Music Theory Basics in 30 Minutes

[00:00] start streaming

[00:04] what's up everyone

[00:05] man i haven't done a live stream here in

[00:07] front of the whiteboard in

[00:09] about six months or so

[00:12] i kind of uh

[00:14] thought okay i've done a lot of

[00:16] whiteboards i'm going to take a break

[00:18] and there's probably

[00:22] a couple i don't know 100 and something

[00:23] 200 000 new people since i last did a

[00:27] uh one of these presentations maybe 300

[00:29] 000 new new people

[00:31] so welcome to all you new subscribers

[00:33] and people following the channel

[00:35] um

[00:36] i'm going to bring out because i'm going

[00:38] to talk about a simpler way i've thought

[00:40] a lot about this lately about a simpler

[00:43] way to teach theory because i always

[00:44] talk about things that you don't

[00:46] necessarily

[00:48] use

[00:50] in the

[00:51] basic

[00:52] music theory analysis that you need to

[00:54] know this is stuff that you really need

[00:56] to know i'm not going to talk about

[00:58] augmented or diminished chords maybe

[00:59] just for a second but

[01:01] uh but i have a sale for today

[01:04] which really

[01:05] this is all connected with and it's my

[01:07] biato book bundle that the last time we

[01:09] sold it was about five months ago uh for

[01:12] black friday uh back in november

[01:15] if you go to beautobundle.com

[01:18] all of my educational products my piano

[01:20] book

[01:22] uh bundle my ear training program my

[01:26] i'll just tell you what each has the

[01:28] biato ear training has 80 video lessons

[01:31] hundreds of interactive training modules

[01:33] that you can use to practice in your

[01:35] browser and a 27-page booklet i never

[01:38] tell people this stuff here this is

[01:39] what's in them the biato book 4.0 is a

[01:42] 500 page music theory book which i wrote

[01:45] 20 years ago but i've revised four times

[01:48] uh the pdf this uh the bundle is

[01:51] actually 700 pages right then there's a

[01:53] quick lessons

[01:55] pro guitar course which is a five hour

[01:57] video course where i break down my quick

[01:59] lessons

[02:00] that i do on instagram and now i'm

[02:01] putting on shorts so if you go to to my

[02:04] shorts that i've done

[02:06] some of these are uh actually on there i

[02:09] haven't put out that many shorts but

[02:10] some of the quick lessons are in there

[02:12] if i say quick lessons you hear that

[02:14] five hours of video content midi

[02:16] notation or music going to indicate

[02:18] musical notation guitar and tab

[02:21] pdfs and guitar profiles for those and

[02:23] then 90

[02:25] transcription pdfs

[02:27] that go with that too so these are part

[02:29] of that of the biato book bundle too

[02:31] these 90 pdfs there's four separate

[02:33] things that are part of this bundles for

[02:35] 99 bucks

[02:36] which is

[02:37] the best discount that you'll get so if

[02:40] you want to if you're on the fence about

[02:42] getting something this is the time to

[02:43] get it that's my ad

[02:45] for the uh for the live stream here

[02:47] now

[02:48] the um

[02:51] so i was thinking about this what is

[02:52] really the easiest way to teach people

[02:54] about music theory without starting with

[02:57] a circle of fifths because you guys know

[02:58] i always start with the circle of fifths

[03:00] so i thought

[03:02] how do you teach just basic major and

[03:04] minor chords to start we're going to

[03:05] talk about those about inversions and

[03:07] things like that and i thought okay

[03:09] what are the three

[03:11] chords

[03:12] try major triads that have no sharps or

[03:15] flats well they happen to be the ones

[03:16] from the key of c that's c major

[03:20] f major

[03:21] and g major right they have zero sharps

[03:23] or flats

[03:25] c major is the notes c e g

[03:29] f major are the notes f a c c no sharps

[03:34] or flats

[03:35] and then g major

[03:36] is g b

[03:39] d okay

[03:40] these are all

[03:41] white notes here so you get c major

[03:44] right you've got f major

