Queen: Crazy Little Thing Called Love // Song Insight (music theory)

See how Freddie Mercury wrote this chord progression using the theory of harmony. You'll learn how to play "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on both piano and guitar -- and, more importantly, understand how the song was actually written.
Nerd alert: It's in D Ionian ... with borrowed chords from the parallel Aeolian and Lydian modes. (Watch the video to see exactly what I mean.) Here, you'll get inside Queen's collective head to gain special insight that will boost your own skills as a songwriter.

Songwriting is fun when you can actually see what you're doing. I use the familiar patterns of color to explain music theory so you can write songs.

It's like you have an army doing the graphics and motion graphics to make music theory so much easier to understand for all the videos you make. Thank you for all the hard work, Mike.

I'm really interested to find out why Bb can also be played as A# .

[@accardijunior]

Bb and A# share the same notes but with different names depending on the context (Key), this is called Enharmony. In this particular song it modulates to D Aeolian (D minor) as explained in the video so the proper note/chord name is Bb.
