    this is a communication form this is a

    storytelling game so of course we can
  • 00:01:45
    break the rules but we're gonna explore
  • 00:01:47
    those guidelines today we're gonna talk
  • 00:01:50
    a little bit about theory a tiny bit and
  • 00:01:52
    a lot about how what you play has a
  • 00:01:56
    profound impact on the listener and of
  • 00:01:59
    course also an impact on what you're
  • 00:02:02

  • 00:02:03

  • 00:02:05
    drones today a drone is a just a pitch a
  • 00:02:08
    standard pitch and we have a drone an a
  • 00:02:11
    today the one that you can hear right
  • 00:02:13

    alright so a quick reminder of what the
  • 00:02:42
    guideline of music is the guideline is
  • 00:02:46
    made of a series of different principles
  • 00:02:49
    but at its core we are interacting with
  • 00:02:54
    something it's an interaction game just
  • 00:02:56
    like when you're painting while you're
  • 00:02:57
    interacting with the paper you're adding
  • 00:02:59
    color and shapes to a piece of paper
  • 00:03:01
    just like when you are conversing with
  • 00:03:04
    someone you are interacting with that
  • 00:03:06
    someone and sometimes that someone is a
  • 00:03:08
    listener sometimes you become the
  • 00:03:10
    listener but it's an interaction game
  • 00:03:12
    same exact thing in music that
  • 00:03:14
    interaction has to do with what you are
  • 00:03:17
    delivering musically with what is being
  • 00:03:21
    heard now
  • 00:03:23
    that thing that's being heard could be
  • 00:03:25
    in a band situation or a jam with a
  • 00:03:27
    friend or a backing track or a simple
  • 00:03:30
    drone a backing track and it's simple
  • 00:03:31
    form right here so we are interacting
  • 00:03:34
    today over this that is our canvas a
  • 00:03:37
    blank piece of paper if you will that
  • 00:03:39
    we're gonna interact with and the first
  • 00:03:41
    touch with that paper with our pencil is
  • 00:03:44
    gonna direct the rest right okay so
  • 00:03:49
    right here we have that piece of paper
  • 00:03:51
    that you can hear and I'm gonna first
  • 00:03:53
    point of contact here a note that it's
  • 00:03:56
    going to determine other things okay
  • 00:03:58
    pick any notes it doesn't matter that
  • 00:03:59
    note is interacting with what is going
  • 00:04:04
    on in the back right it gives you a
  • 00:04:06
    feeling right maybe it's a feeling of
  • 00:04:08
    peace
  • 00:04:11
    or maybe it's a feeling of a little bit
  • 00:04:14
    of discomfort mystery you pick up what
  • 00:04:18
    it makes you feel and then it's a very
  • 00:04:20
    important thing I think you are in
  • 00:04:23
    control of what you want to deliver and
  • 00:04:27
    you are not allowed to tell someone you
  • 00:04:30
    should feel happiness here I've always
  • 00:04:33
    believed that music something personal
  • 00:04:35
    quick story I'm 42 when I was 17 I 18
  • 00:04:42
    graduated from high school yes I doubled
  • 00:04:46
    a year yes I was not a good student
  • 00:04:48
    started college started music college
  • 00:04:50
    after a couple months I was out of there
  • 00:04:52
    I I dropped out completely why well
  • 00:04:56
    because there was a course that I had to
  • 00:05:00
    follow in college on on music and at the
  • 00:05:03
    time you know I was just a young
  • 00:05:04
    rebellious teenager but the teacher said
  • 00:05:11
    this is the major third you should feel
  • 00:05:14
    happiness with that and that should
  • 00:05:16
    broke it for me how is out the next week
  • 00:05:19
    I dropped out of college and never never
  • 00:05:22
    looked back because of that music
  • 00:05:24
    something personal so keep that in mind
  • 00:05:26
    as you're playing I really do believe
  • 00:05:27
    that you say whatever you want musically
  • 00:05:30
    and people can receive it the way they
  • 00:05:32
    want okay that said what I played there
  • 00:05:36
    established something a mood whatever it
  • 00:05:39
    is now let's go with the rules of music
  • 00:05:41
    a tiny a little bit the guidelines again
  • 00:05:43
