Music Theory: Key Modulation

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio explains the use of Modulation in a piece of Music. He explains the two most popular types of modulating from one key to another in a song. Direct Modulation, which occurs when a key appears suddenly. And, Pivot Chord Modulation, which will use a chord shared by both keys to allow for a seamless transition between the old to the new.

I LOVE YOUR KNOBS!

Nice vid btw

[reptaryay]

wow you actually know what your talking about and teach concepts and most importantly !EXPLAIN WHY AND WHAT! you are doing....please dont ever stop giving a solid music theory lesson while teaching even if it seems novice, it forces people to relearn or learn fundamentals of music theory, which is scarce now on guitar....

Thank you for this great lesson Andrew! I know I've seen this before and have had it explained to me before, but the more I hear and practice it the clearer it becomes.

@jesuisravi I already know this. I was looking for theoretical logical explanation relating to how I can do these Modulations.

[jesuisravi]

@kingymusic you can do ANYTHING you want to

Wonderful video, Andrew. Thank you so much. - Tom

@slashy04 In that case if the correct term is 'Modal Interchange' does that mean you don't have to borrow from parallel major/minor's? You can borrow chords from modal scales such as Lydian, Mixolydian? And obviously the same to minor modal scales?

[slashy04]

@kingymusic that's modal interchange, so yes

[kingymusic]

Is Parallel key a type of modulation as well? Like from D major to D minor or is that just borrowed chords?

dude, I feel stupid listening to you talk about Music. thanks though!
