There's No Such Thing as a Square Wave
Understanding what "square wave" actually means tells us a lot about the way sound waves interact, what a harmonic is, and lays the foundation for harmony.

The Physics of Sound: Frequency, Amplitude, and Wavelength
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 11 měsíci
Music Theory from the *very* beginning: Sound Waves. Planning on doing 3 or 4 of these physics-oriented videos to really ground us in the basics of sound. From there we'll work our way into some of the most fundamental principles of music theory, i.e. why certain pitches played together can sound so different compared to others and why we divide the octave the way we do.

UPDATE: Since there's been some criticism (thoughtful discussion mostly, you guys are great) about the first part of this video I wanted to clarify things: I'm (attempting) to explain why, out of all the different pitches we have, we nearly always use 7. There isn't some physical law that causes it; it's just a very natural and aesthetically pleasing division of the octave. We could use 8, we c...

UPDATE: In the key of G minor, that E should have been an Eb. I both said it wrong and wrote it wrong. I'm sorry.

    Don’t mean to sound flip, but what’s the point of learning these chords? Is it just to compose? How does this help me be a better player? Why would I learn this?

    Thanks for the video, very interesting. Wouldn't it make more sense to define the mid note of the Sus chord by how much it changes from the third, rather than from the fifth or root? I mean the Sus4 is half a step from the third and the Sus2 a whole step from the third.

    In your A-flat major 7 example, doesn't the Circle of Fifths give you the 2nd and 4th note of the cord? The notes of a major cord are always X, X+4 and X+1, where X is the starting note. And for a major 7th cord, the pattern is X, X+4, X+1, X+5.

    Bobby McFerrin? spelling? He said something but not as many words to explain....another great example old movies of child actors....they used a fist to play, or an elbow because their little fingers didn't have the spread or reach capability. However, in real time, they had to make the dynamic work. Practice what you know first, the idea.

    Or start with C then go every 5 for the sharp keys, then start with F then go every 4 for the flat keys , its that simple.

    *Scales are merely divisions of octaves.* One can see these derived from Ionian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 :Ionian 1 2 ♭3 4 5 6 7 :Melodic 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 7 :Harmonic and these derived from Mixolydian: 1 2 3 4 5 6 ♭7 :Mixolydian 1 2 ♭3 4 5 6 ♭7 :Dorian 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7 :Aeolian 1 ♭2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7 :Phrygian But in every case, each is merely a division of the octave and thus results in differing intervals. That ♭3 from the tonic in every case renders the minor sound. Psychological moodiness can be induced by increasingly adding flats to change the intervals.
