The Dumbest Thing About Chords

[@NebularOfficial]

Instructions unclear. My piano is now an escalator.

i bring a Gsus2 7dim5#13 sort of vibe to this video that normal music doesn't really like

[@Redbrothers877]

That's not chords, that's here chords become more complex (minor, major) + it's just the concept of scale man

[@exyl_sounds]

Okay, real nerd hours: Technically, a triad requires a root note, a 3rd, and a 5th. I remove the 5th… it’s not needed for identifying the chord by ear tho, and I love simplicity so fuck it we ball. Sure adding a 5th and some other extensions makes it a proper “chord”, and allows for interesting inversions. But that’s besides my point in the video. The point was to boil down what it takes to identify the chord progression of any song, like a visual representation of the roman numeral notation for chord progressions. I might actually need to redo this video to better illustrate why I think this visual is really cool for understanding the notation (and by extension, understanding music theory) So, in the video, I took the major scale, placed a root note & 3rd, and lowered the root note a couple octaves to give it some bass (i hate basic triads)

[@exyl_sounds]

another reason you don’t really need the 5th in a triad is because there’s already overtones for it in the root

@@exyl_sounds i dident look close enough my bad it was only 2 notes at an octave

EXYL BASS TUTORIAL WHEN

me when scales

[@abugidaiguess]

me when i discover diatonic chords

[@killv.p]

what's the piano sample that you used in this vid? It sounds so good

[@Flarenics]

Chords aren't real

[@blossomsem1colon]

I'm so confused what this video is really supposed to mean? the "chords" are just two notes like 3 octaves apart, are these actually the chords that popular music uses? usually I see chords with like 5 notes and it's all over the place.

[@exyl_sounds]

A triad is made up of a root note, a 3rd, and a 5th. If you take out the 5th like I did, it sounds pretty much the same because the root note’s 3rd overtone is a 5th. I also lowered the root note to be in the bass octaves, so that the chords aren’t just boring triads. I should redo the video and illustrate this better If that sounded very technical, basically I made an extreme simplification of major scale chords.

[@blossomsem1colon]

@@exyl_sounds yeah I just don't understand if you're trying to say that the EXACT chords you were playing were actually in the song cause I don't think they were, most songs are more complex than that? I'm honstly just confused how this video is supposed to help anyone, not trying to be rude.

[@exylsounds]

The "complexity" you're talking about comes from extensions & inversions. They're useful for embellishing a chord, but at the end of the day my simplified chords are an extremely good starting point. Not just for identifying chords in a song as I did here, but also for improving your own songs. I illustrate this in the other videos on my channel

[@blossomsem1colon]

@@exylsounds theres more than just "extensions & inversions" when you're making good chords. Maybe for some people writing out your chords and finding something that sounds nice, before turning it into something more complex could be a good way to start?

[@ziett.]

i want that piano preset

[@tywizdom]

This shit wildin 😂

[@fatgamertim4544]

They're major third intervals, not chords (like half a triad lol), and alot of pop songs use them as certain embellishments for chords I'm pretty sure

[@exylsounds]

yes they're third intervals, which aren't officially considered "chords". This is because if you go by typical music theory guidelines, you NEED that extra note (a fifth interval) to call it a "Triad". BUT: If you take into consideration the Harmonic series (one of the fundamentals of music), then you would notice that there's actually THREE loud perfect fifth "overtones" built-into that root note. Specifically, the 3rd, 6th, and 12th overtones, and much more if you keep going. Basically, that "major third interval" you're talking about, sounds pretty much the exact same as a triad. It's my simplified way to identify a chord in the I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi chord progression (which is what this video is about). I also space them out by 2 octaves because it adds some nice bass to it. Triads that aren't spaced out are SUPER boring

Music doesnt have to be more complicated than it is to be good

[@icasizak]

Man that’s really funny 😂 could touch consider making a video about chord progressions with the circle of fifths?
