1. Introduction: Hey, there. And why you're here. I know you're interested in learning music theory. So in this course, I'll explain you that music theory, cheat codes, worthless studios. The easiest way to learn. I'll go to different types of hacks. I'll explain you why breakdown in the complex music theory into a simplest steps so that you can easily understand what's going on. And that's not all it. You're going to find a lot of resources in here in this course, which is worth a lot, but you're getting it for free. And also at the end of the course we'll look at three top head songs, ML analyze it to learn the efficiency and the workflow and how to be creative. I'm Alex will leave you some surprises in the message section. So yeah, I'll meet you in the course. 2. Let's Get Started !: Hey there, thank you for enrolling into the course. This is Harvey for music magic entertainment. And I'm here to teach you music theory, cheat codes of ethics studios. So I'm going to break down all the complex information into simple steps so that you can easily understand what's going on. So the end of this course, I'll give you resources which you can use in your workflow to get cooled down and chord progressions and you can get started with it. Also don't forget to leave a review after the completion of the course are in-between because it definitely helped me to give you more courses like this. So yeah, Let's get started. 3. Pitch and Note: Let's learn the basics of music theory by knowing what exactly as pitch, first, pitch is the frequency of vibrations. So as we hear sounds in our environment, we can here, which is everywhere in our surroundings. Whenever we hear the bass, the frequency of vibrations are less. Whenever we hear the treble more, the frequency of vibrations are more. E.g. let us open up in other studios. And SLPs is a stoplight and studios. So that's opened it up. Yes. So here you can find the piano, the piano layout, or here actually in a vertical form. And as natural form, you can find p is horizontally or here in the instrument section. So yeah. So whenever we play the first note over here, which is C4, and this one, which is c six. You can find it over here. This has more high frequencies. And C4, this has frequencies. So nodes are made by variations in frequencies of vibrations, are, notes are made by variations in the pitch. So that's pitch and note. 4. Chords: So let's learn what is a card? When nodes up but on top of each other, it creates a card. Sounds like this. This is a C major chord. So in order to create good courts which are pleasing to our ears, we added follow some limitations. So let's see what are the limitations first. So we can just go putting all nodes on top of these and create a chord. Because this sounds so awful. Do here. We will know all the regulations have limitations by learning. The following lectures, do actually produce some good sounding cuts. 5. Scale and Octave: Now comes the scale. So what is a scale? So a set of musical notes, which is put in a sequence by fundamental frequency or pitch is known as escape. So let's see what practically either scale, any scale is start with a root node. So what is root node? So root node is the starting node of a scale. So as default, Let's take C major scale as example or here. So all the white notes from C4, C5 is known as the C major scale. So let's put all the white notes together to create a C major scale. So here we find another C here, which is a higher C. So every high frequencies has another C. And every low-frequency also has mostly multiple T's. So in a scale, when we complete all the nodes in a sequence, we find another sea of lower octave, lower frequencies or higher frequencies. And those are called higher octave nodes or local nodes. If it is lower. The octave is set of eight nodes in a particular scale, which is for higher or lower. So let's see. Or if we take all the eight nodes to the low octave, which is C3. This is a low octave of same nodes, but it is transformed in the lower octave. So if we put the same notes to the high octave, we can hear this. So the higher frequencies has high pitch notes and lower frequency has low-pitched sounds. 6. Major Scale: So let's see what E is a major scale first. So it may scale is everywhere actually in the current music system because it is widely used. And it is happy, cheerful, and of course pleasing to our ears. Unlike a minor scale, which we'll explain in a later lecture. So C major is a default major scale. Actually all of them uses a C major scale in a whole industry, such as in Bob Rogan, electronic music. So actually NFL studios, we can access over here, going with here, going here in the major scale, melodic scale 16 and choosing major. And then they're sitting like this. So this is a major scale. So in major scale and of course, all the other scales be fine diatonic and chromatic scales. So what is exactly a diatonic are achromatic scale. So when the nodes are in the scale, so e.g. C, D, F. So all these nodes are in the scale as you can see. So the B and C. So all the white nodes are in scale, actually this is the C major scale. The white node, as you can see, are the major scale. No other node is in the black keys section, which is a chromatic scale. So all the nodes in the scale is known as a diatonic scale. So what is the chromatic scale? The nodes which are out of the scale, such as G-sharp and of course, C-sharp all black nodes over here, according to C major scale, are considered as a chromatic scale, or chromatic notes. All the major scale or that annex scales. So that another definition of a diatonic scale is any heptatonic scale that includes five whole steps and two half steps in each octave is known as the diatonic scale. So we have learned what is an octave in the previous lecture. So when we remove the C here, what we find is nodes to the scale of C major. And all of the nodes are put together by a formula of major scale, which is whole, whole half, whole, whole, whole half. Our whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. So in order to create a major scale, you can go over here. This is