so because williams uses an orchestra with a triumphant trumpet here or there it's ripping-off anyone else who has composed something using similar instrumentation? Shows a complete lack of understanding about music and how chord progressions are built...

But season's passes are BS, I'll give you that:)

Wow, that is such bullshit.

Not a fan of Sam Smith, but there's no way Petty should get a songwriting credit for that.

The tempo and tone and key have completely changed.

Granted, the songs use a similar chord progression... but so what? There are only a limited number of chord progressions that sound musical, so of course you'll see repeats.

Did not want to confuse the title with " part 1 excerpt" would not have fitted and less of these monkeys would of even looked at it if they had to read more than a couple words in the title.

All in all I wanted to post it for the light show and sounds.

Weird, I didn't hear any chord progressions that resembled "Love Like a Sunset". I could be wrong, of course.

Kill the fake echo. Would have been 70.4x better without it.

Actually it's called reverb and I think it's used well here. Mayhaps a touch too wet but overall well done.
Best of all, though, this chick doesn't have her glommy, skeevy boyfriend clapping, playing drums, and injecting his tired, formulaic bullshit in the song. Yes, Pomplamoose, I'm looking at you.

I like some of Pomplamoose


I did too, until about the third or fourth video of clapping, quick-cutting, and kooky chord progressions taught me all I needed to know about the 'Moose.

Not to defend this mediocre music, but there are only so many chord progressions and melodies in the world. Sometimes you play something you thought was original on the piano only to have someone say, "hey, I know that song." Often times, really catchy ideas inspire the "did I subconsciously rip this off from somewhere else" paranoia syndrome. It's also possible for two people who've never met each other to come up with the same exact idea.

The Rolling Stones did this a few years back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Craving

What? Every song is based on the same chord progression? Why I've never heard that before...

Meh, at least she's mildly cute.

A. Octave B. 5th C. Tritone

Whenever you hear a pitch, there are also a number of much softer, sympathetic pitches that sound. These are called overtones. (Here is a graphic of the overtone series: http://www.deandrummond.com/oton1.jpg) Overtones are very soft, and usually only the first few are (barely) detectable to the ear - although factors like instrument construction, peculiarities of the performance space and other notes sounding at the same time can affect the production of overtones. The first two in the overtone series are an octave and a 5th, so when ^ Karen Cheng plays the octave and the 5th, the overtone series is reinforcing those pitches, which gives those intervals a very 'pure' sound.

The tritone is the 10th overtone in the series, and occurs 3 and 1/2 octaves above it's root pitch, which means that it is not only very soft, but more often than not, out of the range of human hearing. Although a naked tritone is odd sounding by itself, it is used to create many beautiful, lush and complicated harmonies. Hundreds of years ago, the tritone was considered the interval of the devil by the church and it's use was forbidden. That quickly faded away as western music began to come into its own as an art form. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and almost every other notable western composer have used the tritone often in various harmonic contexts.

The oft used chord progression she uses at the end is I V vi IV, which is similar to the Pachabel cannon progression used in a similar video (I V vi iii IV I IV V).

(/theory lesson)

Starts off like it might be unique, then slips into the same 4 chord progression of every song done since the late 80's. Can't get excited, sorry.

If Pachelbel knew this melody and chord progression would be so over used would he have composed it? blechh..

The key of E it is a two step waltz, but in most cases timing is not followed exactly, because of the fills. Acoustic solo is excellent place for expression and improv. But with a group it is a bit difficult unless the band knows how you improvise and can play along.

I'm pretty sure this is in 4/4 timing. It's tempo is pretty normal maybe Andante.
The chord progression is, E, A, E on the first bar, and then E, B7 on the next bar.
Like so:
E                          A
                         
                         
   E
I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
E                         
;                         
;               B7
But sometimes lord, she just ain't always around

"Shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. Rossington came up with a chord progression, and Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years." -thanks mlx

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Teen Spirit is in F minor and Rick Roll is in Db Major, which are related keys, so they actually do share the same set of scale notes. There are a few spots with the harmony and melody clash quite a bit. Fun stuff. Here is another Teen Spirit mashup: http://www.videosift.com/video/Best-Mashup-Ever-Smells-Like-Bootylicio

Asphyxium913, I'm guessing this is a Karaoke recording of Teen Spirit, and a pretty decent recreation at that.


You generally can't just throw a major melody onto a chord progression in the relative minor, as shown by how this video's sound turned out. It isn't just that the root isn't the same as the chord progressions, but you also get a lot of clashing notes since the vocal melody was written assuming an entirely different chord progression.

...I just don't like it, lol.

reminds me of sabbath,tony iommi chord progressions.
especially masters of reality album,after forever meets lord of this world.
me likies!

I guess they're saying that a LOT of pop songs use the same 4-chord progression.
