Found this while randomly looking through a playlist before it even went public haha 😀 To me, Pyramid Song’s first chord progression has a very distinct Phrygian sound to it with the exception of the tonic chord being major and not minor (i think of it as borrowed from phrygian dominant), nevertheless a very phrygian sounding progression. Great video as always David!!
Haha! Good job! If there has ever been a time to write “first” on a YouTube video, this is it!
@David Bennett Piano well yeah i guess i cant miss the oportunity. First 🙂

Man these videos are so good. Like all the dense music theory videos I’ve studied brought to life. Hope someday you’ll review one of my songs on your other channel.
I like to use “murders” from hawaii part ii for the harmonic minor scale because i know that song very well but i feel like there is likeley a better example.
I like this ear training playlist! I see this is the 7th in this series, cool.
Just about any Muddy Waters song is a master class in how to get the most out of the blues scale (usually either E or A).
9:39, David, I always respected your musical theory and analysis, but including that Sims build theme made me appreciate your work even more!
It’s impossible to think about the Whole Tone Scale and don’t remember the cello line in She’s Leaving Home, by The Beatles. But maybe the cello in my photo says that my opinion isn’t quite impartial…
About the Myxolidian Mode, there’s a Brazilian example: Asa Branca, by Luiz Gonzaga. This song has a accordion line playing the Myxolidian Mode in thirds. In fact, that musical genre (baião) is largely based in that mode.
Great video David! Your videos are such a good source of theory and have taught me a lot of the stuff I now know. Like the new animations as well 🙂
George Benson’s “Breezin” is the mixolydian scale. Best example I know.
Great video. Thanks
A folk song worth mentioning in regards to the major pentatonic scale is “Camptown Races” by Stephen Foster. Its melody spends much of its time working up and down the major pentatonic scale, and it also features an arpeggio of its tonic chord at the start of its chorus.
Yesterday by The Beatles is a great example of the Melodic Minor scale.
Another excellent video, thank you, David.
A fantastic example of a descending whole tone scale in action is in Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” at 13:55. That’s one of the weirdest yet most fascinating parts David Gilmour ever played.
Love the whole tone scale. I wish it were more used in pop music.
I always think of the opening acoustic guitar riff of “Mrs Robinson” to lock into the Minor Pentatonic.
When you started playing B harmonic minor, I immediately thought of Hotel California!
The chord progression has even an E major, but there’s a straight-up A# in the melody and in the F# major chord.
Or, for example, E dorian reminds me of the last part of “Time” by Pink Floyd.
About the Myxolidian Mode, there’s a Brazilian example: Asa Branca, by Luiz Gonzaga. This song has a accordion line playing the Myxolidian Mode in thirds. In fact, that musical genre (baião) is largely based in that mode.
Background melody in the chorus of The Man Who Sold The World – is literally descending major scale