a hack actually are. If you want to create a major scale, then you can simply use the formula to create a major scale. So to create a major scale, first you have to take a root node. Then you have to go a full step. Whole step, two semitones, or two half-steps, each known as a whole step. So this is a half-step. And here to here, this is another half step. And here to here is a whole step. So Let's go according to the formula. Root node, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. Which creates a C major scale with a same formula or with the same scale thing. You can go to different, of different nodes as a root node. And that creates a major scale as well. So here, this is a C-sharp major scale, or D flat major scale. If we move this OneNote app, this is a D major scale. How can I prove this? From D? It's a whole, whole half. Whole, whole, whole half. This is the D major scale. So the formula for major scale is constant. You can create different major scales using this formula by taking a root node and creating from there. So let's summarize topics we have discussed in this lecture. So major scale is a happy, cheerful, and a pleasing to the ear scale. Of course, in some cases, that is not. The major scale is also a diatonic scale. And we have learned about diatonic and chromatic scale, which are the notes in the scale is shown as diatonic scale. And the nodes which are out of the scale is known as the chromatic scale. Lastly, we have learned the formula of major scale and how to create a major scale. Let's wrap it up and see you next lecture. 7. Intervals: Let's learn or our interval, It's now. So the interval is a distance or difference between one or the other node. So this is important to learn because it helps in creating chord progressions. Cards are, of course, some of the melodies. Let's see the example, or hair. So as you can know, what exactly different distances between two notes sounds like. So all these intervals are given a certain name. So this is a perfect unison, the root node. This is a minus I can. This is a major second. Minor third. Major third. Perfect quotes. This is a dry down. This is a perfect fifth. Is a minus x2 is a major sixth. This is a minus seven. This is a major seventh. And lastly, the perfect octave. I'll provide it to shoot in case you want to learn exactly what a word. Within these intervals we can see how many semitones or half-steps are present to create a certain interval. So here is a perfect unison. There is no, there is only a root node there. So here there is one semitone up. So we just call a minus I can. So here we can find two semitones. Yeah, we can find the three semitones. Here. We can find false and midtones. Here we can find a phi semitones from the ER, which is 12,345.6 from root node 123456, and so on. 8. Triad - A Basic Chord: Let's learn a basic card, which is a triad now. So what is a triad and how to create it? So we create a Trier by taking a root node and going three nodes within the scale, from the root node, 123. And from the third node to the fifth node within the same scale, which is 4.5. This is C major chord. C major triad. Similarly, let's create another trial. So yeah, be a base node from d to two nodes up within the scale, one to here. Another journal, 1.2. So this is a D minor triad. So why is this a D minor triad? Let's see. So when we take exactly these triads and go to the root node, we find that it is not in a diatonic scale. So as we already learned that the nodes which are in scale are known as that. And it scared the nodes which are out of the scale is known as a chromatic scale. So you can see the nodes are in scale, and of course it's known as a C major triad. And here, this is a minor triad because it is not in a scale. And when we take this try to D in scale, now, test it makes a minor triad at this image. Similarly, you can create more of the triads within the scale. So this is the base note in the scale of a C major scale, E. So from here, 123 and from here, 12. This is a minor triad to so we defer major and minor triads by the intervals between them. So as you can see here, AT is a major third first. And from E it is a minor third. So together it makes a major triad. So similarly, as you can see over here, first, we find a minor third. And from here we find a major term. Together. It is a minor triad. Distance between C to G, D to a, and E to be our perfect fifths. But the distance between C, D, F are different. And of course, if EG are different, this is a major third. This is a minor third. This is a minor third. 9. All Chords In C Major Scale: So let's create all the codes in C major scale. Bass node. Do some mid tones and semitones up. Similarly, let's create all of the codes. Let's hear altogether. So let's see all the names of different cards in scale of C major. C major, D minor, E minor, F major triad. This is a G major. This is a minor disease of B diminished at disease C major triad, but another octave up from this course. So why this is called as a diminished chord. So here you can see there is a minor third from the base node D and from D to F. So when a cord contains this type of structure and intervals, which are two minor thirds in a chord, Let's call as a diminished chord. So in every major scale, these sequence of chords are common, which is a major minor, minor, major, major, minor, diminished. And of course, this is a major dot, dr. So these are the diatonic chords are diatonic triads inside the scale of C major. 10. A Simple Hack for Creating Chords in FL Studio: So as I'm teaching you the cheat, Goodson, if it's studio's, does a cheat or hair to create codes just called you. And you can find melody chords over here. All these are cards you can find overturn, of course, 0 here. So if you want to create a major triad, this is the one you had to choose, and you can get a major triad. Similarly, if you want a minor triad just inserted and you'll create the courts. 