Nicely explained also liking the skillshare chopping breaks video 😎
As much as I’m learning what works, I’m also realizing through these tutorials why certain things didn’t work in the past.
Yes integration of your learnings means you’re moving forward!
For anyone who might be wondering why it’s called the 5th when it’s 7 semitones up: in most scales (such as major or minor) it’ll be the 5th note of the scale. As well as the consonance of the (approximate) 3:2 ratio, another reason why it’s commonly used in electronic music is that it pretty much always stays in key when transposed, unlike 3rds for example which would have to change between major and minor if you want to stay in key. With a 5th, you can tune a second osc to a fixed 5th (or sample it) and just play whatever notes you like.
Thanks for breaking it down. Was curious about that.
Your style of explanation is so on point. You should do more music theory videos. You have a pedagogical spirit like few of those good teachers that I remember with a smile. Not even kidding! Thanks for this!
Thank you man. I hope to improve that energy in future videos!
I've been saying the same thing since I found home 2 years or so ago.
The way Stanjah pronounces his words and explains is better than any other teacher I've seen!
Cheers for making my google pedagogical!!
agreed
Definitely do more
2:25 reminded me of a very cool phenomenon that demostrates that chords are just polyrythms. In the very same way that the 5th occilates 3 times for the fundamentals 2 times, If you create a one bar polyrythm (3/2) with any percussion, could even be noise, and you speed it up to a ridiculous bpm (in the thousands) The rhythm will turn into an interval: A fifth! Same thing works for other harmonic intervals like a fourth being 4/3 and a major third being 5/4
That’s a cool way to think about how harmony and frequency translates to rhythm. They are all related and almost like fractals of each other!
yea guys we all seen this Adam Neely video
@@mrbigmusic8161 I honestly couldn’t remember where I heard it from thanks
On a more dnb related note; if you sample a reece or a wobble that is in quarternotes, and play that sample up a fifth, you're going to get quarternote triplets, too!
@@mrbigmusic8161 Which video? I haven't seen it and would like to.
About fifths' - it's also called "power chord" in guitar theory. You just go grab any key and pick 5th note from the major (as I like to think) scale w/ a root note and this is it.
Yall remember the famous PS1 startup sound? In bass there are root and 5th note - G - from C scale played and that's why it's sound so pleasing :)
Thanks for the knowledge. You’re right I have heard power chord used a lot amongst my rock friends!
I immediately noticed that too.
Drop D guitar tuning (DAD)GBE adds that extra low D octave to the power chord giving that iconic 'heavy' or 'chug' sound. Very popular in heavy metal. Try combing your fifths with a low octave, it is a huge sound !
I usually use drop tunings, but I prefer playing in standard one because sometimes I transport guitar melodies into my DAW. And also I use acoustic more. Not recording though, but I really should try something like Pendulum did in "9000 Miles", for example.
Green Day was the master of power chords.
Wow, old video - but I love the explanation of 7 semitones, then showing it in the synth that you can do the same; my music world just opened up massively.. what you don't know, you don't know, thanks Music theory rocks as is more important than people generally say. To me, it's like learning the language of music, and it is evitable to need to learn it, to be able to do more easily.
You are an excellent teacher. I want to just as much take a class with you as I do want to rave with you.
Perhaps we will bruck out together one day!
An amazing pianist I know once told
me 5ths are very pleasing to the human ear and this video really proved that. Especially when you lowered the 5th under the root note in the first synth, really felt that.
Yes, it just sounds right!
These SIMPLE examples are so powerful. It's exactly how someone should teach sound design. You're on the right track. Also, root + fifth is how power chords are basically constructed in genres like punk and harder forms of rock. They leave a lot more space in the arrangement for busier pieces.
Yes youre rigth about the power chords used in rock!
nice
Killing it stranjah, bless you for all your time and knowledge
It’s amazing how good of a teacher and producer Stranjah is
Thats was super duper helpful, thanks. As many mentioned in comments it would be very helpful to see more music theory videos from you. RUclips bloated with general music theory videos and they rarely correlate with modern breakbeat, dnb, techno and house genres.
This was so great to have had spelled out. Thanks again, Bro!
Thank you stranjah for once again, providing us with some super useful content 🙌
This is great! STRANJAH deserves much more recognition!
Yes bro. Iv watched your videos for a while now and have learned so much doing it. Big ups bro.
Really great tutorial thank you. - learned so much on this one.
My skills and understanding are growing exponentially since finding your videos man.
Thank you so much, honestly 🙏💙💙
Okay.. so your videos have been the key to keeping me motivated on this new journey. And I’ve truly felt my confidence and knowledge grow with each one but this one here… wow. I feel like I leveled up x10 after this. Thank you.
This one was awesome. Simple, but needed. Seeing the Netsky example was great. Nice clean sound.
Awesome video man, keep up the good work🙏🏻
You just provided me with a ton of insight and inspiration. Thank you.
Oh man, I suddenly remember a lot of stuff I learned in music school a long time ago. I really need to revise music theory, this is so good and helpful
The wide usage of the term "power chord" is so prevalent for damn good reason. In common practice its the most important interval next to the octave. It leaves out the often-undesirable harmonic complexity of a chord complete with triads and more rich options for a different context, while allowing has that "filling out" effect that essentially gives the chord's root more punch, more backbone...
The variance between these options is used dynamically by bands from Blink 182 to Foo Fighters to balance between emotional richness and rawer power as the name suggests.
This has been carried over to dance music perfectly, and is a very impactful concept that's good to see laid out so clearly.
If I'd not come to dance music from a background in rock, this would've been just what i needed as the beginner.
I still learned from the way you touched on more specific applications of the 5th. You really took this one concept from total beginner level in a way that's still entertaining enough for anyone else to watch through to get some different ideas for actually using it in the music.
