Creating Beautiful Minor Chord Progressions
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- Chords are the foundation of all our popular songs, and I'm often asked how to write a chord progression. Today I'll show you some more minor chord progressions, to really capture that sad or moody feeling.
The first thing you'll need to do is figure out which minor chords you can use. That will depend on the key that you are in. To see our lesson on knowing which chords sound good together, just click here:
• How To Know What Chord...
We're in the key of G today, so I know that the minor chords in that key are Am, Bm, and Em. So that is the minor ii, iii, and vi (we use small roman numerals to represent minor chords).

I wonder if C minor chord will do the trick to make a happy chord
"Are you sad yet? It's SO moody!" She said, sounding positively giddy about the somber, melancholy atmosphere she just created.
I just realized that you can create different types of sad
Holy crap that’s deep
Dude
Lmao
"you can get addicted to a certain type of sadness"
William Healy I can attest to this
Its strange how we all strive for happiness and to avoid sadness but in terms of art we seek it out.
That's because we express ourselves through art, it's a way of healing :)
@@zafnaseer9196 never thought if it like that that's actually Hella true
Because this musical type of sadness is beautiful,
but its not like that in real life.
Idk, real life sadness isn't beautiful
expressing sadness and pain allows us to live in its pure existence and hence kind of sets us free, you become one with it
Never felt so comfortable feeling sad before
😂
"I miss the comfort in being sad"
I really like this teacher! She seems super thrilled to be sharing her passion in a joyous way that become contagious when you're following along with her. Definitely subscribing.
Thank you!
Yep, there are some boring teachers out there haha
Agree jimbodawg. I couldn’t have said it better.
Why isn’t this the most liked one
I finally started making some good progress in FL Studio 20 after using the first chords she taught us
Your video inspired me to write the following progression.
Em - Bm - C - G - Am - Em/G - F# - B
i just tried it and i love that Em/G right there!!!
Tried it, but it wasn't making sense to my ear. While trying your progression, I however accidentally discovered Minor 6 - Minor 3 - Major 2
@@EasyyokeFilms I like that a lot. It has so much potential.
Very nice! I changed it to
Em-Bm-Am-G-Am-Em-F#-B and that's really nice as well.
@@flickering_wick I love it!
As electronic music producer with zero actual musical talent I came here to learn something, understood literally nothing, but I really like you as a person and your piano skills are amazing
Welcome to the club dude.
Same here.
i was like this 6 years ago, keep it on bro!!
As a fellow producer, this is a relatable sentiment. Fortunately, the hardest part of learning music theory and production is consistency and dedication. Just don't stop doing it. Never stop. Take breaks if you need 'em (days, weeks, months), but NEVER give it up. Keep it at it. It WILL eventually click. It's hard to notice progress in the present, but once you get some perspective provided by the past, you'll be able to see (and hear) the difference! When I look at tracks I made two years ago, my eyes widen at the progress I've made since then.
@@Symphoniics this comment means so much to me. even if not directed at me in particular.
She's playing that "I caught you cheating on me" music
Hahaha
that second progression xD
wow.. . my dumbass went and search for it lol.
lol
😂
Gm-Bb-Eb-F is a nice one I know. It isn’t sad, it’s more nostalgic, but it’s a very beautiful chord progression
3:01 gives me final space vibes
Those are the actual chords
My man olan rogers
this first chord sounds like Time by Hans Zimmer
@@zeldor7124 For sure! That's what I thought when I heard it
it reminds me Radiohead´s song ¨Karma Police¨
I’m a guitar player but found this lesson really useful! Great for songwriting/ creating backing tracks by putting chords together. Just subscribed so
Keep it coming!
New videos every Tuesday and Friday!
One of the best teachers PERIOD. Simple, accurate and effective. Lovin it!
I appreciate this sooooo much! I love this channel
Your energy is magnetizing very fun to learn from!
:)
She has such an effective way of communicating these ideas and teaching in general 👍
if you know a little music theory or cadence.
Counting G Maj alter the IV to C min, D Maj into G Major ( Harmonic MAJOR)
You can play it as C dim too....it's a chord from E harmonic min or G harmonic MAjor
Or sometimes to end a song play D Maj into G min chord
if play G min C Maj. D maj...it's just G melodic min
but you can play the D maj into the G MAJOR again...
it's done from Cadence....
E aeo b5 is just Vi mode of G melodic min..
Play E min pentatonic #4/b5...or as a passing note.
or Play F Major into the E min chord...it's just the N6 chord.
