Learn music theory in 29 minutes

Do you have 3 min 3rd combined? how do you call that? so C Eb Gb A

Thank you so much for this video, I restarted my attempts at piano since childhood , only to be totally confused…where had the crochets .,quavers, demi- semiquavers etc gone 😢 this was a new language. 🥴 Whats a d7th 😳
I have Found your very helpful video and suddenly I can understand again. At 80 years old I can feel hopeful of improving my brain cells 👍

FACE was really one of the most useful things i've learnt in a long time about music. Amazing content!

Why does this take so long?
I learned the complete music theory in just 17 minutes and 34 seconds!
So this tutorial is too slow and not everything is included!
Worthless, at least!

Without a doubt the best music tutorial on the internet. I have been looking for something like this for 5 years. There are so many out there but they all conflict and do not tell you what is important. I cannot believe it is only 382 comments. It should be 382 thousand!!.

Good video but I don't understand a bunch of it. For example, chord progressions. You say that C-G-Am-F sounds the same as D-A-Bm-G but they sound completely different to me. They don't feel similar at all to me so I'm super confused on that.

why not use the Do Re Mi notation? I say this mainly because it's what I was taught at school.

Thank you!

English is even not my native language, but this video helped me more than 8 years of (basic) musical theory in primary and middle school in my native language.

Great video! I play a really basic guitar and now I'm starting with piano/keyboard. All my life I saw guitar tabs with Cmaj and had no clue what it meant. That alone made the video for me. Thanks!

Didn’t know that all major chords were made of the same intervals. This’ll be so useful for trying to figure out chords, instead of using an app with all the chords. Been binging your content and it’s really been great for learning

one of the best condensed music theory videos I've found so far! Amazing channel

I studied music all my life, I thought this would bring me nothing, but you never know when you’re gonna learn something new, even the way you put together all this information is amazing.

Thank you!

Is it called a 7th because the final note in the chord is seven semitones after the root note? Also why is it called a third? I’m asking as my memory is jogged. Thanks!

Good video. But i dont like the "it HAS to be under 30min"- approach. That is really unnecessary

This was extremely helpful, thank you man

Awesome lesson!! Brings a lot of coherence to the tiny pieces of scattered theory I had! Thanks a lot!

very useful. thx

Christ almighty, this video explained things so well

been playing since 10 years and haven’t learnt a bit about music theory

Amazing. I tried so many times before see this video. I don’t feel I’m a total dumbass anymore.

57 years on this planet, and you have unlocked the rudiments of music for me finally in half an hour. God bless you, sir. I am weeping with joy.

Amazing informative video thanks

Getting it more musical adds context to the music theory. The most of the robust music theory has been solely academic.

Why is this not the very first video any child ever learning western music is ever shown. SO MANY YEARS of confusion and rote memorization could've been saved if this video had just been provided right at the beginning!

Wasn't 29 minutes long

i hate how it starts from C

Fkkng awesome THANK YOU David.. I know you need to make money but that's very very very generous of you to make this video.

Can you please do a video on key signatures if you have not already?

This was wonderful! You just picked up a new Patreon.

I knew almost none of that. I've been a music lover and casual guitar player for 20 years, but I'd never had one minute of theory or lessons. So this was wildly helpful!

I love this video/!!!!

What a perfect teacher you are ! Feeding all that is necessary for a complete beginner, Specific and to the point. No unnecessary boasting ! Really commendable ..All the best to you. May God Almighty bless you abundantly.

why do you play triads with fingers 123 ?

Wow, that key signature notation is really terrible from a language/encoding perspective. Like, let's make this really hard on everyone with needless exceptions! I would high key ban such a thing if I were a composer.

Possibly a silly question, but why 29 minutes rather than a nice round 30?

Learning to play megalovania:) XD

sus chord? WTF

This was unbelievably helpful! I have pretty much zero prior knowledge and experience, and I really want to learn music theory so that maybe I can learn how to play instruments more effectively! Great job! Your teaching style would make all this stuff I'm facing so much more fluid to learn!

Some brains may be receptive to this,
sharp keys SING doh Di ray Ri me far Fi so Si la Li te doh,
flat keys SING doh Ru ray Mu me far Su so Lu la Tu te doh
Our physical vocal apparatus now has sounds it can reproduce, when referencing the enharmonic notes of a chromatic scale

Amazing summary. Helps a lot!

You're a genius. That's it.

This was heaps enjoyable and perfectly presented for my brain thanks very much! Subscribed!

wow this was a great explanation, this really helped me understand minor and major chords 👍

What a brilliant video. Anyone wanting to learn music theory should watch this before even picking up an instrument, exercise book or sheet music of any kind. Bravo!