    I don't like the term rules with music
  • 00:05:45
    but typically when I say rule in music
  • 00:05:48
    what I'm referring to is the way that
  • 00:05:51
    people most of the people so more than
  • 00:05:55
    50% of people are gonna perceive this as
  • 00:05:58
    stable now what is this well it's the
  • 00:06:01
    principle of music where you need to
  • 00:06:03
    match musical elements together you need
  • 00:06:06
    to match intervals together so that
  • 00:06:09
    means that over a chord a three note
  • 00:06:12
    chord for example this it doesn't matter
  • 00:06:15
    what it is it's an image or try it three
  • 00:06:18
    notes here these three notes all have
  • 00:06:20
    functions and they resonate with each
  • 00:06:21
    other it gives you that feeling
  • 00:06:25
    whatever that feeling is now empowered
  • 00:06:27
    to play over this I have many many
  • 00:06:29
    choices I have 12 notes that I can play
  • 00:06:31
    but the quote-unquote rule guideline if
  • 00:06:35
    you want to be perceived as stable
  • 00:06:38
    acceptable pleasant by more than 50% of
  • 00:06:41
    the listeners you are going to want to
  • 00:06:44
    make sure that if you were to pick one
  • 00:06:47
    of these three notes in the scale it
  • 00:06:49
    needs to be that note now these notes
  • 00:06:51
    have different functions right intervals
  • 00:06:53
    in this case 1 3 5 this is the roots the
  • 00:06:57
    1 the major 3rd not the minor 3rd that's
  • 00:07:01
    different and a perfect fifth not
  • 00:07:03
    diminished 5th not a glinted fifth
  • 00:07:05
    perfect fifth that's what makes this
  • 00:07:07
    chord one three five roots maybe third
  • 00:07:10
    perfect fifth if in my solo or if as I'm
  • 00:07:14
    interacting if I'm becoming the pencil
  • 00:07:16
    and this is the piece of paper the sheet
  • 00:07:20
    of paper if over there over that a word
  • 00:07:22
    to play a third I need to play a major
  • 00:07:25
    third
  • 00:07:27
    that's stable if I played a minor third
  • 00:07:30
    over this that mat minor third over that
  • 00:07:38
    major third would be dissonance which is
  • 00:07:43
    an a feeling - it's not a bad feeling oh
  • 00:07:46
    it's not a pleasant feeling but it's not
  • 00:07:47
    a feeling you need to disregard but most
  • 00:07:50
    people are gonna perceive that as
  • 00:07:51
    dissonant okay that was the rule the
  • 00:07:54
    guideline the thing that you want to do
  • 00:07:56
    if you want to please most people you
  • 00:07:58
    don't have to okay now let's go back to
  • 00:08:00
    our drone here our drone here is the
  • 00:08:03
    piece of paper there's only one pitch
  • 00:08:04
    which means that really there are very
  • 00:08:07
    little places of error you might argue
  • 00:08:10
    there are no places of error over this
  • 00:08:12
    you can play anything if this is
  • 00:08:14
    considered the one the thing that
  • 00:08:16
    attracts everything else the magnets the
  • 00:08:18
    piece of paper then you can draw
  • 00:08:20
    anything on it right if it's a blank
  • 00:08:22
    piece of paper you can you can you can
  • 00:08:25
    draw a car a person a house a bird
  • 00:08:29
    doesn't matter right now if that piece
  • 00:08:32
    of paper had more notes it's kind of
  • 00:08:35
    like having a sheet of paper from a
  • 00:08:38
    coloring book where you have a car and
  • 00:08:40
    on that car if you decide to to
  • 00:08:43
    completely break the rules and instead
  • 00:08:45
    of following the lines of the car you
  • 00:08:48
    start drawing a face of a clown on a
  • 00:08:51
    bicycle you're gonna have two pictures
  • 00:08:54
    it's gonna be a little bit uncomfortable
  • 00:08:55
    that's okay
  • 00:08:56
    right all right so topic of this video
  • 00:09:01
    is which notes should you play well
  • 00:09:03
    really the notes you want but you need
  • 00:09:05
    to be aware of how that note is going to
  • 00:09:07
    make you feel because you are telling
  • 00:09:11
    the story and maybe in the background be
  • 00:09:15
    aware of what the note is going to make
  • 00:09:16
    them feel or you feel the listener feel
