Chord Progressions with NO MUSIC THEORY! (LOGIC PRO X)

[@woffles_8864]

this man has played us for fools: he ended up shoving 30 minutes of music theory gold down our throats without us even knowing it!

[@Richard-ob5dl]

This video answered sooo many composition and arranging questions for me while helping me understand midi production. Thank you

[@ajotcole]

I think this is the first video that helped to get me out of my learners block situation. Thank you so much!

[@jaycole1900]

This video is GOLD! And to think you're giving all this content for free. Bless you

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

In this video I'll show you an easy method of creating Major and Minor chord progressions without any music theory knowledge -- other than knowing the names of the white keys on the piano!

I go for long stints without writing any music, but then I watch one of your videos...and I'm instantly inspired to break out the Macbook and go to town! :) Love your stuff! Thank you for all you do! :)

[@hjnewsom]

I want to be honest for a second, and I hope you see this……I was looking for a video like this like I look for my glasses in the morning because I can’t see a damn thing. And I stumbled, literally stumble on this vid, and I couldn’t find the sub button fast enough….my goodness brutha!!! Excellent…! Thank you very much for your work and this video. God bless! And good luck! Cheers!

[@TravisLee33]

Needed a refresher thanks!

[@EnergyDubz410]

Great video ur honestly the top person i look to get solid info about my daw and how to do things in it!

[@tomspallone1868]

Best visual representation of theory ever! Subbed.

[@danteshelby2990]

thank you so much, josh. for everything

[@freyfrenzy]

sweet track. cool video, too! thank you!!

[@Amanda.xo.]

17:17 in and he tells us to remb the number of the cords we used for later...when adding bass etc... LOL GREAT LOL :)

[@theintrnationlst]

Great vid, thanks for making it! I didn't know the shortcuts for moving notes up and down, just that is a huge help.

[@knuteriknattochdag]

Thank you! This was very inspiring! Bought your recomended course about music theory for daw musicians and will dig into it.

[@kingadrimusic8102]

A FREAKING GENIUS 👑👑👑👑

[@dreusc666]

bruh your a teaching god

[@ICantEvenFunction]

Helpful information. Thank you so much!

[@TimothyDark]

This was awesome! Thank you so much for the lesson! 🔥🔥🔥

[@raymondlooi]

Just 💕 it! Thanks for your Patience, Joshua!

[@evieruth01]

This is great!

[@tigerpdj]

I subbed and liked! you deserve it! keep sharing hack tips as well thanks all the time bro!

[@7775Kevin]

Great video! Thanks

[@drluxe5641]

Cool video especially for beginners!

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

Wouldn’t it be cool if Logic Pro 11 had all the music theory and chord stuff Studio One has (but better).

[@handoromper7987]

Do you have studio one?

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

Hando Romper no. I’ve been looking at it for a while- but it would be a little crazy. The app Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro sorted out my theory problems much cheaper. But still waiting on something awesome from Logic 11 (and hopefully it’s free)

[@titovalasques]

The chord track with the chord suggester feature in Cubase are amazing. If that was available in Logic I wouldn’t need cubase.

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

@@titovalasques check out what Studio One does, it is so much more powerful than a chord picker. Every Daw should be copying it (except maybe its because Studio One has Melodyne integration- that other Daws don’t have access to that technology.

[@titovalasques]

@@alekjwrgnwekfgn I was unaware that Studio One suggested chords for your progressions (and I'm not talking about the chord picker - I think it's called the chord assistant). I know Studio One is much more powerful in therms of it capability of manipulating audio tracks to match the chord track.

[@RevilloMusic]

Thank you! This explained me so much in a way to understand it easily! I was looking for something like this since a long time! I'm definitely going to check your macProVideo tutorial, since I have a library pass.

[@tamam9503]

This video is so helpful! thank yoou

[@Maros_Mari]

Great help man, thanks alot for this explanation which was very useful and to the point.

[@Michael_RareZebra]

Just starting out here so while I will learn more technicals, this is quite helpful. Thank you.

[@saschaappel2091]

appreciate the video my dude

[@abadi51637]

Hi Josh, this is another amazing learning tutorial! I really like the Divine Waves esx24 instruments you put together. I don't see the link as to where to get it. Where can I find it or can you provide the link? Thanks a million Josh!!!

[@danielronsoistudio1248]

thanks for sharing tutorial...good tutorial

[@handoromper7987]

Awesome video

[@adexd139]

💯 explanation 😊🫡

[@Antzeid]

maybe you could use midi note labels in the future? otherwise. omg you just explained how they changed. skip a note! so important! I dont think ill ever forget that. thank you

[@robertmichael6832]

Thank You!!!

[@kyptoo7915]

damn U Plugged for dis Thank U

[@eugenijuskonysevas8266]

Thanks

[@lukeyboy84]

Good video

[@minrealman]

Thank you sir for making such video was very helpful

[@eugenijuskonysevas8266]

Hello,what comand deactivate or activate notes?thanks

[@espenhalvorsen1780]

Really helpful:)

[@CRASS2047]

Non related question.... can I save all of the audio track channel strips from the Beck demo project in Logic, then use them on my own software instrument tracks? Or are audio track channel strips only able to be saved and used on other audio tracks? Basically I emptied out the regions in a copy of the Beck project, and saved it as a template. Unfortunately, the entire thing is audio tracks.

[@singingice]

You forgot the link for the Divine Waves Set! I am definitely interested in that and will think about buying it in the future :)

[@Snail_Shell]

Where is the link to the Music Theory for DAW Musicians Course you offer? I don't see it in the description. Thanks.

[@Snail_Shell]

Thanks! :D

[@Snail_Shell]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy Is there a precursor to this course? Thanks

[@refraktr6223]

maybe its a dumb question but how does the root note stays the same when you drop down the other notes an octave ?

[@Wildkomments]

How do you know which notes to pick in the scale?

[@CRASS2047]

A chord track in 11 would be great!

[@MesaTheAalfa]

Where's the link to his course?

[@redpillpusher]

"chord progressions NO MUSIC THEORY" ...then proceeds with music theory 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Understanding note names, and the visual intervals between notes in a major scale, in the most basic way I can possibly explain, is not music theory. Do you see a music staff anywhere in this video? The problem is people think that music fundamentals are "theory". They are not. They are the essential building blocks of music. Unless you only want to make music with pre-made loops and samples, or by trial and error plunking notes on your keyboard, a little bit of music fundamentals are required.

[@McGyver008]

Apart from your surely good intentions... finding a reasonable chord progression without a n y theory is simply tedious job, sorry. It would be much better to simply convince some interested person of the gain coming from learning some theory stuff. Of course one can either find something by trial-and-error or simply on the venture, but... the less one knows the longer it takes to get a n y reasonable result. And i f there are results, mostly they still sound weird, wrong or ... boring. You personally k n o w music theory and make heavy use of it. Imagine to have n o knowledge... your music would n e v e r be like the music of a "professional". Right, everyone c a n make music, but only skilled and experienced persons will make mostly g o o d music (BTW... getting experience is nothing than an intuitive learning process of music theory simply by realizing how it sounds). So to all those who are interested: As long as you're too lazy to learn: Either take a l o t of time to enhance your music or... live with poor results.
