Understanding 6/8 TimeThis video is part of a series on rhythm. Here's the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTKhUdPIHIuiryDKJ86cbgvwU4RkIiWhs
The compound time signatures (6/8, 9/8, and 12/8) are some of the hardest to get a grasp on. I get into dotted notes, compound time vs. simple time, and the reason why they're written so strangely.

*update* Reeeeeealy sorry about the focus problems. I'm going to take my camera out into a field and re-enact the printer scene from Office Space. I'd record it again but I just really don't have the energy.
This video is about how crazy time signatures work, like 7/8 and 15/16. Also a bit about triplets, duplets, and reading more than one rhythm at once.
The Circle of Fifths - How to Actually Use ItSupport me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/michaelnew

This lesson is on time signatures, how they work, and some simple methods on how to make sense of them. Covers some of the simple time signatures like 4/4, 3/4, 2/2, 5/4, etc., and I try to lay some foundation for the more complex ones like 6/8 or 9/8.
I feel like a lot of teachers and textbooks make these a lot harder than they should be. Hopefully this takes some of the mystery out of them.
Also, really sorry about the autofocus issues. I'll make sure that doens't happen in the next one. Again, don't buy a Sanyo.

How to Change KeysCheck me out on Patreon if you want to help me make more of these: http://patreon.com/michaelnew
This lesson is all about changing keys. It's a tough topic, but if you understand what it means to change keys you should begin to understand a lot more about how music works in general.
This lesson is pretty in depth, but not necessarily complicated. It does help to understand a few things first though, like:
Major and Minor Keys: https://youtu.be/rHlWP-nc4tM
The Circle of Fifths: https://youtu.be/d1aJ6HixSe0

The first part of the music writing journey is just a basic chord progression. Next lession we'll be adding melody, but for now we'll be looking at how harmony changes and what kind of musical effect that will have.

BTW the video ends at 8:30. I don't know why it ended up with 7 minutes of nothing at the end.
Introduction to ModesModes are one of the coolest musical concepts to learn. Once you have a grasp on modes you can start expanding your music and go well beyond the usual major and minor scales.
Check me out on Patreon if you want to help me make more of these: http://patreon.com/michaelnew
UPDATE: Quite a few people have pointed out that the Phrygian mode isn't all that uncommon in certain styles of music, and I was pretty dismissive of both the Phrygian and the Locrian modes in this video. I think I let my own musical biases show through more than they should have, and I'll try to be more careful about that in the future. So... yeah. Sorry.
I learned an important lesson though: If you want people to comment on your video, just say something they don't like :)
How to Write Music - What You'll Need to KnowThis is part 1 in the series. Here's part 2: https://youtu.be/QBhJsShMF2g and part 3: https://youtu.be/-E1kpWZPEuA
Since we've already covered the basics of music theory, I think it's time to start learning how to write music. We'll be using those basic concepts of chords, keys, inversions, etc to start weaving chords together, add melodies, rhythm, and all the subtle things that bridge the gap between theory and actual music. This video is just to go over what you'll need to know before we start so you can make sure you're ready.

Why C major is Bad (and other random topics)I get asked these questions a lot, and I though I'd answer them.
1 - I made something up that I don't understand, is that cool?
2 - Why do you always teach things in random keys? That's so dumb.
3 - Is a scale the same thing as a key?

How the Roman Numeral System Works - Music TheoryThe Roman Numeral system is a way of writing down and understanding the relationships between chords. It's very simple, and understanding it will give you a better way of writing down your own ideas, mapping out what you want to do musically, and give you a clearer picture of music overall.

How to Turn a Mode Into MusicThis video looks at how a lydian mode goes from a fairly meaningless scale into chords, melody, and actual music.
This is definitely the most advanced music theory lesson I've uploaded to date (as well as the longest). If you can get through it though you'll be a better musician, have a deep feeling of spiritual enlightenment, and be an inch taller. Seriously though; it's a powerful concept.

How to Invert ChordsThis is a music theory lesson all about chord inversions. Inverting chords is a simple concept; you just play notes in different octaves so the chord gets sort of "flipped around". You can use inversions to make a chord sound different (and a lot of times more interesting), but most importantly you can invert the chords in a chord progression to move smoothly and fluidly from one to another. If you aren't comfortable with basic chords yet you might want to start with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y01jIorpeA
UPDATE: If you're wondering why I used a B major chord at the end of this video, you can see the full explanation here: https://youtu.be/Q7WqKpD7w4Q

Why C major and A minor are Not the SameThis one is all about relative keys. If two keys have all the same notes in them, how are they different? I also talk a about the whole tone scale, the harmonic minor scale, and a bit about modes.

Minor Scales - Natural, Harmonic, and MelodicThe natural minor! The harmonic minor! The melodic minor! Like, why do we even have them?
Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/michaelnew
This lesson isn't too hard, but you'll need to know what intervals are (like whole step, half step, etc.) and you'll need to have a basic idea of what a scale is.
Here's a good start on intervals and basic note relationships: https://youtu.be/5Y01jIorpeA
Here's a basic intro to major and minor scales: https://youtu.be/rHlWP-nc4tM

Major and Minor Keys (Music Theory)More music theory! Working on major and minor keys this time. This is a pretty good place to start if you're new to music theory, but you'll need to know what "whole step" and "half step" means. If you're not sure, I explained it in this video: http://youtu.be/5Y01jIorpeA That video is also good if you'd like to start learning about chords, which you'll want to know anyway for when we start fitting everything together for chord progressions, melodies, and just songwriting/improvising in general.

How Seventh Chords Work (part 2) - Music Theory Lesson 3This really just wraps up the whole concept of seventh chords we started in the last video. The chords we cover here are the major/minor seventh, the diminished sevenths, and the augmented seventh. After getting through this, you should have a very solid understanding of all the different kinds of chords you'll be encountering in music.

(Q&A) Circle of Fifths Misconceptions, How to Think About Modes, 6/8 & Piano CourseLet me know how you guys feel about this kind of thing. I like being able to talk a little more stream-of-consciousness and respond to questions and comments, but I have no idea what you think of it.
I'd also like to pass along this little bit of info: just because the sides of one of those Korean stone bowls are cool to the touch doesn't mean the bottom isn't hotter than Dante's ninth circle of hell. Be safe out there.
0:16 Why the Circle of Fifths will not slow you down
2:51 Have I thought about doing a piano course?
4:38 Should you just think of modes as a major scale with a different root?
7:43 Wouldn't 6/8 be the same thing as 3/4?
How Seventh Chords Work (part 1) - Music Theory Lesson 2This is the second music theory lesson in this little series, and this one is on seventh chords (chords with four notes). For some reason a lot of people learn the basic triads (three note chords), but they never really get comfortable with the seventh chords. There's no reason not to though. If you understand your triads then learning this is simple; you just learn how to find that fourth note and you're done. They're beautiful chords too, by the way.

or how major and minor keys work: http://youtu.be/rHlWP-nc4tM
This lesson is on chords, how they work, and the basic intervals that make them up. Learning the underlying music theory behind chords will not only allow you to find any chord you want, anywhere you want, it will also give you a solid foundation to build your entire understanding of music theory on.
I have a bachelor's in music (I took about a billion theory courses), and I'm a full time music teacher. After trying to help so many people learn music theory, I've decided that this is the best, most useful and most easily understood way into music theory. You don't need to know anything about music to get started on this, other than the names of the notes (and if you don't know that then google it; it's cake). Have fun.
