[@DolanIre_blackhair]

Litteraly the best lessons in KZbin. Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@beakyisabella6652]

Love your comprehensive teaching style and your relaxed manner. You make everything so understandable and achievable.

[@dauntiekay2768]

Great Lesson, Tim! This lesson helps me see how the scales relate to the chords and how to utilize them in playing a piece. I think it might be interesting to take each scale and break it down into the patterns of chords. I must take a look at the other videos you have suggested. Again, great video!

[@al3xm1lner]

The sharp closest to the right > up a semitone = major scale. The second flat to the right = major scale. Whatever the result is > down a tone and a half = minor scale. And also about the scales. How every scale the chords will be maj, min, min, maj, maj, min, dim, maj. And the 1st, 4th and 4th primary chords of the scale Thank you so much I never knew about this before but I'm so thankful I know now!

[@deadmanswife3625]

Me either

[@ViktorVonfuling]

This is genuinely one of the most helpful videos I have watched about playing and understanding music, you really explained it very well

[@Magicvegan]

You have a wonderful way of explaining things, Tim. Thank you for these lessons. ❤

[@flipsspillow]

Amazing lesson. I loved the simple concept you use to teach scales and how to figure them out by sight.

[@teedtad2534]

Good tios! .... 😊well explained...

[@WahresIchTV]

Thank you so much, buddy! It‘s the best video ever!!!! Many blessings from Germany and merry Christmas!

[@robbybisi3756]

Great Lesson! Very clear, specially by the end. Thank you for your time and dedication helping so many people.

[@tanvirajgarhia8894]

WOAH. Thank you! I've tried to understand this for years! Finally did!

[@gabrielucros9616]

Great class Tim, it opens up a understanding of how music is build with chords

[@kirrileepearson9981]

I had no idea there was a set method for working this out. Thank you. No more guessing.

[@normanlove222]

This taught me what I wasn't understanding before. I now know how to find the chords to the melodies the universe gives me. :-) Thanks!

[@1allstarman]

Thank you for sharing this information Tim ! I have been playing guitar off and on for a few decades, every once in awhile I would find sheet music for song I wished to play , without chords , I once was lost , now I at least have a solid idea where to start the next time I come across this phenaminon !

[@jammybilly]

Thanks Tim! I had come up with a melody for a song. I played with C# major because it was the first note but I was undecided. I now realise I have 4 sharps so I will go and check what key that could be. I have to say I watched your video first then I watched 3 others. They all said they were going to find chords to a melody but when I got there they ALL said we were in the key of C and they were just finding the chords to the key of C from the melody notes. Not quite the same thing. So thankyou very much for teaching what you actually said you were going to teach us.

[@wilo1463]

THE MAGIC MAN OF THE NOTES VERY GOOD.

[@wms72]

One full step up from D sharp is F, not E. Can you clarify at about 5:50? Thanks.

[@grkuntzmd]

This video is a really good explanation! Thanks.

[@ingenious4t]

You know, I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time! Thanks Tim you’ve actually kickstarted my interest in music theory, brilliant.. thanks so much. Here have my subscription..

[@Shanaedy]

This is just what I’ve been looking for! So easy to understand and follow. Thank you!

[@danieltschudin3870]

I play guitar for about 13 years now, and really overlook theory. I learned most by ears and tabs for reminding. Now I want to start with piano, with little basic knowledge. Your guide here is phenomenal. Especially how you combine practic with sheets 👍🏻👍🏻. Like & sub from my side.

[@arrivetherapy]

this was really good. nicely explained

[@Flammengeif]

Superb video, you did a great job teaching the basic theory in a way everybody can understand and use.

[@Burnedblackwaffles]

this lesson is what I seek for a long long time! thanks your sharing!

[@agrotte]

Clear and concise lesson, I learnt something who was one of my questions for long time...Thank you.

[@zarcero21]

Great lesson, especially if already familiar with the Roman numeral system. Very applicable to guitar as well. Thank you.

[@Bo-lh3op]

Excellent lesson!

[@annemarienoel8424]

Thanks Tim, I was looking for that for so long, I know my scales, chords, and reed 2 lines music pretty well, but never be able to put it together.

[@phyllisgordon6577]

This lesson is awesome!

[@MusicManFernando]

Thanks for the great lessons. Although I am a guitar player I am learning a lot about music theory , rhythm , etc. from your videos.

[@SA-bp5kw]

Wow I learned a lot in this video. Thanks.

[@judenehartless5008]

That video was jam packed. Thank you!

[@ojoyful1]

Thank you and also I like your blue lighting in the cubes: )

[@VuNguyen-tu1gv]

Great Lesson!!! Thank you

[@keithrandal2316]

How do you determine the "down beat" or the "dominate" note in order to know which note to play the chord on?

[@colleensmith2038]

Figuring out the key......genius🥳

[@donlessnau3983]

Excellent. Very well done. Thanks a lot.

[@patherbert6684]

Great video can anyone explain what it means when they use this for chords g/c or d/f etc.

[@Wout1337]

9 months later, but maybe still useful: The first letter is the chord that is being played, and the second the bass note below that chord. So C/G (C over G) is a C chord with a G in the bass.

[@jengiolando4159]

What program are u using for the staff, notes, etc?

[@animalcracker2159]

So helpful-thank you!

