I'll be the jazz nerd over here and I'll explain what this guy does in his jazzy harmonization. Bbmaj7 - IVmaj7 chord. It's cool cus it has A, F and D (the tonic triad notes and the paralel minor tonic note) in it what makes the chord sound not only predominant (as the simple IV triad does) but even tonic. So you definitely can use it to start your tune. And also it's cool cus after this Bbmaj7 he uses a V-i motion to the relative minor, which five's a half step lower than Bb. Smooth harmonic motion is cool. A7b13 - it starts the V-i motion for Dm (the relative minor of F) and it's basically just an A7 but with a chromatic alternation (b9 and b13 in V7s sounds cool, dreamy and kinda lofi, so try to use it in your simple V-I progressions) A7#9 - we sharped the ninth in our V7 chord which makes the chord more dramatic and more fancy jazz than just lofi. But it's still basically just a V-I to Dm movement, keep that in mind. Dm7 - hooray, we have finally modulated to D minor, the relative minor of F. After that there's a Dm7-Dbm7-Cm7 motion. Basically, Cm7 is a step lower than Dm7 so we did a chord between them to vary the harmonic rhythm and make it sound more dreamy. I mean it could be just Dm7-Cm7 (a step down from Cm7) but he did Dm7-Dbm7-Cm7 (half step motion). Also I can explain the Dbm7 as a triton substitution for G7, the V7 for Cm but with a minor third. Which means that we can use just a Db7 (not Dbm7) in the motion. You also can put some extensions in it as well as we did it in A7#9 and A7b13. Cm7-F7b9-Bbmaj7 - yoooo finally we've got a ii-V-I. #jazzsaved. Yeah, it's just a 251 to IV but with this lofi b9 in the V7. A7b13-Dm - a yet another V-i to Dm. Bbm6 - the IV triad with a sixth (which is very common in jazz as well as sevenths but sevenths are more dissonant than sixes) but with a minor third bc of harmonic F major with the b6 of the scale. Yeah, you can use the b6 in your major scale freely, it's common. Also it resolves good back into Bbmaj7. So the progression recycles and it's good. And now just a simple explanation: IVmaj7 | III7b13 (V7) III7#9 (V7) | vi7 (i7) bvi7 (triton sub for the V7) | v7 (i7) (ii7) I7b9 (V7) | IVmaj7 (I) | IIIb13 (V7) | vi (i) | iv6 || UPD: also just figured out that this progression is almost the same as the Blue in Green progression in Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album. Find some backing tracks on the youtubes if you want to make some noodlings over it. UPD2: the first chord in the progression is Bb, not Bbmaj7, my little mistake. In this case the IV chord can't sound like semi-tonic beacuse it's a complete standard subdominant chord. But it doesn't mean that we can't just start the tune with a completely subdominant chord, of course we can. Historically IVmaj7 was very rarely used in jazz as a subdominant chord beacuse of it's tonic tones so jazz cats changed it for the iim7 because it's a complete subdominant chord and it's a seventh chord. Although, IVmaj7 found its usability in more fancy styles of jazz as a IVmaj#11 chord because of it's lydian sound. UPD3: And finally, it's all not about the chords... Who even cares about them?

A lot of soundtrack musicians take full advantage of this and I love it. Listen to Hamilton and count how many times you can hear the same melody over different chords. Listen to the Undertale soundtrack, listen to the outro melody in "Once Upon a Time" and then listen to same melody in "Hopes and Dreams." Sometimes the chord progression switch is in the same song. A good example is "CORE" by Toby Fox where he has that little piano going throughout the entire track. And even when the chord progression changes you still hear the same melody going in the background. Chords are my favorite thing about music and I love it.

[@AymenZero]

Not just soundtrack musicians. Every song in the world has a chord progression, love it or hate it. Even if it's not there you can still feel it. If the song has no chords, it doesn't have a melody which means it's not even a song because music in general is melody and rhythm.