[03:47] and you have g major you notice they are

[03:50] three note chords

[03:53] all white notes

[03:54] then it's like okay well what are the

[03:56] chords that have one

[03:58] sharp

[03:59] well

[04:01] anybody know okay it's actually it takes

[04:03] way too long to do this if i said does

[04:05] anyone know

[04:06] d major

[04:08] a major

[04:10] e major

[04:11] these each have one sharp d major has

[04:14] the notes d f sharp a

[04:18] a major

[04:19] a c sharp e

[04:22] and e major has e

[04:24] g sharp

[04:26] b what do you notice about these

[04:29] the sharp note is in the middle of the

[04:31] chord it's the third of each of these

[04:33] chords right so here's d major billy

[04:34] everybody can hear everything

[04:37] d major d f sharp a

[04:39] a major a c e

[04:42] and e major is e

[04:44] g sharp

[04:45] b

[04:46] okay

[04:48] um so those all have one sharp well are

[04:50] there chords with two sharps yes b major

[04:53] that triad

[04:55] has

[04:57] so this is

[04:58] zero sharps or flats this is one sharp

[05:02] and b major has the notes b

[05:04] d sharp

[05:06] f sharp

[05:07] okay

[05:08] this one has two sharps

[05:11] all right b major would be this

[05:13] here's the two sharps right d sharp and

[05:16] f sharp

[05:18] okay

[05:19] i think this is actually pretty easy to

[05:20] memorize to be honest with you if you

[05:22] think about this right c f g d a e b

[05:27] and then we have f sharp major

[05:30] that has three sharps f sharp

[05:33] a sharp

[05:35] c sharp

[05:36] so it's gonna be all black keys right so

[05:38] that's three sharps

[05:42] f sharp a sharp c

[05:44] right there you guys can see that right

[05:47] so you have your three

[05:48] chords

[05:50] with no sharps or flats they're all

[05:51] white notes then you have your three

[05:53] chords

[05:54] that have only a

[05:56] one sharp which is in the middle of the

[05:58] chord so it'd be d

[06:00] a

[06:01] e

[06:02] then you have your chord that has two

[06:04] sharps b major

[06:06] and chord with three sharps

[06:08] f sharp major okay let's talk about

[06:10] chords with flats

[06:11] so

[06:13] um

[06:14] there's

[06:15] a b flat major

[06:20] this has two flats so b flat

[06:23] i'm this i'm sorry this is one flat b

[06:25] flat d f okay so this is one flat

[06:31] we only have one chord that has one flat

[06:33] in it okay so then we go to e flat

[06:37] a flat

[06:39] d flat each of these have

[06:43] two flats okay it's kind of like this

[06:46] right

[06:49] if you look at it

[06:51] it's actually the same letters right you

[06:54] get d

[06:55] a e

[06:56] flat

[06:57] you have d a e just in reverse so it's

[07:00] easy to remember okay so this one is

[07:04] e flat g

[07:06] b flat what do you notice here on this

[07:09] one the natural is in the middle right

[07:11] instead of the sharp

[07:13] and the a flat is

[07:15] a flat c e flat once again

[07:18] the white note's in the middle

[07:20] natural note

[07:21] and then d flat major is

[07:24] d flat f

[07:25] a flat same thing

[07:27] natural note is in the middle okay

[07:31] then it's like okay well what else do we

[07:32] have here do we have uh is there any

[07:34] other ones well you could say

[07:37] let me put this in here

[07:39] that's one flat this is two flats

[07:42] and then there is one with three flats g

[07:44] flat which is the same as f sharp

[07:47] okay s has uh

[07:49] just enharmonically different

[07:51] g flat

[07:52] b flat d flat that has three flats

[07:56] okay so that would be this same as f

[07:58] major they just have different names

[08:00] instead of f sharp b a sharp c sharp you

[08:03] have g flat b flat

[08:05] d flat these are and harmonically the

[08:08] same

[08:09] now somebody that's playing a different

[08:11] instrument other than piano say no they

[08:12] sound different

[08:14] g flat's lower than f sharp well that

[08:17] may be the case but on the piano right

[08:19] now that's not the case

[08:21] okay so these

[08:23] are how you memorize your major triads

[08:26] you memorize them in groups you just