[@Donna_R.S.1167]

A MAYZing!!!!!!......this is soooooo helpful.....thank you much for sharing

[@rogerdellar]

Brilliant thanks

[@annilanta4583]

Tim, at 16.20 you said the key is c sharp or A minor. Why is it a c sharp and not just c ? Thanks

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

At 16:14 time on video -- you say ‘ Are we in the key of C sharp or a minor?’ It should be in the key of C Majoror a minor

[@TheSunshinedreamer1]

You meant to say we are in the key of C Major, but you accidentally said C#. Great review and a very professional lesson.

[@legoman716]

Why not dur and moll? If one uses Major and minor as keys, what do one call i.e. the chord Fmaj7?

[@ryankimvp4932]

Great lesson, learned SO MUCH

[@dancingcpa1]

Thank , you are very good

[@CornishMiner]

Good stuff Tim. Nice and clear!

[@Abaumanii]

Omg thanks for teaching on how to find the key.

[@marthaudom6543]

Nice tutorial can I learn from you online

[@richardmorris7188]

Brilliant! Great info here. You have a new Sub!

[@hazok4351]

at around 7'10 you said a couple times that that chord in the notation is E major, but E, G and B make E minor, don't they? I got really confused. Or you were ignoring that there was no signaling to indicate that the F# / Gb from the actual E major chord?

[@FunnyBunnyShowNYC]

Fantastic tutorial, Tim.

[@nadindin]

in minute 16:16 you said twinkle was in c sharp instead of saying c major... im listenning :D

[@indianchristian3207]

Sir, I'm from india. How do i play "twinkle twinkle little star" using arpeggio chords ? Thanks.

[@normanlove222]

I like you better than my last piano teacher. She charged me $70 a month. :-) Thank you.

[@mohaimankhaled601]

Thanks a lot for this Video

[@JackC11111]

It is so much easier if you learn all the minor keys first and then look at the second note in the minor chord (1st inversion) and make it major. For example, if I am in the key of Dm and a Dm chord is DFA, then I look at the second note in the chord and realize that the equivalent is F major.

[@royhadley686]

Many thanks

[@jesustephen7895]

Tq bro

[@Β.Καλούδης]

As a guitarist(mainly) I was like why is he referring to those scales only as majors? Minors man,minors hahahaha nice lesson!

[@subnotic5508]

Making alot more sense

[@rukawa23gold]

Very very useful. 👍

[@wodeyaeric5351]

It seems like once the melody is available,chords are.easier to add. How does one then come up with the melody? Where do melodies come from?

[@deadmanswife3625]

Mine come from the words

[@gabrielucros9616]

Thanks

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

So why does our western music start at A and end at G? Why not A to K or any other letter thst is not G?

[@vladcnt]

What app is this?

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Staffpad

[@vladcnt]

Thank you, it's hard to find tutorials same good as yours tutorials. I appreciate your work! Keep up!

[@novusmundi]

I saw something that said this melody was written by Mozart. Is that true?

[@programmiererin]

12:32 In Germany we always start with C so for me starting with A is much more difficult haha...

[@mehrdadsaljoughi920]

great lesson, Thanks!

[@Adks007]

You look like Kendell Roy from the HBO series "Succession" ❤️

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

that is genius

[@johndecicco]

4:55 I find it's easier to read the note written, like C#, and go a half step up.

[@webnet15]

Tim Great info............Mark

[@chimerarageonyou2641]

Omg this is very helpful tho

[@the_allucinator]

And it dawned on me that the Circle of Fifths is extremely usable here.

[@basspig]

I'm up to about the 5 minute point then it gets too complicated after that.

[@deadmanswife3625]

Did you go back and try it again recently

[@basspig]

@@deadmanswife3625 No. I think my mental capabilities are fading at my advanced age.

[@deadmanswife3625]

@@basspig 😟

[@0n596]

I do not understand, very confusing, can you break this up?

[@quickattackfilms7923]

I have no idea what major and minor is

[@QuitoWashington]

Okay, hands down, being able to eyeball the key by looking at the sharps is just gold...

[@dogbone1065]

And if not it may not be, but then it could.

[@firefirefuneralpyre]

Lol so much crap has clicked within my head.brilliant lessons mate.it works with guitar also.thank you again

[@jorgerios6462]

ok i'm starting to get a little just the chords

[@doinityoway]

Dude is it one whole step up or "one note?"

[@kingcedric7120]

Wow. I think the most people won´t play just chords in the left hand. They want to play more complex moving chords and if you do that the chords themselves are completely changing... And just to say "Its often just 1, 4 and 5" is not good too... ist really variating. Also the most people dont want to play one single chord several cycles in a row so thats stupid too... (in this case the f chord)

[@vinuVA]

This must be a basic of basic topic cause the advanced chord placement doesn't work this way you can't just place the first note as a chord for every measure, it doesn't always work that way.

[@slxbeats8146]

Follow the circle of fifths. It will be easy

[@legoman716]

As a non-english speaker, I find the terms sharp and flats confusing. Why tou call A sharp, I call Aiss and A flat, I call Ass.

[@dominicmorris9480]

This title is misleading. I thought you were gonna talk about creating chords to melodies you create. Not whatever this is.

[@GoGetFletch]

I'm sorry but this is so simplistic that it renders the lesson completely useless.

[@sridharsri6409]

Thanks
