[@ohhminik9681]

I mean you just say huhhhh and then press keys. If it’s the first note that’s the root Note so it’s the key. Then listen if it’s happy or sad. Major or minor.

0:28 this guy just taught a programmer how to rename multiple files 😂

[@kocbilo]

Well, a programmer doesn't have to know this necessarily. You can do the same on cmd ren +.+ newname.+ (Using + instead of * here cause KZbin removes them)

[@nehoy463]

BRO. 😂 I'm a programmer too, Java, C#, HTML/CSS, SQL, and just now found out that you can bulk name files. Simon is the goat. LMAO

[@t6amygdala]

I’ve been using windows my entire life and do a lot of creative work on it and also have some programming experience and I still didn’t know that

[@shadowpumpboi8851]

You should do some theory vids, like the easiest way to memorize scales and chords, as well as how to train your ears

[@ServidaMusic]

I did a chord one if you haven't seen that

[@shadowpumpboi8851]

Yeah I've seen that one (great job on it too BTW) I would just also love to see something that explains even more music theory for example, in your chord vid, your chord progression was C, Am, Dm, and G, and when you explained passing chords, you explained that you could jump between C and Am with an Em to spice up the progression. This probably makes sense to a lot of people, but I don't know enough theory to understand why this specific chord fits. Would you be able to explain this, or show me where you learned theory, so that I can have a better understanding of your musical choices? I don't mean to be troublesome, but I am only giving this constructive criticism because you are currently one of the best beatmaking youtubers out there and I want you to be able to master the art of teaching Much love Simon!

[@ServidaMusic]

The only reason it "fits" is because it sounds good. All you have to do is experiment and try it out

[@diymusicbiz]

@@shadowpumpboi8851 I haven't seen Simon's vid on chords but when speaking diatonically, meaning all chords made from the scale, you're going to run into this pattern (I'll use M for Major and m for minor) M m m M m dim (also a minor) This is also read as I ii iii IV V vi vii* CEG DFA EGB FACE GBD ACE BDF Notice that the 1 chord C and the iii chord Em share 2 notes (E and G). Likewise Chord IV and ii share 2 notes (FA). While you can substitute any chord you like, subbing the 1 and iii or ii and IV are going to be easier because that have a bit in common. I'll let you look at the V and vii* chord your self :) chords 1, 3 and 6 are known as tonic chords chords 2 and 4 = Sub Dominant Theory can be a rabbit hole but fun to learn and comes in handy when analyzing and breaking down music.

[@t6amygdala]

For me, the easiest way to memorise scales is to just use them a lot. I have d minor memorised because most of my songs are in it (and also it’s pretty easy)

[@escapetheloops]

Surprisingly clear and to the point video with no bs. That's what tutorials should be. Thanks

[@StayxStrapped]

Seriously bro, you break down everything that most channels don't and always responding to your fans with dope advice. Its producers like you, Ave Mcree, Paul Allen, Nick mira who gives inspiration to many. Much respect

[@ServidaMusic]

Good list

[@leavealegacymusic]

You are truly one of the top music theory educated producers on the internet, I actually started learning music theory a few days ago inspired by your level of knowledge! Keep it up! 👌

[@ServidaMusic]

Thanks man we got a lot more on the way

I learned piano and saxophone completely by ear and still in this video you were able to teach me more effective methods of detecting pitch. Simon you’re truly amazing

[@TheRealestIdealist]

📢 1:14 *How Do You Determine The Most "Stable" Chord?* Can you go deeper into this please? What makes the 3rd chord in this the MOST STABLE??? Thanks!

[@pentabitsmusic]

I know I'm late but, stable chord means when you go to it you can stop and it will feel fine. if you stop at a nonstable chord it feels incomplete. the stable chord in C major is well, C major. in A minor its A minor, In G major its G major, etc.
