Hey loving the EDM Bootcamp it's helping me to create sounds and particularly styles that I never believed I could do! Big shout out to Alex Rome for this! 10 out of 10 for help with the creative ideas and ultra-catchy methods & the sound design! It was the free YouTube videos that were so good that got me into the course
-
1. Basic chords 2. Move up thirds 3. Pedal & Tonic 4. Profit ✍
-
My man just nonchalantly creating mini bangers to demonstrate us chord progressions. What a legend..
-
What I learned from this video: "We need to extract maximum emotion. Lets move these chords up an octive."
-
-
Progression 1 (uplifting) / 5, 6, 7, 1 Progression 2 (serious) / 6, 7, 1, 7 Progression 3 (tense) / root chord Progression 4 (sad) / 1, 7, 4, 6 Progression 5 (feel good) / 6, 3, 7, 1 Progression 6 (sad euphoric) / 6, 1, 7, 5 Progression 7 (pump) / 1, 6, 4 Progression 8 (happy pump) / 1, 3, 6 Progression 9 (chill) / 6,1,7,1 Progression 10 (happy) 4,5,1

Biggest take away are pedal chords and a great explanation of tonics. I love how those just come up on the side as a quick reminder. World class content.

Why are you wearing a waffle maker on your head?

Noticing a trend. Take four notes from any scale but not the 2nd or 3rd. Choose a random order with the tonic at the end, make it a chord in the scale. Move the third up. Add a pedal tone of the tonic or thirds depending on vibe of chosen progression. I'm actually amazed at how versatile the 6th and seventh are in pop and edm music. Amazing video.
-
I got a fever … and the only thing that can cure it…. Is to put the 3rds up an octave .
-
Your use of tools to make those vocals for the "feel good" chords sound so well together is amazing and inspiring.
-
5:56 singing performance sounded horrible but the result 2 seconds later was stunning... perfect job man! <3 <3 <3
-
Drake's favorite is A-minor
-
No sh*t, no unnecessary talking, just a master at work. You are awesome bro👏
-
You’ve got my skills going from Beethoven’s tone deaf cousin Linus to the big man himself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Alex. Appreciated by many 🙏🏻
-
I just love how excited he is, makes me pumped for chords ❤❤❤
-
Not gonna lie, that chill and relaxed with the soft piano sounded like a song that would be used to change the mood of a movie scene to somber really fast. Beautifully made! Love every one you have made in this video!
-
This guy is so under-appreciated. Every video is gold.
-
I’ve been waiting for a solid, simple video like this for years. Thank you 🙏
-
I like doing the first progression, but making the last chord F#, C#, A, it gives it a nice tonal shift to a deeper mood. Also, major props to Alex, I've never seen someone so excited to teach us things and vibe to what he's doing at the same, I've learned so much from this guy! 💚