[08:27] write them down

[08:29] cfg boom d-a-e boom

[08:33] b

[08:34] f-sharp okay and you just memorize what

[08:36] these sharps and flats are once you know

[08:38] the notes that are in these chords

[08:41] to get to the minor chords it's very

[08:43] simple okay

[08:45] all you do

[08:47] to make these chords minor any of these

[08:49] chords every one of these chords

[08:52] right is you lower

[08:55] the middle note by a half step okay

[08:59] so c minor

[09:01] would be this

[09:02] e flat c minor

[09:05] f minor make that an a flat g minor put

[09:08] the b to b flat that's g minor the minus

[09:10] means minor okay

[09:12] i'll show you so here's c major

[09:15] if i lower the middle note a half step

[09:17] to e flat that's c minor here's f major

[09:21] i'm going to lower the middle note

[09:24] to

[09:25] a flat

[09:26] that's f minor and then g major g minor

[09:29] lower the middle note

[09:31] same thing here

[09:32] except when you have a sharp you just

[09:34] remove the sharp make it a natural so

[09:36] these

[09:38] are now going to be all minor

[09:39] okay so it's going to be d minor a minor

[09:42] e minor

[09:43] this one

[09:44] b minor is going to be with just a d

[09:47] and f sharp minor the a a sharp goes to

[09:50] a

[09:52] same thing as with the flats

[09:54] so to make these uh minor d flat goes to

[09:58] b uh d goes to

[10:00] d flat here's b flat major

[10:03] b flat minor

[10:07] major minor okay

[10:09] same thing here with these

[10:11] g flat c flat f flat and those give you

[10:14] the minor chords of those right

[10:16] same thing with this

[10:18] but we're not going to talk about g flat

[10:20] we don't need to know about g flat it

[10:22] makes it too confusing okay

[10:25] these are how you memorize all the major

[10:27] and minor chords

[10:30] seems pretty simple right it's just a

[10:31] little memorization it's actually easier

[10:33] than learning the circle of fifths

[10:35] but

[10:37] um

[10:39] if you get my biato bundle here with my

[10:42] ear training course with my biato book

[10:45] with my quick lessons pro guitar course

[10:47] and with my pdf bundle

[10:50] for the price of less than my ear

[10:52] training course if you're going to do it

[10:54] now this is the time to do it

[10:56] this will teach you all of this stuff

[10:59] plus

[11:00] way more okay

[11:02] but i'll teach you

[11:04] how to memorize this stuff

[11:06] okay

[11:07] now i want to talk about inversions

[11:09] because if you're going to figure out

[11:11] songs by ear first of all you have to be

[11:13] able to hear whether a chord is major or

[11:15] minor

[11:16] uh and that takes some ear training okay

[11:19] that's c major

[11:22] this is g minor

[11:24] f major

[11:28] then c major

[11:30] oh

[11:31] what is this

[11:33] it's called an inversion i have e c

[11:36] i'm sorry e g c

[11:39] that is a first inversion c major chord

[11:41] so inversions work like this

[11:44] 11 versions and versions make your voice

[11:47] leading and

[11:48] make music way more interesting

[11:50] inversions are are

[11:52] one of the most important things to be

[11:55] able to hear and understand okay if you

[11:57] have a c major chord

[12:00] in root position c e g

[12:03] in first inversion which would be c over

[12:06] e meaning c with an e in the bass

[12:09] then it's

[12:10] e

[12:12] g c

[12:15] or it could be either it could be e c g

[12:19] as well

[12:20] right these actually don't have root

[12:22] position just means that that it's um

[12:25] that the things are consecutive like

[12:26] that and this is the best way to

[12:28] practice hearing inversions right is to

[12:29] do them this way

[12:30] next way is c with a g in the bass so

[12:33] that would be g c e okay easier to

[12:37] actually see it on the keyboard

[12:39] root position c e g now if i take the c

[12:42] note move it up the octave

[12:44] start with the middle note the third c g

[12:47] c uh i'm sorry e g c

[12:50] that is a first inversion major chord

[12:52] and then g

[12:54] c

[12:55] e is the second version

[12:56] [Music]