11. Roman Numerals In Music Theory: So let's see what are Roman numerals and why it plays key role in making chord progressions. So as you can see, the Roman numerals or here. So whenever you are at a session with some artists and musicians, you can just tell him that to play a C major triad, D minor triad, e minor triad. So that will become so laggy and the process of being productive might disturb you. Then comes Roman numerals, which makes your work more easier. All you have to do is just play 13.5 in C major and artist, or a musician, we'll know that you're talking about C major, E minor triad and G major triad. So that's understanding of Roman numerals in music theory actually. Here, as we know that major scale formula of cards are major minor, minor, major, major, minor, and diminished. According to hear in the Roman numerals, you can find that a 236r -71, which is a diminished chord, is identified by a degree symbol, the numerator. So that's the whole process of understanding Roman numerals in the process. And it plays much important role in making chord progressions. Let's create a chord progression using a C major scale. And let's create something using Roman numerals. So let's say I just want to create a code using 134.6. So I have to remove this. And we have to get back the Scotts buidling chord progressions. We have to use legato actually over here, just select all and Control L to create legato, which is setting chords. So let's see how it goes. This is a chord progression. See, I know it sounds kind of hard to be honest, but then comes the process of inversions, which we will learn in the next lecture. 12. Inversions: Let's see what our envisions now. Inversions is basically changing node and the same card or two nodes higher or lower, to give the court a character in which it gets cope up with the following chord, chord progression. So let's see that in context. So e.g. let's see a C major triad over here and applying versions, discard. This is a chord here. But if you want to change the character and the timber in certain card, all you have to do is change the node one octave higher. So select node by control and selecting it, and move it one octave higher by control and up arrow by selecting it. And it will automatically jump to the high outdo. And this is called as a first inversion in C major triad. The triad is C major triad, of course. But as we see the root node as E, Now, you have inverted a C note one octave higher, and that makes us C major triad in first inversion. So if you want another node to be inverted to the higher octave, you have to just select the note and making it a higher note. That's makes us second inversion of a major triad in the scale. Similarly, you can do a couple of inversions in the chord progressions to make it sound more interesting and giving it a character. So it's all up on your taste. The feeling you are going with. It's everything up on you. There's no limitations and an orals for the inversions and that kind of stuff. So let's work on this chord progressions to make it more unique and placing. So e.g. we have a chord of C major dryer, but insect integration and sounds like this. So as you can see, the last one, which is a sixth chord in C major triad in the C-Major Scale. Sounds little bit parts. So let's apply envision to it and let's see how this goes. So let's make this E lower. Let's see how it sounds. It sounds cool. If you undertake these apart, I outdo the season first inversion in E minor triad. So let's see how this goes. So it's entirely changing the character and timbre of the chord progressions. It's up to you to how to apply the inversions on basic chord progression or complex called pregnancies. So it's up to you. It's up to the feeling you are going with, and it's no right or wrong in doing so, I find this chord progression with this inversions. Sounds good. So I'm letting it the way it is now. So this is how it sounds. So to give it a more power to the anti chord progressions, we add bottom nodes, which is a bass note for this is a C major scale, and we are building a chord progressions in C major. So we already know that the chords in C major right now, here. So the first one is a C. Let's go and add a sea bass note and low octave. And next, which is a ie. And other one is f. And the last one is. We can apply our inversions for the bass notes too. It's no right or wrong in here. But let's see how it sounds and let's make changes to make it more interesting. So as of now it is, it sounds cool, but if you want to make emotions, you can do it. E.g. let's take this a and bring it up one octave lower. And similarly for the f, similarly for Y2. And let's see how it sounds. Let's bring the C side. It's up to you to decide what sounds curt and the feeling you're going with. So e.g. I. Just want to change a whole piece naughts according to the chord progressions or here. So let's make, to see go up. And let's make this F sharp. And let's make this E2. This is how this goes. So yeah, this is concept of inversions in music theory. And. 13. Concept of Trasnsposing: So let's see the concept of transposing. Now. What is transposing? So transposing is nothing but changing the scale of a particular audio or chord progression, melody, song, etc, by moving it up or down. Let's take this chord progression as an example now. So by selecting everything and moving one node, let us in a C sharp major scale. So how can we know that we are in a C-sharp major scale? So let's see how this sounds first before. So this is a C major chord progression, and this one is a C-sharp major chord progression. So if female the exact chord progression, another scale up. So we find the chord progression is and be pretty easily, this chord progression is created in C. We know that this is created and C can transpose it to OneNote up or down to Kennedy's I failing you're looking for. So this is a D major scale chord progression, which sounds like this. So here's a trick for you guys. So you know that the particular chord progression or song is in the exact scale, e.g. this is a D major scale and I have no idea that is, that this is in D major scale. So if you're confused in figuring out the scale, so all you have to do is just go to this board now here the options. And you can find the helpers over here. And