Chords for 4 Levels Of Chords - NOOB vs PRO vs HACKER vs EXPERT

Let's make four levels of [G] chord progressions from noob to pro to [Am] hacker to expert so you can know
if you suck at this [Bm] or not and at the end of the video we'll compare how these progressions
[D] sounds like in a song.
Let's start with the noob.
So [G] in this level we're going to talk a little bit
about something called [E] music theory.
[Abm] _ _ [B] If you're a noob you probably made [Eb] something called a triad
which is a chord with three notes.
[E] So let's [G] just create this E [Eb] note since the E minor scale is
highlighted.
Now we need two more [Bbm] notes which are going to be the [G] third and the fifth and they are
[B] called the third and the fifth [Ab] because they are the third and fifth [Fm] notes from [Abm] the first note in
the chord in accordance to this game and [Gm] now we got an E minor [Em] chord. _
_ _ [C] But if you've leveled up to
[Dm] advanced noob you know that if [F] the third note in this [G] chord was one semitone [E] up from this note
it would instead be a major chord.
So yeah that's how you make [G] a major and minor chord it's just
this one note difference.
_ So let's make a chord progression with this technique like do the first
third fifth like bing [D] bang bong bing bang [Cm] bong you smell me and [Abm] that's it boys we got a [Eb] new chord
progression.
[Em] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ Let's get into the pro level.
So let's take this same [C] chord progression that sounds
[E] [Cm] and make it sound more nice.
[Ab] To do that we unfortunately need [Abm] to know more [E] about music [Bb] theory.
You can't keep getting [Eb] away with it.
First we can just copy and move [Eb] the bass notes down one [Em] octave
because that's an easy way to make it [C] sound fuller.
[Eb] And then if you're a pro songwriter you know what
[Ab] sevenths and ninths are.
A seventh is [C] two notes up [Abm] from the fifth in accordance to [C] your scale.
[D] One
and two and jackpot baby [Em] we got a seventh chord. _ _
[Eb] Usually they tend to [Gm] sound kind of sweet [C] or dreamy
and [E] ninths are [Gb] obviously two notes up from the seventh.
This is a [Em] jazzy chord you know you just
want to jazz around basically yeah.
_ [G] So let's [Fm] hear where these chords may [Bb] fit in our progression.
[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] Next thing to know [Cm] about [Ab] is voicing which just refers to the placement [Bb] of notes that we already
[Fm] have in the chords.
[Cm] So let's do what [G] EDM [Eb] artists often do move the [Db] third up an octave and boom
we change the voicing [C] guys.
Last thing we can do is just [Gb] add a rhythm to make [Bb] it more interesting.
Now we got some pro level [Em] chords.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [Bb] And by the way if you want to learn everything [Eb] you need to
produce electronic music in [Db] seven days check [Eb] out my course.
You'll get [Ab] exercises, [Eb] cheat sheets,
discounts on plugins and also an entire bonus [Ab] course on how to [G] mix all the elements of [Ab] electronic
music.
Link in [Dm] description.
Now for the third level [G] the hacker level.
In this [A] _ _
[Ab] _ [Bb] version we will make
the best chord [E] progression mankind has ever [Eb] experienced.
Let's make a [Db] chord progression
without that shit ass [B] music theory.
First click [E] this arrow button [Eb] then go to stamp and stamp
minor ninth.
[Db] Don't ask me [B] why just do it.
[Bb] Then stamp this baby [Eb] anywhere doesn't matter where.
[Db] Next select everything and press ctrl [B] plus o.
And now [Eb] for the final _ _ _ 1337.
Beat, [Db] hacker [Gbm] trick, press alt [B] plus k.
Then pick your scale and the chord [Fm] progression will [Ebm] adjust to your scale [Db] automatically.
That's it boys.
[Em] Now we can just play around with the voicing and find a [G] beautiful chord progression.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Cm] The last chord unfortunately sounded absolutely [Dm] disgusting.
Guys please pray for this chord.
[Eb] I will now crack the chord [Db] by selecting and pressing alt plus [B] k.
That loud easy.
Now [Bb] let us hear this
masterpiece [Eb] in brute force.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Eb] But anyway let's [Bb] just create the final expert level chord progression.
Here we need to know more [Eb] about music theory.
So an easy way to level up this pro chord progression
is to make what's called sus chords.
And sussy chords are [B] chords where the middle [Bb] note in a
[Ab] triad is either on the second [F] or fourth note instead of the third.
[Gb] These chords tend to sound
kind of tense and [A] unresolved but that also makes them interesting.
So let's add two sus 2 chords
before the second and fourth chord.
_ [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Gb] To make it sound even more beautiful we need even more dissonance.
So an easy and cool way to add [F] this is by just having two notes in [Gb] the chord that's a half step
from each other.
This basically creates the ultimate amount of dissonance.
Just listen to this. _
_ _ [D] On their own they sound like trash but the beauty comes when you add it into a chord. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
In [F] this scenario
I still think it sounds a little bit too [Gm] dissonant.
So a way [Gb] to mitigate that is to just move one of
these notes down one octave and the [G] dissonance will be less noticeable.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] And now it sounds [E] amazing.
[Gb] Last thing we can do to truly make them expert [Db] level [Em] is to fill these chords up with more notes
to make them sound fuller.
If you want to use music theory you [C] could just fill every chord with
a tonic [G] note or the fifth note [Em] and it usually sounds [C] good.
But in my opinion if you add the
same note to every chord the chords tend [G] to lose their identities.
[D] So what I do [F] is use my ears and
just add [Bb] notes where it sounds good.
And that's it boys.
Here's the final chord [Em] progression. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Now let's [Bb] also hear these [Eb] progressions in the song and let me [Cm] know in the comments which one
you like the most.
See ya. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _

One more night
[Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ It's just too [Em] hard to move me standing right there
It's just [G] too hard to walk away [Gbm] and leave it like that
Can we [Em] give it one more night Just one more [G] night
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
