  • Alot o people hide thier masterclasses behind paywalls and seing such a passion for having acsss for free to this is so important to the music space. People should just be able to find and sil learn if they are interested in the music space and think it may be good for them. Slowly rushe music space and culture if eeything is behind exensive paywalls to justify importance. The importance is people knowing the right stuff and being able to reseach and figure for hemselves with out a hasle cause its not all locked a way. Great videos on you channel. Love love.

  • Not a basics video at all. Watch Andrew Huang's video for an actual intro to music theory with EVERYTHING covered without expecting you to know everything

  • A couple of things you might have thrown in as asides are that it doesn’t matter if these triads are played in the same order right to left, that is, inversions, which allows flexibility in where on the keyboard you are playing. And another aside which you obliquely touched on is the fact that when chords follow other chords and then circle back in certain ways is what makes music interesting and satisfying and that’s why all of these different chords are even needed or wanted. Also, that chords, especially over a full measure or more allow a band to dwell on and improvise on the same musical idea together for a while as they listen and play together, as opposed to melody which is more specific and soloist oriented. Sorry, just some little nuggets for beginners.

  • I spent $300 on piano lessons in college and learned none of this… This is amazing and free. Thank you so much, Rick

  • Rick, something I've never seen: A course on class on how to transcribe your own music.

    I have several songs of my own and sometimes I record things that I later forget how I played them or what I was even playing at the time and I find myself lost at the time of trying to write down my own music and all the stuff I've seen on the internet are very generic or so vague that instead of my doubts or questions being cleared I end up with more questions.

    I've never something like: Alright, we're going to make a song from scratch and we're going to write it down to a music sheet, we're going to writing slides, tapping, slap parts to a piece of paper. We're going to figure out the time signature and time signature changes, the key and how to write down a change in said key.

  • Thank you for putting this information out for free! I wish there had been something like this when I borrowed a guitar from my aunt 20 years ago???? Also, I actually work with the beato book, which is really well put together!

  • i have been trying to learn music theory since ages, but never got it, but your lessons are right on point and hit the 1st attempt. your teaching techniques are amazing.

  • Is it bad that I don't understand any of this and all I here is Greek. Not even sure what it is that I'm attempting to learn. If this is basic, I'm screwed

  • Forgot adding back in the b6 and b7 intervals when you rewrote out the Natural Minor Scale…..

    1. 2. b3 4 5 b6 b7

    ????????

  • Basics? You missed saying what #1 is!!! it's the first note of the major scale! Tonic? Root? whatever. You went straight into numbers the novice doesn't know.

  • When I was in middle school (grades 6 – 8) I took music classes. My music teacher didn't teach us this. I had a few tutors and even took private lessons. NONE of my teachers taught me this. This is so simple to understand. Now in my mid-fifties thinking of all that wasted time when I could have been reading and writing music instead of being relinquished to the rhythm section playing tablature. I look back and all I can think is how stupid my teachers were. How does that happen? How do we end up with the bottom of the barrel when we should have the best at what they do teaching. My father use too say, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." Not true, as you have plainly demonstrated, but I'm just sayin', WTF?

    ANYWAYS,
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

  • Wow this is for beginners?! Yikes. I thought I was a beginner, but I cannot follow anything he’s saying. Using words without defining them.. scale? What’s that? Note? What’s that? Pitch? What’s that? Key? What’s that? Chord? What’s that? Seriously I have no idea what any of this means, and these are just a few examples. I’m just a ball in tall grass. ???? I love watching Ricks videos though, it’s very humbling and it’s impressive to see someone know so much about their craft, and his energy is a joy to watch. I still feel like an idiot though.

  • seems like you’re doing this from the perspective of a composer or an arranger and it’s very different than how I was taught this stuff interesting and I’d have to say you’re doing this from the protective, jazz or pop composer no way this is how you would teach harmony through a Bach coral

  • BOOM, there, I finally watched the whole video. great one Rick, as always, thx.

  • It’s been about 15 years since I’ve taken music theory classes and this instantly brought back a lot of information that I needed to refresh

  • One of Joe Pass's students said that was a 2,4. Joe said I don't know, I just play the chords.

  • The Lyd is used in the jetsons theme song. I wanted to resolve that lol. I took seven years a piano as a kid, i faked my way through because I play it by ear.

  • Greetings from Finland, the Land of Käärijä. I'm a dilettante drummer. I was stoopid enough to argue with a fellow TMer (practitioner of Transcendental Meditation) and jazz pianist from the US of A, about(?) the dominant 7th cord. I didn't quite understand what a dominant seventh is, until I finally figgered out that it refers to the (flat or diminished?) 7th added to the dominant degree(?) of the scale, like F in C major. But after watching this I'm a bit confused whether that's a correct way to describe a dominant 7th. ????
