What does geometry SOUND like? The answer is music ... because music is audible geometry.
This video introduces the framework of patterns that make everything possible in music -- from scales and modes to chords and progressions:
The trick to actually seeing these patterns -- to really understanding how they work -- is to use color. Sometimes, people ask "Why use color? Doesn't that just make things more complicated because now we have to memorize even more stuff?"
It's a fair question on the surface. But if you dig a little deeper, the huge benefit of the colors becomes clear, as this video shows. Because the colors pack a one-two punch:
1) They illustrate notes better than traditional letter names
2) They also illustrate intervals better than traditional number symbols
And through one streamlined interface, you can see how the notes and intervals in all keys share a common framework of geometry -- that links them in an intricate web of relationships .... ...
Hey there. I worked on Lesson 19 (Circle of Fifths) all day yesterday. Here's a short update that we filmed last night. Enjoy!
Sup guys. Just got my lables and im so happy I found this course to help me. Hope you guys have a good one
Hello! No Open Hour this Saturday -- with Lesson 16 rolling out in the coming weeks, I'm working on the next video. (!) I'll see you next week.
Hey thanks to your course I’ve learned so much about music theory, will you go into more detail about technique? There’s so much to do with the guitar I’ve seen some chords where they mute certain strings to give an interesting sound and then hammer on and hammer off stuff like that, can you give a sort a guide/ illustration showing different ways/technique on the guitar?

The Circle of Fifths is your most powerful tool as a songwriter. With it, you can quickly make sense of chord progressions -- to see why a song sounds so good. Here, we look at a variety of tunes by different artists to learn how they composed their hits. It's like X-ray vision into the minds of these musicians....

Here are the diagrams to go through the examples yourself, identifying the tonic and chords in each song. (Illustrations with the numerals filled in are at the end.)
Cheers.
