  • @Urstruly916 , the tonic is being used. It's the Am in this case. The numbers this video assigns to the chords aren't really right. They would be if this was in C major, but it's really in Am... so the Am should be the "i" chord, It should be a i -- VI -- iv -- V.

  • Doesn't get any better than this folks!! Great lesson

  • i got a qestion :) im a new player on piano :) and im learning music theory for short time so my qestion is : if this is a A minor-so all white keys, than in one moment u using some of black keys which are out from scale,so u chaning scale and i know u can do that and that sound great but i woudl like to know,when i can do that? and to what scale shoudl i jump :) waiting for respond ! thx for all videos !! big up!

  • @p1k1m4ru The black keys he plays are F# and G#, making this A melodic minor. When going up the scale in melodic minor, the 6th and 7th are raised. When going down they revert back to the original notes.

  • Nice!!

    close video

  • this progression rocks

  • lol was just going to make the same comment as usiqueprof. There is never a G (V) chord nor a C chord (I) so there is nothing suggesting that this in the key of C. However the E major chord at the end is the dominante of A min and therefor our ear tells us that this A minor is home. I understand however, if an earlier part of a suposed tune where in C major then I would be very easy to move to this section, thus thinking of it in regards to the Key of C. Nice chords though.

  • Agreeing with helmusico - this is i - VI - iv V7 because it's clearly in A minor, not C.

  • It's i__VI___ iv __V7 progression .

    In this example, we are in Am then progression is: Am__F__Dm__E7

    It's NOT 6 4 2 3.

  • so easy but so helpfullll

  • Don't wanna go to bed mad at you!!! by Neyo! 0:34 Nothing crying for Nothing crying for Nothinggggg... LISTEN!!!

  • Great vid, ive actually been looking to expand my production a little bit and go into more jazzy and RnB type music, are there any other progressions you would recommend?

  • @PhilJFlyMusic Hi, thanks. Yeah - I've got some playlists on my channel with more grooves.

    Peace!

  • why does this still sound so good when the tonic isnt used?

  • @Urstruly916 I suppose 'cos the tonic is still in the bass.

  • @blagmusic o ok in the bassline thats playing but not showing? i think i understand

  • @Urstruly916 Cause it's the same as a Imi, 6maj, 4mi, 5maj (dominant), in the A minor key. All diatonic with the extensions from there on out. Nice vid BTW

  • @MusicTrainerDotCom Oh that's dope. That opens up a lot of doors for different things. Especially modulation. Thank You.

  • @Urstruly916 Glad I could be of help! (:o)

  • Thank you for sharing these videos, so easy to understand and a great example of how to simplify the complex.

  • @wighty28 No problem!

  • thanks , its so much more easier to make sense of it in video , really appreciate it.

    BTW is there anything out there other L studio that olk would recommend to further develop i.e i hear ableton is good but , maybe bit of learning curve.

  • If you're looking for an easy way to get going I would probably have to say "Garage Band" on the MAC. You can plug in your Midi Keyboard and get going without really having to set things up.

    Peace:)

  • Why not this?

    i min7 - vi Maj7 - iv min 7 - V7 in A min?

    Since you're using E7 which is the tell - tale dominant 7 chord in the key of A minor. That should have been a clear sign that the progression is in A min and not C major.

  • Tyrese's sweet lady song follows a similar pattern to this

  • lmao @ B. Cox making most of his beats with the m9 version of this groove..

    he milked that groove lol

  • What are the notes to the "Gospel style walk up?"

  • great
