For anyone who might be wondering why it’s called the 5th when it’s 7 semitones up: in most scales (such as major or minor) it’ll be the 5th note of the scale. As well as the consonance of the (approximate) 3:2 ratio, another reason why it’s commonly used in electronic music is that it pretty much always stays in key when transposed, unlike 3rds for example which would have to change between major and minor if you want to stay in key. With a 5th, you can tune a second osc to a fixed 5th (or sample it) and just play whatever notes you like.

2:25 reminded me of a very cool phenomenon that demostrates that chords are just polyrythms. In the very same way that the 5th occilates 3 times for the fundamentals 2 times, If you create a one bar polyrythm (3/2) with any percussion, could even be noise, and you speed it up to a ridiculous bpm (in the thousands) The rhythm will turn into an interval: A fifth! Same thing works for other harmonic intervals like a fourth being 4/3 and a major third being 5/4

That’s a cool way to think about how harmony and frequency translates to rhythm. They are all related and almost like fractals of each other!

About fifths' - it's also called "power chord" in guitar theory. You just go grab any key and pick 5th note from the major (as I like to think) scale w/ a root note and this is it. Yall remember the famous PS1 startup sound? In bass there are root and 5th note - G - from C scale played and that's why it's sound so pleasing :)

Drop D guitar tuning (DAD)GBE adds that extra low D octave to the power chord giving that iconic 'heavy' or 'chug' sound. Very popular in heavy metal. Try combing your fifths with a low octave, it is a huge sound !

I usually use drop tunings, but I prefer playing in standard one because sometimes I transport guitar melodies into my DAW. And also I use acoustic more. Not recording though, but I really should try something like Pendulum did in "9000 Miles", for example.

Wow, old video - but I love the explanation of 7 semitones, then showing it in the synth that you can do the same; my music world just opened up massively.. what you don't know, you don't know, thanks Music theory rocks as is more important than people generally say. To me, it's like learning the language of music, and it is evitable to need to learn it, to be able to do more easily.

The wide usage of the term "power chord" is so prevalent for damn good reason. In common practice its the most important interval next to the octave. It leaves out the often-undesirable harmonic complexity of a chord complete with triads and more rich options for a different context, while allowing has that "filling out" effect that essentially gives the chord's root more punch, more backbone... The variance between these options is used dynamically by bands from Blink 182 to Foo Fighters to balance between emotional richness and rawer power as the name suggests. This has been carried over to dance music perfectly, and is a very impactful concept that's good to see laid out so clearly. If I'd not come to dance music from a background in rock, this would've been just what i needed as the beginner. I still learned from the way you touched on more specific applications of the 5th. You really took this one concept from total beginner level in a way that's still entertaining enough for anyone else to watch through to get some different ideas for actually using it in the music. Keep up the awesome work man, i can't get over how great it is to see more instruction for the broken side of the beat 😎
