Music Theory - Introduction to Intervals

[D1rtyraver]

Great stuff! Nice, clear narration and friendly style. I will be checking out all your vids.

[davidboy777]

excuse me man, may you tell me how to make it appears scale or nota with only a click, and I've heard about to do an arpegiator with only a click

[lestat77]

hey FL Studio people check this out free music theory and piano lessons. Guy treats it like a course from a teacher or something, free education or something he said, made like 80-100 online at least ten to fifteen minute lessons with content you can't like browse through and know instantly on some other video. Btw make sick beats everyone

TAGS (can't post link): Circle of fifths tutorial; How to draw a circle of fifths (circle of keys)

the above tags should work fine, let me try them. Ya doe

very helpful!!

[MegaDami3n]

nice!!

[LatemNam666]

I learnt alot:) Thanks man:D:D

[TekLok]

So basically we end up with major and minor chords here because if we tried to make them all the same we would end up breaking our intended scale right?

[isolateslowfaults]

@TekLok Yes, basically, but not completely. There are scales you can play over chord progressions that don't necessarily have all the same notes but sound great together

[TekLok]

@isolateslowfaults I understood how scales where important when it came to keeping in tune but it me awhile to really grasp how melodies are more about transition of notes and I can see how you can change scales temporarily.

[Goldbloodeddragon]

Also, you can tell this is an old video because the Axis of Awesome 4 Chords isnt' listed in the website yet.

[Goldbloodeddragon]

This honestly helped so much. I didn't even know what intervals were, and now I know how important they are! Thanks!

[SenorEuphoria]

BOomBoX/TSRh2007?

You sneaky fucker!

[GlavudzaSS]

can u give me address of site in begin of the video?

[Wowerik]

thx you very much

[marcuelcajon]

How do you turn on the helper?

[roflman79]

This feature of FL Studio looks great, with the helpers! Is there anything similar on Reason or Logic? I am on a mac.

[LifeEnderX]

Love the focus of your tutorials.

[robkim55]

@Thoorvault Yes Ace Pincter has done a good job lightening my bulb.

[robkim55]

Nice video I am learning new things every day.

[alienhunter96]

arent those called arpegios or something

[forktuning]

Thanks for this vid! To those that wanted to know about the well known trick for downloading, just google: pwn! youtube

[DjWorkshop]

Good job... And if u have a few mins to spare.. Please check out my new songs /watch?v=7qigK-7Hg5M

[5RetardedSquirrels]

Oh, using a piano roll editor does not teach you shit. You gotta be able to read a staff the actually understand what is mathmatically happening.

[WikiPeoples]

LOL YOU MAD BRO?

mad cuz people make amazing shit on FL studio and u play twinkle twinkle on the piano? LOL

[5RetardedSquirrels]

@WikiPeoples

I take it you don't understand music one bit do you? Or the effort, time, energy, and attention to detail it takes to make a composition memorable, subtle, and interesting. Anyone can strum out chords on a guitar, or plug them into a program. It takes a great deal more emotion and passion to make something great. BTW I can't play piano.

[danielkirk1]

Lmao twinkle twinkle :P

[manictiger]

That's not a very wise statement. Everything about FL helps one learn about music, from simple to advanced music theory. The problem comes with the difference between live and automated playing. I am MUCH more concise and sophisticated on FL. However, I can human-like subtlety into something as simple as a single melody far quicker on piano, there's the hands-on experience and the ability to change melodies easier. My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap, so to speak.

[5RetardedSquirrels]

@manictiger

I'm talking more about putting thought into a composition (chord choice, melody, harmony, etc.) then just plugging in some notes and using a cutting and pasting tool which is what a lot of these videos do. I don't know, i prefer composing on paper.

[manictiger]

Oh, well, I agree with that. I pick and choose from his vids for stuff that's technically or theoretically interesting (there has got to be a better way to word that sentence). However, I'm with you on the composition thing. A lot of it seems to be a bit geared for the musically uninspired, but if you take a look at which musicians make the most money, you'll see that that makes up a very large percentage of the population.

[BMXilla]

You talk as if you have something shoved in the side of your mouth...

[darkitechture]

@BMXilla You type as if you have something shoved in between your ass cheeks...

[Primeval5]

Pretty much always in a major scale (with no accidentals) I, IV, and V are major triads, and ii, iii, vi are minor triads and Vii is mo (Diminished Minor).

[lobogris707]

there's no such thing as a diminished minor, its just called diminished.

[BrianS198]

Actually, you're wrong. In every major scale (Strictly diatonic and non-modal, so essentially just Ionian) the I, IV, and V chords are major triads and ii, iii, and vi are minor triads with Vii being a diminished triad.

[11tano]

(bow)

[rickydepths1]

i love fruitloops.

