MUSIC THEORY: Connections & Possibilities with Harmony

[1SleezyT]

Hi Andrew- can you do a video that focuses on creating vocal melodies/harmonies to a pre-established(complete) instrumental track? if that is within your vast expertise, i would really appreciate it!

Thanks for your time and efforts with the videos.

Hey Wasson, when you talk about the 12 common major and minor keys of the common chords, what keys are you referring to? If you could give just give me a simple answer or a link to one of your videos explaining the subject I would gladly appreciate it.

will you put any of these on DVD?

I'd be very interested, thanks

Thanks for the lesson Andrew!!! Your upbeat attitude is a plus in learning!!! Thanks again! Regards, Rob.

Thanks for replying, Andrew. You have really improved my understanding of this.

[TheJudplay]

Thanks Angryfication. A good add to my knowledge. I assume a Bm chord then in Key of G would be "iii", and Cm, "iv", etc. Thanks!

[Angryification]

@TheJudplay Yes, Bm in G is iii. :) I couldn't really understand that bit about Cm. Did you mean Bm in the key of Cm? For reference, it's Bb and it's VII. If you meant a Cm chord in the key of G, it's actually C major and that's IV. Glad to help. :D

11:38 I would love to play it, but wouldn't I need a 7string guitar ?

[daLyriCALychallenged]

@Kingpin0072001uk no

[Kingpin0072001uk]

@daLyriCALychallenged

Ok...... so how would I play the 7note G chord?

[daLyriCALychallenged]

@Kingpin0072001uk It's still a G chord, there are only three notes (G B D) so you only Need 3 strings

[Angryification]

@Kingpin0072001uk Yes, you would need a seven string guitar to play that certain voicing of G. Otherwise, just make your own voicing with notes of G.

[Kingpin0072001uk]

@Angryification Hehe, I know, I really wish I never posted anything in the first place now. I was just unsure if it was a typo on Mr Wassons part or if it was intentional. So I commented on it mainly to just point it out.

I know that it's a mixture of 320033 and 320003, it's either 1 or the other. I was just being awkward really. Sorry guys :P

[Angryification]

@Kingpin0072001uk That's OK. It's better to ask than not know. :P

[augie150]

ya thanks i was playing the notes while learning and reading the notes its challenging learning reading music.

[TheJudplay]

Great lesson, Andrew! I am familiar with the I - IV - V, and so on, sometimes called the "Nashville Numbering System." But I have seen lower case "i's" used to denote minor chords. Can you tell me about these lower case "i's", such as in, ii V7 progression in jazz? I like the more straightforward, "IV minor" naming that you use. Many thanks

[Angryification]

@TheJudplay Lower case roman numerals mean minor chords. So, in the key of G, that ii would be Am and that V7 would be D dominant seventh. :)

[creativeguitarstudio]

@TheJudplay

Nashville harmony numbering is done as; "2mi," etc. What you'll see me use is called, Jazz Harmony Analysis. In Jazz style, you do not make Minor Chords with lower-case roman numerals. That lower-case approach is often called Classical or sometimes "Traditional" style. Well educated musicians tend to understand all styles of harmonic analysis. So, use whichever type that you wish to apply. There is no "wrong" approach when applying one of these.

Thanks for watching,

Andrew Wasson