I do it all the time...Loud too....
or you'll hear it in the Beatles ...A day in a Life.
The F Maj or playing a b2 into the E min...makes it sound darker/mystical
or play A dim ( A min #4) it's just the D# note..it's going to want to resolve
into the E note..But the A chord is un stable and darker o sounding
it's the same note as C min ( Eb) into E
if you play C dim or #4 it's just Eb into E or F# into G
or if you play A min pentatonic #4/b5 into E minor
if you play B minor pentatonic b5 into E..it's just the F note into E
Xdd
Spoiler alert: the prerequisite for understanding this comment is not just a little music theory
I had to take quite some time to understand this. Or maybe this is just a guitarist thing 😂😂
Rudra P i play guitar and i can’t even understand this 🤣 I’m pretty good but I’m self taught and only play Mexican music
OneEye Monster Nibba, what?
I understand what these chords mean and how they relate to one another, but the directions are not the clearest.
the sound of the piano is amazing as always.
Indeed!
She's so good at simplifying things, love these videos. Thank you!
Love your videos. Such powerful information delivered in such a small amount of time. I really liked the 2-1-5 progression that you played through! Look forward too more lessons.
We release new videos every Tuesday and Friday!
2:00 - "the Hopeful Lift"...just named my next song. You're awesome.
These progressions reflect the absolute beauty of this pianist...
"I'm a minor chord kind of dreamer..."
Thank you for the informative and easy to understand tutorial . Personally I think it's amazing how changing the scale and progressions in a piece of music can give such an accurate depiction of mood, changing from sad to hopeful to uplifting etc. Music is magical 🙏
I was in a nasty motorcycle accident 7 months ago and my left arm has finally healed enough to practice piano again..i had played the piano for 9 years and sincerely forgot how to play after the accident same goes for my guitar..im glad lessons are so readily available on CZcams now than they were years ago and watching your videos has kind of pieced together the puzzle though not entirely as the accident has hurt my left hands leggato but im sincerely glad about videos like this.
Her:" do you feel sad yet"
Me:"am always sad"
Aw I'm sorry :(
She play piano. I will play worlds smallest violin for you ,k?
These are the best piano tutorials I have ever found. Very well done and produced. Congratulations. You have a new follower. After only three weeks I am improving a lot. Thanks a lot for all these very good lessons
I've just become immediately addicted to these chords! I'm by no means a piano player, just a bit of keyboard for my productions.. but i already have my notes jotted down from this video and feeling inspired so much by these beautiful sounds! Thank you! :D Definitely recommend your videos to aspiring pianists!
I kinda feel like 3:51 is not getting enough run in the comments here. The grace note that turned a regular old iv into an Em7#5/C; the add(4) that supercharged the v and the 7 that you added to the minor vi (and knowing that that’s a great order to apply these tricks on a iv-v-vi run … that’s where your wizardry really lies. Loved this!
2:46 - sounds like “To Build a Home” by Cinematic Orchestra haha, great video!
DAMN. I was LITERALLY about to type this exact comment. Yea, it's almost identical.
Exactly what I was thinking too! I started singing it too
yep just about to comment that
Also Time by Hans Zimmer
I was thinking more of Brian Eno's Ascent here
Absolutely loving these tutorials!! Please don't stop these are amazing.
You are amazing. Thank you so much for being you. You´re teaching style is so easy and comforting ❤
I coul already feel the omnisphere presets in those chord she's playing
3:27
Lady Gaga - Paparazzi
Sing along and you'll see
"i'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me, papa, paparazzi"
This is beautiful but this is going straight over my head😭
Lisa, you really are the best teacher. Because of my fellow taurean, I find myself putting the guitar down and gravitating to the piano when I have an idea in my head. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to take piano more seriously.
Another excellent 10 minutes spent watching Pianote. These sessions are always very good.
Those opening chords bought tears to my eyes... I know more than ever that I'm on a beautiful journey learning the piano. Amazing, thank you so much!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I wish I would become a teacher like u...God bless you dear
expressing sadness and pain allows us to live in its pure existence and hence kind of sets us free, you become one with it
Im so happy I found your Chanel!!!! God bless you for giving me back motivation. Buying my keyboard this month!
I have your 500 songs in 5 days program. I just love your energy and your teaching style, you're great!
3:44 when she transitioned to higher key tears started rolling down
You are an amazing teacher!
