[@L.A.Made.]

Love that mpk mini.

[@LiftedNoise]

Great video! 🙌 I hope You do some more of these. I especially appreciate the mini key tutorials. Good to see your technique here. Thank You 🙏

[@nanskimusicofficial]

You're an amazing teacher, keep up the great work!

[@ohh5229]

thx for making this easy to understand man!

[@retierashia]

These really are good simple Lo-Fi chords, beautiful and very easy, thanks.

[@Zigger27]

Nice! Thanks, this is really usefull stuff to work with

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Fabulous video made real clear sense beautifully paced well shot without clutter, your voice is clear and the examples at the were inspiring thank you very much. Is it possible you could do a similar video explaining some Lois drum patterns to go with is for the complete beginner. Please keep uploading content you make a difference

[@ThomasJoyhill]

Thank you for the comment! I'm soon getting back to making videos. I'm also planning to do very beginner friendly tutorials :)

[@AutisticCuriosity]

@@ThomasJoyhill this is great news - many tutorials on this subject are confused because though they say they’re simple Lofi tutorials they quickly start talking about filters and velocity curves and specific DAW. Maybe Drum beat tutorial don’t even give a count jar an overwhelming choice with a screen shot of Ableton if your lucky. The top viewed piano tutorial on lofi chords doesn’t explain how they’re made like you do. I have a simple midi keyboard with some pads on a simple drum machine and I can record keys on a sequencer on my key step pro etc. no computer at all involved. I don’t want to learn computer programming I’m dawless line literally 1000s of other beginner musicians. Look forward to watching your videos. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Thomas thanks for the great video. Just one question: in the progression 1 you used Fmaj-cmaj, i noticed that during the example (from min 5.26) you used different chords (if i'm not wrong emaj7-bmaj7), perhaps i'm wrong but looks like you changed the chord showed at 0.18 min. Is that so ? Thanks a lot

[@ThomasJoyhill]

Yes you are correct :) In my example I transposed first chord progression down one semitone. It's still the same chord progression if you're thinking about chord degree. Interval between F - C is the same as E - B.

[@youtubewatcher2006]

Chord Progression #1 Example was in the Emin scale instead of the Cmaj scale? Because in the demo at the start you played Fmaj + Cmaj but in the example you showed Emaj + Bmaj.

[@ThomasJoyhill]

Yes, it is different, yet it's the same :) In my example I transposed first chord progression down one semitone. It's still the same chord progression if you're thinking about chord degree. Interval between F - C is the same as E - B.

@@ThomasJoyhill Okay, got it. Thank you.

[@samadhi.bhakti]

great!

[@samadhi.bhakti]

make more pls

[@zuecifer]

i have the weirdest question why is it Dm7 G7 and Cmaj7 does the G7 just inherently mean Gmaj7, i've played this progression a lot but am new to music theory so i wanted to see if thats just an individual choice or if there is a specific reason for referring to G7 that way instead of Gmaj7, could it be that its the first inversion so we drop the maj in the chord name?

[@zuecifer]

any feedback would be appreciate 10/10 on the video im loving your content its very helpful

[@ThomasJoyhill]

@@zuecifer C7 and Cmaj7 are different things. The "maj" means that highest note of the chord is major 7 in relation to base note, which is C. For example C7 has C, E, G and Bb. But in Cmaj7 there's C, E, G and B. So the highest note is not Bb but B instead.

[@zuecifer]

@@ThomasJoyhill Thank you! Awesome track!!!

[@hackermusic-pu6im]

Wow hey

[@chechoperez2672]

In the third chord progression, is Em7 inverted the same as Gmaj6??

[@ThomasJoyhill]

Yes it actually is :)

[@RICARDOELDOMINICANO]

Midi?

[@MrPastorlarry]

In the 3rd progression the 4th chord sounds more like a G add 6

[@ThomasJoyhill]

Yeah I realized that as well later on. Same chord as inverted Em7 but Gadd6 makes more sense.
