In the G to A minor connection, you have parallel octaves between the outer voices and parallel 5ths between the bass and alto. Not very good voice leading even in "modern useage". There are better solutions. The problem starts with the choice of using a root position voicing for the I chord in the right hand. A better result can be achieved by starting with a voicing that has the note C in the soprano for the I chord.
If you study music theory and functional harmony, you will find the answer. Chords are assigned numbers (Roman numerals) based on which degree of the major or minor scale they are rooted on. The Chord progression dealt with in this example is I-V-vi-IV. Almost all of the pop songs written today use this Chord progression. To make intelligible music, you can't simply string chords together at random. Each Chord has a harmonic function and there are "common practice" conventions that dictate which Chord follows another.

Outstanding! The best explanation on RUclips. Your vdo leaves no detail uncovered.
This makes total sense now, thank you!
Very clearly explained, so a beginner like me can understand. thank you!
The parallel thirds in the tenor and alto are not a problem. But many would consider the consecutive octaves from G to A as a problem.
Excellent lesson due to your good communication skils.
Thanks 🙏
This is helpful!
How about a lesson on 4-Part Voice Leading?
Благодарю ,я не понимаю в музыке , но для изучения английского было очень полезно, взял пару десятков фраз шаблонов.
Awesome!

It sounds like let it be
G major chord with A minor chord, why not opposite direction bas note against uper voices (classical harmony rule)?
@00:23 "tenants" or "tenets"
Why do they say say a larger number then proceed to say a smaller one? e.g. 1 3 6 4
