Hey! Nice video! Okay so I have a question: if I have a violin duet, so two separate lines, and there’s a d sharp on one line. If the other line also has a d, but no accidental markings,(same d as on the top line), will the d on the second line also be a sharp? Or will it be natural because it is on a different line.?
it'll make more sense to you if you learn MORE SCALES. I'll explain in C MAJOR/Amin (becuase KEYS are just PITCH) less # or b symbals to confuse you. The MAJOR's scale interval is just the REFERENCE intervals..that all MODES/CHORDS or other scale's intervals are reference to. There's DIFFERENT scales..Such as C Harmonic MAJOR ( ion b6 or Ab) and A Harmonic min ( aeo maj7) G# or A melodic min ( aeo maj6, maj7 or dorian Maj7 or ion b3) F#, G#.. Lets say I play and A min chord....then play different BASS walking Notes. A, E, F#, G#......Im borrowing from the A melodic min or harmonic min Then G7 into C MAJOR.... Then play C Major..then play those same bass notes...while playing the C Major I would chose Ab to identify G#/Ab....becuase there's a G note in the C chord. I would also use Db ( the Db is borrow from the N6 or n6) it derive from Harmonic min b2 or melodic min b2....I simply apply it after the MAJOR's TONIC.... I can also apply it after the A min's ( relative) ( A Harmonic min b2) Play the A min chord....Bb F G# Bass notes....then G Maj into C Major for Cadence...I might play different bass notes A...Bb, F# G#, Db aug G Maj..then A min... I might even play the Db aug triad below the B and E ( note) Im on the Guitar It'll have to write the B and E note a Db aug add #9, #6 ( it's from Lyd aug #2, #6..The B is the #6...the E is the #9.... Then I might play the B min chord against the open E ( it's dorian b2..borrowed B min add 11 from A melodic min. Then Play Bb Maj7 against the open E ( borrowed from N6) Then the Db aug...or F maj7/Db Then E7 into A min.. Then Eb Maj7 C min G min F min E7 into A min or play Bb Maj to C Min G min F min E7 into A min or Play Bb Maj to G min C min D min E7 into A min... You can push and pull between C Major towards C min AND from Amin towards A MAJOR..... E Maj F# min B min C# min D Maj7 E7 into Amin... Im still in C MAJOR/A min as the parent KEY....I play to C MAJOR or Amin YOU DONT HAVE too...IM just using examples.. I play the C min ON PURPOSE I could had easily played E7 into A MAJOR anytime I wanted... such as....C Maj into F min G maj A7 into D min E7 into A min.. The other scales dont have keys signature... You can apply them ANYWHERE you please. Using A as the ROOT...its just give the SCALEs INTERVAL.( so you might learn it) I could had played D Harmonic min b2....anytime I wanted when playing around the D min chord....( I didnt change KEYS) D min add 9 chord....with these BASS notes D, A, Eb, Bb...or even the C# b6 = Harmonic MAJOR b3 = Melodic min b3, b6 = Harmonic min b3, b6, b7 = NATURAL min b2, b3 b2, b3, b6 b3, b5 b3, b5, b6 b3, #4 b3, #4, b6 You can reverse the process...PUSH UP from minor towards MAJOR b3, b6, b7
Interesting! I agree with Nicola. Two separate lines. An accidental on one line does not affect the other. HOWEVER, if it sounds like it might be a mistake in the printing of the music, you can check with the publisher to see if there is a ERRATA sheet. This will tell you if there were any mistakes in printing and if that d natural should really be a d sharp. Mistakes in printing can happen and ERRATA sheets are a common way to address those mistakes.
@@Oddquartet it's NOT a Mistake. There's 7 notes scales with 3 CLUSTER notes. There's just Enigmatic scale..Some people call using the N6 chord, example...A Harmonic min b2 = Bb lydian #6 A melodic min b2 = Bb Lydian #5, #7 D double harmonic min = Bb lydian #2, #6. That would be.....Bb, G#.....Bb, F#, G#...or Bb, C#, G#. DO MAKE SURE YOU SEE it and GRASP it In C MAJOR/A min...at first Before you Fu4k it all up when transposing to other keys. There's also 8 notes scales....such as full diminished W/H or H/W You could stack...Maj. Dominant, aug, min, dim...every b3 intervals. IF YOU KNOW it, USED IT and APPLY it
I have a question. I'm trying to transpose a song that is in C major to E flat minor and there are a few accidentals listed in the original key such as C# so what note does that become?
So, sharps and flats in the key signature are not called accidentals, right? Only when appearing in the measures? This is how I learned SO many years ago in piano lessons. I know it’s a small point, but many videos I see on this subject call ALL sharps, flats, naturals (including the key signature) accidentals.
Thanks you so much I've been struggling so much with this part of music this video really helped me understand better
Woah ! The simplest clearest explanation ever ! THANK YOU super star. I appreciate so much ! Also the visuals were on point! Thank you again ! 😁😁
thanks for this video it hepls me a lot
hi
THANK YOU, YOU ARE AN ACTUAL LIFE SAVER. I APPRECITATE THIS SO MUCH
Great video! Thanks for this
Extremely underrated but helpful! Thank you!!
Helped me a lot
My band teacher made the entire band class watch this💀 It is helpful but yeah.
my one too it washelpful
Thank you❤ Now I understand what is accidentals 😊
very helpful, thank you!
