UPDATE: Hello, this is Present Day Michael. I would like to point out that Past Michael chose his words poorly when he said “this chord doesn’t work”, and that statement has led to much anger and confusion throughout the eons (well since 2011 anyway). What he SHOULD have said was “by moving notes closer together than a minor third or farther apart than a major third, you’re creating an entirely new chord that you’re almost definitely not expecting, and you should watch this video to understand the crazy nonsense that’s happening here.” The great thing about improvised YouTube videos that unexpectedly become popular is that you can never change a single thing about them ever. Present Day Michael apologizes profusely for Past Michael’s mistakes.

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.

  1. man i love you thanks for teaching me this, I always thought that chording is super complicated and I started watching this in my recommendation and i was like wtf i need to take notes and I understood everything so easily

  2. really loved the video! i took some notes. i think it would’ve been helpful if there was a 30 second demonstration or “tying it all together” before jumping into the diminished intervals part. i had to pause on that part real quick but this helped a lot. ordering my keyboard this week!

  3. I have no idea if Michael has made a video on this but I think this may be helpful for some. I use a different way to know what notes are in any major, minor, diminished and augmented triad. It takes a little memorisation (which will mean you won't have to do any annoying maths whenever you want to find a Cm or Ab major chord for example)

    So memorise: 1) what intervals make up each triad. These are:

    Major (Root – Major 3rd – Perfect 5th)

    Minor (Root – Minor 3rd – Perfect 5th)

    Diminished (Root – Minor 3rd – Diminished 5th)

    Augmented (Root – Major 3rd – Augmented 5th).

    Get used to what internal needs to shift to get from one triad to another (e.g. for major to minor, you need just lower the major 3rd interval to a minor 3rd interval. Minor to diminished, you need lower the Perfect 5th to a diminished 5th etc…)

    2: Memorise these 7 triads of by heart and what chord quality they are:

    C E G – C Major
    D F A – D minor
    E G B – E minor
    F A C – F Major
    G B D- G Major
    A C E – A minor
    B D F – B diminished

    So after that, the way the method works is now you have a reference point for any possible chord. All you have to do is change the relative intervals when needed.

    For example: If I said what are the notes of C minor, all you have to do is first recall C E G being C Major and then change the interval that needs changing, in this case, to get from a Major to a minor chord, just lower the major 3rd (which is E in C Major) to a minor 3rd. So the notes of C minor would be C Eb G.

    Another example: if I asked for the notes of D major, then all you do is recall D F A (which is D minor) and then raise the 3rd, so D major would be D F# A.

    Hopefully that helps some people!

  4. How bout F major¹ or² or³ 1:04 because there's three versions of that cord like all cords. Oh you mean we can't use numerical exponents for another purpose..?
    The first triad¹ is rarely used for harmony it's almost minor in harmony and if used so greatly inhanced the music..!

  5. That was really helpful thank you. You explained a few key details that most people leave out like why it has to be a min 3rd in a dim chord, and maj 3rd for aug.

  6. For definitions like major third and major fifth —– I think the definitions are due to a flaw in the music definition theory. Major third 'actually' refers to the third note in a major scale, which happens to be four semi-tones higher than the root note, which could also be considered as three piano keys "in-between" the two keys. The first key could be considered as the root note. And the second key IS actually the 'major 3rd'. We play both keys together. And that's what I think they have incorrectly defined as a 'major third interval'.

    So – if we have C and E, then that's a minor third —- having three keys in between C and E. And D to F# is a major third as well, considered as three keys in-between them, or alternatively – considered as F# being four semi-tones higher than D. And a minor third has 2 notes in-between (which is one way of looking at it). Eg . C to D# is a minor third —- having 2 notes in-between C and D#. And E to G is a minor third as well. I think the confusion is due to the terms are not intuitive – because the back in the 'old days' that made up these terms —— actually messed up.

    Also – a perfect fifth really stems from the fifth note in a major scale ….. which could also be considered as the second note being 7 semi-tones higher than the root note. Or, alternatively — 6 notes in-between the two keys. And from that piece of information, it defines other 'perfect fifth' intervals. Eg. F to the higher C is a perfect fifth. When it comes to regular major scales …… the perfect fifth interval is really treating the second note to be the fifth note of a major scale, with the first note being the root. So instead of saying perfect fifth ——— some fancy name —– they probably should have called it major fifth.

  7. The full breakdown of the concept is great and very helpful for beginners in music theory, i think it would help though if you try to 'rush' a little less, as you speak quite fast and repeat a lot of what you have said before. It can make you 'tired' as a listener. Just a suggestion 🙂

  8. The first time music theory made any sense to me at all. It's really all just about the relationships between the distance of the notes and the varying degrees of dissonance that creates. Light bulb moment.