e.g. I. Just wanted to make sure that this chord progression is in D major scale. So the meter is selected over here. And when I select B, so it automatically jumps to the disease a or D major scale. And you can check that the layout will be changed as for the scale selection over here. So everything here goes a little bit transparent. You can see. So this way you can figure it out. This is in D major scale. So we can know that this is in D-major scale just by looking at it just matches with the nodes over here. So everything in white keys. So we can confirm that this is an a D major scale. So e.g. if we move this, so it sounds so awful and the code will be out of qi. This is out of chaos. We know, as you can see, this is a black thing. And if we move, we can just select it and shift up, or you can use the arrow to make the changes. Now you can see that this isn't a D major scale. Similarly, you can change the chord progression to your desired scale, e.g. if you want to make E major scale. So as t is root node, let's move to E. And this is an image scale. Now, if you wanted to confirm it, as I told you, just score to help us. And you can see here E major. Just click it. And you can see that the lender layer changes to some more transparent. Everything is in key. So if any of key, any other node, A's and a black over here, that means the chord progression is out of qi. So now you can find that every, every node is in the white thing over here. That makes us mean that it is exactly in E major scale. That's the concept of transposing. See you in the next lecture. 14. Natural Minor Scale: The minus GIP. So let's see what it sounds like in a C minor scale first. As like that, we need to scale. The minor scale is mobile below in every form of the music in the world. So the relation between the major and minor scales will be detached in the next lecture. But now will see what is a minor scale and how it is created. So the minus KT is created similarly to the mood scale by the formula. Whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. So let's create a D minor chord using the hacks. So as I already told you that there is a helper over here, select minor first, then go again and select D as a root node. So you can easily program the D minor scale here as a formula. Let's build a minor scale for D. So D minor scale goes like this. White transparent areas. So this is a root port, whole, whole, whole, half, whole step. But this makes us a D minor scale. So the concept of inversions and transposing applies to every scales in the music. So as we already learned about the Roman numerals, Let's create a chord progression in C minus kel. But before creating a minor scale, you are, you have to know that the minor scale has different breach of chord progressions, different rates of gods, in this case, e.g. let's make this see as a university. So as we already learned that the C major scale contains courts which are in first, a major, minor, minor, major, major, minor and diminished. But in here, in the C minor scale or any other minor scales, we start with a minor first and then the diminished major, minor, minor, major, major and minor. Okay? So it goes like minor, diminished, major, minor, minor, major, major and might not get. Let's create codes. Nc minus Kayla. Yeah, a root node. To point to the formula. This like pretty simple for everything. So this is C minor triad diminished. This a major, minor, minor, major, major. And then might not get. So as you already learned the Roman numerals, Let's create a chord progression. Now. Let's take 134.2. So let's get rid of all these codes and move this one to the n. And this is a chord progression in C minor scale sounds like. And of course you can use diversion, Store, make it more unique and professionals. You can add bass notes are similar to the major scale. So first one is C, D-sharp, third one is F. One is, we can transpose it to another. Now, let's make it as C-sharp minor scale. Let's make it t. Let's make it a. So there's endless possibilities. You can create major minor scales for this is a concept of minus curves. Let's see the relationship between major and minor scales in the next lecture. 15. Relation between Major & Minor: Let's understand the relation between major scale, a minor scale. So in order to understand the relation between them, we will take a practical example here. So let's create a minor scale, starting from C using a formula. Note all halves. This is a C minor scale. So scale, as you already know that there are three black notes, D sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp. So the relation only changes in third, sixth, and seventh. So when I take everything and move down three semitones, it will land on a. So as you can see, there are no black notes in a actually, you see is a white nodes just as C. And if we remove b and a and move everything to see and add two more nodes will get C major. So the thing here is when you starting from a as a root node and adding only the white notes on a. Again, this creates a minor scale. Similarly, when you take off B and a and take everything to see an add two more nodes. You will find a C major scale. This only happens when you start with the C as root node. So a minor scale is a C major scale too. So there's a relation between these two scales, a minor scale and C major scale. So in order to find the major and minor scales, we call it as finding that relate to key off certain nodes. E.g. if you want to find a relative of C major scale, all your ad will do is just go to three semitones like from c12. Entry will land upon a. So a is a way to minor for C major. Similarly, when you are on a minor scale, and if you want to know the relative major scale, a minor scale, all you have to do is just go to the semitones 1-3 and c is related to major for a minor. Similarly, you can find every relate to key for different scales, e.g. let's take C-sharp major scale if you want to know the relative minor, all they had to do is just go down to simple terms, e.g. c12 entry, which baselines on Asia Minor Scale. So the relative minor of C sharp major scale