So is this the only formula you can use to create chord progressions ? And can you sometimes break the rules and go to a chord you’re not supposed to go to next according to the formula?

Hello, can someone tell me the name of this famous tune that all kids are playing with the 1-6-2-5-1 chord progression? I am living in France and I don't know this tune. Thank you.

[crazyvaruna]

[raross6119]

[raross6119]

were do your lessons start from?would like to start from the begining

[napentjezusa]

the word key and the word scale mean the same thing

[tylus17]

Im positive this woman knows what she is talking about but what always baffled me about chord progressions was that how is it everybody follows the same chord progression like 1-6-2-5-1 for example and get different sounding results..Wouldnt everybody's music sound the same, playing the same chords in the same pattern?

[cyleriggs]

@tylus17 Take the C F G used here. There are so many G chords you could use. G Maj, G7, GMaj7, G9, G9b13....on and on and on and on, not to mention the many different inversions of all these chords. Now vary each scale degree (C..F..etc..) with similar changes and you can create a bazillion different songs and sounds from the single C Major scale. If you include the minor and other modes of the scales and use this same pattern of vary the chord type the possibilities are endless.

[tylus17]

@cyleriggs thanks for the knowledge, its all starting to make sense bit by bit

[number9711]

@cyleriggs I think you just made my head explode O_O

[TheBakor]

thank u for uploadin the vid

[TheElle88]

nvm, i get the "this chord goes to this" part.

but still do not know how she came up with 1,4,5 for C

[insazn]

@TheElle88 she "came up with" 1,4,5 using the circle of fifths

[TheElle88]

at around 7:40, she says the chords in the key of C are 1,4,5 (C,F,G)

my question is: how do you know that...??

it may seem obvious to some people but i was like "where did she come up with that?"

and what does she mean when she says "chord #2 goes to 5"

hm..do i need more musical knowledge to actually learn something from this clip?

[88res]

@TheElle88

those are the major chords in C. 1,4,5 is the most popular chord progression in music.

[MasterThief1324]

@TheElle88 If you were to build major chords using the the first, fourth, and fifth note of the C-scale (C,d,e,F,G,a,b,c) as the root and only notes from the C scale as the 3rd and 5th of each respective major chords, they would all be major chords. That is, in the C-scale, if you use C as the root, the corresponding third and fifth note needs to be "e" and "g". If you use F as root, then count up 3 use A as the third, up five and use C as fifth. In the key of C, both will be major chords.

[MasterThief1324]

@TheElle88 This is useful to know because in any one of the other 12 scales, say scale of the key of D for example, (D,e,f#,G,A,b,c#,D) if you were to use the first, fourth, and fifth notes of the scale (D,G,A), as roots and use the corresponding 3rd and 5th of the D-major scale, then each of the 3 roots and its 3rd and 5th will be major chords. In the key of D: [D,f#, a] is a D-major chord, [G,b,d] is a G-major chord, and [A,c#,D] is an A-major chord.

Thank you so much from ireland. I am learning so much from you.

[leaveblank]

I LOOOVE THIS WOMAN and the lessons!! THANK YOU! you are my first great teacher :) greetings from Romania :))

[sonydogman]

U asked how many to notes are in a scale, and u said 8 but it contains 7 tones and this is important to point out.

[sonydogman]

THANK U! I'll never forget this lesson! I 'm thinking to write u a song...Tone is a Greek word like anything els in music!

[blackhorn141]

Thank you...

[Londonsmostwantedtv]

i like what ur doing. do you have any books?

[calmclownful]

When she says that the First Chord can go anywhere, does she mean use any chord from the Major scale or use I from the Major Scale?

[mistatomsom]

@calmclownful

no, she means that since it's the basic chord, it can be followed by any other chord from the scale (II - VII). As she explains later, due to harmonic progression the chord II goes to VI etc.

It has nothing to do with major/minor.

[Anotherblackseason]

@calmclownful If you are in the key of C the C chord is the 1 chord which can go anywhere.

[aseretkavon]
