edit: you now know how to build a basic extended chord.

oh shit, i was writing a long-ass response when i realized you weren't talking about the toro y moi song lmao. i'm dumb. yeah i know about that stuff. the concept i mentioned is interesting though, stacking thirds up or down a chord, regardless of its function. that doesn't mean that both chords necessarily share the same function, that depends on the function of the chord you picked. plus different schools of thought will disagree on which scale degrees share the same function. it's a cool thing to experiment with though (with other chords than the tonic). on that note, here's a quick random tip for beginners, to build major and minor extended chords ( in root position): pick any note. stack a minor 3rd on top. stack a major 3rd on top of that interval. stack a minor 3rd on top of that triad. stack a major 3rd on top. repeat until you get 7 notes. congrats, you just played an extended minor chord in root position. you don't have to play all 7 notes btw. now pick any note. stack a major 3rd on top. stack a minor 3rd on top. stack a major 3rd on top, etc. extended major chord, yay! now here's how that relates to what i was talking about: play the extended minor chord you just learned. now remove the bottom note (the root), and stack a minor 3rd or major 3rd on top of your chord, depending on how many notes you chose to play - if the top interval was a major 3rd, play the minor 3rd above that and vice versa. do the same in the opposite direction: remove the top note, play the major 3rd below the bottom note if it's a minor chord or the minor 3rd below if it's a major chord. repeat the operation as many times as you like - remove the bottom note, play the 3rd above the top note, now remove the bottom note, play the 3rd above, etc. - or in the opposite direction. yay. you now sound like a beginner (root position chords are boring) but at least you now how to build a basic extended chord without knowing anything about scales. that'll be €20. come back next week.

lol yeah i saw this vid. no thanks. i learned how to play the song on the keyboard btw, in fact i did so right after you posted it. then i started breaking down the harmony, it's pretty straightforward stuff aside from the odd modulation or chord function but anyway, i got lazy at some point and quit. i could get back to it if you're really interested, though i guess this was just you trolling me for a bit of fun, lol. anyway it's a pretty cool song , i like playing it. btw dude, fav major voicing? i'm still waiting.

i read part of war and peace a few years ago and i quite enjoyed it. yeah short books seem appropriate to get back into reading. thanks for the recommandation. nice! i've been watching oil painting tutorials quite a bit lately for some reason. i also like watching landscape photography tutorials, even though i have zero interest in learning photography. it's very similar to figurative painting anyway. my brother is a painter but his technique is very similar to drawing, he uses oil sticks on wood panels. he makes the sticks himself, it's way less expensive than buying them, plus you get to choose their specific colors. not that you give a shit but he discovered oil sticks through richard serra's minimalistic drawings. also, one of his best friends started using them after he saw my bro using them, turns out he became an influential artist and his oil stick paintings made him crazy rich lol. what type of drawing or painting would you like to learn? i'm interested. i used to be very interested in art even though that's all behind me. any artists you like in particular?

here's my take on it: meaning requires content, content requires time: you need to acquire a whole bunch of data (content) through experience and investigation/learning in order to make sense of the world, of how things work - which takes time. times requires resistance: i guess he meant time requires mental strength/perseverance/resilience. not sure though. knowledge is distance, knowledge is stasis: he did explain what he meant by that earlier in the paragraph so no need to break it down for you. and the enemy of meaning: knowledge demystifies the world/the human experience/life - the more you know, the more you realize that life is devoid of meaning. anyway that's how i interpret it in context. i've never heard of that author btw. i don't even read books lol. i can't remember the last one i read, it might be cujo by stephen king or some dumb shit like that lol. i have a bunch of music theory books in pdf i'd like to read but for reasons i won't explain here (uninteresting) i just don't. another book i downloaded that i'd really like to read is the mind is flat by nick chater. sorry for mentioning my dumb stories (or lack thereof). what do you think of my interpretation? a bit off? completely off? boring? music theory 4 life baby.

she ugly af though

i meant fast food actually. didn't use that word and chose junk food instead cause the word fast food refers to fast food restaurants in french, not the food itself. anyway, name some of your fav fast foods - burgers, tacos and whatnot. you can be more specific if you want, as in "i'm fond of fried chicken burgers with bbq sauce" for example. i'm still waiting.