is a sharp minor scale. That's the simple trick actually to another relate to major and minor instances. The difference of major and minor scale and the relation between them. 16. Added Tone Chords: So let's see what is added, don't cards. So basically we create cards. And if you want to add a lot more character and tone to the college, we add sudden nodes to the cards, and that's added on cards, e.g. let's create a major dry. So 12. And this becomes a major triad as you already know. So added tones are like adding a node in between N, a diatonic scale, which is n-k, e.g. I. Just want to add another node over here, which is d sine. This sounds like this. And of course, you can add multiple nodes or in scale to get more dominant character. Actually, e.g. let's add a or here. I know it sounds like little odd, but it does make sense when you learn about seven ninths, 11s, and their teens. So this is a concept of added tone courts will learn in-depth added tone courts in the next lecture. 17. 7ths 9ths 11ths & 13ths: So in this lecture we'll learn about 7,911.13. So this is a cord we call it is at fryer, which sounds like this. Of course you already know how to create a major triad and everything when you add nowhere in-between, which is any of the nodes over here, or it becomes an added tone chord. But if you want to create a seventh chord, which is C major seventh chord, C major seventh. All you have to do is just count seven notes, like 1234567 notes in the scale, and put it on, which becomes a seventh chord. And it goes, cuz you are nice character to the oral card and tonality to makes something unique. Of course. You can also figure out a seventh chord by adding a node that's below the root node. The root node here, AC, adding a node below the root. Note in the scale of whatever the scale it is. Here I'm in the C major scale, that's P. You can see the white notes over here, 1234567. Everything's wired. So that means we're in C major scale. Adding a tone or node below. There will note and selecting a control and up arrow also gives you seven card. So this is a C major seventh and sounds like this. You can also take that and inverted by Control down arrow as already mentioned. And this sounds like this. So it's all based upon how the feeling of a song is and how the emotion of the song is. That's it. So this is a seven. And if you want to add another in the cord to give you another like more of a character or a feeling or whatever it is. So all you have to do is just add up one tone about the root node, which is seen here. So this is D, and this is an added tone chord. But it makes a ninth when you take PI and making it up an octave by control and up arrow. And this creates a nine, which is a C Major nine chord in C major scale. Let's count all the diatonic notes in the C major scale. So this is, of course, in key. We just count from the root node to complete the scale, 1234567. Here it becomes a seventh, C major seven. And 8.9 here becomes the ninth. And 10.11, if you are here on node, it becomes 11th, C major 11th. Another one is 13th, which is 11 to 13. I know it gets complicated when you add too many of the nodes in accord, but it all makes sense in the context of chord progressions as we're creating by certain feeling or emotion. This is how 7911 and 13th work, and we can just do it everything as we previously learned about inversions and transposing. So either way everything will work. So that's how you can create 79.11 chords. Let's inward some notes to give you an example here. So we are inverting C and inverting E. And this creates this course. So either way, this is called as a C Major nine, even though this is a second inversion of the chord. Another example, but this time, let's take seventh chord. So let's delete the ninth chord, which is 123-456-7899 chord. We'll just delete it. So this becomes a seventh chord, C major seven. So this is, this is how it sounds like before. And if we invert, see This sounds like. So, either way, we call it as a C major, even if the inversion happens. So if you want to let other people know that you have inverted, a certain node, you have to do is just let him know that you are inverting the sea. Or you can also mentioned our discord like C major seven in first inversion. So if you're inverting the second node two, so this becomes C major seven. And second inversion, you can say like this, actually, this sounds like this. So most of the seven ninths and lemons are used in jazz chord progressions, Jazz, R&B, and most of the pop culture songs. That's how the 79.11 to work. So it's all depends upon what IU making and the genre you're making, the feeling and emotion of the song you're making. So just go through all of the concepts are explained and experiment with different concepts previously mentioned, and that's it. And that's how you create a 7,911.13 cards. 18. A Simple hack for creating 7ths 9ths 11ths & 13ths in FL Studio: So as we are working in FL Studio and this is a music theory cheat codes further studio. So I want to show you something to add 79o 11th chord. So all you have to do is just go to the stamps over here. Select the major 7th up here to create a major seven chord and Teradata. And this is how it sounds like. You have a bunch of different types. And if you want more advanced codes, you have to go to advance. And there's a ton of different codes over here. So and so advanced in which you can use in your chord progressions, e.g. let's, I just want to use a seventh or ninth over here. I just want to enter major ninth. So you have to do is go here, select mesh nine, and it's just insert it. And this creates a mesh in mind as we created in the previous lecture. This is a seven. This is a night. So you can create endless chord progressions just by going here and select the different types of cards and create different types of chord progressions using the web option and methods to use. 19. Suspended Chords: So let's learn about a suspended chord. Now. The suspended chord is a major chord or a minor chord. But we use suspended chords to complete an emotion and create a different kind of timber in the