[12:58] and those keep repeating right doesn't

[13:00] matter what order you blame it

[13:05] they all are c major

[13:10] any order that i play those notes in

[13:14] right if if c is in the bass

[13:16] it's a root position

[13:18] chord

[13:25] doesn't matter if i'm playing inversions

[13:26] in the right hand as long as i have c in

[13:28] the bass

[13:30] it's in root position but if i moved e

[13:32] in the bass

[13:35] first inversion if i put g in the bass

[13:39] then it's a second inversion major chord

[13:41] okay

[13:43] same thing goes with minor chords you do

[13:44] the same same thing if i make if i make

[13:47] this a minor what i do i make this

[13:49] e flat move it down becomes c minor

[13:52] same thing here though i got to make

[13:53] this e flat

[13:55] so it's going to be c over e flat

[13:57] and then c minor over e flat and this c

[13:59] minor over g so i take this e flat and

[14:01] do this right so

[14:04] here it is

[14:05] root position c e flat g then e flat g c

[14:09] first inversion and then g c

[14:12] e

[14:13] flat um

[14:16] why are inversions good inversions are

[14:19] good

[14:20] if you have songs like um

[14:34] like um

[14:35] i was going to play a song that would

[14:36] demonetize me and i kind of stopped

[14:38] myself from

[14:45] so this is c major

[14:48] g

[14:49] in first inversion g with a b in the

[14:51] bass

[14:52] root position b flat major

[14:55] then

[14:56] f major in first inversion

[14:59] then i could go down to a flat

[15:03] and i could get down g minor and c

[15:07] okay i actually played g minor seven

[15:08] there

[15:09] um so those inversions are really cool

[15:12] because instead of i could go

[15:14] g

[15:16] i'm sorry c

[15:18] then down to g

[15:21] like that my base motion going like that

[15:23] but it's

[15:24] if i go

[15:27] knows the bass line is going

[15:32] it just gives it a more interesting

[15:34] sound inversions make your music more

[15:37] interesting okay and you want to be able

[15:39] to hear those things this is why in my

[15:41] ear training course i have a whole thing

[15:44] on inversions

[15:47] you got to be able to recognize all

[15:48] types of triads including diminishing

[15:50] augmented

[15:53] you have to be able to recognize all of

[15:55] their inversions but you also have to

[15:56] recognize other chords diminished and

[15:58] augmented chords

[16:00] and suspended chords suspended chords

[16:03] are really common in pop music they're

[16:05] in every song from the beatles to uh any

[16:08] contemporary thing like

[16:10] uh

[16:11] charlie puth

[16:12] it doesn't matter

[16:14] everybody uses suspended chords right

[16:16] sus chords as we call them

[16:17] so um

[16:19] if i take a c

[16:21] c sus4

[16:24] or c sus2

[16:27] c sus4 is you take the middle note so

[16:29] here would be a regular c major

[16:32] so one three five

[16:34] and you make that middle note the fourth

[16:37] note of the scale

[16:39] c f g so it's one four five right of the

[16:42] chord so here's c e g

[16:44] a c major this is

[16:46] c sus4

[16:49] it's called the suspended four because

[16:51] it

[16:52] in classical music wants to resolve down

[16:55] the sus two is you take the middle note

[16:57] so c e g here's a c major triad take

[17:00] that middle note move it down to the

[17:02] next scale degree which is d

[17:04] and you have one two five

[17:07] that's a sus two so here's c major

[17:10] and i move the middle note down a step

[17:13] to the next scale degree down which is

[17:15] the note d so that's c sus two

[17:18] now obviously these

[17:21] have inversions

[17:26] right those seven versus well one of the

[17:28] inversions of c sub two

[17:33] is actually g sus4 they're related

[17:36] that's g sus4