Wow! Lyrics come out my mind as she hits those keys
"So when you take these minors and you combine them" 😳😳💀💀
Bruhhhh🤣🤣😳
HAHAHAH
Anyone else hear some claps and 808s while she's playing? 😂
Everytime
LMAO yep
Ong
I can get them too
Too be exact can even hear Roddy on most of them
4,5,6 I just can’t.. this is my favorite of all time, it’s so beautiful, sad and hopeful
I've just started learning guitar a week ago, and trying to take on some music theory to explore chords and scales for creating, and this was so much more helpful than 90% of guitar videos I have watched.
Incredibly informative and a delight to listen to.
Thank you so much!! First video... immediately subscribed.
1:48 - 2:05 - this is basically really good piece right there.
Man, Melissa Joan Hart looks different since her Sabrina days. Didn't know she knew how to play piano, though. Very nice
Hahaha
A phenomonal example of PROGRESSION 2 can be heard in Hans Zimmer's "Time" (the final orchestration from the film 'Inception') but with a IV,I,III,VI progression in Em. Zimmer's use off the add9 in both the IV (Amadd9) and VI (Cadd9) evokes a sadness that is becoming alien to many people nowadays, a nostalgic, yearning, sublime, deep-murmur of the heart that both captures both the gift and the curse that is TIME relative to the human experience. Pure musical genius at its finest.
My favorite was definetely the very first one, from Em, To Bm, to the G. I heard it for the first time. I had to replay it because I didn't understand how it could be so beautiful or if I was hearing right. It sounded angelic. Whatever that piano is, I want it. Keppup the amazing work Pianote.
I love those minor chord progressions, sound sooo serious...♪♫♪
2:55 through 3:50 is literally Hope is a Dangerous Thing by Lana Del Rey
I'm a beginner pianist and I just had an orchestra vst. Now I know where to start in making my epic composition.
Very cheerful...sometimes I feel that I have seen her in Hollywood movies...generates positive energy and interest...keep it up...
3:00 sounds like hope is a dangerous thing by Lana Del Rey
she's playing and talking. what sorcery is this
Taaaaaaahahaha
Lololol she knows that she’s doing!
Merlinic
I learned it! I learned it! *The sorcery
F major chord progression 1: F major in root position 2: E diminished 3: C major 4 F major 3rd inversion. repeat this or go on 1: D minor 2: C# diminished 3: A major 4 D minor 3rd inversion. here you can go back to F major OOOR continue again and go 1: B diminished 2: C major 3: G major 3rd inversion 4: C major. then 1: A minor 2nd inversion 2: G# diminished 2nd inversion 3: E major root position 4: C major 2nd inversion. finally back to F major 1: F major. Im not entirely sure if someone has done this before I'm sure someone would have as it doesn't seem to complex but please enjoy it :)
Sure glad I piano lessons in High School. I’m a guitarist; sold our home, gave my inherited Wurlitzer piano to my grown nephew living on a ridge in beautiful Scotts Valley, California.
My evening has been made 🙂
Fr u not lyin
You can also play a Dm chord in G major. It has a very melancholic feel to it.
TheBobiaan wrong
@@francissanto12 Wrong indeed, it should be Cm instead.
The minor 5 would only really work in gospel/jazz. Not really for this
@@nozzawozza98 I meant Cm, a minor fourth.
@@nozzawozza98 czcams.com/video/YGRO05WcNDk/video.html 3:25
You’re saving me from playing the same things my mind goes to every time I improv practice. This video taught me so much!
I think my favorite combo is the IV V vi chords. I can’t stop playing them. They’re so beautiful
2:35 My Immortal by Evanesence
The Ultimate omg!!
Great tips thanks! The ii - I - V progression made me think of Nils Frahm's track Some.
Been getting back into playing piano as an adult after only playing long ago as a child. These videos are amazing at teaching simple musical theory, thank you!
Pianote, thank you for posting this video.
I appreciate the speaker's candor and teaching style. The big takeaway for me is taking the standard progressions and mixing their order up for a fresh type of "moment". Very order idea!
Saludos Amiga, Buen TRABAJO. Saludos desde México ....
