Being able to recogise intervals when listening to a melody is incredibly valuable. A great way to anchor your perception of each interval is to use a famous song to remember how they sound, to remember the particular sound of each interval. So today I will give you at least one famous melody for the twelve intervals within the octave and one beyond the octave!
The outro song is my 7/4 version of FrΓ¨re Jacques and is available on my Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJ... πΆ

Don't know how you could leave out "Can't Stop" by RHCP for Minor 7th example. It's a much more recognisable and iconic song than Somewhere from some movie from the 60s (or was it a play) most people never heard of. The moment I hear E followed by D, i instantly hear Frusciante's intro in my head and just want to resolve it up to the E an octave up. But maybe that's just a guitarist in me talking.

@bassmaiasa1312 Π ΡΠΊ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Yeah, I always watch that, to make sure I don't skimp on the descending. For minor third and major 2nd, I use the line from Somewhere over the Rainbow, 'if happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow' But I also try to hear the inversion inside the interval. So if I hear a minor third, I want to hear the major 6th at the same time.

@polyphony250 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
@@318h7 It's 2 over 3. If you play the rhythm with your hands, it's obvious - the frequencies "sync up" on every other oscilliation of the lowest. So the "synced" oscilliations are at half the frequency of the lowest note, one octave below. More dissonant intervals will create lower pitch undertones for this reason, i.e. the longer the time between each synced oscilliation, the lower the note produced. Sorry about the non-technical language, these are not concepts I have been taught.
@user-dj9td1kx5x 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ

@andylovesbats4566 Π ΡΠΊ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I live in central Europe, in the Czech Republic and because of that, the major 6 interval actually to me sounds perfectly stable and consonant. It is often used in our folk songs, when there's more then one voice. The voices often go in major (or minor) thirds and major sixths, and often without "resolving" to e.g. a P.5. at the end of a song, and it's been like that for centuries. It's quite interesting to note, because compared to this, christian chant music (gregorian chants, etc.) in history uses almost exlusively the "cleanest", most stable intervals - the octave the P5 and the P4 (with occasionally using thirds).

I was genuinely taken back when the Minor 3rd wasn't Axel F. It seems so perfect to me, since it plays the A, the C, and then the A twice more. Really vivid sound. And my go-to for the perfect fifth is Something In The Way by Nirvana. The opening is just Kurt Cobain playing the very stripped back A5 and F5

Tenths are great. I love them and I use them. A guitar teacher of mine, Serge Lazarevitch, taught us that tenths somehow almost sound like a chord, rather than just an interval. I can hear what he meant when I use them. Bach wrote fantastic things in tenths, as did so many other classical composers, but those amazing structures can also be found in Paul McCartney's Beatles classic, Blackbird. I also love hearing it in the Foo Fighters' Walking After You. It's a bit of a magical chord-like interval, waiting to be needed as the right addition to the song, or be the basis for a song.

It's interesting to me that minor thirds sound more tense going up (Mad World, Greensleeves), and more resolved coming down (Hey Jude, the Star Spangled Banner), while major thirds sound more consonant going up (When the Saints come Marching in, Kumbaya) and more dissonant coming down (Beethoven's 5th, Imperial March).
@FlorisVerbeij 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ

I've said this before in your videos, and I'll say it again: as a harmonica teacher I usually struggle making music theory easy for my students, but your content really helps me getting the right definitions for every concept. So, once again, thank you very much for your beautiful work. Cheers from Temuco, Chile!

For a major 2nd I would have picked βSo This is Loveβ from Cinderella, it even rocks helpfully back and forth between the 1 and 2.

What an absolutely fantastic video, I learned a bunch and I'll remember it too! Also the minor 9th is pretty dang cool.

There's a tenth in the Star-Spangled banner between "streaming" and "and the rockets' red glare."

This video has made me realize that the song "Supporting Me" from the SA2 soundtrack has a giant tritone in vocal line. Definitely enhances the spooky atmosphere of the track in addition to sounding really, really cool.

When you said you'd go beyond the octave I thought minor 9th. Then as soon as I thought minor 9th I thought Dr.Who Theme. The first 2 notes are a minor 9th and the third note resolves to the octave. I couldn't think of any better example of minor 9th.
@histrion2 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I was thinking the same thing - the Doctor Who theme memory starts on the dominant, then jumps a minor 9th, then drops back down a minor 2nd to the dominant one octave above the first note.

And the baseline is a repeating minor third riff.

Very well known example of a tenth interval in popular music: the iconic bass line of Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side', recorded by Herbie Flowers. It's actually two separate bass parts, one on upright bass, and one on electric. It's a beautiful interval on bass. I think Indiscipline by King Crimson uses it too (among others), but spread among different instruments.

Fully agree, love the tenth on bass! Especially on fretless with some reverb, so mellow.
