You are aware: music causes serious chronicle addiction. You’ll end up with some dangerous infernal music instrument glued in your hands and you’ll be (happy) ruined for the rest of you life! You’ll develop an insane attraction to every instrument, and actually you’ll get attracted by anything that produces sound in general… included your neighbors’ farts that you’ll define “vibrant, thick anal-brass waves” and use them in your sampler! You’ll never be free again to listen the radio or going to a concert without showing the signs of your fatal addiction. You’ll tap the tempo on everything. You’ll play your instrument in the air without having it in front of you. You’ll talk about cadence, riffs, beats, and start to use Italian words like Arpeggio, legato, trillo. You’ll have to put you hands on every instrument you see. No questions: you’ll feel the need to “have” it, posses it. Remember : all the people that encountered Music in their life and studied an instrument, died with the music inside. Nobody is able to remove it from your system! A man called Beethoven kept playing music even after he become deft!! Can you understand how much music is dangerous?? Do not start! Keep listen to it like the “average”. Avoid this kind of channel made by serious Musicians with the capital M that give you precious tips on how to “abuse” of this drug. Do not touch a drum, a guitar and never never never never touch a piano. That 88 “buttons” will sign your life. You’ll never be the same!!

I'm from Seville, the capital of Andalusia, and this is a great explanation about the andalusian cadence. It's very used in flamenco, but you can also use it in other styles of music to get an exotic sound. It's great that in other parts of the world there are people who are interested in out culture and our music! 😊

I mean...sure when you have tools and know how to use them it's "easy". However its easy to take your tool kit and musical knowledge forgranted and forget how it is to be a beginner or intermediate level player still struggling to get basic concepts of rhythm and tones. I have played about 22 years and I am really starting starting blossom into a pretty damn good composer. All the theory I have learned in pieces over the years is coming together to make a complete picture. I try to remind myself what it was like to NOT hear things how I do. I would refrain from calling it easy. Maybe I would say it becomes more accessible.

To me, that chord progression sounds EXACTLY like Van Halen's "Right Now" with the piano intro. It even sounds like its the same key and progression. I guarantee Right Now uses the Andalusian cadence. In fact it even sounds like its in the same exact key as the one in D minor that you played. It also gave me some Gerude Valley vibes from Ocarina of Time.

@@robosing225 Modulation is taking your key, and changing the tonal center, but all the notes remain the same. If you're playing C Major (Ionian), and then decide you want the tonal center to be E, you now have E Phrygian. Same notes, different tonal center. Replacing/borrowing a couple notes or chords is generally going to be called modal interchange more than a full modulation. That is, unless it's replacing so much of the original key that it begins to sound like the tonal center has changed. This gets a little fuzzy and subjective, but it's a good rule of thumb to listen for.

@@ossiehalvorson7702 Bless you for elucidating that part of music for me. So playing over a C major chord progression, playing a melody in Ionian would mean the tone is centered around C. But deciding to play 4th position over the same chord progression would be a model change--playing Lydian, the same notes as Ionian with a different tonal center? I heard playing the Intervals, Lydian's E and F#, B and C, give Lydian its Flavor. But chords can also have modal flavors (using a sharp 4th instead of the natural 4th in a C Major prog for example.) Is this right? Someone told me modes like Dorian, Phrygian, and Aeolian sound good for minor chords (over a Dm or Em, etc.) Can you play a Dorian, Phryg, Aeolian mode over a major chord as long as you avoid landing on the wrong notes, or is it best just to play scales that have all the notes in the current chord being played? Same with fancy modes like Phyrgian Major or Lydian #2, is it best to play those scales over a harmonic minor chord progression ONLY since the notes correlate? Thank you immensely for your wisdom and time :)

Oh noo Jake, you just gave away my big secret to creating floaty, moody, "out there" tracks. Sampling Terence McKenna lines over repetitive and slow chord changes. It's been my trick for over 10 years lol. Seriously though, another fantastic video. Your videos are like teaching old tone deaf dogs (like me) how to not only sit, but to sing sweet sweet harmonies while doing it. Metaphorical ones, I'm still a terrible singer. But with every video you provide another invaluable piece to the big puzzle that is music. Thank you.