3:00 Dizzy -- Stars And Moons
HI Lisa, i am so glad i found you... Incidentally i purely play by ear so notation is not for me at all, but i have marked these videos because i neeeeeed my kids to play. They are 12 and 13, both musical but will be absolute beginners on the piano. Also i wanted to comment on this particular video, Lisa they are not sad notes at all, sad does not feel that nice, instead i suggest that you use the term Melancholic... yeah moody, but good moody. It ties in with our temperaments, bubbly lovely people like you may see them sad but melancholies like me see they are amazingly beautiful and oh, hard not to like!!! Have a great day, and thank you so much for this work on CZcams. We are getting ready to join the family for sure.
this is the best video I have ever seen about feelings and mood. You are very easy to learn from. I really appreciate you doing these videos.
My parents signed me up for piano lessons to learn classical music but I ended up using the music theory skills to make trash trap beats lol
Lmao ikr. We younglings can vibe on it and feel and embrace the agressive groove. Our parents are just disgusted though😂 when I use 808's I'll never send it to my parents
@@arie8515 Lol same
Gracias...muy buen video👍
This lesson was meant for more advanced musicians. You need a bit of music theory knowledge in order to follow her. I have some knowledge in music theory and some training in playing guitar and piano, but it wasn't easy for me to follow her either. Yes she was a bit fast. Great lesson nevertheless. I think she created this lesson more for the reason to inspire us and to give us new keys and new ways to look at creating music and composing to inspire us to express our feelings. That is what music in the end is (at least to me): the expression of our feelings and our uniqueness and our mind. And with the time when you develop your creative possibilities you learn that there isn't really a difference between our emotions and our mind or thinking processes. They are actually one.
i could watch and listen to you play forever
2:55 - Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have by Lana Del Rey?
I mean a lot of songs use that progression but yes her song works
She was going into that naruto sad vibes for a second when she went high 3:43
This is the happiest lesson on sad songs I've ever seen
This is powerful stuff! I am going to get on this and do some experimentation. I am happy that I have just recently come across your teachings. I think that I am currently needing to refine my direction a bit while I keep expanding on my development. I quite like your intuitive based approach to teaching. I got the feeling towards the end of this teaching session that the notes and chords could be used to create an epic story as it creates a lot of mood. Love these sounds and style of solo piano.
I would recommend explaining it in E minor, rather than G major.
You've done it again, another outstanding lesson for piano performance and music theory. Top job!!! :) :) :) Lots of thanks and appreciation.
You are a good Karen. Thank you.🙏
Hi there: I'm an 'advanced' player, but you are still helping me with simple, direct, heartfelt ideas and lessons.. you are a rare talent!
Lol when she plays note in higher octave and says for extraa sadness hahahah , she is awesome
Can you make an entire tutorial on how to play that harmony from 1:20. It’s amazing!!
The flat 7 is also useful for these progressions too. Take for example : IV-bVII-I-ii-V7/vi which can lead into vi in the next phrase, which is the start of most minor chord progressions like vi-I-V-vi
I’ve always loved using the flat 7 for unexpected movement. Especially on guitar where diminished chords can get muddy quick.
This video and a lady is a treasure - how to map chords with human emotions.
Thanks and hats off 👏👏🤗
Happy to give a like before watching your video
I really want a piano man i wanna learn how to play so bad
Download the piano app... Or get a very cheap keyboard... Not to cheap that it sounds like a child's piano... Also piano is a great instrument to learn!
You can pick up a cheap keyboard for 25 quid, these days even the cheapest ones have pro standard sounds. Pawn shops are your best bet
Yea bro keyboards are hella cheap. No excuses lol
Same I also always wanted to learn, well, I then I bought a keyboard and started drilling basics.
Thank you so much and for the link suggested - shall go thru it. (I actually play accordion as an obsessive 'hobby' - listen & play -can't read music - but these piano tutorials have helped me to 'improve' my accordion playing a lot -though too late in the day for me personally)! Please keep doing the good work - you are otherwise- a very fine Instructor. Warm Regards.
It's worth noting you can use the vii° chord - the diminished chord - as a way of resolving to the tonic chord as an alternative to a simple V - I.
Yes! Love it! You should look into some of the different variations of a diminished harmonic resolution! Fascinating stuff! Italian 6 resolutions are my favorite! :)
0:58 I...giorno giovanna
3:44 I feel like this is a scene from naruto
Best channel for piano. Simply the best! Thanks for all the useful tips
Ma'am your notes is really helpful.😊
Man shes makin me fall in love. 🤦🏽♂️
Don't fall in love dare to by that c # note
2:55 Basically Hans Zimmer - Inception
I still think VI - IV - I - V is my favorite chord progression because of the the rollercoaster of emotions it gives you
You are my teacher easy to learn with you blessings