chord progression so that the listener feel interesting when the chord progression goes. So this is what I mean. Let's take an example. Here. This is a C major triad in the C-Major Scale. So this is sounds like this as you already know. But when you take a major second over here and shifted up, one tone in key are in scale. The interval between C and F will become the perfect fourth. And this is CSS folder. And similarly, if you take the exact same node and shift it to the minus second, this will become ceases to. And this is how we create a suspended chords and chord progression to create tension. And of course, let listener feel interesting when the chord progression goes by. So let's take an example and create a chord progression now by adding a suspended chord in the middle. Let's start with the major scale. The one which becomes a major seven. And let's add a major. Now let's add a D major, D major seven. And finally, they'll go back to G major triad first. And then 70. It sounds like this. It's more like a basis. So let's inward be and of course t. And now this sounds like. So here we made a suspended chord and the core fields completed and sounds more like a happy chord. So this is a use of a suspended chord, and we'll learn about power chords in the next lecture. 20. Power Chords: So our, our power coach. So generally the PowerPoints are used by the rock and a metal guitarist that to create energy and instrument of a rock guitar. So let's take a rocket as an instrument. So I have taken the distorted guitars, which are mostly the Runge-Kutta emulation and expand too. This is how it sounds like. And so mostly the power goods are not like. This sounds more distorting, so disturbing to our ears. So instead of the bar codes are like this. So power chords are generally taking out middle node. We is, here is a major second. And all the cases major second or -18. So basically the interval between a C and a G over here and a T, a, and E are quiet, similar. Let's take a look. So basically the intervals are same, but the matter in which we add a major second above it for is to create chords in the piano. And of course it depends upon the field. So, but most of the rock guitarist and metal guitarist use only two nodes to create a power chord. Otherwise, it sounds more disturbing and more distorted in your ears. You got here. So this is how you make a buck or two loads. A perfect fit. And that's a guard. 21. Arpeggios: What are RPG? Rpg, those are the melodies which are being created by checking cord. And it is a rhythmic melody in a certain pattern. So let's see what I mean by taking it as a practical example. And I'm going to show you how it's created. So let's take a C Major as example again and create arpeggiated coach. Arpeggiated melody is actually, so this is a C Major and we're creating a C major scale first. Let's take the C and put it up to get up. And this sounds like this. A chord form. So as we already discussed that arpeggios are like rhythmic melody, which has a separate pattern to it. So let's create it like that actually. So we'll take e inward it up and this sounds like this. Now, let's arpeggiate discord actually. So I have to do is just, you know, take it and sharp like this, which creates a pattern like that actually. And again, G. And this sounds like that. So it's actually isn't 90 ppm. But when I go over and we'd like 160 BPM, it sounds like this. So mostly the arpeggiated melodies or arpeggios are used and sent away genre of music. And it's like where are useful for that kind of Musei. The emotion and the feelings are like super sent the wavy, and it has the arpeggiator are mostly used in the synth wave jar. Let's create arpeggios by creating a chord progression first, and great RPGs are on it. Let's create a car. Let's invert. And let's do a inward, see here. And that's called up D and create a D major chord. Let's go inward it down. Our, let's do it up actually. So endocardium, it sounds like this. Let's create our arpeggios around it. I had to do is just, you know, a chart, this kind of things. And you're good to go. This is the app node arpeggios. It's all like, you know, based upon the emotion and feeling, how you create it. And that's it actually. So this sounds like Let's go down actually create a cloud around it. Let's take dApp little bit and what it actually, and create a arpeggiator melody and up again. So this is how it sounds like now. So this is one way of creating arpeggios and effort studios. But you can also create arpeggios and quick and easy way actually. So that is making a Cloud-first actually. Let's delete all. Let's make a card by using our techniques. Let's take major seven. Let's take suspended second, actually. Let's take a random codes, actually. Just take a random cards. Let me just sat and put it on D. And of course, another miner put it up at B and it sounds like this. I know it's kind of art, but this is an example. So after creation of the chord progression, select all and press Alt. And this brings up arpeggiator actually. Here you can create a multiple patents of arpeggios. E.g. this sounds like this. I always like. So our two here, Let's normally there. So again, if you're lost, you can take this as an inspiration Bucer. This is the time multiplier, you can dismiss it. Just showed how to die multiplier usually takes keys or the card actually chops up into little pieces. This is how this code actually, there are multiple sink patents or here, it can just mess up or the arpeggiator or here. And of course you can ban different things. You can change up the velocities for the overall RPG haters. And you can also mess up the various parameters are here to get the desired output you want actually. So I know this is odd, but this has been taken as an example to show you what the arpeggiator does. So this is what it does actually, let's get at before and after. So this is after the arpeggiator, and this is before. So FL Studio provides you various techniques to create arpeggios. As I said before, arpeggios are mostly used in synth wave. Of course, you can use it in any genre of music, but mostly it is used in