No comments acknowledging the host’s delightful sense of humor that makes these videos stand out from the fray of dry, nerdy tutorial videos. Thank you, Peggy.
I understand the theory behind calling a first-inversion a "6" chord, but I think a lot of musicians will interpret that phrase as meaning to add a 6 (in this case, A) to the triad.
I'm an aspiring music artist who's just getting into music production and this was actually a really helpful video! Finding the right chords for a melody can sometimes be tricky, especially if in your head, you hear a different flavor of chord for a certain note, but you have no idea how to actually replicate it on an instrument. Building off one of these might help.
III(major 3) is very dramatic, vi(minor 4) is bittersweet, v(minor 5) tones down the bright major chord, bVI(flat 6) and bVII(flat 7) transports you to a new dimension. That's really all you need to know
It's a matter of music theory: you're "supposed to" end with a V, because it's a very strong and consonant ending. If you want more detail, check out the expression "circle of fifths" (and it's related chord progressions). Jazz and classical music people do it all the f****in' time.
@@alessandro9740 on a major scale, the most stable chord (the chord that gives you a sense of begging or ending) is the chord that names the scale. In this case C major. The chord made out of the 6th note, (A minor) is pretty good at it too. Two chords that won't give you the felling of "it's over" are the V chord and the VII chord. V never resolves (of course there is always a trick to break the rule, but not in this case), it leads (aka makes you wanna listen) to I. I and vi resolve
I'm glad there was a III chord in there somewhere. Peggy, you shouldn't be afraid to introduce the term "inversion" to your audience. I get that this is geared towards beginners, and as such it's a fine video, but introducing the real terminology is a great teaching moment, because the next time a person hears "inversion", he or she realizes that it's a simple concept, and already knows what it is.
You avoided explaining that what you call a "six" chord is based on Figured Bass Traditional Harmony. Meaning, the Root of the Chord is 6 notes higher than the Bass Note. This goes back to days of Bach. However, I teach my students modern harmony, in which a "six" chord is a triad plus the 6th scale degree added to the triad.
Great video. Unfortunately, from 4th progression onwards, the video is ruined because of the +3 pitch change by MIDI transform (so it's not in C but in D#).
@@Priorivy I'm sitting here with my guitar attempting to find the inversion of the C chord she's using in progression 4. I'm coming up with a E flat..had to check my tuning. Gawd what a mess this is.
I skipped to the “The Journey” chord progressions, right from the beginning, so I missed the point where she pitched up the keys. I played along with the progression in C major and thought I was having a stroke.
I love the chord progession I -vi7-iv7-V7-VII as used by The Beach Boys in "Keep an eye on Summer". John Lennon/Beatles also use this in "Free as a bird". Hauntingly beautiful.
Chord progression number 2, she said we never go back to the root, but couldn't you technically look at the Am as the root of the relative minor key? And the cord progression would be i-VII-VI-VII?
Thank you, I didn't get why she said we were still in major ; I guess we could make a major song while still using this chord progression but personally, each time I use this exact chord progression my song is always in natural minor scale with a clear and define root
I absolutely agree. This chord progression has no indication of it being in C Major and the only reason why it doesn’t really sound resolved is because the resolution from the bVII to the tonic isn’t a very strong one.
Your clearly dumbing down for everybody, I can tell that you have an incredible talent for music and more importantly built on a solid understanding, phenomenal lesson, for enthusiastic amateurs like myself.
We're trying to make things as accessible as we can so aspiring artists can learn these essential tricks easy! Thanks for sharing. Hope this helps you out.
I really like watching this host. She was innformative and entertaining. Good voice too! Really, the fun clips cut in here and there added a lot of humor. Great production all around.
