Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. Today, I'm going to tell you how three plus three equals five. You probably clicked on this because you thought it was either a mistake or that I'd lost my mind. Well, believe it or not, it's neither of those things! I'm going to show you how three plus three equals five in certain circumstances.
More like (3-1)+(3-1)=(5-1).
Associate an nth to n-1 rather than n, then you can apply regular addition.
The same principle applies to octaves...one octave is 8 notes, but two octaves are 15 notes (not 16) because the octave note is shared and not repeated! It drives music engravers nuts because they want to put 16va instead of 15ma to play two octaves higher (although some editions do use the former, but it's a mistake).
Yeah, “octave” is an unfortunate misnomer too, since it only spans seven note names and six whole tones. Basic arithmetic does not apply to music nomenclature!
@@barrylunch I did not know what to say... nor which way to look...
By extension (or diminution!) a diminished seventh chord computes as 3+ 3+3=6 !!
I understood the math as soon as I saw the title
I didn't think either one of those things, actually. Instead, when I saw the title, I thought about how three plus three usually equals six, so if you were claiming it equals five, then some kind of... for want of a better word, "shenanigans" must be going on. You piqued my interest, so I clicked to satisfy it. 🤣
Funny, i never thought about that.
That is officially classified as a clickbait title. But it worked. And I knew the answer.
But I did see a symbol on the Fa Clef that I didn't know about. There was the time signature, and then there was a bracket that looked like an Elongated backward C. And it looked like there were two points on it, like the Fa or Sol symbols, and I think they were centered on the Ré line. Any ideas?
You might be referring to the bass clef (F clef) which has two dots on the second to top line which is F below middle C. Lower instruments, as well as the left hand of the piano, are typically written in the bass clef.
Another way of thinking of it is that it’s because a unison is counted as one rather than zero.
Hypothetically , if we counted a unison (eg C-C) as 0, then C-D would be 1, C-E=2, C-F=3, C-G=4. Also under this hypothetical counting system E-G=2. Then C-E(2) + E-G (2) =4.
Now, I'll stop thinking about this and dwell on the beauty of diminished 7th chords instead!
Actually, I should probably go and practice! 🤷♂️
😅
2 mistakes:
1 chords are not always built in thirds
2 the intervals must have always the reference of the root, so it is not correct to say that the 5th is a third note away from the 3M because it would emply that the 3M is now a root.
Probably could’ve explained it better but I believe he’s talking “general” standard use of chords here
@@AtomizedSound you are wrong. the youtuber is wrong too. i am the only person in the entire world who counted all the chords and scales, i invented the law of harmony, so 29 years ago i turned the music theories into obsolete.
one of the many wrong things the obsolete music theory teachers ( including Robert Estrin) is the myth that chords must be built in thirds.
and your position accepting this fact like "the rest of chords are advanced exceptions" is terribly wrong. you either do or do not know all the possible chords and you either have or don' t have the technology to calculate all the possible chords for each of the possible scales.
but i can give you a tip of the iceberg tip as a present. when you have the c major scale, you do can play any random white notes and it does sound correct. EVERYBODY has this experience. but most musicians don't sit down with paper and bic pen and do the mathematics as to count that you do can make, and here's one secret i should not write on internet, you can make 35 chords of 3 notes. from (doremi) to (sol la si) and everything in between. many of them are not "built in thirds" in example GAB which equals the intervals (x, 2M,3m) is not "thirds".
And the very common explanation that"that is athird minor chord without the fifth and with another note" is so terribly wrong like claiming that all foods in the world are variations of garlic, all colours are slightly variations of pink, or that all human races are variations of chinese.
no way. each chord is individual entity.
we live in amusic society where we sufferedmusic made almost exclusively with the 2chords major and minor, and call it the day, instead of properly learning the entire list of chords, same asa poet learns the entire list of words in the dictionary ( and of course the alphabet) and a chemistry learns the periodic table list of elements. otherwise they are impostors.
the tonality doesn't matter, the thousands types of octave vsriation are also irrelevant, or the intrincate shapes of instruments. you either can offer me those 35 chords when we are in c major or you not. if in c major you are only giving me a palette of 7 chords, you are missing 28. that's it.
and 35 other chords if 4 notes used.
can you provide me those seventy things of variety? no? so give the students their money back.
@@AtomizedSound i am waiting confirmation that you read my previous message
