EP-40 Diminished (or How I Ended in F Minor)

Описание: Don’t Be Afraid of Music Theory (Says a Cranky Man Equipped With Scissors)

In this episode of Cranky Man’s Musical Journey, we start with coffee, end with MiniDiscs, and somehow survive music theory without crying like it's 1970.
This is what happens when a programmer with 30 years of experience, a tiny piano, junk mail, and markers decides to explain E♭ minor, chord progressions, diminished chords, and key changes the hard way.

Along the way:
We politely insult music theory and our intelligence
Accidentally predict how AI will take everyone’s job (including mine)
Complain because everything is made to fail now
Discover why a popular “Slovak” song is actually Polish
Explain minor scales, Roman numerals, diminished chords, and modulation using paper and scissors
Modulate from E♭ minor → E minor → F minor like civilized people used to
Apply all of it to pads, scales, and real instruments
Make tamagoyaki with one hand because tripods are overrated
Drink socialist-era Coca-Cola substitute because history matters
Rant about Sony sabotaging MiniDisc
Talk about Berlin School electronic music, arpeggios, and my middle name

This video is:
✔ music theory for n00bs and non-theory people
✔ chord progressions explained visually
✔ minor scales without mysticism
✔ key changes on a strip of paper
✔ electronic music history
✔ old man complaining

If you like improvised lessons, arpeggios, Berlin School synths, music theory explained badly but honestly, AI skepticism, and breakfast that makes no sense, you’re in the right place.

Warning:
No keyboards were harmed. The little piano was only mildly confused.

Like, subscribe, or don’t. I’ll still explain diminished chords.
