music theory sure is deep. Was watching a video on chord progression and it lost me in like 30 seconds, not that i expected to grasp the material.
By s y brev Go To Postmusic theory sure is deep. Was watching a video on chord progression and it lost me in like 30 seconds, not that i expected to grasp the material.and a lot of it goes out the window once you start looking at the theory of music not based on western ideas (root on the middle note of a pentatonic scale vs on the first note).
counterpoint music theory is relatively simple, though. once you learn it, it becomes relatively easy to recognize even in modern music where people followed those rules and where they broke them.
i guess the important thing to remember is that all these noises are waves and there are certain ratios of overlapping that feel pleasant, dissonant, or just bad to the human ear, and that those feelings can be conditioned by the environment someone grows up in.

it's more fun and easier to grasp when you've got an actual instrument with you to play what you're learning