  • 00:09:20
    okay so the sheet the the pdfs are
  • 00:09:23
    recommended scale so if you're using the
  • 00:09:25
    a drone here which is that's the case
  • 00:09:28
    that's an ink
  • 00:09:29
    everything is gonna be attractive to
  • 00:09:31
    that pick one of these scales any that
  • 00:09:33
    starts in a and that's going to be your
  • 00:09:36
    guideline that's gonna start drawing a
  • 00:09:38
    picture over this blank sheet of paper
  • 00:09:40
    so if we are will consider that we ran a
  • 00:09:43
    Lydian again it's included in the charts
  • 00:09:46
    here but a Lydian is series of seven
  • 00:09:48
    notes a is the roots that's the
  • 00:09:51
    attraction that you can hear there
  • 00:09:52
    that's the piece of paper it tells you
  • 00:09:54
    okay we're using this size of piece of
  • 00:09:56
    paper and then the seven notes are one
  • 00:09:58
    two three four five six sharp seven
  • 00:10:03
    that's the formula okay that's the color
  • 00:10:05
    set you're using now you're gonna you
  • 00:10:08
    take that and start improvising over
  • 00:10:10
    playing some notes the good news is that
  • 00:10:12
    there's no rhythm you can play whatever
  • 00:10:13
    [Music]
  • 00:10:22
    each of these notes are part of the the
  • 00:10:24
    color set you are using if you land on
  • 00:10:28
    one that's what the listeners gonna
  • 00:10:29
    remember
  • 00:10:33
    and what you're gonna remember too
  • 00:10:38
    does that landing notes how does it make
  • 00:10:40
    you feel it doesn't make you feel like
  • 00:10:43
    okay I'm finished there goodbye thank
  • 00:10:45
    you very much I'm done with this song
  • 00:10:47
    thank you
  • 00:10:48
    or
  • 00:10:51
    no I need something else I need
  • 00:10:56
    thank you very much good night so it's a
  • 00:11:00
    series of good night and a series of
  • 00:11:03
    what so something like this that notes
  • 00:11:12
    which is the fourth the Augmented fourth
  • 00:11:14
    one two three Augmented fourth of the
  • 00:11:16
    Lydian mode could be a good night note
  • 00:11:18
    [Music]
  • 00:11:22
    thank you
  • 00:11:23
    good night you're still left a little
  • 00:11:26
    bit wondering maybe but that's okay or
  • 00:11:27
    maybe it could be a what note
  • 00:11:35
    huh well what do you mean what what I
  • 00:11:40
    mean this
  • 00:11:43
    [Music]
  • 00:11:46
    make sense okay so you need to be aware
  • 00:11:50
    of these notes when it makes you feel
  • 00:11:55
    and once you are you have more of a
  • 00:11:58
    perception of what these notes do
  • 00:12:01
    instead of building your story
  • 00:12:03
    [Music]
  • 00:12:17
    it's also great won't no way to to get
  • 00:12:20
    comfortable with the sound of these
  • 00:12:21
    modes so you can pick another scale that
  • 00:12:24
    doesn't have one two three sharp four
  • 00:12:26
    five six seven and experiment with that
  • 00:12:29
    one
  • 00:12:30
    maybe Dorian you know your new organist
  • 00:12:33
    I was gonna say that right
  • 00:12:34
    [Music]
  • 00:12:44
    it sounds different
  • 00:12:50
    [Music]
  • 00:12:56
    back to Lydia
  • 00:12:58
    [Music]
  • 00:13:07
    let's try some mixolydian so you can
  • 00:13:09
    look in your sheets it's gonna sound a
  • 00:13:10
    little different
  • 00:13:11
    [Music]
  • 00:13:27
    getting carried away but that's what I
  • 00:13:30
    want you to do to get carried away with
  • 00:13:32
    this
  • 00:13:33
    just just dive deep it's like a book a
  • 00:13:35
    really good book you're diving deep
  • 00:13:37
    you're going into different pathways and
  • 00:13:39
    the next chapter is something else
  • 00:13:41
    happens and then eventually both
  • 00:13:43
    chapters are combined and it becomes
  • 00:13:45
    something you knew makes sense of you
  • 00:13:49
    know you read this chapter that brought
  • 00:13:51
    brings a new light to the first one and
  • 00:13:52
    getting carried away again
  • 00:13:54
    but that's what I would love for you to
  • 00:13:56
    experiment get carried away and dive
  • 00:13:59

  • 00:14:03