[17:38] g major

[17:41] g minor

[17:42] okay these sus chords are are very

[17:44] important to know because they're really

[17:47] common in music that you would

[17:50] be learning okay

[17:52] the next thing to do to understand

[17:55] are

[17:56] seventh chords okay so seventh chords uh

[18:00] if you take a c triad c major

[18:06] if i add so i've got one

[18:09] three five these notes refer to the

[18:11] notes of the of the major scale one

[18:15] three

[18:16] five

[18:18] right so the first note of the scale

[18:20] second the third note of the scale fifth

[18:22] note of the major scale this is c major

[18:24] scale i'm playing

[18:28] um that's a c major scale all white

[18:30] notes

[18:31] take the root the first note of the

[18:32] scale third note fifth note

[18:35] okay

[18:36] now if i go

[18:38] if i put a seventh on there that's

[18:40] called the major seventh that's c major

[18:42] seven that would be the note b

[18:45] okay

[18:46] this equals c major seven

[18:52] you hear that in

[18:54] you'll hear that in pop music

[18:57] not as much as you as you would in the

[18:59] 70s but you hear in pop music

[19:01] and then you have um

[19:03] if i

[19:04] flat the seventh

[19:08] this note make it flat this is a c7

[19:11] chord like you're in blues and things

[19:12] you're in rockier and beetles under it

[19:14] and

[19:15] motown here and everything

[19:17] c7 right so this is one three five flat

[19:21] seven

[19:22] so

[19:23] one three five major seven one three

[19:25] five flat seven

[19:27] that's a c7 chord

[19:30] right

[19:33] right that would be using let's say in

[19:34] the key of f a five one cadence that

[19:37] would be your dominant chord okay

[19:41] um

[19:42] now if i flat the keep the flat seven

[19:46] and i flat i mean there's other

[19:48] variations here if i make these minor

[19:51] then you get if i take this and i flat

[19:54] the third and go like this

[19:56] this would be c

[19:57] minor major seven

[20:00] and if i flat this

[20:02] this would be c minor seven

[20:05] okay so here's c major seven

[20:08] this is c

[20:10] minor major seven

[20:12] you'll actually hear that in songs like

[20:14] stairway to heaven that has minor major

[20:15] seventh chords in it or

[20:17] tons of songs something by the beatles

[20:20] very common in the 60s and 70s uh here's

[20:23] c7

[20:25] i'm gonna flat the third

[20:27] c minor seven really common your minor

[20:29] seven chords in all these songs the dua

[20:31] lipa song that i talked about this week

[20:34] that is uh very similar to this other

[20:37] song

[20:38] has three minor seventh chords in it b

[20:41] minor seven right

[20:43] what uh b minor seven

[20:45] what was it billy f short minor seven

[20:48] and e minor seven

[20:50] so the song progression is three minor

[20:53] seventh chords right so b minor seven

[20:56] f sharp minor seven

[20:59] and e minor seven

[21:02] okay so really common you're all the

[21:03] time in pop music songs are on the radio

[21:05] or on spotify at the top of the charts

[21:07] or on apple music top of the charts

[21:08] whatever

[21:10] minor seven chords are really really

[21:11] common there's another type of seventh

[21:13] chord that we can have you can actually

[21:14] have suspended

[21:18] uh seventh chords right

[21:21] give you an example i taught the uh the

[21:23] song

[21:24] um

[21:27] josie by steely dan in a video recently

[21:29] and they use a lot of

[21:31] sus two major sevenths so let's see if c

[21:34] sus2

[21:37] uh so that would be c d g

[21:40] so one two five

[21:43] and then

[21:44] with a major 7. i know this is this

[21:47] sounds really crazy

[21:50] and um and this would be with a b

[21:54] so that would be this here's c major 7.