central waved to get that kind of, to create that kind of spacey and sent the way we kind of feeling and emotion. So here I create an another example. If a chord progression and turning it arpeggios using arpeggiator and Evelyn studios. So this is how it sounds like an a chord progression. When we apply arpeggiator by just selecting everything and pressing all day. So this brings up operator, as we've already discussed, and let's go through different presets over here. So there's like 11 treat shoe, our street tree and let's, you know, car. The multiplier to normal. Let's change the range to tree, and this is how it sounds like. Now. Let's go and create nominal. This is how it sounds like now. There's like, you know, infinite ways to create different types of arpeggio pattern nicely. So there's plenty of pattern tool here. You can see. You can just go to different types of patents over here using the presets, which has already been there earlier actually. So just take your time and, you know, create some good sounding arpeggios. 22. Theory Wrap Up & Implementation Inside FL Studio: So I'd like to end the theoretical part or here because I feel as far as we learn all the topics and the theory part is like much enough to create a head sounding chords and chord progressions. So further, I'll take all of the theoretical part we have discussed before and create a chord progression. And we'll analyze the three different musical chord progressions which are already ahead and of course released and will learn to analyze it and try to be more creative and effect to it the thought process of making chord progressions of a head song. Let's create a chord progression by taking all of the topics and contest. So let's start by taking c minor this time as our scale. And let's create a chord progression now. Shoo, shoo. Okay. I think I don't want a seven hour here, seven our hear sound cards. So I'll take this and I'll transpose C to an ad out there. And this sounds like this. Now let's take another card. It's time. We will go Perfect Forward to actually then go a major second from D-sharp. And Let's add a 13th, I guess. Let's see. Oh, unsure. So as you already skirts about 13s, so 9th, sorry, 11th actually, let's add 119.11. 11. This sounds like Let's go down this time. It's grade 11th from the root. Now watch 123 456-789-1011. I'll create a major second from a. Let's take f and transpose it. One out there up, and we'll add 11 to once again, but this time we'll take the d and the wet. And I guess it sounds good. Let's see. Okay. Now let's go down this time. Let's take a major from here, G-sharp major. Let me just take a nicely, and then we'll take another octave up. This time. Yeah. And we'll take an added, don't actually, it will place another TO here. And this sounds like it sounds good actually. So you wanted to keep it cool. Let's use add-on codes. So we'll use will add a suspended chords. He was asked this way. Now you would add another A0 here. A shop, sorry. Okay. We'll add another four here. And this is how it sounds. Let's add a base note. Now. They take notice C. And of course we'll take a, take D. And G. Let's lower the volume of some particular nodes in this section over here. So let's highlight which you want to change the velocity and hold Alt and scroll down the wheel. Now you can see here, the velocity is slowing. So that's how you can create tension. Then sudden cord. But we can also do it to a multiple codes over here. So the simple technique is to use randomized. So how it works. So select all and press Alt and R, which brings up a randomized over here. So what it does is it leveled up the pan. We can mess around with the velocity and the release more x, y, which is like, you know, not that useful, but you can mess around with these three knobs over here. So let's mess with the velocity or here with this chord progression. As you can see, the velocities are here, changes a lot. That's the way you can create tension. And you can use the seed to create various types of variations. Which for you, Let's take this as an example. Sounds good. So another thing we can do is to use a sham effect. So what is this term effect? It creates a natural feeling of playing a piano actually. So I'll show you how this works. So you haven't just press Control a to select all address or S. So which pull up this menu so that you can strap. So what I mean by swamis like this, actually this is a way too much in the mix, but we'll preserve the end. So let's close it. Let's take the last ease, John, little bit. Like tension up the time right. As parties to actually get attention, right? So this is how this sounds like now. Yeah, this is how you can create awesome sounding chords and chord progressions just by the knowledge we have gained so far. And of course, Yeah, I guess this is a great sounding chord progression for me. There are a lot of emotions and feelings going on. Just justice piece of music actually. So yeah, it's all about feeling. So I'll put the emotions. But other people today in this generation's get mess up with all these extra, extra, extra advanced and complex knowledge is in their heads. And they just forgot to create a good sounding chord progression. So all I'm here to try and say is all we want to have is the emotion, feeling to create music, and that's it. That's how I feel. So further, we'll analyze a tree. Different. John heard music, e.g. we will take a pop RMB and a hip hop head chord progression, and we'll analyze them. And we will see how can we be creating an effect to the way of creating chord progressions? So this is before, and this is after. 