A chord progression that uses all the chords in a major scale: I/vi/ii/iii/IV/viidim/I/V. I play each chord for two beats, a good tempo for the feel is 60bpm. I repeat this but replace the V chord with a tonic seventh. For the next progression of the song I like to play a major IV/ivfor one full bar each, then I/vi for two beats each then a V for a full bar. Repeat the IV, then play for iv/V7 for two beats and then the tonic for 2 full bars. You can loop back around to the first progression or do whatever you like. It’s fun to impress people with all the chords, especially when you drop some chords that aren’t in the key (I7, iv)
The “minor change” progression is a classic used by The Beatles … I’ve written dozens of songs (with clever titles and lyrics) for my piano students. One of these songs, “Please Please Give Me Peas”, is very Beatles-esque and uses the “minor change” progression frequently. 😀🎹
7:15 > And if you are into Andy Summers you make it a V iv I I9 ( the tonic major with an extra 'secunde' :-) which adds the warmth at the end, I really liked the explenations of the progressions. never heard that way of thinking before, but it totally makes sence.

Very informative! Almost all progressions were my favorite, but the "secondary dominants" has little more points than the rest of them! Loved the video, subscribed!!
I love the minor change too. It takes me back immediately to Humpty Dumpty Love Song by Travis, using it as a moody closure to the verse chords. Beautiful
I will spare you the intense music theory definition but, what she did with the plugin is raise the pitches. This is termed "transposing" so while the keyboard is playing the note C the sound that you are hearing from it is an Eb. This is something that many orchestra instruments do. For example the Clarinet in A will play the note C (on a music staff) but the note that your ears will hear is an A! That difference in pitch is called the "interval of transposition". The use case is different here only because she is changing the transposition at a whim and normal instruments cannot do that.
Your pronunciation is correct: The Buggles, as in bug-gulls, gulls sounds like gel of "angel". Your playing on|and video are precise, clear, superb! Bravo!
Number 10 has me confused. You played a minor, F major, a minor, E minor, which in the key of C would be vi, IV, vi, III. But you wrote the progression as though it were the relative minor,, A with a minor tonic chord. Is that matter of preference or is there a reason for that? Also, you played a C major first inversion, and called it a V6, which I sort of get, but since the g chord isnt using the 5th, why not call it a C/E? Thx.
Number 10 has me confused too, but she clearly played C minor, then F major (not the VI chord, but the IV chord), C minor, Gm), so the progression played (I played along) was: i IV i v, not i VI i v. I think it was a booboo, but she clearly knows more theory than I do. Was this a test to see if we were paying attention??? I do have 6 fingers on my left hand, and as a guitarist, I can do lots of super cool chords, but sometimes I miscount on progressions. I would love to see a response from @LANDR, who I have to respect for this otherwise fun and great video!
Indeed, something is not correct. in #10 Peggy plays i-VI-i-v in root positions (a-minor key). When demoing in her DAW, where the v-chord is supposed to be a G chord is given (a VII when seen in a). The midi files contain a file with the shown chord info, but is named i-VI-i-V. So what is it that you want us to take home?
Hey everyone! Thanks for the great comments. Peggy switched to the key of A minor for number 10. This changes all the roman numerals to reflect that, and you'll see that with the letter "I" as a lower case "i" for the one chord: A minor. The five chord of A minor is usually E major due to the harmonic minor raised 7th: G#. In this case, it is a minor triad: E minor, with the lower case v. This should have been something we prefaced before getting into it. As far as the MIDI file goes, it is incorrect and will be fixed!
She was in Eb major or C minor. In fact she was in it for a few chord progressions after she tried to show how to transpose the key. The chords I got were C minor, Ab major, then Bb major.
The second one (and the 7th) is my fave, and I'm stuck with it for years lol. One thing I like about it if you want closure, you could just use "I" at the end of the chord progression, so Ex: vi - V - IV - I It's amazing.
I like going from the I to the iii. It's a simple but powerful progression. The saddest progression possible in a major key. The sad song from Lost is the best example of it.
How is the 3rd chord in #4 (Bass Player Prog) I6? Shouldn't that have an A in it if it is 6? You are playing E G C... isn't that just an inverted I chord?
Great question. The 6 in this case stands for "first inversion", which has the 3rd of the chord in the bass. The 6 stand for the interval between the bass note "E", and the root note "C". Learn more about inversions here: blog.landr.com/figured-bass-chord-inversions/
Lifetime guitarist! A lover of music-But somehow, someway, this presentation by this beautiful soul struck me right to the core. Time to open my DAW and run wild! Hope everyone is safe and well.
