Is it easy for you to find a key of a song?

[@Mecagothits]

In some type of Tracks ya

[@Petch85]

Nop... I use sides like tunebat... tunebat.com/Info/We-re-Good-Dua-Lipa/1diS6nkxMQc3wwC4G1j0bh F# Major nice

[@mp_hmo]

nah but i use auto key to see if im right or not, 8/10 im wrong lol

[@Amplifimusic]

@@Petch85 tunebat is a godsend

[@maxwell8tre]

Me yesterday : eh no I’ve never been able to do it. Like ever. Seriously, why are you even asking? Are you trying to make me feel bad?! Me after watching this vid + 24hrs : I’ve just jammed along to rose rouge and 4 other tracks in the right key with single notes and basic chords! Honestly, that’s amazing I pure feel like I owe you money. Cheers Isabelle!

[@Loucielago]

been working on music for years but always fumbled when it came to this. super good, well-explained video that I can actually understand for once on this. thank you for your help!

[@Xsuperkraft]

Wonderful video - lots of fun to watch while being very comprehensive Thank you for the effort!

[@spiritonic]

I can't believe something as simple as humming would actually help me. Thanks so much for this video!!! Now I can jam with my friends without feeling awkward!

[@avalonpractice]

Love your sense of humor. And great explanation thank u

[@bobrose762]

Shut the front door! Thank you for breaking down the key issues of finding a Key!!! Keep up the great work.

[@Genolexis]

I absolutely love this channel and crew. She is so cool

[@kadalathomas2993]

You are a great teacher, thank you so much I personally find the key of a song from the melody of the song

[@nicola.terraroli]

love it❤ so much interesting information and you're funny too

[@ChrisMills-AmbientSpace]

That was cool. Thank you for showing me a way to find what key things are in.

[@maxwell8tre]

Something I’ve never been able to do I now feel (and I will practice this!) I can make a go of. Like the first 4 minutes 50 of this video made more sense to me than a lifetime of explanation in passing face to face. I do a bit of spare time production in dance music coming from a DJ background. While I’ve always been aware of scales and chords and keys, it’s never made a whole lot of sense. That’s two vids from LANDR in just as many days which have caused a bit of a revelation, an aha! moment if you like, in my brain. Peggy’s Scales and now this excellent video on identifying a key and laying it out on a piano roll. Top job, a serious thank you!

[@LANDRmusic]

Hey Max, This is such a nice comment. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

[@DJGoadman]

Fun video! For some reason, my Antares just won't work on garageband. At least my Landr Fx suite works, which I'm super happy with.

[@inderlalbahadoersing7673]

Great. Very useful. Thnx. Btw, works (only) for major and straight minor scales. Not for melodic and harmonic minor scales.

[@portioncontrol]

merci!

Thanks Angel!

[@truetrend2860]

Thankyou mam

[@mysterygirltarot]

so if the key is b, the the major and minor notes would be b to b and g# to g#?

[@Arbigale]

THIS IS VIDEO👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@REviewOFF07]

I love her surprising words 😂 😍😍😍

[@TMOrtseambeats]

I. appreciate . Y'all .

[@LANDRmusic]

Glad to hear it

[@1FACEFIRST]

It’s must be the swingers pineapple that’s makes her so good.

[@amitghosh3938]

thankyou mam

[@LANDRmusic]

Thank you too

[@cdr6412]

I like you style🙂

[@HaharuRecords]

There are different modes of scales including pentatonic/harmonic/melodic so on .So what about those, still we are able to figure it out! Because you are identifiying through just one note, in case the song might be harmonised in different scale rather than melody..!

[@DLStarbuck]

first part of "We're Good" had me thinking - Hey Mr. tambourine man play a song for me.

[@kalandarshafi7229]

Wow

[@Johnnylaurelli]

6:38 - G# What do I win?

[@phil6899]

Wow! Belladonna is a musician too??

[@ShanHexis]

how love her... her humour ❤

[@LANDRmusic]

Thanks Shan!

Yessssss!!!!.... No need of music school bcoz > is here to save us ! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😍😍

[@teresmajor7956]

She must be some kind of musical prodigy

[@thinkognito344]

mind blasted! I'm tone deaf this is great

[@samuelemego2917]

Thank you for the lesson... What software are you using with your computer

[@samuelemego2917]

You used in drawing the note from C to C

[@xerxesgoesbrr]

@@samuelemego2917 logic pro x

[@dannyroberts4593]

Can I use your voice in a production?

[@Louis-yg3qr]

It's quite confusing for me to determine if the some songs are Sad or Happy. Like in this video, the song used as an example sounded sad to be but to you it was happy (same goes for Levitating by Dua, to me: Happy, but it's in F minor). In such cases, what should I do?

[@homeroenelinfierno]

I also thought it was more on the "sad" side, so I guessed d# minor, which has the same set of notes as F# major. So maybe you're not wrong, its just a different way of seeing it.

[@justinodinaka7952]

Key and note are they the same

[@southpark4151]

True! ----- 1:12 ..... sure, you're gonna hit a few walls ..... like 1:02

[@SPJBR]

It’s easy to hear major or minor using a piano… go four half steps up from the key you’re in and if that sounds right with the song it’s Major. If three half steps up sounds right the song is in a Minor key.

[@eltontrebajo]

My dumbass was like “Impressive” the first 15 seconds 😂

[@JTFuller]

Excellent. She's funny.

[@robhammond7118]

You need a ticket to Hollywood. You are genuinely funny and a very good teacher

[@greatkcreationworldwide2951]

u made the beat your self?

[@2beablessing2012]

She is amazing 😉

[@LANDRmusic]

She's definitely the best.

[@Petch85]

Is there a free alternative to autokey? And i hope the next video is how to fint the time signatur, cause i have made a guitar riff and I am no able to figure out what time signatur I am in. I might just be really bad a keeping time :-)

[@antoniosgro0613]

Ur great lol

[@MarcsVlogVids]

Don't forget the brute force, by process of elimination method. There's 12 notes, one of these has to be the key.

[@kingech_B15]

Big Apollo

[@turbomet286]

Kashmir samples. Key is signed

[@Ciaran_M]

Wait? But if your in the C major scale already, how is it that C - C is Major and A - A is minor? A - A would be Major too, right? Seeing as that's just the Octaves.

[@LANDRmusic]

Hey Ciaran, A minor is the relative minor of C major. Both scales exist in one another. I hope that helps!

[@Ciaran_M]

@@LANDRmusic ah, i see. Thanks

[@ankurkamble7754]

Smart, Beautiful and funny... I ammmm simppppp🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