23. Hit Song Chord Progression Analysis #1: This is lovely performed by Billie Eilish and colleagues. Let's analyze the chord progression or this head song. And let's find what we can do to be creative and affect you. So here you can find GCE, and please note is C actually, so they have created a C Major first. So as we can move the G up oxygen, we find a G major triad over here. And this is a base nor to outpace down. So all I have to this chord progression is to see major first. And then the chicks G and inverted it back to low octave. And test, it, ended up sounding like this. And then they have used power chord, which is D and F sharp, sounds like followed by a bass note over here. So this chord progression is an E minor scale and the BPM is one-fifth. So the next card they use over here is E minor triad. So this code sounds like this. Now. They have made this code by, by first taking E minor triad. And similarly the dead to the first card over here, they just took the B and the, inverted it to the low octave. And they have database node, lower two octaves. So E minor triad, inversion of B to the low octave. And eBay snore down two octaves, gives this chord. The next chord, the dead is a B minus drier. This is how it sounds like. They also followed by another node over here. It sounds like this. So they added a is B minor triad. Debride another node here. And of course, a bass note of p minus triad lower down to two octaves gives them this chord. So the next one is similar to the first chord in the song, where they have played a node at the end, which is a root node C on the first card. Just to have a variation to let the listener thing that is unique and it sounds like. So in contexts that sounds circuit. So the second card that habit E is E minor triad. So E minor second, major second, and then they did ie lower. And finally, they have more down actually by creating a B minor triad first, then adding a fee-based node down to two octaves. Been murdered, be to that higher Octavio here now. And they added a tone which is D and also F sharp. And they have inverted up octave, and that gives this chord. So we can find pretty much entirely discuss topics. So there is a power cord o'er. There's add a tone which has been inverted up an octave. So basically they have inverted everything here. So the P is inverter, and C's and G's inverted in the C major triad seamlessly to this. So here G is inverter, and of course here p is inverted. These two nodes are added tones, one here and one here. And they got inverted up. The node B's in order to. So this is and I caught progression of lovely performed by Billie Eilish and colored. So this is a simple chord progression for agger. Different kinds of variation in rhythm. And added notes in-between. District create variation that I've used only the inversions and add it tunes, base nodes and the simple chords. That's it. This is a simple chord progression, but it created millions of place. And it's seriously Pablo worldwide. This is a hit. Song. Chord progression. Made it with simple chord and simple topics in music theory. As I've said before, it's all about feeling and emotion. That's it. And finally they have added a note which is E and G. And that made it entirely to the song. So it started off with these notes first and then the cards come in and oral, it sounds like this. So this is a song lovely. By Billie Eilish and Khalid. 24. Hit Song Chord Progression Analysis #2: To seize this tab bar performed by the weekend. So it is in a minor scale. Some says there is a G major in some cities, it is in E minor. But yeah, of course, these chords can be played in those scales too. But basically it is created in a minor. So the PBM is 93, and it is in a minor. For now. They have started off with a minor triad first, which is here. This is a minor triad. Then the took the e note, ie, and inward it down the octave, and they have added a C note. See this call, It sounds like this. Next one is the E minor triad. So this is E minor triad and they have added a P naught over here. So in this boat courts, they have added a c and a b, which are murder. You don't over here, E minor triad. And they have took that exact same node and copied down to the other octave. And in this case, over here, in this chord that took E minor triad and added a node P is a bass note. Not usually a base stored, but it adds a character, to be honest, the third chord is G major drag. So that added a t down to the law. And sounds like this. So they're pretty much like taking the higher notes and they are bringing down the octave and keeping the triads as usual. So the other two triads are the other two chords you're over here are similar to these two codes. Except the last one, which is this one. This is e minus 7th actually. So yeah, this is great. This is an E minor seven. So how can I say this? I took ie down and the tee up. As you already learned that if you want to create a seven, all you have to do is just add a tone underneath the root node of a Corp and use control up arrow to make it a high octave. And this creates a e minus 7th actually. So what they have done is I took the D down and up, which creates e minus seven. But the inversions had kind of different. So the entire chord progression sounds like this. So yeah, this is how established is created and performed by the weekend. 25. Hit Song Chord Progression Analysis #3: All right, disease, middle child by J Cole. Actually, this is a super simple chord progression, to be honest, like this is actually a sample. It is produced by t minus. So he, he got a sample outline and it created a stretch it and made it a headstrong men, a hit song in the world of hip-hop like this is, this song has its own place. So yeah, let's, let's know about this song actually. So this song is produced in G-sharp major scale, so it is in 100-fold BBM first. So simple. That started with a C minor triad. They have continued for half of the second bar. And then for this third bar, I've created a G major seven, but without the fifth actually. So this is how it sounds. It sounds so rhythmic actually. So this ray nodes over here are sevens and this tree nodes, so here are the six. And lastly, this triad is a G, D sharp major triad. So simple, so sweet, a head song. And altogether this sounds like this is a main melody of the song. It had 1 million place, million streams. And of course, there's that. So Sweden, so simple MEN, disease, middle child by J. Cole, produced by dy minus. 26. How to Use Resources: Hey there, This is Harry again. I hope everything's going. This is a results back. I have Romanist up downloading the back.
