Ultimate EDM Production Crash Course - Learn music theory in half an hour.

20 more lessons like this about music production, songwriting, mixing, mastering, and more: http://monthly.com/andrew It will forever haunt me that in this video I misremembered one bit of terminology - the chord voicings begin with "root position" before moving onto "first inversion" and so on. But let this be a lesson about something bigger, which is that understanding music - how it works and how you can use these tools to express yourself - is a separate and more important thing than knowing all the technical terms. I never thought about the term "root position" after I stopped taking piano lessons as a teenager, but I've known and used root position chords constantly since then. The terminology is only occasionally important when you need to communicate about something specific. Like in a music theory lesson. 😅 Subscribe → http://bit.ly/subAndrewHuang Support my work on Patreon and be the first to get all my new music: http://patreon.com/andrewhuang Video chapters: 2:36 Notes 10:12 Chords 11:58 Major and Minor 15:36 The Number System 20:29 Inversions 23:59 Melodies 27:26 Rhythm ★ FOLLOW ME HERE ★ Instagram http://instagram.com/andrewismusic Twitter http://twitter.com/andrewhuang Facebook http://facebook.com/andrewismusic ★ LISTEN TO MY MUSIC ★ Spotify http://spoti.fi/2pF0qRB iTunes http://apple.co/2psaUmL Google Play http://bit.ly/2qlhAjy Bandcamp http://bit.ly/2oRWCby ★ JOIN THE 820 CREW DISCORD ★ http://discord.me/820crew ★ GEAR ★ Disclosure: Most of these are affiliate links - if you buy anything through them (even if it's not the linked item) I'll receive a small percentage, which helps support my channel.
