Check out my previous ear training video on Major key chord progressions: • How to recognise chord...
Relative pitch is a skill that any musician can learn and it allows you to identify the chord progression of a song just by ear! Today we'll look at some of the most likely chords you'll encounter in minor key songs and how to recognise them just by ear!
The outro music to this video is my track "Mothers Day" which you can hear in full on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJ... 🎶

This might be my favorite video of yours yet. And it just reinforces what a treasure you are for the world’s understanding of music moving forward. No snobbiness, no prizing of lofty concepts over crowd-pleasing pop devices. You just break everything down into such relatable pieces that it makes me enjoy thinking about music theory. Now I’ll finally be able to hear a piece of music in a film and go - that sounds spooky, they’re [maybe] going from the minor tonic to the minor six chord! Thank you 🙏 EDIT after being humbled by the quiz at the end: I still have a lot of work to do but am grateful for the examples to study 😅

While IV may not be as common as V, it is common in Doric contexts. I mention this because you brought up Dorian in another context. bII may be borrowed just do avoid a diminished chord, so in Hocus Pocus by Focus when Thijs goes up the scale towards the end of each "verse", he always does bII. In terms of functional harmonics, I remember that we used to use the term "parallel tonic", in major it'd be vi and in minor bIII, which is why bIII feels like home in a minor setting, it's the parallel tonic. (it's in the "same but opposite" position in the circle of fifths). Lastly, Picardy third, in my ears, a recent use of the Picardy third (and the IV chord as the song seems to flirt with Dorian a lot), is Australia's 2023 Eurovision entry "Promise" by Voyager. The last 3 chords are bVI - bVII - I, so an æolian cadence ending on a Picardy third.

In the Latin jazz classic Trofeo de Bolos, literally the second chord you hear is a diminished chord. The song switches back and forth between C minor and C major, and starts in C minor. The first 2 chords in this song are C minor, and D diminished.

Good job man! Just to point out that you are referring to the "natural" minor scale. If it was the ditonical : the 2nd and 7th are diminished and the 3rd is a augmented cord . For instance on A minor the III is an augmented C - E - G# (used in Mozart Requiem intro) which is actually rare in classical music

the Muse example of a major II after a bVI is also an example of a secondary dominant use of major II, because the major II leads immediately to a major V (which is the primary dominant of the minor i chord in this song). I would rather see an example where there is a vamp of i-II , but can't think of any pop song using that right now. It just begs the i-II-V resolution ;)

The verses in Nirvana’s Pennyroyal Tea have that i-bVII movement going on. About a Girl’s verses are I-bIII back and forth. It’s interesting but in the chorus both songs seem to go somewhere else and outside of that. And I’m pretty sure I’ve also heard Silverchair used that bV. A song like Black Tangled Heart possibly? Their albums Diorama and Young Modern became more harmonically sophisticated and melodic than their earlier heavy riff based sound. The ending of And I Love Her is another good example of ending a minor song on a major tonic.

My favourite example of the ii chord in minor (which I'll maintain is the same thing as vii in major) is from a French song called Du côté de chez Swann, which is based on Marcel Proust's novel of the same name (Swann's Way in English). It happens several times in the chorus, and you really feel its sort of dreamy whimsical edge. As a side note, the chorus also uses the James Bond progression. Edit: and for the II chord in minor, my favourite example is from Those Were the Days. Or maybe Arabian Nights, I'm not sure, both are super cool.

Great video as always! As a beginner, I was wondering if you know by heart all the (minor) keys, or if you use the relative major. For example, when you play D minor, do you go through the relative major (F) in order to know there is a B flat ? Or do you « instinctively » know there is a B flat ? I find it easier to learn the sharps and flats for the major keys, and then make a connection with the relative minor, but do you manage to know all the keys without thinking too much about it when you’re experienced ?

He does it to please the ludicrous people from a bygone age that refuse to accept that minor scales and Arabic numbers have been invented. Some classical music snobs will insist that a 1-6 in A minor (A minor to F major) is actually a i-bVI in A major. They label the F as a bVI because in A *major* the sixth degree of the scale is F *sharp*, so to play an F natural in A major, you have to flatten the sixth. This confusion could be solved if we just decided that all scales are major (e.g. "A minor doesn't exist; it's just C major") and that an Am to F change is a vi-IV (6-4) in C major, or we agreed that A minor is a legitimate key and that Am-F is a simple 1-6 (i-VI) in minor. Instead, the classical nerds go with something that's far more complicated and confusing, because they hate modern life and think we should all still speak Latin and use little sharp and flat symbols and Roman numerals instead of integers and modern words.

