Top 3 BEAUTIFUL Lane 8 Melodies (How they work)

[@TJ-hs1qm]

3:17 just saying... natural minor scales (modes in general) don't contain leading tones. This is why they sound more ambiguous. so to introduce a leading tone (in case of A harmonic minor is G#) people came up with the harmonic minor scale. Thanks to G# you can now build a dominant chord (E maj or Edom7) that resolves to the A min. For example (BDF) -> (G#BE) -> (ACE) (Bmin - Emaj - Amin) or (ii-V-i)

Thanks for that :) super interesting!

[@TJ-hs1qm]

@@BoundtoDivideyeah leading tones are a half step below the "home base" aka tonic of a scale. For example B is the leading tone of C major. In case of a A natural minor a half step below the "tonic" A is G#. The G# makes the scale pretty from a harmonical pov. hence the name harmonic minor. But also without a leading tone there's no real home base. Why NATURAL minor scales sound a bit "floaty" their v-i doesn't resolve as strong as a V-I of a major scale. ps: If you want to dig deeper check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TSoGdrq9WEjJY It starts a bit slow but by far the best introduction to modes I could find on youtube. That's where I learned this shit 😅

This was great!! Can you also do an analysis of ben bohmer tracks especially those powerful chord progressions!!

[@BoundtoDivide]

Yes planning to :)

[@matrxmusic]

@@BoundtoDivide yesss waiting! ❤️

[@bryguyseventeen]

Your point about the half-step movement when writing in a major key is super helpful, it's been a struggle for me to get those emotions when writing in a more poppy key. Thanks Jules!

[@BoundtoDivide]

Awesome :)

Thanks for watching 😊

[@adamkeena8378]

Enjoy these analysis videos 👍

[@milesymusician1760]

[@BoundtoDivide]

Thank you Milesy!

[@benmmm641]

Wow nice! Can you do something about the blaze?

[@Mixwarp]

🔥

[@SV-nl6wb]

nice one man. too bad "I/Y" didnt make it to your list. By far my favorite track

[@jasongravely7217]

Such a sick track!

[@yeeeha5674]

Super emotional! I think that one hits me the hardest, in terms of going inside your mind to just reflect on stuff.

[@BoundtoDivide]

Ah unfortunately it just doesnt give me the feels :(

[@alexk9295]

Hi, nice video. The 7th degree is called leading tone in a major scale. In a minor scale it is called subtonic. Don't know if it makes any difference in function though as I have only just started learning it myself.

[@BoundtoDivide]

Oh damn you’re right haha :)

[@stiangerhardsen]

Awesome content! Can you please try to remake Khåen - Mordecai?

[@sirwanmusic]

Wish you could do these kind of tutorials on above and beyond tracks :(.

[@BoundtoDivide]

Maybe one day :)
