#30 Basic Harmony Rules: Music Theory Harmony 101

~~~~ I'm well aware that people say they cannot hear this lesson, I made a mistake with my volume on my mic by forgetting to reset the volume for voice instead of piano. There's nothing I can do to correct it now. So you might have to skip this video, but I myself can hear the video perfectly with my speakers at 20% I think if you crank your speakers most people should be able to hear it.~~~

No more comments about not being able to hear the sound, thanks.

In this lesson I explain basic harmony rules. Keep in mind, Harmony seems to have a steep learning curve but once you're over the hump it's not TOO bad. This stuff could feel pretty advanced if you haven't been involved in music for longer than a year. Either way, now is as good a time as any to start to learn if you've seen all my other previous lessons. Music Harmony can be fun! Just try it, harmony is very useful and well worth time investment if you want to compose your own music.

It's a good thing he made a video for the hearing impaired.

It's about time someone focuses on the greediness of those who can hear.

@globe199 hahaha! that's the best comment so far about this video not having proper volume.

11:05 - 11:50 My humble opinion is that you have understood the "world" of music theory and music in general,perfectly.And i don't say that for your theoretical knowledge but for your general perception about music.After so many years,I've come to the same conclusion...There are no rules.

@ImAzzee Never mind, I see what has happened there. The third is doubled, the third being a D. Thinking about this has caused a light bulb moment on inversions! :D

[ImAzzee]

I'm confused about something. Towards the end when talking about what notes to double, you say in a vii chord to ALWAYS double the third. I don't think I see a doubled third in the vii chord you have in second place there on the board. I'm thinking that the F should be doubled? Is there another reason why you have the D note doubled? Thank you.

All I'm saying is closed captioning adds a whole new dimension to your videos, especially this one!

[amplifiedbible07]

Great lesson. Are there any good harmony books and well as music theory books that you know of ?

[MasterThief1324]

Hello. What books would you recommend for learning harmony? I really want something that is comprehensive and as complete as possible (what one can expect from a collegiate course on harmony).

[autumnreign86]

Incredibly informative, thanks

[izefreeze]

You should do a tutorial on how you did that to your hair.

@oxoflavourcrisp I bet you're as stupid and shallow as the comment you've just posted.