Could someone explain what a 6 chord actually is? I’m having trouble figuring out the difference between a 6 chord and a 7th chord. You just wrote C E G A. I thought that was essentially an inverted A7 (dominant).
Heyy the quality of this video has gained one more subscriber !!!!! Yeyyyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am happy to have found this account and hope you are happy to have a new subscriber as well 😃✨🎶 In any way Thank You so much 🙏
"I6" can be used as notation for the 1st inversion of the I chord: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figured_bass#Numbers I would avoid this notation though, because it kind of clashes with other notations. For example she uses "ii7" in the same progression, which doesn't refer to any inversion but to a tension (a minor ii chord with it's 7 on top). In this context I'd read "I6" as a I chord with it's 6 on top (for example in C this would be c e g a). I suggest writing inversions with shash chords: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_chord It works fine with actual chords. For example you'd notate the first inversion of C as "C/E", a C major chord but with E in bass. I don't know if it clashes with any notation standards of the number system, but I'd probably read "I/III" or "III/3" as 1st inversion of I, a I chord, but with it's 3rd in bass. edit: Seems like slashes in the number system don't work that way but refer to secondary dominants and such: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_chord Honestly to me that kind of notation feels more like a music theory analysis of the progression and less like a usable chord sheet to play along songs though. Every notation has it's strengths and weaknesses, I guess. I don't know, maybe write just "I (with 3rd in bass)", "I (1st inversion)" or something like that :)
Number 2 is in the minor key, should be written as 1, 7, 6, 7. Though a more interesting progression would be Amin, G, F, E7. Creating a nice descending bass line with the E resolving to the A.
Thank you. Love it. My favorite chord progression is an 8 chord progression and I dont know the technical name of it but I used it in 2 songs I composed: (F, A, C, E) (F, A, B, D)(E, G, B, D)(E, G, A, C)(D, F, A, C)(D, F, G, B)(C, E, G, B)(C, E, G, B) Let me know if your interested in the 2 songs I used this for.
wow, this is so easy to understand, for me like i always play or create music by ear, it really helps me a lot to understand, and add more idea for my chord progression.
Thank you so much. I’ve been playing my scales like a madman. Someone whom I respect told me, learn the basics. This is next level for me. Thanks again
My favorite way to end a minor chord progression is with the tonic on a suspended chord going into a major chord or the 5th. For example, c suspended into g major. Give that’s sense of resolution and continuation in the song. For people who are too lazy to look up the notes, here they are. (For the mentioned progression). g, C,d,into g b d. Very simple and the sort of dissonance makes it my favorite way to end a chord progression since it gives that feeling of hope back.
most of them are basic and shallow progression,you will find more interesting chord progression in video game music like Final Fantasy Series.it never follows those rules to form progression
When I was 13 I bought an iMac and started learning music by myself strictly from experimentation with no outside influence. Then I started learning music and I have to say. My music became much more generic. Im looking at the files from when I was 13 and there are some seriously good original style music. from personal experience with popular music, these are the chords progressions I've found from listening to music (in c major key if im saying that right) 1. C-G-Am-F 2. C-G-Dm-F 3. F-C-G-Am 4. C-F-Am-G 5. Am-F-C-G 6. Am-F-C-Em 7. C-Dm-Am-F 8. C-Am-F-G 9. Am-G-F-C 10. Am-C-G-F 11. C-Em-Am-F 12. C-F-G-Am 13. Am-Em-F-C At this point it just variations from here

This changes all the roman numerals to reflect that, and you'll see that with the letter "I" as a lower case "i" for the one chord: A minor. The five chord of A minor is usually E major due to the harmonic minor raised 7th: G#. In this case, it is a minor triad: E minor, with the lower case v. This should have been something we prefaced before getting into it. As far as the MIDI file goes, it is incorrect and will be fixed!
@@LANDRmusic OK, thanks!
