  • 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.

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

  • @wighty28 No problem!

  • @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

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