What i always do with orchestral strings in my tracks is start with them low only playing the bass notes then slowly adding on top of it. I typically have 5 group strings and 3 lead strings. Leads are always gonna play high end stuff, and the group strings will spell out the chordage the most. I always pan them, too. The most sub group string and the main lead string are always dead center. Everything else is either panned left or right and will always have one neighbor panning to the same amount in the opposite direction. I also adjust the volumes accordingly so that it sounds full and balanced before i do any post processing. Works every time! Also sounds BEAUTIFUL if you get some extensions mixed in there and if you have a few drone notes. I typically like adding the 1 and the 7 of the tonic as drone notes. Helps bring some variety and fullness without sounding out of whack.

The bonus solo made me chuckle. A really common chord progression in Japanese game and anime music is IV, V, iii, vi. Your track is in A minor, but if you look at it in the relative C Major, you get that very genre appropriate move. That's helpful to remember too - a loop can also be reinterpreted within the context of its key and related keys, for stringing progressions together!

This is so dang good. Among the most knowledgeable teacher on KZbin. The only thing that I’ve noticed in your compositions here- no hook. Listeners need something to latch onto. Something to return to after the solo. In my experience, hooks come from your head. Listen to what you have and hum a repeatable motif that comes to your head. I’ve personally only ever come across hooks by accident when playing, but if you just close your eyes & listen to the foundation of what you have, a hook will arise from the back of your mind.

Your guitar skills are amazing, and that's okay, because I never aimed that high. Your teaching is pure gold, and that's okay too, because I am learning lots from you. But seeing you conjure up effortless, fantastic productions in your DAW, in a multitude of genres, just like that - now that's not okay, that makes me super jealous! I usually spend three nights in a row trying to find a suitable kick and snare for my track and can't, and give up. You need to find one thing you're not good at, Jake, and share it with the world :-)

Try working more quickly. Make a decision and let that decision shape your next decision, instead of trying to make "the right" decision. The decision BECOMES right when situated in the context of other decisions that work well together with it. That's the lesson I take from Jake's production.

this is precisely why, and bear with me, the PSP music programming "game" (essentially, a hyper-intuitive handheld portable DAW with the ease and expeditious efficiency of video game controls -shudder not, for MIDI export doth exist...) "Beaterator" is one of the greatest creatively extemporaneous songwriting devices I have ever put to use. I kid you not. I swear my very soul on this proclamation. If you can muster up an old PSP and a copy of the "game", untold creative tangentially intertwined expression awaits. go forth, ye unsavory heathens, and unleash thine unfettered voicings. or don't. but do. doooo iiiiiittt!!!

I know this is an old comment, but if you're still doing this - it sounds like you're bikeshedding, investing all your time in minor details instead of getting on with the main task of writing some stuff! Try imposing some time limits on yourself - say 5 mins max to pick out some drum sounds, and ideally you'll end up with some go-to choices that work in different situations. Then step away and move onto the next part! You can always refine that stuff later - and realistically, the music you come up with and the final mix might change what you want in the end, so it's good to not invest too much time in those early experiments. But if you have these tendencies and behaviours, it's good to be aware of them, and work out a way of doing things that works for you (and the stuff you have to avoid or be real careful about). Imposing time limits can be super helpful for a lot of people, and limitations inspire creativity, so try boxing yourself in and see what you come up with! Kinda like Jake's doing here by using a fixed progression and scales

Nice video Jake and very informative. I've come to sometimes find in a minor key the 5 chord in minor is the better choice. Particularly if the melody contains the 7th (or third of the 5 minor chord). My jazz roots often have me wanting to embellish the 5 chord with flat 9s or sharp 9s to cover that melody note, but many times the simplest solution is the best. Keep up the good work.

Thank you and I totally agree! The minor v can be very sad and beautiful, and it keeps things from getting too "exotic". The song Seniorita by Shawn Mendez and Camillo Cabello is a pop style with tradional latin vibes, yet always plays the minor v instead of the major V. It really keeps the song sort of forlorn, and never gets too fiesty, but still has all those latin vibes.

It's quite common in flamenco to exchange the Emajor for an Eminor, or to switch between the tw0 depending on what flavour you want, and sometimes to play one or two notes of G before sesolving to the Gsharp to finish the song
