Here’s me playing along, guessing the tracks. Little did I know, you named the projects with the exact track name. 😂 Still, I got a few of them right just using my ears so I’m pleased. 😊
8:26 To be exact, this tune obviously is in key of D-minor (I III VI VII). Of course, chords stay the same 'cos it's parallel to F-major, but this certainly gravitates more to Dm than F.
Love your stuff Will. This is purely a question, I hope the tone isn't lost in text. But, along with your tutorials, do you have any songs, production credits or remixes etc, to your name? Just curious. We all know the saying, if you can't 'do', teach :P I was just wondering, it would add a lot of credence to the videos.
I used to produce much more but now my days are full of running EDM Tips and coaching or making these videos. Every time I sit down to write a track, I think "I could make. a video about this..." and that's the truth. Anyway, you should be able to find some of my tracks, I have my name on them :)
@3:50 sixteenth then two sixteenths and one more sixteenth - everybody say after me very rapidly a couple of "sixteenths"😀, perhaps sixteen times :D you mastered it though Will
Hi Will. I’m looking at getting a new computer as my 2012 Mac won’t run Ableton 12. I’m thinking of switching to pc. What’s your set up and what do you recommend mate? Cheers Chris.

Honestly, I am on the verge of seizure with all the graphics flying across the screen, the flares, and the one second cuts. Its like a 15 second ShamWow commercial from the 2000s, but made much much longer. Im sure the lesson is good, but my brain tapped out after one minute.
@@EDMTipssounds like @darlenevilee5675 just needed to move on and find a video without all the banners and graphics. I actually enjoyed your video! Thanks!
MDMA at a funeral... 🤣😝😵💫😂- roflmao... some days I suspect we are somehow related... but I digress. Those sus2 chords flirt a lot with mu-Major chords (1-2-3-5, inversions notwithstanding) you find in some jazz, and prominently in Steely Dan's work. Have those been utilized by any EDM artists of note? Esoterica, I know...
I don’t mean to sound rude nor unappreciative for your great public service, but to be honest here, musicians that have been self taught and never took a musical lesson have had number one records and songs that charted well, I’m a firm believer that if the band of self taught musicians are good musicians and have been together for a long time (3+ yrs), they don’t need anything that you’re teaching, their ears and emotions will create a very enjoyable song. In fact, they’re less mechanical than you textbook guys. I actually have seen guys that knew what you know but played without any feeling, they were just playing what was on the sheet music, and it was awful! Jimi Hendrix, jimmy page, Eddie Van Halen, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Ernest Isley, and many many more famous musicians didn’t even know how to read music and didn’t know any theory, but they’re in the rockin roll hall of fame!!!! Basic chords strummed to what the musician feels will determine how good the song is, not how complex with theory it is. Theory heads write good songs, but so does the self taught musicians that don’t use technology of theory.
Hope you find this useful - Let me know if you guessed any of the chord progressions!
Yes I found this super helpful, thanks, I started using space in my chords to give it groove in trance, great tips
Your chord progression examples are exceptional. They are all well known songs and really illustrate the emotion point. Thanks for your hard work!!
Thank you, and you're very welcome!
I love how you added music theory to this tutorial! Helped a lot thanks!
I knew it was freed from desire straight away 😊
Some chord progressions are easier to recognise than others 🙌🏻
You are amazing Will, i love you! thanks for everything.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂

Thank you so much, I am really glad you liked it 🙂🙏

Oops! 😬 🤦♂️
I think Dinka-Meaningful Story has one of the best chord progressions ever
You know it! 😎 Thanks for watching and supporting 🙂

We need some Big Room Techno from you Will.
Great suggestion! It's been a while :)

Haha, the magic is in the sixteenths 😂 Thanks for watching!
nice video awesome 🙌
Thank you 😁 Glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏻

Hey Chris, I think any computer with 16GB (and more) should do. I use Macbook Pro M1 64GB and it's flying :)
Thank you so much Will. Love your work. 👍🏻
Nice vid, thanks. For the next time, if you wish us to guess the tracks, hide the file name 😅
Hahhaa, good point! I will keep it in mind for my future videos 😂
Nice ❤❤❤
"From scratch"ed off your whole beard Will! 🤭
The chords were so emotional I literally CRIED it off!
Totally understand bro. Stay strong 💚💪
🎉
Thank you, I hope you enjoy it 🙂

SUS chords i guess are also "dirty chords" can add emotion.
Dirty chords 😂 Love it!

Was not keen on the inversion you done @ 3:27 to 3:30 "nice" Really! 🤢. Apart from that, SPOT on Will 🤘. Deadmau5 Kaskade is unforgettable
Fair enough, thanks for the feedback and watching the video :)

Quite esoteric indeed, but can be done 😎
Sussy Baka chords

BLUE HAMBURGERS
The best kind 😎🍔
I'm surprised the whole video isn't just "sound selection" lol
I am glad I still can surprise someone 😁
