  1. It only scary if you don’t understand it, knowledge is the power to understand.

    Arps in electronic music reminds me of geometry.

    1. Fully agree. It’s your best friend once you get a hand on it. It makes playing, memorizing and improvising much easier by giving a different understanding to a song.

  2. 1. šŸŽ¶there’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold and she’s buying…
    2. yes, I stopped to read it.

  3. Merci for the theory talk. There is a band you might have heard of called the Beatles and everyone says they didn’t have musical training. But Paul McCartney was the son of a jazz musician and sang in a church choir. In Napoli they used to train orphans to become maestros and they would start them off with singing. So Paul had a musical upbringing, way more than I did.

    1. I don’t think David has heard of the Beatles before, because he’s never mentioned them!

    2. @@lljf i know, its honestly surprising that he talks about so many artists in his videos and always leaves the beatles out šŸ™

    3. I thinks its a lot like learning another language. So if you’re around it a lot as a kid, you absorb a lot of information probably even subconsciously. That and I think the biggest thing is that even though they weren’t really formally schooled, they learned and played an insane amount of songs by other artists (Get Back just shows how god damn many songs they knew and could play) so they learned a lot by that as well.

    4. Yes, it was Paul’s upbringing, as an orphan in Naples, that allowed him to get really creative singing all those negative harmony chords for Radiohead.

  4. I think that a big clue to your mysterious age will be discovering whether you were named after the piano or whether it was named after you.

  5. Please may you do a harmonic analysis on Todd Rundgren, preferably his back catalogue? He is an absolute MASTER of harmony and melody and yet almost no one on YouTube dares to dissect his work

  6. I owe so much of my music theory knowledge to you, David. I’d not be where I am today without your videos.

  7. Yep I was a bit scared of it too, but making music is so much fun, watching videos and following along on the keyboard or in Garageband it started to make sense ! That first epic, big fat chunky chord is enough to make you keep going!

  8. I really enjoyed this one,thanks hugely šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ And that Iceberg video from the summer before the last was outstanding, gonna watch it again!

  9. Learning music theory is a must. it makes music so much easier when you learn it. In my humble opinion.

  10. I think a smattering of theory is useful…knowing about interval relationships will make understanding scales, chords, modes and transposing to different keys so much easier, for example.

  11. Might be interesting to do another video on voice leading, perhaps including You Won’t See Me, which has a sequence of chords where one of the voices stays the same and another voice goes down by semitones for several chords in a row, and it still works.

  12. Regarding the question of music theory being related to mathematics, when I was in university I attended a seminar given by a math professor who also was the concert master of the university orchestra. It was brilliant. Pitches were a modulo 12 group and I think most of the rest was function spaces over it.