[physicsmusico]

I like the helicopter reverb melody at 5:20. lol.. another great vid. thanks

[sharperguy]

Tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-t­one-semitone (major scale)

How many times have i heard this?

[LilJmusique]

mayby is sound nooby but... what is a `helper´

[dvsjaymusic]

2 months ago and no response x_x. Hey LilJ, if u've figured it out mind sharing? I guess I might go play around in there to see what I can find.

[HighwayNegative]

Just press the arrow at the top left of the piano roll window.. bring down menu there and you'll find a set of options labeled "helpers." The 3 or 4 items you see under that set are the helpers. They detect what scale you're working in and provide a guide on the piano roll grid to working in that scale.

[glebo2007]

this makes alot of sence to me! thanx

[GHOSTBLOCK16]

your are real dedicated man..

[MASTA007i]

What's an interval?

[AcePincter]

A unit of musical distance between notes of a scale.

[AddisTemari]

Get em together Ace; u whats up!!!

[famadj]

@AcePincter donde estas?, no subiste mas vídeos :(

[DJSaschAustralia]

@AcePincter textbook answer :)

[DJJezuietBeats]

It's pretty much the Fibonacci equation of music. lol

[KillaKOfK3]

you need to make a video on how to make Guitar Licks!

[matirio86]

so when he make a vid about some licks then the only thing what left is another dude who plays the licks on a guitar,in a video?! -.-why don't u watch him he told u some stuff what u basicly need 2 do ur own music?!!

the notes and scales and keys ...on guitar its not as wrong as its on piano is!

ps

>replace the flkeys with the flslayer!

angus young ive seen,kikkz azz on showin guitar licks lol

[matirio86]

to-> KillaKOfK3

[finkster101]

hi, can u say sth on the structure of chords?

i know cadences well from guitar but im new to piano, i always find that the basic c e g structure sounds too cheap, there more alternatives like e g c or g c e as well as adding bass, its confusing to me and i just cant get it to sound right. what is ur approach to this? i would be glad to hear from you....

[Usiema]

nice one Ace. You rock my toob sox.... ok no, thatwas going to far on my part. ANYWAYS, good work on the tut, taught me a bit about the randomness of music.

[warbread]

Mr. AcePincter, I like your videos a lot, so much in fact that you're the reason I bought FL Studio. So, I'm not just trying to be a doucher when I say that this video is wrong. In music theory, an interval is the distance between any two notes, not the chord's number in a harmonized series. The major chord, for instance, has the intervals of a major third (in between the first and second note) and a minor third (in between the middle and last). I wish I could say more, but I'm out of spac

[BenjaminConstruct]

your acepincter series is 100% marketable!!! think about it......FL and acepincter....i can hear the money !!!

[ironbridgeboy]

u may not now but u could change those numbers in to chords. Like A# or such by pressing somthing in the piano pannel. i cant remember how thoes il get back 2 us to tell u.

[Gameboygenius]

Two comments:

1) There is such a thing a B#, it's simply a C.

2) You should've played through the whole scale of intervals that you drew.

A good lesson.

[AcePincter]

Can you explain what you would have liked to see/hear with regards to #2?

[jsteen04]

Thanks again dude!!! Could key click combination you use to get the slice tools in the piano roll.

[AcePincter]

slice tool you use by holding shift and clicking on empty space. Then drag!

[jsteen04]

that isn't working for me. I'm referring to the knife thing. so i can cut notes in the piano roll.

[AcePincter]

So am I. If you're using FL7, the shortcut is (while using the pencil or brush) to hold SHIFT and click where there is no note (if you click on the note, the function becomes a copy). When you hold down the mouse button on empty space while holding SHIFT, you'll see the cursor change to the slicer tool. Then, simply drag the cursor to the note.

[jsteen04]

oh i'm in FL 8. It works in FL 7. where did you find these commands? Is it in the help file? I went through it and I could find them, maybe I'm blind tho. LOL

[AcePincter]

Accident!

[MaikUniversum]

Hated music theory in school, but now it becomes pretty interesting, hahaha ;D

[ElAlexxis]

Ace! thaaaaaaaankyou!! :) (more info on this area when you have the time pls)

[flyhye]

thanks

[astralrock]

Thank you very much!

This is great. :)

[mrpeeman]

anoother great tutorial thanks =]

[Liquidbasss]

thanks mate... intersting!

[yauluhim]

As usual, greqat tut ace :) what i'd like to ask is can i change the interval? say instead of I IV I V I i'd input I V IV I I?

[AcePincter]

You can do whatever you like! Styles of music are typically defined by their chord progressions, so you might end up with something that sounds eastern (western music typically doesn't move from the V to IV) or alien. If it sounds good, use it! Some common Chord pro:

I-iii-IV-V rock ; ii-V-I jazz ; I-VI7-II7-V7 ragtime