He fought for puzzles, solving their secret, releasing them from their own caged agony. At last he reached the Queen, and with the power of the puzzles he freed they defeated the evil Queen with little to no fanfare. The Queen laughed, laughed, laughed as she dissolved into the air, her bun of hair flowing down freely as the puzzle crown slipped from her head and left nothing more. The prince silently takes the crown, his face solemn- he softly sighs as the crown fits his head, and the boy realizes too late that the crown is not a blessing, and that the prince had not defeated the queen but saved her instead; he can only watch as the everlasting shackle imprison his friend. So the boy stays next to the mindless prince, whispering everlasting stories into his empty husk, wishing he would one day come back, waiting for all eternity. The story is same every time, and it goes like this; *Once upon a time, once upon a time, there lived a boy with no name to call himself-*

ok so i tried to figure out the chords of the ending: Fm (i) Eb (bVII) Db (bVI) Bb (IV) F (I) D (VI) G (II) C5b13 (V) F (I) Bbm (iv) to Dbm (bvi) to Csus4 (v) F (I) Bbm (iv) to Ab (bIII) to Bb (IV) to Csus4 to ??? (C9/F???)

[@vanzzv.9187]

Thx bro for the chords... u deserve more likes

[@thomasrj7390]

this sounds like all correct I think

[@mundane3809]

finally i can now play this on my guitar :>>

[@jishkabob213]

Yeah the chord at the end there before the little puzzle boy turned around made me feel like something wasn't right, in an unnatural way haha

[@wontpower]

It sounds like the beginning starts with Fm to Ab, and also, it sounds like the ??? is a Dm (vi). Makes sense considering the bass line, which ascends diatonically from Ab to D, and in the main melody, the phrase ends on a 6-1 motion. Additionally, that last Dbm sounds major to my ear. Here's my take: Fm // Abmaj7 // Db9 // Bb F // A7b9#9 // G13 // C9b13 F69 " " " Bb7sus9 // Db7 // C7sus4 // C7sus4/G Fadd9 // Bbm9 // Abmaj7 // Bb // C7sus4 // Dm // F#11

This reminded me of Undertale in the beginning and in the end, with the 8-bit part, I was sure the vid was inspired by it

[@ConnorGardner]

Fantastic video man, you write so many great progressions. Love that nod to Undertale at the end, at least that's what I think you're hinting at with those similar chord progressions

[@Cleveland-ye7rw]

That melody will be in my head for days now because of you 😭😭

Third one sounds kind of undertaley. Oh wait I just got to the fourth one, yes that’s very undertaley

[@DannySullivanMusic]

yeah haha

[@chuckleberry2142]

You have invented the word "undertalely" and I will forever despise you for that. Just kidding.

[@smolchild1343]

You should definitely add more to the jazzier one and consider making it a whole song

[@spicytuna62]

I played music for a long time in middle school thru college, but it was all written stuff. Music *THEORY* always escapes me. It's amazing how something like music can be broken down so scientifically so that if you just turn the right knobs and tweak the right settings, things just sound _nice_ to people. It's amazing.

[@its.dragaton]

So is that ending a reference to Undertale/Deltarune? or is my brain just too entrenched in Deltarune right now?

[@nummy3228]

Kristina Meyer it totally is lol

Great job, great animations, great music, He also made this 3 years ago this man should deserve more subscribers

[@nikolabanovic4833]

I found these side comments on how you chose the chords in a progression super useful! Definetly added to my vocabulary

[@inblooks]

i don't know if you ever got an answer to why the chromatic walkdown from vi - v is so common, but that's because the minor v typically sets up for a I chord, which, given in the context of a modulation to IV, creates a ii - V - i! lots of jpop songs like to start on the IV, so this allows for a simple loop once you make it back to the vi!

[@WindingDreams]

It's obvious you understand music very well to just casually give me goosebumps in the ending like that