She was in Eb major or C minor. In fact she was in it for a few chord progressions after she tried to show how to transpose the key. The chords I got were C minor, Ab major, then Bb major.
The second one (and the 7th) is my fave, and I'm stuck with it for years lol.
One thing I like about it if you want closure, you could just use "I" at the end of the chord progression, so
Ex: vi - V - IV - I
It's amazing.
no ii-V-I, or I-IV-V-I ??
I was expecting that ii-V-I will be the "Jazz it up"
TheBaconWizard ii-V-I was implemented in the “jazz it up” chord progression
It is a ii V I. But starting on I for two bars and you substitute the second I with a vi
2-5-1 is not really a full progression, just used as part of a fuller jazz progression, as was done here...
jazz it up & secondary dominants & minor change are my favs. thanks for this video!
3:08 "this is used in a lot of songs you love" *proceeds to name 3 songs i never heard of*
How have you not heard of Blackbird by the Beatles though?
I like going from the I to the iii. It's a simple but powerful progression. The saddest progression possible in a major key. The sad song from Lost is the best example of it.
How is the 3rd chord in #4 (Bass Player Prog) I6? Shouldn't that have an A in it if it is 6? You are playing E G C... isn't that just an inverted I chord?
Great question. The 6 in this case stands for "first inversion", which has the 3rd of the chord in the bass. The 6 stand for the interval between the bass note "E", and the root note "C". Learn more about inversions here: blog.landr.com/figured-bass-chord-inversions/
she's using classical notation instead of jazz, its ok
@@LANDRmusic So, what is the notation for C-E-G-A?
That would be Cmaj6, or Imaj6
@@LANDRmusic OK. I see.
Omg I randomly found your Favourite chord Progression and i loved it and then i saw this video today
the "trap chords" is literally the chord of ransom
no it isn't
Lifetime guitarist! A lover of music-But somehow, someway, this presentation by this beautiful soul struck me right to the core. Time to open my DAW and run wild! Hope everyone is safe and well.
That's so nice to hear Michael. Thanks for dropping a line.

thank you. You played them in C, but after you demonstrated the Pitch utility in Live, you left it on, so they all sound in Eb.
A I6 chord?! I was expecting a C6 (C E G A) not a first inversion chord? Just me or was anyone else really confused?
Yes. I (first inv.) makes more sense
Could someone explain what a 6 chord actually is? I’m having trouble figuring out the difference between a 6 chord and a 7th chord.
You just wrote C E G A. I thought that was essentially an inverted A7 (dominant).
I V VI IV is sometimes called female sensitive, or pop-punk.
There is a non-exaustive list of songs using this progression on wikipedia
I-V-vi-IV or I-V-VI-IV?
Heyy the quality of this video has gained one more subscriber !!!!!
Yeyyyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am happy to have found this account and hope you are happy to have a new subscriber as well 😃✨🎶
In any way Thank You so much 🙏
Thanks for the feedback! I hope this helps you out.
My favourite is bIII - v - I. So Eb major, G minor, C major. Cardiacs use this one all over the place.
I like to use 1-4-5 and 5-4-1 a lot. I also like 5-1-6-2.
i dont like those
Great quick lesson!
am i going crazy or is the chord she referring to as a I6 not a I6 chord?
I6 as in it's in first inversion, meaning the 3rd of the chord is in the bass.
?
Me to is more like the 6th on the root, not the second. 9th?
the 6 means first inversion
"I6" can be used as notation for the 1st inversion of the I chord: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figured_bass#Numbers
I would avoid this notation though, because it kind of clashes with other notations. For example she uses "ii7" in the same progression, which doesn't refer to any inversion but to a tension (a minor ii chord with it's 7 on top). In this context I'd read "I6" as a I chord with it's 6 on top (for example in C this would be c e g a).
