Egads. ToneGym uses a pitch on every answer–no thanks! Not sure how that wouldn’t be an obvious problem to a company providing ear training tools.
@@rockstarjazzcat Uses a pitch…??
0 BS on this. I get to know it for you, use the free version for almost a year (which have intervals, chord progression and one more that I cannot remember now). Use it every day, stick with it and made amazing progress. Now I have for an year the pay version and use it every day. What did for me (not only the app but being constant every day) was AMAZING. I never be most sharp on music and keep growing every day.
Thank you very much David, is really a one of a kind channel. Best regards from Argentina!
Can you do something similar with zep?
Fantastic! This should be included in any music education curriculum haha. Here’s some more intervals that I would love to see in a sequel video:
In Major keys:
bII: Do You Want To Know A Secret, Things We Said Today
Vm: Strawberry Fields
VI: Strawberry Fields
bVI: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
VIIm: Yesterday
VII: Sexy Sadie, I’m So Tired
In Minor keys:
I: I Am The Walrus (borrowed major tonic in minor key)
IIdim: You Never Give Me Your Money (half diminished instead)
bII: I’m Only Sleeping
VIm: Come Together, Penny Lane
bVIIm: Glass Onion
Thank you so much.
Well reasoned list. Thnx
Happiness is a new David Bennett Beatles posting. A brilliant concept and takes my love of Beatles music to a whole new level of understanding.
I think it would be helpful to have a “different levels of ear training” video or something similar. A lot of times it’s easy to hear chords played on a piano with all the intervals clearly audible, but in some songs, different instruments are playing different notes of the chord or the tones can get quite muddy. Going through that from easy to difficult would be interesting
The thing about “For No One” is that at the very end, it DOESN’T resolve. If you listen to the first times Paul sings “…cried for no one, a love that should have lasted years”, you’ll hear (what I now know to be) the G sus 4 and G but then you hear another chord which leads into the next line he sings. But the last time, you hear the G sus 4, the G, and then…fadeout. Which, given the words and the overall “feel” of the song, is a great effect. But it still seems like it’s left hanging. Which might very well have been the idea…
And THIS folks, is why the Beatles were the best group ever. Period.
You put on ANY Beatles album, and you’ve got a lesson in the greatest music ever made.
I don’t listen to a lot of Beatles but this is definitely an inspiration! I also think it would be a cool idea to do a video on chromatic scales in pop music. I mainly listen to classical and not pop. The only pop song I know which uses a chromatic scale is the bridge of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off š
Great video. Thanks David. Can you go over the altered and rare chords the Beatles use. Like the 9thchord in Getting Better, flat 9 in I Want You, the Hendrix chord in Taxman, and the Hard Days Night opening chord? Im sure im forgetting others but you get the idea. Greetings from Chicago!
That would be a good part 2… even if there aren’t as many examples as in this video
This is so great. Thanks for this amazing video! Learned so much from it! ā¤
Man you are simply fantastic. I love how you appreciate actual MUSIC instead of simply technical ability like most Youtubers involved in music, simply by your taste in artists: the Beatles and Radiohead, for example
This is great! Really brings home how they were NOT a 3-chord group, even from the start.
Very inspiring video David. This gives me motivation to write music, with more understanding.
When I started to play the guitar 10 years ago, almost all of what I listened to and practiced along (nearly on a daily basis) were Beatles songs – they truly are excellent musical material ^^!
Ow! One of the best videos of music theory in YouTube!
Others “Beatles’ chords” that I remember:
The Eadd9 in the Paul’s part of “A Day in the Life”,
The E7b9 in “I Want You”
III7 in “All You Need is Love”
G#/A# in “The Long and Winding Road”
Anything Beatles related and I’m all in. Great job explaining all the chord variations….
Amazing video that you obviously put effort into. I learned more music theory from you than in the class I took at school for it.
Really like the coverage of the non-diatonic chords; II, bIII, III (not covered today), bVI, bVII. Another good Beatles song for bVI is P.S. I Love You.
Thank you kindly David! Ive been on this music theory journey for years and your videos have added such fun structure to my learning. Blessings!
I’ve seen a lot of Pink Floyd examples in your videos, they produced fantastic music and I’m also a big fan. So my suggestion for next training is Pink Floyd! š¤©
Yes David please do it with every band !!! that is so usefull
Thanks a lot for everything you do š love your videos
