I love this professor. He might be on some lists but still love em.
The only list he's on is Franz Liszt
He gives love a good name
look at this guy, humbling the education sytems across the world from his living room. no budget, no nothing. just a cool dude with a camera, huge knowledge and some creativity. thanks man, you are truly awesome
This man is super creative and gifted. It really makes my day better even if I am down. Thank you!
Same, it genuinely made my day better, and I’m learning music theory at the same time.
I can't tell which one of you two is more gifted
@@theRiver_joan jk not directed at u. It's like "this man is really gifted", dude literally dressed up, and told you about the major scale, wasn't too gifted. I give condolences to whatever Dalibor is going through though.
@@dawnrock2391 Man just chillout, watch his previous videos, and watch how he can creatively put knowledge into fun, dont be salty
@@dhriadel Ok I believe you
Your different characters have legit become a part of my music creation during studio time, because they make some dry learning materials addictively memorable. Cheers!~
Prance is back😂😂😂😂 he a wild dude
After years of struggling to learn this shit comes this guy and teaches it in 7mins
So glad we've got legends left like Prance Connors, After the passing of Barry Harris its important the youth still have access to such masters of harmony
Isn't this dude an international treasure? This humor tickles my sweat spots. Err, I mean sweet pots. Spots!
tickles your WHAT
This channel is great at explaining music theory. You've clearly studied it. Too many channels just "wing it."
It's so obvious they've never studied it properly and think their ears and vague analogies will be enough. Name an interval by number or say "major third" and they'll be lost.
I watched several videos on this topic, even Rick Beatos but...just wow, this is the first time i actually understood what modes are.
Thank you for existing man. Keep going!
All you really need to know is you take the major scale and just change what note you start on. There's some chord theory that goes into it too if you wanna go to the next level, but modes like Phrygian tend to have a droned root while they just play around the already cool sounding scale.
I don't think you actually understand modes.
I think the more difficult it is to reconcile the mode with traditional major/minor, the more songwriters will tend to drone and/or make the idea sound really modal. For example, it’s more likely that phrygian or locrian songs will use riffs that overtly and obviously center their tonic than say, Dorian or Mixolydian
As a Chico State grad, I wish they actually taught this in my classes.
Man, you are super smart and super gifted! I watch your videos a couple of years now even if I am a professional composer and producer for TV and Documentaries. The simplicity of the way you tansmit the knowledge is by far the best I 've ever seen and your sense of humor betrays a super clairvoyant guy. Just wanted to say it. Greetings from Athens Greece
thanks so much belly from the underworld. matching the scales to certain songs is very smart and a game changer
It's not a game changer dude. It's literally the whole game.
Best explanation to basic scales I've ever seen! Thank you!
Such a humble, Innocent & loving Professor😂😂I would feel terrible not to give this video a thumbs up!
The best explanation of scales EVER, Thanks!
Fudging hilarious, don't ever stop making these videos bro!
I've just discovered the scale button yesterday and this video just went out . Perfect timing
After a long time, I've been making an effort to at least know SOMETHING about music theory and scales.
I had been wondering when I'd be able to actually understand what was going on with Key Modes. Then, this video comes along, and after a bit of exploring after watching, it's really helped me understand. Thanks!
😂how tf does he do it so well every time? I love the picture in the background of him hugging his angry and regretful wife💀, always playing such an unaware and unhygienic character that sounds like he’s being told what to say with a gun to his head lmao. Keep it up geeza
I've been watching you since I started three years ago, same amazing content and still extremely helpful, much love -oaks
this is getting better and better
Love to see youre back from your sabbatical!
Love this dude!!!!
THANKS you are the best professor!
Thanks professor, hoping the best blessing days
This man and his videos deserves way muuuch more views and appreciation
I love these characters. Fine work.
Wow this channel is underrated, so educational, thanks!
Great job on this video. Always a great watch
The scale playslists is a great idea !
You nailed it! Great job!
Thank you so much Professor !
Haven't learned and laughed so much in one video! Superb!
Thank you for taking the time to break this down for me
I will never miss classes anymore ! :-)) Excellent and very instructive actually !
Marvelous! 🧡
I love Prof. Underbelly. I keep watching his stuff and get too scared to submit my piece for roasting. But I keep watching. I also know that he actually has a virtuoso pianist up his sleeve. Please everybody support the Professor.
Thanks, Professor Underbelly!
Best Prof in the world, that swag...
Thank you prof. Connors!!
this quality humor lol. i hope you and geraldine are having a good day!
This video is golddddd
please never stop uploading
thank you prance. now we know
This dude could literally be a stand up comedian
I wish I laughed this much learning at school since the humor helps me remember the subjects better
This is definitely better than the music theory textbook pdf I downloaded!
man wtf this "trick" about moving one semitone up and only use the "white" keys really is a major game changer in my understanding of this jesus christ! My man! Love your stuff
Love this
That party looked lit 🔥
What a great character! And tutorial of course!
Thank you professor!
Great vid dude
I love your vibe bro thanks for all
That was great - Thank you
One thing I would love from the Ableton Piano Roll is the ability to modulate scales halfway through a clip. So it would be cool if I could set a breakpoint or automation point saying I want it to be Mixolydian after two bars, and then for the Clip Scale to automatic change what notes are highlighted depending on where I'm clicking in the timeline.
You can bodge this in by adding a separate MIDI track (not connected to an instrument) with all the notes of the scale all playing at once. Draw in all the scale changes, give it a distinctive color, and rename it to SCALEREF or something. Then whenever you want to edit something, use MIDI multi-edit to edit both the track you want to change and SCALEREF at the same time. Send SCALEREF to the background _et voila,_ dynamic scale highlighting in whatever color you chose for SCALEREF. It's not automated, but it's easy enough to fix the reference track if you make changes to the structure of the song.
This is a trick I stole a long time ago from one of my buddies who uses FL.
Best videos on the interwebs hands down
Thank you from the bottom of my heart… Chico State grad class of 2006
Professor ur the best!
The immense knowledge needed to create music will never outshine the ability to be creative subjectively.
The funniest channel on CZcams. And educational too.
That was great!
Awsome you rock man
Such a weird guy…. 😂😂😂
These videos always keep me entertained. Can’t wait to see what other characters come out of that crazy brain of yours. Keep them coming!! 👍🏼
Thanks a lot for sharing the notes... Great video btw
Dude u are so crazy but an awesome teacher
You Sir are a genius!

I love the professor. More!
Protect this man at all costs.
Thaaaaaaaaank you Mr. Prance Connors
great character!
Professor Connors is the coolest academic ever!
You are amazing and fkn hilarious, Thanks!
YES! Prance is back!
It's evolwing. Holy crap it's evolving
HES BACK
Artistic and pedagogical.
As always great vid, However, it would be great if you could do a video showing these scales being applied in a chord progression and melody, as this is where many tutorials leave a lot of people confused.
Will do!
@@yousuckatproducing And even further, how to determine how to change to a nearby scale in the progression and melody to change things up without sounding too far off.
@@yousuckatproducing I learned more in this vid than I have in many years of classical training and shitting around at home. Thank you, professor. Can't wait for learning about progressions too.
love it
Perfection.
TATAYAYA!, ME HACES TANTO REÍR
One thing to note is to never be afraid to borrow chords from other scales
thanks a lot. Very informative.
Much obliged, internet beat man. I have my Berklee audition coming up and I assume they’re gonna wanna know the mode of the song I make. Intriguing truly
added every playlist. Was going to sign up for more lessons. remembered you only teach ableton.
