5 Useful EDM Chord Patterns (that changed my life)

Sus chords don't mean sustained they mean suspended its where the 2nd or 4th note replaces the 3rd of a chord in anticipation of it. It suspends it by leaving it hanging but typically will move to the 3rd

"You're gonna make your chord writing game 20% better." Moves the bar up from 0 to 20%.

Our boy just told us we literally have 0% chord writing game.

Can't get over the fact that you have the same glasses frames as me

man when u dropped the beat on that last progression ..... it touched my soul . Thanks for the vid , and the inspiration !

thx for the useful lecture. I'm just wondering if i use your chord progressions with different rhythm patterns, would it be a matter??

Can I use these chords in my song?

Good VDO

Your (almost) all the videos always change your life
also NO offense, this guy do a lot of hard work :)

When you run a Constant Tone Like a "C" Bass note and Play a 1-4-5 over it, in the same key your are using the "C" Note as a Pedal Tone...... Been doing it for over 25 years.

I'm wondering how to make that audio visualiser

Hi Alex. Great tutorial, which serum preset did you use for this cord progression? I purchased the Orbital pack for that reason but which of the 150 sounds do you use? Thanks

Completely off topic, but i cant be the only one that thinks he looks a little bit like steve jobs right?

your tutorials are the best; thanks a million. 7 40 in...so sick

Hey bro , I just wanted to give a huge shout out for showing us these great chords !! Thanks bro and good job on your video editing

Your sounds are nice. What are the name of these samplers?

Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏼

Great tutorial

How do your individual triads make sounds for the entire duration My chords make a sound at the beginning of the note, but mid-half way through they drop off into silenced , in sound trap . I guess I need more velocity or effects? This and building chord progressions that sound good seems impossible I spend hours dragging notes around and everything sounds like crap .

so you never use a midi controller you type out all these? that must be a real time consuming pain in the ass at times man.

No Diminished or Augmented Chords in EDM music!? Lol. Anyway nice sounds.

So good ❤️

Because all songs have to sound the same or they won’t sell. Haha

Grate tutorial!!!

Hi Alex, can you make a video where you we learn to make techno droplets with stock pluggins similar dj droplex (sorry for my English) 😂

Alex i will be honest i was avoiding your channel because so many other channels and people saying things you get to a point you want to scream, so last week i listened tp your 4 trance transitions, and man big tips there, and this one again are quick fast tips and i am finding them useful.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge rather then be selfish Peace to you Brother if you never heard Yes's song Awakening off Going for the One give it a spin,,,shear perfection in composing

Learning so much ty!

Can you please elaborate on how you added the seventh? notes in the serious progression?

Which instrument used by u most regularly?

You've got your headphones on backwards, man...lol

gente les recomiendo mirar videos de teoría musical ya sea en ingles o español miren tutoriales y miren este canal tambien ami me sirvio mucho haganlo

im just learning logic but I applied these chords and it sounds great ( the Markus Shultz ones)

Ever since I've started producing the hardest thing for me has always been the breakdown. I've gotten really good at making a suspenseful intro and energetic "drop" but when it comes to lowering that energy and then rising it again. It always proves to be a challenge. If anyone has any info that would help I'd be happy listen!

You the baddest for real 👐

Suspended second inversion.

A sus chord is short for suspended chord.
A modern sus chords replaces the 3rd with either the 4th or 2nd, and is labelled “sus4” or “sus2” respectively. If it is simply labelled “sus” it means that both the 2nd and the 4th are used.
For example while G would be G B and D, Gsus2 would be G A D, and Gsus4 would be G C D, while Gsus would be G A C D.
The sharp eyed will notice that Gsus is also D7sus4.

Optional further reading:

It comes from the practice in counterpoint of “suspending” a dissonant tone from a previous chord over the following chord, namely the 2nd, 4th, or 7th, (or 9th, 11th etc) before resolving it to the 1st, 3rd or 6th (8th, 10th, 13th).
In the intervening few centuries advances in harmonic theory have discovered that the immediate resolution of these dissonances isn’t really necessary*. So long as the note of resolution comes at some point before the end of the phrase it will sound fine.
This is basically what led to the discovery of Jazz harmony.

I'm being so dumb - is this the kontakt orbit and eclipse plugin?

I hope to God you didnt say "top trans artists" 🤮
