I'm glad this helps :) hope you have a good time studying music theory here ;)

[@warriorspirit210]

Free for us but he is not doing it for free because youtube is paying him.

[@whatabouttheearth]

This is an awesome video. I would also search for "Rick Beato music theory" and check out his many music theory and film scoring videos. Howard Goodall also has nice documentaries like 'Howard's Goodall's Big Bangs of Music' that you may like. Also look up Leonard Bernsteins series 'The Unanswered Question' (here on You Tube) that he did at Harvard

​@Woochia's Beats & Bobs you are a wonderful person

[@captainkiwi77]

@@warriorspirit210I mean, KZbin is not directly paying him to make this video, but he does make money from the ads on his videos provided KZbin allows him to monetize them (given the amount of songs in here it’s entirely possible it’s just not monetized at all)

[@Accuratetranslationservices]

Damn this is comprehensive… When I saw “complete” music theory I was thinking it would start with the major scale. This beast starts with the actual relationships between frequencies. Such a treasure of a video

[@Slow-Biden9]

[@Trentcast]

I can’t believe this is a free video. With SOOOO many people trying to capitalize on peoples passion for music, it’s refreshing to see someone just GIVE knowledge away like this. Thank you so much for this!

[@Woochia]

Years ago, the mentality around me was "keep your secrets, you need to keep your secret sauce to be successful in music". Then I realised I learnt everything from people sharing their knowledge on internet, so I started doing the same. I guess that came from a different place than anyone trying to capitalise on anything ^^

[@martinladley]

@@Woochia Give first, receive later. You realised you have a higher purpose.

[@diablense]

[@hc3550]

you can go to a library and check out a book, but ok.

[@TheDayDreamingOwl]

Lmao, this is not free and he is capitalizing on this information. He's getting paid to minimize a very large and intricate subject into an oversimplified KZbin video so that people will watch looking for answers and information but only receive a superficial variation of it. Now, me explaining that to you was free! You're welcome.

Wow, this video has opened my mind. I have studied harmonics for 1 year as a part of my college syllabus(EEE). But never have I thought this is how harmonic study creates music. I have to improvise my prior knowledge with this new one and see how synchronizing helps to appreciate the beauty of music and Power electronics.

[@Multi-Waves_Sketchbook]

Did some cadence practice and had so much fun! After I was finished did I come to the realization that I was trying to make every scale degree a major chord and I was wondering why they would not fit in the scale. I learned multiple lessons in that exercise and I look forward to any other exercises coming my way!

[@SineBStudio]

Thank you bro...❤ You are doing a great work..all the best.

[@Woochia]

[@jean80it]

This is absolutely fantastic; I’ve been studying theory from different sources, but I’ve always felt like said sources were just dumping a bunch of notions on me - THIS is different, it’s explaining the “why”s in a quite satisfying way and I love it. I had already liked the video, but when I heard the 4th pun I instinctively reached for the thumbs up again 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 15, in musical theatre, trying to learn a little more about music so I know what the people around me are talking about. When I was younger, my grandma tried to teach me about music and how to play the piano, but I always refused. She always told me that I'd regret it and I knew, even then, that she was right, I just didn't want to work for it. Thank you for this video!

[@Woochia]

I hope you get to understand everything the people around talk about :)

[@takemebacktothen]

I wish i was that young when i changed my mind hahah. Good luck on your journey with music!

[@DavidBergman1776]

Dude you could still learn how to play an instrument and learn it well. At 15, your brain is still flexible! I would highly encourage you, even if it's just for a year, to take some classes on some instrument that interests you, often music schools have instruments for rent etc, and it's a huge bonus for discipline (in practicing), and also helping your brain to learn how to learn better! (Obviously I don't expect you to do what I've done, which is almost 11 years of violin with over 3500 hours invested XD)

I reference this video ALL THE TIME. At least 45 views of this video are mine… And probably another 60 from people I’ve directed to it. This video is by far the most masterful and comprehensive way of showing you how and why music and sound does what it does. What I especially love is he breaks everything down in such a way that even a complete beginner can understand, while also making the knowledge feel valuable to experts without it feeling dumbed down. That is very difficult to do in anything you try to explain, but music is such a uniquely complex subject, I honestly can’t imagine anyone doing a better job than this… AND FOR FREE?? People pay big big money for what he’s teaching in this video… For the sweet sake of f-k… Please, AT LEAST, thank this man for this video. Bravo, my man. Bravo. >M
