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!
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 ^^
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.)
Absolutely loved the tutorial! Great song BTW, a serious emotional trip in chord progression and the vocals were definitely on point! Thank you Andrew!
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.
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!!
Hey Andrew - great ideas. I once worked with a guitarist backing cabaret singers and he used extended chords virtually all the time. The problem was, he played so many notes that one of them was bound to fit the chord structure :-) and the progression often lost its definition. It tended to turn everything into a saccharin Radio 2 (for UK listeners) version of the song :-)
Andrew would have known he's putting this out on April Fool's Therefore, he missed his window to say it was all a joke and now can never admit the truth until next April He'll be stuck in space for a year
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
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.
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.
With that song, add some heavy downtuned single-note fuzz guitar riffs, orchestral strings section and ascending-descending piano arpeggios... Voila, you get a MUSE song
The last addition made the whole song much more Radiohead, which is always a good thing in my book! You've done a stellar job with this, man (no pun intended lol).
When borrowing chords from outside a key use parallel modes. That implies a plagal cadence and is a really easy way to experiment without having to think too much about it.

Andrew announced that he was going to have a baby and then went to space. I never imagined he would be a deadbeat dad :'(
But one day we'll have the documentary where the baby grows up to be an astronaut to find an absentee father.. Like interstellar in reverse.

That B section was BEAUTIFUL. Really nice progression

That chord progression and melody at 8:10 is really gorgeous !
That chord progression that starts at around 2:20 is so Young the Giant-ish and I absolutely adore that
Really love all of the space editing stuff, it’s so cool, also a lot of people still think it’s real lol
I don't think anyone does. Lol
Maybe before he "went" to "space". But now it's so over the top.
@@illestvillain1971 I did ;-;

Lolll this is a very expensive April Fools joke, well played ❤
EDIT: also, your music is fire as always
This could be his new studio
@@theoracle7463 true, but I prefer to think he invested thousands of dollars and many hours of labour into one joke
When you wanted to write a song with this progression but Andrew already writes one that is instantly better.

Dude, your voice was so good in that song holy shit 🤯
"ask your bass player to do it" is going to be my answer for everything from now on
4:15 I love the sound of moving tenths like that!

Dude that bit at end sounds awesome
RUclipsrs: make a tutorial
Andrew: makes a baller tutorial, adds lyrics to his examples, arranges, records and mixes a great song.
In space
all these space videos are totally awesome
You ROCK Bro! Love you analytical and organic approach to songwriting/composition! Also, I can definitely see you in SPACE SOMEDAY! Thanks 🙏 G
I totally heard that c#m before you suggested it to play between a and b, pat on the back for me
Between Andrew and Rick Beato, I feel like I'm getting a world class education in music here on RUclips. Super grateful for all your work! 🙏
that last bit sounded incredible
Love the space vids. Love when youtubers spice stuff up like this.
That simple chord progression has been stuck in my head now. Played it myself, recorded and sounds so good. Thanks Andrew
god those drums are CLEAN
Basically how to turn a Harry Styles song into a Radioahead song, Awesome!!

How the hell is his spacecraft or space station matching the color scheme and theme of his personal studio back home? haha. Oh my. Such awesomeness.

You're the best Andrew!
its cool how you went to space to teach all this music theory. nobody else has shown that kind of commitment! good luck w the food :)

thank you, I love videos that explore composition posibbilities in an easy to digest way
A couple years ago this video wouldve completely confused me but I’m taking a music theory course right now and this stuff makes sense🤩 great video!
These are actially great tips.
This is *Super* useful. Thanks Andrew!
studio tour please!!!
Legitimately the best music RUclips
jesus dude your skin is smoother than the futuristic set! not sure which i'm most impressed by haha
Ima need you to finish both those songs...
I was hoping that you were going to eventually end with a grande finale of the chords to "Never gonna give you up". This is cool too.
thanks man!
last part is so nice
Thanks Andrew for this video!

I actually use this adjective a lot, probably a bit too much.
When borrowing chords from outside a key use parallel modes. That implies a plagal cadence and is a really easy way to experiment without having to think too much about it.
What are parallel modes?