I suggest writing inversions with shash chords: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_chord
It works fine with actual chords. For example you'd notate the first inversion of C as "C/E", a C major chord but with E in bass. I don't know if it clashes with any notation standards of the number system, but I'd probably read "I/III" or "III/3" as 1st inversion of I, a I chord, but with it's 3rd in bass.
edit: Seems like slashes in the number system don't work that way but refer to secondary dominants and such: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_chord
Honestly to me that kind of notation feels more like a music theory analysis of the progression and less like a usable chord sheet to play along songs though. Every notation has it's strengths and weaknesses, I guess. I don't know, maybe write just "I (with 3rd in bass)", "I (1st inversion)" or something like that :)
Thank you,Excellent !!!
Number 2 is in the minor key, should be written as 1, 7, 6, 7. Though a more interesting progression would be Amin, G, F, E7. Creating a nice descending bass line with the E resolving to the A.
AKA the Andalusian cadence
Great video. Thanks!
The minor 2 major 5 major 1
Especially in Jazz :)
Thank you. Love it. My favorite chord progression is an 8 chord progression and I dont know the technical name of it but I used it in 2 songs I composed: (F, A, C, E) (F, A, B, D)(E, G, B, D)(E, G, A, C)(D, F, A, C)(D, F, G, B)(C, E, G, B)(C, E, G, B)
Let me know if your interested in the 2 songs I used this for.
5:48 number 7 is my fav
Do you want me to recommend you songs with that chord progression? I know a lot cause I like it too :D
DAMN PEGGY
wow, this is so easy to understand, for me like i always play or create music by ear, it really helps me a lot to understand, and add more idea for my chord progression.
Great to hear!
"Number 5 is jazz it up", (*plays basic triads*)
lmao. yeah, that’s bullshit. they’re trying to appeal to beginners. nothing wrong with that, but it’s not accurate.
Obviously this video is catered to beginners like me. Get your elitist arrogant ass out of here
YEAH U NEED 7THS AND 9TH FOR THAT
@@bananeneter999 Woha keep ur hair on its a joke musicians have
Thank you so much. I’ve been playing my scales like a madman. Someone whom I respect told me, learn the basics.
This is next level for me. Thanks again
I didnt know chords could "burrow" lol hey brah lemme burrow a chord 🤣🤣
not funny...
My favorite way to end a minor chord progression is with the tonic on a suspended chord going into a major chord or the 5th. For example, c suspended into g major. Give that’s sense of resolution and continuation in the song. For people who are too lazy to look up the notes, here they are. (For the mentioned progression). g, C,d,into g b d. Very simple and the sort of dissonance makes it my favorite way to end a chord progression since it gives that feeling of hope back.
I concur about number 9 is my fave! That borrowed chord gives me all the sweet feels🤗
It's so good!
@@LANDRmusic I 100% concur! Glad I found your channel it’s wonderful🤗
most of them are basic and shallow progression,you will find more interesting chord progression in video game music like Final Fantasy Series.it never follows those rules to form progression
ok
ok
Hi: Gifted Musician, thank you much for actually taking the time off your busy schedule to teach an amateur, like me. Wow!! Thank you, R
You're very welcome!
Tks Very much
You are welcome
Nice and clearly explained, thank you!
When I was 13 I bought an iMac and started learning music by myself strictly from experimentation with no outside influence.
Then I started learning music and I have to say. My music became much more generic. Im looking at the files from when I was 13 and there are some seriously good original style music.
from personal experience with popular music, these are the chords progressions I've found from listening to music (in c major key if im saying that right)
1. C-G-Am-F
2. C-G-Dm-F
3. F-C-G-Am
4. C-F-Am-G
5. Am-F-C-G
6. Am-F-C-Em
7. C-Dm-Am-F
8. C-Am-F-G
9. Am-G-F-C
10. Am-C-G-F
11. C-Em-Am-F
12. C-F-G-Am
13. Am-Em-F-C
At this point it just variations from here
such melodic beauty in your music enjoyed very much indeed keep composing
YOU ROCK! Thank you so much for the great lesson. Dope teacher.
Glad you liked it!
Slight difference from major code progressions in Japanese Pop Some major ones: I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-ii-V (Canon code progression) IV-V-iii-vi No.9 was so major in 1970s
