Tonic Chords - TWO MINUTE MUSIC THEORY #49

[@titogarza5896]

Dude - you are a f’n genius! Breaking down these complex topics to practical use; you’re a treasure- I mean it. Carry on, please.

[@cali3168]

I came here looking for a quick answer and left a subscriber. Very well done.

[@twominutemusictheory]

Welcome!

[@kurtismayer0994]

Been trying to understand chord functions for a while now, you're the first to really explain them clearly

[@eliandean9806]

i realize it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream new movies online ?

[@caidenroberto9000]

@Elian Dean Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@malakaialvin3725]

@Caiden Roberto Yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since april myself =)

[@eliandean9806]

@Caiden Roberto Thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!

[@caidenroberto9000]

@Elian Dean no problem xD

[@RandyKeelingJr]

I have heard the reasoning why the vi was called the submediant numerous times but this time it finally clicked.

[@gerardquinn4513]

Absolutely amazing. Very good and simple explanation of a complex subject. Very quick but the beauty is the video can be paused. I love your approach.

[@plutusmeekly9911]

0:57 thank you, subscribed and liked.

[@GenericSpace]

You helped me look at chord formation differently - and isn't that what it's all about? Well done and thank you!!

[@donlessnau3983]

Well done. Good presentation. Thanks a lot.

[@jorgeparr3002]

Great stuff dude! Thanks!!

[@johncloss4822]

Thank you a clear explanation of the role of chords.

[@JodieLouise98]

This is so useful thankyou

[@vincevino2457]

Thank You, Appreciate you.

[@SullenMorbius]

Awesome lesson! 🙏

[@howardcropp2193]

That was an amazing explanation and exactly what I been searching for as far as chord functions.

[@LesterMitchell]

Thanks this helps a lot..I bought a package lesson but they didn't go into detail. They just said oh here's three tonic chords, two sub dominant, and two dominant there ya go. I'm like wtf why three tonic why?? Haha this helps a lot. Thanks.

[@HELLnnan]

Nice video. It helped me

[@pauljackson1709]

a practical note, a musical anthropology question: 1/ wish all pieces - office, hamilton - had illustrated and labeled the chord progressions; 2/ is the 'longing for resolution' based purely on musical conventions - our ear 'looks for' what it's 'used to hearing'? or is it there some 'human' music consciousness of tones that makes tonics sound resolved, 'at home,' etc?

[@clairenime]

I’ve been in music for several years, and to be honest, I never knew what tonics where. At least now I won’t have to awkwardly nod in class anymore haha

[@davywaweru3041]

This channel is a gem.

[@twominutemusictheory]

Thank you!

[@FFUNK]

Great!

[@Eric-vd7ne]

Maybe I missed it but what are the tonic, sub dominant and dominant chords for minor keys?

[@lucagamingchannelyt7361]

Thanks

[@simontilstedhansen9296]

Helped me so much with my assignment, thanks! Got a sub from me:)

[@bebopreview3187]

Question. The submediant chord (Am7 in C major say) moving to a dominant chord (say G7 in Cmajor). In this situation does (or can) the Submediant (Am7) chord have Sub dominant function?🤔

[@jean-michelperrot7888]

Thank you so much, Jesse

[@jonnymak1079]

Very Niiiice bro This was the best most symple way iv EVER heard it explained. Good stuff!!!

[@aaronforman4914]

so amazing. subbed

[@SouthernBix]

I still don't know specifically what a tonic IS. Seems like from everyone's explanation, it can still be so many things.

[@jslonisch]

Great explanation. There are loads of other videos and websites on This subject but they don’t explain WHY like this one does.

[@Lumbrax]

Subbed!!

[@lbf6449]

Good stuff!

[@uhhmm2132]

no offence but I'm still so confused lmao

[@P_TheEngineer]

The 3rd & 6th chords in the scale degree (read: key) can stand in for the 1st chord (tonic chord) in the scale degree

[@simenkolas9373]

What is the subdominant if G is tonic?

[@Mista808]

Me casually walking away just as confused as I was when I got here. 😑

[@braxtonolita]

THE MAN

[@bonbonpony]

01:01 Yeah, but… why did the chicken cross the road? :q That is, WHY does this chord progression "naturally want" to go that way?

[@harrij.9542]

Andy from The Office: Well... except it was going to resolve the melody so, now my head hurts. Feels like I held in a sneeze.

[@BeddingtinOar]

Reading the comments makes me feel smart

[@jeroenfigee]

0:59 --> ahhh nooooooo!!! not that stupid Cmajor !! 🙂 | Gmaj | Gsus4 | Gmaj11 | Gmaj11/E | Gmaj9/F | Gmaj9/B | Bmin7/11 | Yes, way better. :-p . Thumbs up + subscribed.

[@twominutemusictheory]

I don't express my love for G mixolydian enough.

[@mit843]

Why do they call it music theory when what it describes is factual in how we feel in our soul

[@LouisSerieusement]

[@susancoelho8765]

Please explain 6/8 timing

[@EmoryBlake4Music]

6 beats to a measure and the 8th note gets one beat. Hence 6/8. At slower tempi, it's easy to feel each of those 6 8th notes pass by and we can count it in 6...one eight note, one beat. At faster tempi (for example, a 6/8 march) it's easier and more practical to count the first group of 3 eights notes as "1" and the second group of 3 eight notes as "2". Compare "oh holy night" or "Ave Maria"...a slow 6/8 (you'll find that it's easy to count each of the 6 passing 8th notes...1,2,3,4,5,6) and "jingle bell rock" (a quick 6/8, giving a feel of 2/4 with 8th notes that "swing" and can be counted as duple meter ...1-2, 1-2.) For this reason, 6/8 is referred to as a compound meter. This is easier explained in a video with musical examples and I understand you may have been asking Mr. Strickland to make a video about this. Granted my explanation is not the best, I encourage you to keep looking and I hope it will click soon. Good luck!

[@tatertatertatertatertater]

6/8 means 6 eighth notes in a bar

[@Basketball101.26]
