    Really great tutorial. I'm 56. I've been playing guitar and a little bit of keyboards 'by ear', since school days. For some reason I could never get into reading music. The new DAW age, especially Ableton is such a game changer. You can literally hear the music note for note as you write it. Pretty exciting stuff.

    In the R&B section.the one you're referring to 9th chords & 11th chords are actually "add 9 chord" & "add 11 chord".so F major 9th=FACEG,F major 11th chord=FACEGB,F major add 9 chord=FACG & F major add 11 chord=FACB.The difference is that if you add something without maintaining a major third or minor third interval after a major or minor chord than that's an added note thus the name "add 9 or add 11 chord" on the other hand in 9th & 11th chords you will find major or minor interval maintained in each note of that specific chord

    This is a really great video! 👍🏾How do you know which chords fit within a certain genre? Are there specific rules for formulating jazz, hip hop, pop, r&b etc. Can you mix 7th chords, sus chords, min9 with different keys or is there some kind of music theory rule that specifies which combinations work together/don't work together and which genre the chords belong in?

    Hi! In the Lo-Fi section when you do the second chord you put the root note in C#3 and not in D, If I is C how is C#3 ii and not D... I dont know if Im making any sense. Im just very confused about how you constructed the 2nd chord...

    • @dsanj4745
      @dsanj4745 3 года назад +1

      The root note of the second chord is Db, not C#. The second chord is Dbm7, so it is a borrowed ii chord.

    One question though..
    Aren't the i, iv and v all supposed to be minor in the minor scale.
    I'm asking because of the trap section. Is that some sort of different scale? Is there a name for it?

    • @nickthechen
      @nickthechen 4 года назад +1

      Shawn Siya in the Natural minor scale (default minor):
      i (minor )
      ii ° (diminished)
      III (Major)
      iv (minor)
      v (minor)
      VI (Major)
      VII (Major)
      In the trap section I did
      i iv V iv
      for the V chord I borrowed the G# to make it major to add more tension
