Note for viewers, it took me a few *years* to go from recognizing IV and V reliably to all the chromatics here. You can absolutely do it, but you've gotta learn and play songs and get those chords in your fingers and associated with the Roman numeral in your head while playing them. Great overview of the common major/minor here!

Hello David. As a musician who never really properly learned about music in the formal sense, I've been following many KZbin teachers, and you're way out in front and my absolute favourite. I have to compliment you on your relaxed style of presenting music theory in a way that keeps me engaged. I've learned so much already and will continue to follow you, so please keep it going, keep it relaxed and thank you for taking the time to assist oldies like myself who never had the music education we should have had. Although I was theoretically a professional musician, I really only played at a very basic level and watching your videos has made me realise how much better I would have been had I taken the music classes at school that were available. But now through your easy-to-understand and step-by-step approach, I'm gradually catching up. Thank you and I'll see you in the next one!!!

Other songs that use the VII chord like Karma Police are: "Sexy Sadie" by The Beatles "Mr Sandman" by The Chordettes" "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" by the Mamas and the Papas And minor version of the vii is found in the Beatles' "Yesterday", the second chord right after the tonic!

[@adamlane2156]

I loved a little quiz at the end. it definitely encouraged me to be a more active participant. Often times I find myself just listening, but never applying.

[@benrosenthal4273]

Strangely did a lot better on the harder levels of the quiz haha! Stuff like the IV iv I or bVI bVII I have such distinctive sounds it's hard to confuse them for anything else. I always have issues with distinguishing IV I, because it feels like a strong resolution to me so I always think it must be V

[@jaspermooren5883]

Yeah I had the same, the last question was the only one I got completely correct. Often mix up iii and vi, and IV and V. It's pretty hard to mis a bII, it's the easiest one to hear IMO, since it's just chromatic.

I have the same trouble, I can more easily recognize alterations than diatonic chords. They just pop to me, while diatonics all sound somewhat the same.

[@ChannelMath]

me too! after hearing some dissonance, IV just sounds so "right", I think it must be V. I've gotten a little better by thinking that while V is total confidence in the journey, IV is a little calmer, wiser, less strident or something

[@Dave-nm8uk]

A great deal depends on the chord voicing. It is possible to balance different chords to get different effects in chord progressions. It also makes a lot of difference if one moves away from "simply" piano plus a few other instruments. If there's a separate bass, then that can give a different effect too. Voice leading effects make a difference also.

[@gnorung7769]

Same here, I feel everything's that's been said in this thread. One thing that might help with identifying VI is that it shares one note with the I chord, namely the tonic, while V shares the dominant of the scale. It's a bit of a stretch but can be useful every so often if you can hear and identify the common note. Another thing that might work is imagining the chord one step up, since IV-V-I is a very common progression and every so often I can 'hear' the V that might follow, whereas imagining the chord one tone above V feels more difficult and has much less pull towards I. They only work sometimes, as they failed me just now during the quiz, but they do work when the conditions are right. Also in our defense, ii-V-I is way more common than ii-IV-I so after identifying ii, V is already expected.

[@praetorfenix69]

This is awesome! Working out chords by ear is a skill I've been trying to develop lately and this will help a lot. Think you could do a similar video focused on minor keys?

[@fortunefavorsthebold3459]

David there is something incredibly soothing about the way your videos make so many abstract concepts concrete enough to where I feel I can finally make good use of them in my songwriting!! Many thanks!

[@gnorung7769]

Playing the chords on the piano as they came up in the songs was such a nice touch! As a piano player, identifying the chords where there is no piano or keyboard accompaniment is always an added challenge, so it was nice not having to worry about them in this instance. It gets even more difficult when the song does not start on tonic (it usually doesn't I think) and chords are never explicitly played but implied or just played in an unusual or complex way. One thing I'd add is that for most genres, identifying the bass helps immensely, as it's almost always the root if there is a bass player. Even for inversions and slash chords it helps to figure out the rest, I'd say. Otherwise I guess it mostly comes down to familiarity or if that doesn't work, fiddling on your main instrument. Either way, this video is a very good play to start.👍

[@mwolf9868]

Man so grateful to stumble upon your channel. How clear your explanations are, the way you play while you talking about the chord and how you play the chord over the example song really helps to a novice like me. Thank you sir!