Keep up the awesome work man, i can't get over how great it is to see more instruction for the broken side of the beat 😎
Great vid Stranjah ✌️
Also Your “Diplomat” song is pure magic 🙃
One love Brother
Thanks a lot, Stranjah! This is a total gamechanger.
Great to see and hear musical theory applied in sound design! Thanks 🙏
Really helpful. Tutorial. Thank you!!
glad to be here again tuning in !
I can't thank you enough for your channel and your videos. I have no music education, never played an instrument, and so my music theory literacy is almost non-existent. I've picked up a few things here or there but never really understood the "why" behind things. this was so helpful!
So on point my friend! Content is pure fire!
Appreciate it!
Oh man, one of your best gift/vid (bro!) . Simple but , yeah. Mad.
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting, everyday i learn , thank you Stranjah 🙏
My pleasure! Glad you are learning each day!
Nice description and tutorial
Great video as always buddy!
I like this geezer, he makes music making seem easy. People will learn much from watching these well made and informative vids. He knows his genre well.
Wow man this is such an interesting video I love it. Big up Stranjah.👊
Just back from vacation...and my Guru Stranjah is putting me right back at my desk making music..... 🙏
I paid thousands to go to college and university to study music technology because I wanted to do something with drum and bass ect..
These videos literally tell you everything you need to know for production and imo does a better job helping you understand how to create the music you want.
You should cover how chords are fundamentally created, tetrachords, etc. I think when talking about 3rds or 5ths it's important that people get it's actually related to the key or scale. Also learning this kind of music theory opens up chords to experimentation, e.g. moving the 3rd down a half step is a minor chord!
Keep spreading the word and doing what you do best. I'm always looking forward to your next video.
good video. the 5th is all over the place. its good practice to get used to the sound of the interval (or all intervals in general)
Yes integral and simple step!
Big in the game bro, keep up the great work 👏
Bigup brother, I haven't forgotten about that vocal you sent, will be in touch!
Love this teacher 🙏🏽
Great video man 🙏
Thank you! I want to be a music producer, so these videos insanely help me. I have learnt plenty of new things in like 2 days just by watching your videos. Thank you!
Thanks for the knowledge bro!
Great tututorial. explained well.
Thanks man glad it was easy to understand.
Some simple and catchy tutorial, great job...
Somehow in any music that the power of the fifth is the basic and the most used chord progression in every track...
Thanks so much, this helped me!
Great video man thanks
That was a great episode, you are the master
Thank you
Mind blown. Normally wouldn't understand theory buy you make it more understanding.
Glad you enjoyed this man!
Thanks mate this was very helpful more music theory stuff would be great
amazing video thank you so much
Bro your videos are pure gold! Been a junglist for 20 years and tried producing it a few times but always kinda failed at making the tracks interesting. Probably gonna give it a shot again ;) But your tuts are good for producing any style of music in any daw
Great video. Got my like and subscription.
Dropin some heavyweight tips as always. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Much respects!!
def not heavyweight, more basic, but extremely well explained for a large audience 👍
Another Quality vid as always Stranjah!
A quick tip for anyone out there.
A fifth is also 5 semitones DOWN much easier to remember than 7 semitones up
5th = 5 semitones down
Great video man - more on theory plz!
this tut is actually really good
Really nice explained 🌻🚀
one of the best music tutorials I’ve seen
Cheers for the vid bro
Solid bro 👍
great video thank you
Wicked tutorial. 🔥
Nice one stranja! I don't use this enough, deffo am guna now tho!
Music to my ears
VERY informative
first i've heard about the 3:2 ratio, very cool
Yes very cool mathematical relationship!
BIG UPS my dude!
Never been on this channel but i enjoyed it. Indica strain brought me here
Super helpful music theory lesson, thanks a ton ^_^
Amazing after less than 15 minutes and I'm already better at making music than I was before.
One sick producer 👊🏻
Bigup!
Yeah very well presented, thanks..
This tutorial is amazing 👏 Thank you 🙏....is it possible you could make a sample pack of the beats in this tutorial great sounding drums ....would love all those drum hits .
Thanks 🙏 Bless
thank you for this ✌🏻
Brilliant!
Awesome dude honesty didn't know that after almost 20 years 😀
Master Stranjah 🙏🏾
🙏🙏🙏
A small bit of theory can go a long way 🔥
Yes! Thats the sound of good dnb! I miss tunes that sound like this, now everything has so basic melodies
Been wondering how they got this sound forever. Thanks man.
Thank you a thousand times.
great video
I always thought having an eighth was the most essential aspect of making dnb lol
Amazing
On point
"Going somewhere, but never arriving"...like 90% of my tunes, haha. Great vid!
Hahahaha depressing isn't it? Keep grinding brother, we will get there
Bruhh mans insane!!!
i really like your vids
could you maybe do a tutorial on "phaser/flanger basses" like in Pola & Bryson - Bad Habit
Wonderfull
Perfect 5th is also good for the kick drum if a track is busy with chords / melody...
Dope, so simple...Maya Jane Coles 4 eva 🤘Besides using this for bass leads, would you say its more of a trick to use for leads in general or do you find yourself making entire songs with chord progressions that leave out the third if that makes sense? Say a rhodes progression that only uses the root and the fifth or would that be too dull/boring you think?
At 9:43 the deep House example... there's a sample in the drums that plays a rhythm under the hats, sounds midrange, super common in house music, can anyone tell me what sort of sample this is?
I've tried recreate it with hats and it never sounds right. It plays on beats 1 and 3 after the kick, what type of sample should I use for this?
4:44 Me listening with my headphones up loud: 💀
Big TF Up!