[21:59] this is c

[22:00] major seven

[22:01] uh i'm sorry c yeah c major seven sus

[22:04] two or c sub two major seven i'd call it

[22:05] c major seven sus two but most people

[22:08] would call this

[22:09] as i called it

[22:12] these three notes

[22:14] are g major chord

[22:16] [Music]

[22:19] right

[22:24] so i would call that g

[22:26] because this is uh g major in

[22:29] second inversion here i would call it g

[22:32] over c

[22:34] easier to write it that way than to say

[22:37] c major seven sus two but that's what it

[22:39] is to the ear okay if you're going to

[22:41] learn these songs

[22:46] beautiful

[22:47] sounds

[22:52] love that love that sound if i had a

[22:57] that's a g major seven subs two but i

[22:58] put an e in the bass

[23:00] gives you a beautiful

[23:02] e uh e minor nine with the eleventh

[23:06] i just it's great i mean it's great

[23:10] if i were to play it over g but it's

[23:13] really

[23:14] cool i can actually play it over

[23:16] c and pick up c major uh 13 with a sharp

[23:21] 11

[23:22] great sound right

[23:28] you build a song off that just with that

[23:30] one chord voicing right

[23:32] okay you can also have sus 4 major 7 c

[23:36] major seven i'm going to call it c major

[23:38] seven sus four

[23:40] c

[23:41] i'm gonna do c major seven

[23:44] but i'm gonna make the sus four there f

[23:46] g b so one four five

[23:49] set major seven

[23:51] here's your c sus4

[23:54] so that would be here's c major seven

[23:57] c major seven sub four

[23:59] would that be that

[24:01] that's really more in modern

[24:06] you hear that more

[24:08] from people like me that would play that

[24:10] or more jet jazz harmonies or something

[24:12] like that you might hear that charlie

[24:14] puth though

[24:15] or jacob collier people like that

[24:19] but that

[24:20] concept structure c major seven sus4 you

[24:23] give c dominant seven sus four

[24:26] so it'll be one four five flat seven

[24:29] you could have um

[24:31] uh

[24:33] you really do do this with any of these

[24:35] suspended chords right you have major

[24:37] seven or

[24:38] uh flat seven with a suspension because

[24:42] you have the

[24:44] you

[24:44] you have c um

[24:47] sus2 with a flat 7 right c dominant 7

[24:50] sus2

[24:52] same kind of thing now

[24:54] why do you need to know these things

[24:59] because

[25:00] ultimately

[25:04] if you can pick these things out you can

[25:06] learn anything by ear any song by ear if

[25:08] you can recognize the chords you can

[25:10] recognize the melodies and how the

[25:12] melodies are constructed

[25:14] and this is through repetition this is

[25:16] what my ear training course does okay

[25:19] it teaches you the interval

[25:21] relationships if i go

[25:26] now i don't need perfect pitch to know

[25:29] that i was going to play that note e you

[25:31] can see it on the screen and if i go ba

[25:34] and i go duh

[25:36] i know what those notes are going to

[25:38] sound like before i play them because i

[25:40] know what the intervals are

[25:42] c e g b flat

[25:45] god i'm a bad singer

[25:49] that would be a c7 chord i recognize

[25:51] that

[25:53] what i've developed and what you

[25:54] developed through using the ear training

[25:56] course and my biato book learning theory

[25:58] is you develop a

[26:00] vocabulary you've heard me say this

[26:02] before and here of recognized sounds

[26:05] right

[26:06] and eventually this vocabulary is is

[26:10] becomes huge

[26:11] if i hear a sound like this uh so i hear

[26:14] this something like

[26:16] when i hear that i'm like oh that's a

[26:18] dominant 13 flat 9 chord

[26:21] i just know the sound of it

[26:23] i may not know it's a g

[26:25] 13 flat 9

[26:28] but i know it's a dominant 7 with a 13

[26:31] and a flat 9.

[26:34] right i might say oh that's like e major

[26:36] over g

[26:37] [Music]

