What are passing notes? Find out how they work and how best to use them. Melodic notes must either belong to the prevailing chord or should be inessential notes. The most common inessential note is the passing note, which moves by step. When the passing note occurs on the beat the passing note is described as accented; when the passing note occurs between beats it is described as unaccented. In this music theory lesson we learn how passing notes work, how they sound, and what they look like in a piece of music, in order to provide a full explanation. to passing notes 0:09 - Why might you want to use passing notes? 1:24 - How do passing notes work? 2:17 - Unaccented vs accented passing notes

Hi Gareth
First of all. I get caught up in double meaning of words, ambiguous, for me. But not saying that yours are so. I wasn't too sure about one of your earlier videos which mentions passing notes. Pass by step. I was thinking, well could it also pass from C up to E by stepping down, say from C down to G and back up to E. I don't think this is correct at all, but I have to have it clarified, it's just me. Would it be correct to say it has to step up to the next note, say, C to E or down C to A, two notes apart from the C up or down, with the passing note in between. Also, is it possible to use an accidental, C Bb A which isn't in the scale. Thanks for all your precious time. Stay safe you and yours.

Hi... Just A Quick Clarity Question.
So if a non Chord Note... Is NOT..Sandwich between notes...ascending or descending...it CANNOT be classified as a Passing Note.???
Thus a MIni Scale Run...Must ALWAYS have a CHORD Note as the End Note...of a mini scale run??
Many Advanced Thanks in Anticipation of a reply

2:18 hi can you please clarify for a n00b? I want to confirm that for 4/4 time, in the first bar at this timestamp here the passing note is on the second beat and that for the second bar the passing note is on the third beat.

Please if I have chord progressions 1-4-5 key of c, what passing chord can I use between C and F? Is there a specific theory to follow?
