Avicii was not only a genius, he also showed that when making music, you don't have to follow 'rules' at all. Do what you like and don't try to imitate someone else. Simple advice, but often producers want to imitate someone else. I miss him everyday.

[@profundisconfutatis8093]

???? Open voicings are not new, I didn't make it past that simply because the guy who made this video uses any work he can find to sound like he knows what he's talking about. Calling a 3rd and a 5th "harmonics" is not correct, everything has harmonics. Then he called the top voice a leading tone and I decided to simply stop the video. I'm not normally negative but this anti learning dumbassery where a producer uses widely known music theory to produce well arranged music and then people who have no interest in learning anything think guys like Avicii reinvented the wheel.

@Solal shhh lettem think big-theory is trying to oppress them

[@profundisconfutatis8093]

@Solal I explore plenty of ideas on my own, but most of what I come up with had already been explored by others and it's just in some book I don't know about. So I get the idea of just playing and exploring , I'm just not irrationally against any sort of musical intellectualism. By the same coin understanding what makes music successful is part of conveying an emotional message, if these people are so against theory then they should probably stop using lyrics with language and just make grunts and whistles to convey their lyrics otherwise they are just being boring conformists

[@santanu29]

This just goes to show what a genius he was. Coming up with such chord progressions is not everyones cup of tea

[@ahmedreda1462]

Indeed, in so many songs you just hear the piano and say no one can have the piano to sound like this except Avicii, and it was obvious in songs he co Produced

[@odichi-ezesomtochukwu4313]

Do more of this please 😊

[@flanderstruck3751]

Not to be that guy, but this is nowhere close to being a genius, just basic music training.

[@hithere4289]

@@flanderstruck3751 guess you can do the same with basic training

[@Sh0n0]

@@flanderstruck3751 yeah, basic theory, the genius comes from his choice of notes

[@cakewalk4602]

Tim was a very creative and gifted song composer in all of edm :) I'm happy there's still people who remember and appreciate his works,ty for this video and ty for sharing your knowledge ❤️

[@skyebruanhut9095]

A leading tone isn't the tone that is on top. Sometimes, it happens to be on top of a chord but not always. The leading tone is a note that leads into another note that is one semitone higher or lower. Thanks for all the content. I appreciate your work.

[@1PhantomT]

Thank you so much I was getting confused 😂

[@Daveblakebeats]

Tip!💡 1:14 Select the notes, then press CTRL+Arrow Up (or CTRL+Arrow Down for an octave down) Great breakdown btw, very nicely done!

[@nishantsahoo1012]

Can we do this on Ableton?

we need more avicii breakdowns.. like for every song!

[@HiYannick]

I mean, only 1:30 in and you already have insane value. Nice video, as always!!

[@AdamHaycee]

You really see his abilities to write addictive melodies and work them into a whole track, keeping the listener interested with "Heaven" The main riff does not stop playing at all throughout the whole track...but you don't get bored of it. Brilliant

[@rikgreen520]

Absolutely fantastic.........Avicii was a total innovator of this EDM style.......such a sad loss......please keep up with this sort of video Alex, knowing how these songs were scripted with great chord progressions......fills me with hope, i can use these ideas as well........Keep up the good work.

[@CSR_OW2]

Avicii was the force that brought me into music in the first place, so every song is just heavy with nostalgia for me. these days my music taste is a little more rock sentric, but I will never forget what Avicci did for me by bringing me into this wonderful world of music. Fly high buddy, gone but never forgotten....

[@nick_ragin]

Hello Alex I loved your effort to recall on the best composition by Avicii. I want to add to this that at the end of second Chords combination, in my opinion, there is the one passing chord he plays at the end of the D# chord, and he plays the F 7 times to compensate that instead of 8. 16x C# + 7x F + 8x D# + 1x C or some lower than D# chord which is passing

[@anguiishmusic]

FL Studio Tip, if you want to cut your notes into 8ths you can press Ctrl+U as a short cut .

[@mikelloamaury]

We come a long way since that day.💯🔥

Alex thank you so much for making this video. The nostalgia was so powerful when you finally played it how we remember. I almost started tearing up knowing we lost this genius. Thank you for continuing his legacy. You’ve inspired me to get back into music production after years of letting FL studio sit uninstalled on my computer. I can’t wait to get back the joy that it brought me. Thank you
