THE Most IMPORTANT Part of Music Theory

- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- If I had to name one thing about music theory that really transformed my songwriting it would be learning and memorizing interval patterns for different modes and scales.
In this video I demonstrate why it's so important, and showcase the transcendent power of tweaking an interval or two.

I think understanding the intervals is understanding how the notes interact with each other, a very powerful tool! Great and relaxing vídeo 👏👏
I hope the constant bird call throughout the video adds a pleasant ambience to things. If not, apologies for the inconvenience!
It does add a nice ambiance!
Great video Filip! Helped jog the old memory on some music theory I’ve forgotten over the last year. Thanks!
@@AmiQ99 Thank you! I'm happy to hear it. And thanks for the early comment, I hope you're having a wonderful evening.
Interestingly, I had completely filtered them out first time round. I used to be good at filtering sound when I was young but am far too easily distracted now I'm much older.
I honestly thought there's a bird on the neighbour's roof...
Great video. At one point, I paused the video to see if the bird was outside my window or coming from your end. In retrospect, I realised the bird's Swedish accent should have been a dead giveaway.🤣🎸🤘 This truly was a great video. I'm learning guitar in my early 50s, and my UN-spongelike brain struggles with the theory side. How you put it; in a clear, entertaining, and interesting way, helped immensely.
Haha yes those Swedish birds are unmistakenly funny sounding aren't they!
Thank you. That means a lot, and it's definitely comments like these that inspire me to keep going with these kinds of videos. I try to explore and explain theory in a way that once resonated with me, as I feel so many people overcomplicate things, especially regarding the modes.
I was bout to punch the roof because I couldn't find out where the squeaking was coming from and I was trying to pay attention hahahaha
A modern metal dude teaching me about theory.... I'll take it
Thanks for giving me a chance! Hope your day is going well.
@@heitstrengningmusic Thank you. Have a great day :)
A starting chanell l hehe let's watch!
Haha what's the verdict?
Awesome Video ❤❤
@@SujilGaming55 Thank you! Have a wonderful day!
So, D-Phrygian is basically just G-Minor with D as the root note, with D as the "Home note"? Same with D-Lydian beeing just A-Major right?
Yes but in my experience it's not that useful to think of them that way when you're playing cause you lose your sense of center. When playing D Phrygian, you should be thinking of D as the center and bringing out the mode's color through its unique intervals. If you're thinking of G Minor, the shape might be familiar, but you don't know what interval is where in relation to D and you start playing mechanically. It's way more useful to think "This is just like a D Minor but with a flat 2".
Yes! That's the thing with modes. They are derived from the major scale in that sense. D Lydian would be the fourth mode of A major for example, but the crucial point is, just like you say, that D is the "home note" in that case, not A.
Personally I don't think too much about the relative major of any mode, because I find that it distracts more than it helps. But you are 100% correct.