This video is great
keep up the vidoes
Thank you

Aweso
me!! Also the part 1
Really super🎉
I watched this at my music class
Great video! I do have another question though... can accidentals be like, "canceled out" mid-bar?
What is link for downloading the examples ?
Hey! Nice video! Okay so I have a question: if I have a violin duet, so two separate lines, and there’s a d sharp on one line. If the other line also has a d, but no accidental markings,(same d as on the top line), will the d on the second line also be a sharp? Or will it be natural because it is on a different line.?
Tyler Natural d because it's another line. It dosen't happen a lot, normally all line are in the same key, no regards for the clefs.
it'll make more sense to you if you learn MORE SCALES.
I'll explain in C MAJOR/Amin (becuase KEYS are just PITCH)
less # or b symbals to confuse you.
The MAJOR's scale interval is just the REFERENCE intervals..that
all MODES/CHORDS or other scale's intervals are reference to.
There's DIFFERENT scales..Such as C Harmonic MAJOR ( ion b6 or Ab)
and A Harmonic min ( aeo maj7) G#
or A melodic min ( aeo maj6, maj7 or dorian Maj7 or ion b3) F#, G#..
Lets say I play and A min chord....then play different BASS walking Notes.
A, E, F#, G#......Im borrowing from the A melodic min or harmonic min
Then G7 into C MAJOR....
Then play C Major..then play those same bass notes...while playing the C Major
I would chose Ab to identify G#/Ab....becuase there's a G note in the C chord.
I would also use Db ( the Db is borrow from the N6 or n6)
it derive from Harmonic min b2 or melodic min b2....I simply apply it
after the MAJOR's TONIC....
I can also apply it after the A min's ( relative) ( A Harmonic min b2)
Play the A min chord....Bb F G# Bass notes....then G Maj into C Major
for Cadence...I might play different bass notes A...Bb, F# G#, Db aug
G Maj..then A min...
I might even play the Db aug triad below the B and E ( note) Im on the Guitar
It'll have to write the B and E note a Db aug add #9, #6 ( it's from Lyd aug #2, #6..The B is the #6...the E is the #9....
Then I might play the B min chord against the open E ( it's dorian b2..borrowed
B min add 11 from A melodic min.
Then Play Bb Maj7 against the open E ( borrowed from N6)
Then the Db aug...or F maj7/Db
Then E7 into A min..
Then Eb Maj7 C min G min F min E7 into A min
or play Bb Maj to C Min G min F min E7 into A min
or Play Bb Maj to G min C min D min E7 into A min...
You can push and pull between C Major towards C min
AND from Amin towards A MAJOR.....
E Maj F# min B min C# min D Maj7 E7 into Amin...
Im still in C MAJOR/A min as the parent KEY....I play to C MAJOR or Amin
YOU DONT HAVE too...IM just using examples..
I play the C min ON PURPOSE
I could had easily played E7 into A MAJOR anytime I wanted...
such as....C Maj into F min G maj A7 into D min E7 into A min..
The other scales dont have keys signature...
You can apply them ANYWHERE you please.
Using A as the ROOT...its just give the SCALEs INTERVAL.( so you might learn it)
I could had played D Harmonic min b2....anytime I wanted when playing
around the D min chord....( I didnt change KEYS)
D min add 9 chord....with these BASS notes D, A, Eb, Bb...or even the C#
b6 = Harmonic MAJOR
b3 = Melodic min
b3, b6 = Harmonic min
b3, b6, b7 = NATURAL min
b2, b3
b2, b3, b6
b3, b5
b3, b5, b6
b3, #4
b3, #4, b6
You can reverse the process...PUSH UP from minor towards MAJOR
b3, b6, b7

@@Oddquartet it's NOT a Mistake. There's 7 notes scales with 3 CLUSTER notes.
There's just Enigmatic scale..Some people call using the N6 chord,
example...A Harmonic min b2 = Bb lydian #6
A melodic min b2 = Bb Lydian #5, #7
D double harmonic min = Bb lydian #2, #6.
That would be.....Bb, G#.....Bb, F#, G#...or Bb, C#, G#.
DO MAKE SURE YOU SEE it and GRASP it In C MAJOR/A min...at first
Before you Fu4k it all up when transposing to other keys.
There's also 8 notes scales....such as full diminished W/H or H/W
You could stack...Maj. Dominant, aug, min, dim...every b3 intervals.
IF YOU KNOW it, USED IT and APPLY it
Sharp-play the note one half step (semitones) Flat-play the note one half step (semitones)
Natural-play the note without any sharps or flats
I have a question. I'm trying to transpose a song that is in C major to E flat minor and there are a few accidentals listed in the original key such as C# so what note does that become?
but why did you play the two tied notes separately from 5:28
So, sharps and flats in the key signature are not called accidentals, right? Only when appearing in the measures? This is how I learned SO many years ago in piano lessons. I know it’s a small point, but many videos I see on this subject call ALL sharps, flats, naturals (including the key signature) accidentals.
You are correct. Key signatures are separate from accidentals you would see in the measures of the music.
If theres an accidental in bass clef, should i apply it on treble clef notes?
Great question. The answer is, no. The accidental from one clef should not be applied to another clef.
@@Oddquartet Thank you for answering!
👍
thanks because iwas not good at it
Mamma says I was an accidental.
😋
this is not good muscic
i look for clasic music and i find a white nam
Booooo