@@AutPen38 And so I guess you are saying that if we use the Arabic numerals e.g. 6 - 4 rather than the Roman numerals then you just have to know that a 6 chord is a minor chord and a 4 chord is a major chord.

@@party-sy2tk To be fair, the system David mentioned seems logical, precise, and useful for analysis of long-form classical music that features tons of chords and occasional modulations of the scale. e.g. If Beethoven wrote a "Symphony in A" it would use A major as the tonic ("the one") and could use F# minor ("the sixth") as one of the harmonies, but Ludwig might change/modulate the scale for a sad section where he uses A minor and F major for the harmonies, before going back to the A major scale to finish the piece. In that scenario, it makes sense to describe the Am-F section of a song in A as i-bVI, because Am is the minor version of the tonic chord (A major), and F is a flatted major version of the sixth degree (F# minor) of the original A major scale. The lower case i would clearly indicate that you're changing to the minor version of the tonic (A), and the upper-case bVI would mean "instead of playing the usual sixth chord of A major, which is the F# minor you've been using for the last five minutes, flatten it to F and play it as a major chord for this section". In modern loop-based pop/dance, however, modulations of scales rarely occur, so we don't really need Roman numerals or the flat/sharp signs. If someone says "I love this new hip hop song. It just loops round A minor to F for 80 bars", it can be easily understood as a "1-6 in A minor", (aka "i-VI in A minor"), or a "6-4 or vi-IV in C major". If the bassline stayed rooted on F and I wanted to be opaque, I could describe it as a "3-1 in F lydian", but it doesn't really matter, as all these descriptions just mean the chords go from A minor to F major. I think most musicians can remember that the 6th chord in a major scale is a minor chord and the sixth is a major chord in a minor scale, but I think that when we say things like "It's that 1 5 6 4 pattern again" it's important to specify whether the scale we're using is major, minor, lydian or whatever. Most people are more familiar with major scales, but many others (e.g. producers of house/techno music) routinely work with minor scales, or one of the rarer modes (lydian, phrygian, mixolydian etc), so you have to specify the key/scale alongside the numbers. e.g. "It's a 1 5 6 4 in C major" or "It's a 3 7 1 6 in A minor" both produce the same chords (C G Am F).

I've allways Wondered, how do you even know if you're hearing a major or minor key? Couldn't you easily be mistakenly hearing the bIII as the root, shifting the whole thing to a major?

Great video. Theres also the i minor going to an I major in order to resolve to a iv minor. Can be heard in folk songs from the Balkans, some Fado songs etc

bVI and vi need to be specifically stated so there’s no debate, ever. Theory is typically referenced to the major scale, so this should be a no brainer for the musically educated. Upper and lower case roman numerals need to be used to signify major and minor harmony.

I asked this the last video and I don’t know if anybody saw it, but could someone use ai to separate the vocals from a day in the life and see if it can differentiate the voices enough to determine who was actually singing the ahhhh section?

Oh that's not dumb. I'd love to see it. I still think it's most likely Paul, as it's too high to be comfortably in John's range, but while no ever mentions it, it could be George as the tone of his voice was like an in between of Paul and John. Still probably Paul.

It can't have been George. He was using every fibre of his being to play the maracas; the most complicated and difficult instrument to master.

A very similar feeling to the flat 5 is the minor flat 5 in major key at the beginning of New World Symphony (and given the name of the symphony i see why the other-worldly sound)

I do the fretboard equivalent of button bashing but still come out with some decent riffs. Love these videos all the same

There are many metal and rock songs in minor keys that blow the roof off and don’t sound sombre at all.

The fact that the major version of the V chord appears in both major and minor keys makes it a good pivot chord for people writing music--if you're in a minor key and you want to modulate to the major key, you can end up on the major V chord and then go the major I chord and continue in the major key, or similarly in the other direction.

I’ve always found minor keys more inspiring to write in. That switch to a major V creates such a satisfying resolution…and if you pair it with a secondary dominant II it’s even better. Major keys just feel…dull most of the time.
