Andrew casually writing a song in the middle of a lesson because the chord progression is great, is such an Andrew thing to do. "We'll get right back to the lesson after I show you guys this absolute banger I wrote just now"
this channel is without a doubt the most creative thing I watch on RUclips. the new space idea is quickly turning this into more of a show with educational components which is just awesome.
SUPER cool to see a chord progression video that isn't just keyboard/piano roll. music theory really sticks in your head once you hear the concepts over multiple instruments!
I've been struggling with writing new music. This didn't tell me a lot of new stuff, but it's very reassuring to hear that what I'm doing is correct and it's just a matter of finding the right chords for my song.
This is SUCH a clear explanation of how and why song chords can look so funky and have a ton of variation. Seeing you start with something basic and then add successive layers of tweaks is a really helpful example
Thank you for targeting underrated simple tips which are not the go-to generic ways to spice up chord progressions, those simple tricks are lonely and need some love; and some like Voicing start giving endlessly diverse results once you start considering layering and orchestration in general ^^
another way to spice up chord progressions is by adding on diminished inversions, its actually my favorite way to progress songs. for example, the chord progression, C - D - B7 - Em, in the key of G or E minor. What i do is i take that B7 chord and instead of dropping down to the B, I go up a half step to that D# and play D#dim7 - F#dim7 - Adim7 - Cdim7 back down to E minor, or you can do, D# - F# - A - F# - E, by voice leading the chords into the next phrase, it also creates a lot of tension and can sound really cool, i dont think i have written a piece recently that doesnt have some some sort of diminished climb. anyways use that as you will. :D
On days I'm feeling inspired I instinctively do some of this and others day I feel so stuck. It's nice to be aware of what I'm not doing. Really helpful stuff
Yo. First.. you're an excellent teacher. I love how your structured this and piece it together one bit at a time. Second... your voice is GORGEOUS in this song. So nice.
While we appreciate this RUclips channel like gold, it also hurts a bit that you are not recognized as one of the influential musicians in this generation. ( but you already are.)
I've got a lot of complicated feelings about watching monsieur Huang's videos because I've been pretty disabled the last handful of years and money is scarce, so between the two I've barely done as much music as I'd like or acquired the gear I want heh. On the flip side, his approach is so friendly and welcoming and he always makes a point of not gate-keeping music in terms of level of experience or gear or whatever while being informative and it's such a fresh reminder that anyone can do music and it has inherent value as what you want it to be or make of it, the only rule is to create.
DUDE!!!! Why are you not happy with you voice it is absolutely sick!!!! last song I bumped it up to 1.5 speed and was kind of wishing for a complete song. Love your work as they are always educational and you give me tons of inspiration for my own music.
after years of production, I've learned I do some of these subconsciously but having andrew put it into words is really insightful and solidifies what my mind kinda knows. great video for ppl trying to improve the sound of their repetitive/boring chords, wish i saw this years ago tbh
Absolutely loved the tutorial! Great song BTW, a serious emotional trip in chord progression and the vocals were definitely on point! Thank you Andrew!
I know people knock your vocals sometimes, but damn did it work really well in this song! Also, weird compliment but your eyebrow shape is really cool.
For anyone wanting a better (or at least more ergonomic) way to play that E/G#, use a C-shape Barre chord at the 4th fret. If you're new to that shape, you can practice playing an open C chord without using your Index finger and then work on moving that up the neck while barring your index.
that part at the end was really cool. choosing chords outside the key. I really wanna learn more about how you went about experimenting with that and selecting those weirder our of key chords.
If Andrew's ship is going fast enough, perhaps he can use time dilation to write a song with some out of this world time signatures. This would also be a good opportunity to do a cross over event between Andrew Huang Spacetime and Matt O'Dowd SpaceTime (PBS). #spacetime #MattODowd
Between your vids and my bud who is a complete theory nerd, I feel like I'm getting this... you open the box, he helps me sort through it more. Thanks!!
This song I need asap so I can binge it, blast it in my car, and fall asleep to it ❤ First vid of yours I watched. Subscribed so hard. That tune is epic. I haven't played my use since my Gmail died last summer. I played it for her while she rested. Youre ispiring me to go pick up my electric

A lot o good tips in this one. Playing bass I had to learn about passing note and how to step between chords early. It can be a lot of fun and add some interesting emotion to the song. Thanks for the video!! Peace.
I missed this kind of videos so much!!! Thank you Andrew, I love theory thursdays, especially when the knowledge included can also help so much in songwriting in general. :)
a great way to work around that weird e shape with the g# in the bass would be to play the g# in the 11th fret on the a string (ring finger), then bar the d, g and b string with your index finger (9th fret). you can also play the open e string in the bass, with that 10th intervall between the e and the g# thats an amazing sounding chord. you can do a hammer on from the 7th to the 9th fret on th a string as a nice embelishment. its a simple major inversion but i really like it as a different sound for a major chord.
Andrew, who is definitely in space, brings us an excellent video, which he definitely made while in space
It is amazing how he is able to use all the technology that not even nasa has
He is for sure in space 😉
So am i stupid or is he not in space currently? or is he and these are just all prerecorded?

As I was reading this Andrew just played it wth lol @9:04
the budget for whatever this channel has become just went through the roof all of a sudden
i like it
Literally through the roof, since he’s in space.
That chord progression and melody at 8:10 is really gorgeous !
i love how simplicity is such a focus in this. definitely something I struggle with
That B section was BEAUTIFUL. Really nice progression
I really love how your voice sounds in the demo
Two chords, doesn't get much plainer than that.

This space set is amazing
Awesome video, this is really helpful. Also, that space life really suits you.
When you wanted to write a song with this progression but Andrew already writes one that is instantly better.
Basically how to turn a Harry Styles song into a Radioahead song, Awesome!!
