Post Your Questions HERE for Tomorrow's Live Q+A
Added 2022-09-06 00:53:42 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the comments and questions on last week's lesson on Modes and am going to be filming a follow-up lesson to post this Friday. It will address all the questions you asked there, and hopefully more :)
Tomorrow night (Sept 6) at 8PM CST I'll be firing up the ole stream machine to answer your musical questions. In case you're new here, here's the drill- post your question below and I'll answer them in the order they're received.
If you need to attach a link or a file, you may need to email it to me (signalsmusicjake@gmail.com) because Patreon sometimes removes links.
I'll post a link to the lesson tomorrow night, 1 hour before going live. If you're logged into YouTube you can join the livechat and ask questions near the end of the stream, but if not, you can always watch the whole broadcast later on.
Ask away!

A. How do you define a chord ? why/how do we use a chord in music or background score if there is singer and if there is not singer. B. If modes do not have tonal center how to make a home to a modal chord progression, C. Please demo model interchange and explain with an example if possible Jake. D. I feel music and coding software are similar how to make music more organic and human rather than a scientific thing. E. Phrygian and Lydian and dorian are easiest to recognize and major, How to identify minor and mixo modes easily.

2022-09-07 00:36:14 +0000 UTCHi Jake, so I discovered something while working on the song I've been working on for a couple of months (and you've commented on). I've decided to name it Capris just to give it something to refer to. I was still curious as to what made the chord progression seem to lack a tonal center as you mentioned the first time you took a listen. So I mapped out the chords in the song and then compared them to a number of different keys/modes. And I discovered that the chord progression fits not only B minor but six other chord progressions as well! B min Bm - C#dim - D - Em - F#m - G - A G Maj G - Am - Bm - C - D - Em - F#dim E min Em - F#dim - G - Am - Bm - C - D A Dorian Am - Bm - C - D - Em - F#dim - G B Phrygian Bm - C - D - Em - F#dim - G - Am C Lidian C - D - Em - F#dim - G - Am - Bm D Mixolodian D - Em - F#dim - G - Am - Bm - C They shared the same chords and the others keys/modes beside B minor all had a natural C which B minor lacks. So my question is, is it typical that changing one note leads to tonal ambiguity or did I just happen to hit the tonal chaos jackpot? Oh, and here's the updated song Capris: https://soundcloud.com/user-834279913-494217831/capris?si=47218f0bbe434ffdbdef3fb0acc788f9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
