How to build CHORD PROGRESSIONS! // with Logic Pro 11 Chord Track

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

CORRECTION: At around the 14:14 mark I say that you can transpose MIDI notes by an octave with Shift + Up/Down. This is actually Shift + Option + Up/Down. Brain fart moment. In this video I explain and demonstrate how to build chord progressions. I cover the fundamentals of major and minor keys/scales, triads, triad quality, and diatonic triads and 7th chords, both in major and minor keys. I use the Logic Pro 11 chord track as an assistive tool; however, the chord track is not required to learn. Enjoy!

Thank you so much. I have a plugin called "Scaler 2". It is very cool and the chord progressions and functions are incredible. Thanks again.

I asked a corner of Guitarists on Threads what was the best way to pick up Logic. And handful cited you as mandatory viewing. The Intro Series (for 10 and 11) benefits from the editing where people need to see where you are clicking. This sort of high level view and working in real time doesn’t need it. Totally easy to follow now that I have some context. Probably best to shout out an intro video if people want details on the basics of where everything is located and what it does. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I have seen many other channels try to explain this and I honestly had no ability to grasp what they were trying to share. For some reason the way you explain things makes sense at least on a level that makes me think I can process this in time and try things on my own. Thank you again.

Your videos has always been helpful. Thank you so much

[@TimGonzalez]

I really enjoy this format and honestly I used to read sheet music a zillion years ago but had forgotten pretty much everything. THIS is amazing and makes me happy I'm still able to learn "stuff" Thank you so very much! Peace

[@hawktails]

Thank you for all the Logic Pro content! ❤

[@fallenleaf24]

I had no idea this was a thing! this is brilliant

[@mikeswell9021]

This is some high quality LPX right here! Thanks 🙏

Great intro to harmony. It would great if you could follow this video up with the next logical step - talking about the tri-tone and the tonic, subdominant and dominant roles the diatonic chords play. Then talk about chord substitutions when the different chords play the same role (i.e., contain the same tri-tone note).

Would love this!

[@trocchiettoski]

i understand you are a real musician and also that should not speak about third part plugins, but believe me I am having a lot of fun combining session player (also on the basis of your amazing course) with a popular third party vst that create chord progressions and make them arpeggiate as i prefer(even combining the arpeggiator, and other midi effects), and a synth also popular that offers the possibility to generate random melody using his sequencer. People think that using these tools will keep them away from music theory but is the other way around for newbe because if one is curious and is having fun want to learn more

Thank you brother ❤❤❤

[@blueser100]

Love your channel. Watched several of your videos on chord track. Still not clear how chord track is better than Unison.

[@krhodessch]

I say that the only thing I got in you intro was basically if you're gonna be a music composer/producer, you need to at least have enough pride in your craft to at minimum learn basic music theory......and I totally agree.....

[@Dr.Anomaly]

Can you do a video on the session player in logic? I am trying to customize the progressions it makes but they dont make it very clear.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

I have an entire course on the session players in LP11. kzbin.info/aero/PLXmi76euGSyz2L1LohEz3Nf_A9wEOH9jM

15:15 Again… it would be awesome if Logic allowed one to enter in Roman numerals for chords. (Or NNN)

[@amd5471]

Hey Josh! AT 23:15 you click a note and duplicate it an octave down, seemingly with one click. How did you do that?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

After making the video I realized that was just a mistake, I had put two notes right on top of each other. So I transposed one down (with shift-option-down), but the note underneath still remained. I do not believe there is a shortcut to duplicate notes while transposing. I usually just hold option and click and drag the note down.