[26:47] so that's part of my vocabulary of

[26:48] recognized sounds but in my vocabulary

[26:51] of recognized sounds there are thousands

[26:53] of chords maybe not thousands there's

[26:55] hundreds of chords because there's not

[26:56] that many different chords

[26:58] but like when i was figuring out josie

[27:00] here it's weird so i make this video on

[27:02] the steely dance song i've been

[27:03] listening to for 46 years or whatever

[27:06] i never figured the song out because the

[27:09] thing about music theory is that you

[27:10] just use it when you need it right

[27:13] otherwise i just enjoy music i don't

[27:15] analyze music

[27:17] i never figured that song out before i

[27:19] made the video and when i made the video

[27:21] i was like

[27:23] i just needed to turn on my brain

[27:26] and then i could hear

[27:29] those intervals of how the beginning

[27:31] worked of where the voicings were what

[27:33] order the notes were in

[27:35] on the guitar some of the voicings

[27:38] like uh if it was um

[27:41] uh like

[27:43] if it was

[27:45] the um

[27:47] i'm trying to think what

[27:49] what was one of the chords here

[27:52] oh it'd be like d

[27:54] d over a so

[27:56] it would be like

[27:58] they have a lot of voicings like that

[28:02] that's kind of what what larry carlton

[28:04] would play on the guitar this is more of

[28:06] a guitar voicing this would be the fifth

[28:07] fret

[28:08] the

[28:10] second fret on the uh

[28:12] on the a string or on the d string then

[28:15] that would be this the third fret uh

[28:17] second fret on the g string

[28:19] and second fret on the b string

[28:22] i'm trying to picture the chord in my

[28:23] brain but that right so that's how the

[28:26] chord sounds when i listen to it i was

[28:28] like oh that's a major seven sustain

[28:31] quarter that's a

[28:33] uh with the

[28:34] i could hear the root

[28:37] and the fifth of the chord

[28:40] a major second apart i could hear this

[28:43] or

[28:44] in this register right

[28:46] [Music]

[28:48] but i never that never occurred to me

[28:50] when i was

[28:51] listening to the song for 46 years it

[28:53] came out in 77 how many years is that

[28:56] 7 45 years 45 years

[29:00] 45 years i listened to the song and i

[29:02] never figured it out

[29:04] right so this stuff you should be able

[29:05] to turn on and off i don't always

[29:08] analyze songs i just analyze them when i

[29:10] have to teach them to you on here

[29:12] uh but it's incredibly

[29:15] great practice and being able to

[29:17] recognize interval relationships right

[29:20] being able to recognize triads being

[29:23] able to record recognize seventh chords

[29:26] all of these things are so important to

[29:29] becoming a great musician

[29:32] to becoming an adequate musician even

[29:34] right this is why i'm selling my bundle

[29:37] this is why i created these educational

[29:39] products i created my beyotto book

[29:43] back when i was teaching at ithaca

[29:44] college because i needed a theory book

[29:46] that talked about things like suspended

[29:48] chords and suspended with major sevenths

[29:50] and suspended with dominant sevens and

[29:52] lydian triads lydian triad

[29:54] that'd be one sharp four five i didn't

[29:56] even get into that yet but these are

[29:58] things you would you will encounter in

[30:00] the book one sharp four five

[30:03] that's like a suspended

[30:05] chord but with a suspended sharp four

[30:07] right one sharp four five

[30:10] um these are things that were never in

[30:12] books so i wrote my own book that

[30:14] included all these things

[30:16] and my ear training course includes

[30:17] these things you don't find ear training

[30:18] courses to tell you how to teach you how

[30:21] to hear lydian triads or phrygian triads

[30:24] that would be a c phrygian triad

[30:27] uh and why are those things important

[30:29] because they're actually parts of other

[30:31] chords right this lydian triad

[30:34] if i put

[30:36] a in the bass

[30:38] then you get like an a with the uh you

[30:41] got minor

[30:42] then you have the six

[30:43] and the flat seven

[30:45] great sound

[30:48] cool sound see lydian over g

[30:51] oh

[30:53] see lydian over e

[30:55] it's like an aeolian sound you have the

[30:57] flat six there

[30:59] you got the nine and the third with the

[31:01] root

[31:02] love those sounds beautiful sounds very

[31:04] moody sounds

[31:06] and i can recognize them

[31:08] like that

[31:10] right

[31:11] it just

[31:12] i hear it's like yeah

[31:13] [Music]

[31:15] one sure four or five as soon as i hear

[31:18] that i recognize what the interval

[31:19] combinations are i don't even have to

[31:21] think one sharp four five i'm just like

[31:23] oh that's a lydian triad

[31:25] why because it's part of my vocabulary

[31:28] of recognized sounds that's why

[31:31] so if you want to learn all this stuff
