In this series, I'll be going over everything you need to know about chords: how to build them, where they come from, how they interact with one another, how to hear them, etc. This is the basic curriculum I use with my private students. This series is an expansion of a free ebook of the same name, available on my website (go to http://www.billgrahammusic.com/teaching and scroll down until you find it.)

In this episode, we learn about The Circle Of Fifths, and how the orders of sharps and flats are extracted from the circle. We also work on playing the major scales, and identifying, playing, and singing all of the intervals inside of the major scale against a drone of the root and 5th (built up with several layers of a Behringer Model D synthesizer and samples of a Yamaha YC30). We then take that knowledge and use it to improvise some simple melodies over a drone on voice, piano, guitar, and cornet.

When working on singing in this context, don't worry too much about the quality of your voice, or stress out about singing perfectly in tune. The point of singing in this context is to work on connecting your ear to your hands.

I don't know whats up with the echo that occasionally shows up on my voice, but with the mellow, meditative nature of this lesson, I kind of dig it. My apologies if you find it distracting.

Next time on Accelerated Intro To Harmony, we'll be talking about Major Triads, and some exercises to play and voice lead them around the circle of 5ths..

If this material is too basic for you, don't worry, I have more videos from my "Genius Of" Analysis series, "Chord Tone Improvisation" series, and "Barry Harris" series coming very soon. If this material is at just the right level for you, great, I have many more of these AITH coming soon too.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