David, THANK YOU for doing exactly this! Ear training is so important, but so also is understanding how these chord progression choices affect us W/R/T mood and emotion. It's something that probably doesn't get taught enough in formal music studies. And using examples from popular songs that (most) everybody recognizes really firmly takes the ideas from theoretical to real-world.

One of my favorites its Flowers Never Bend by Simon & Garfunkel and even when I've heard it a billion times, that last chord is always so unsettling and I love it. I dont know of any more songs that do that. Further more I'd love to hear your take on why a song would end like that. I'm sure at that point its more artistic stylistic choice than anything. But yeah, I dont believe ive ever seen a video that covers something like that.

[@dannygibor]

Excellent as always. In addition to your explanation there are also chord inversions (major, minor, 7ths), diminished/augmented chords and other mixes (like IV on V). When I analyze a new song I listen to the chord progression like you explained but I also listen to the bass line at the same time. Once I nail down the correct bass note, I usually have only a couple of options for building the right chord on top of the bass. This is usually a 1-3-5 (basic chord) but it could be a chord inversion like 1-3-6 or 1-4-6. For example, when starting with C major, you'll notice the bass jumps to E and then to F. The 2nd chord may sound like a iii (Em) but in this case it's actually the same C chord, played using the 2nd inversion (E-G-C or 1-3-6). The only difference from the iii chord is the C note instead of B. These are subtle differences that require some practice in order to identify correctly.

I am kinda surprised that I got them all right. The last example was the easiest, but only because I recognized it immediately as the same exact progression in an instrumental song that I wrote. As a singer-songwriter-guitarist, I am always thinking about ways to write unique chord progressions that are catchy, compelling, interesting, and most importantly, they not only match the mood and feeling, but also add a new dimension that takes the listener on a journey, but ultimately, if it's not authentically original, then it's never going to be a song that I will be happy with, and that is what is most important to me!!!

Really interesting about that last one: the I to bII is obvious if you can associate it with the pyramid song. I then guessed that it ended with IV to V recognizing it as the subdominant to dominant progression. The obvious issue, however is that these belong to the key of Eb, not C. It’s as if my brain got disoriented after the bII chord and latched onto a different tonic altogether.

I got them all ! NOT to brag, but I did surprise myself, as it would ordinarily take me a few minutes with an instrument. They must have just all been fresh enough in my head. I'd agree that such ear training practices are quite beneficial . BTW, there is this REAL nifty little tune in "G" by the Solo Acoustic Guitar Instrumental Virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel called "Only Elliot". That I'd like to hear your(or anyone's) take on. Here are the Chords: G - C - F#m7 - "G#m7" - Em7 - C - D/F# - G. & In your prefered notation ?: I - IV - iiv7(#5) - "bii7" - vi - IV - V/7 - I. I'm not sure how this particular notation ought to deal with everything. Like for instance, is the #5 necessary in the 3rd chord(of the progression) F#m7, where the 7th chord of a key is normally half diminished ? & for the slash chords(my preference bc they just contain more info) should the bass note after the / be what degree of the key or the chord itself ? For the D/F#, which is 7th chord(in the progression), I put V/7 bc F# is the 7th note of the key of G. But should it be V/#4 where the F# is relative to the V/C Chord in question ? IMO ALL such notations face some issues so I just prefer to write them out & transpose when necessary. Anyway, here is my MAIN question. The 3rd chord, F#m7 is pretty common, I suppose it would just temporarily suggest Dorion or Lydian. & I can think of many songs in C that use Bm or Bm7 for instance. BUT the 4th Chord(of the song) G#m7 the bii is what I'd call the "money chord" here. Off hand, I can't say I've EVER seen it used before, even after giving it some thought. & it sounds ENTIRELY natural here ! Any thoughts ? ANY & ALL analyzations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ! Great chan BTW.

I do mashups for fun on soundcloud because I discovered I have a natural tendency to recognize chord progressions. I'd be listening to music in a pub, or at work, and something clicks in my head: "Hey, that sounds like (X) song". I write them down, on paper or phone, and mix them when I get home.

An interesting quirk of having perfect pitch is that, in my experience, it actually makes learning to listen for chord relationships harder. My brain tries to process the specific notes being played, which makes it harder to listen to the quality of the chords relative to each other. But even so, this video was really helpful!

One of my favourite examples of the VIb is in I Saw Her Standing There by The Beatles. The song is in E major, and after they sing the line "So how could I dance with another" there's a C major chord, which is the major chord built on the flat 6th degree of E major.
