Out of 100's of music theory videos I've watched, this one is among the best. I'll be studying the ideas and sharing it with all my friends! Cheers mate 👍 🍻
Wow, this is such a helpful way of providing an overview of how harmony can be developed further! I particularly love the animated diagrams showing what you're playing and where the chords come from.
I've always wondered whether people say my music is boring whenever they yawn while I play. They say "keep playing" though, so maybe they like it. Now I know why. I like basing my songs on C-F-G and playing around them. This just makes me want to study more music theory in the future. Thanks Lucas!
This clip and the level 2 demo brings me back to what someone told me about learning music: Focus on a good sound and not great technique as one can obscure the other.
Jäklar i min lilla lådda. Det känns som om det finns tillräckligt med uppslag och idéer att utforska i bara den här videon för de kommande 3-4 åren. Grym du är!
I miss all of these in university. I'm so lucky that I was able to learn some from a local Professor who is a Berklee graduate. Jazz is around the world. Thanks for this video. It's a memory for me
upto secondary dominant it was good then it just fell apart. May be it is just me but i like simple harmony and not putting too much emphasis on the harmony notes, in this case the melody is forced to take a backstage by all those complex harmonies at stage 4 and 5, however a great insight; Should help to write compositions that has cromaticism in the melodic motif.
tbh it's probably really hard to reharmonize the same melody in both simple and more advanced styles so that both would sound equally convincing, at least I haven't found any convincing enough tutorial on that topic on yt sadly :/
Its because hes purposefully filling the melody with different chords to show the theory, but you could apply those concepts to only part of the music and get a simpler but still interesting song
Real question: How long does it take you to arrange, for example, five pieces like these? Does it require much effort, or are you at a point where your knowledge makes it just happen? Besides the Barry Harris stuff you're still learning, I mean. And do you need to rehearse these pieces much before recording, or is everything already just 'there' because of all the years of practice? Also, I'm pretty sure I counted 3011 chords, but what do I know? I'm just an intermediate guitarist.
It goes pretty fast, since I’ve been doing it a long time. Many things become automatic from muscle and visual memory. So I can do it almost instantly. The last level I worked a bit on. When recording I usually do a couple of takes and choose the best ones of those. The hard and excruciating part is editing the actual video haha.
@@LucasBrar Oh, damn, thanks, for replying, Dude! Your process sounds so satisfying. Not a constant struggle, like my workflow. Hahaha. Do you ever play electric?
hey Lucas. Great work. I caught your "different kinds of classical guitarists" vid a while back, which was hilarious. I didn't realize you had this content, too! LOVE that you touched on Barry Harris a bit. Great stuff
This is awesome. What a great breakdown of fairly complex concepts. I’ve been struggling through chord melody concepts for 30 years. Not a single guitar teacher I ever had was able to break it down like this. This combined with your melody harmonization videos will give me a lot to work on. Thank you for posting all of this amazing content!
Remember that one line from the Dire Straits song Sultans of Swing? "Check out Guitar George he knows all the chords." Well, Lucas, you are not only what I like to call a Guitar George, but you ALSO have that music conservatory education-type classical mastery. So, yeah, 3,000 chords? I do not doubt it.
Regardless of the time that passes and what I am learning, these videos continue to surprise me, amazing. Also, based on the video, I understand up to level 4 of harmony, and in the technical section I am level 0.5, perfect.
Hey Lucus. I really enjoy that wonderful piece, truly magnificent. I'm a self-taught guitarist and i was wondering if you had pointers on how you move your fingers so vividly gliding across the fretboard. Also this technique feels so classical and unique and I thought i could use it in my own ideas.
Just did an over the rainbow harmonization is music class. Why is his infinitely better. He carries the melody with chords that progress well. I have some cool chord progressions but nothing this cohesive or diverse
I find it funny how you go from explaining diatonic triads directly to secondary dominants. There really is a level between just using diatonic chords and then secondary dominants. The whole idea of what happens when you simply add the 7th to the chord and how to resolve dominant seventh chords should be understood.
@2:49 - why it is C#m7, it should be "C#m 7 flat 5" because we are raising half step from C, so Major third became minor third and Fifth should become flat fifth. Pls help me if anyone knows the answer.

Video Idea for you : Songs you didn't remember the name of, on GUITAR
Paco de lucia but it jazz
Can you perform on street for prank content
Please do some stuff on Pat Metheny progressions and also be bop it possible, thanks
Impresionante que buen canal 💯♥️👌🙂saludos desde ARGENTINA BUENOS AIRES
Rock guitarist: plays 3 chords in front of 10000 people.
Jazz guitarist: plays 300 chords in front of 10 people.
Lucas: plays 3000 chords on TH-cam.
🗿
Well, all three of them is awesome.
music isnt about how many chords you can play
@@miguelmouro230 eh thats kinda subjective really
@@lzykwiat imagine a guy going up on stage, chord book in hand, just to let out every single chord possible. the crowd goes wild
I wish I had a music teacher like you. Not just reading from the script but feeling the outcome.
Me too
But i have a realy good guitar teacher
Use Lucas' patreon. He appears to be an excellent teacher!! And affordable too! Genius expert personable nd funny.:-)))
He offers skype lessons check his website
Corrected my so sorry, misspelling of your name. Lucas Lucas Lucas. Say it with me one more time. [:-))
Can jazz be any cooler?
Lucas: Well, acctually, YES!
yep, so this is Jazz, but this is Coolier Jazz)
The more music theory I hear, the more mathematical it sounds.
Music and math are closely related, after all. Some go so far as to say music IS math. 👍
Isn't everything in existence math?
@@Strings-jg2to Pretty much.
Math is everywhere :)
It's the language of the nature.
@italkcrab that seems to be right because I suck at math and am good at identifying pattern recognitions.
Out of 100's of music theory videos I've watched, this one is among the best. I'll be studying the ideas and sharing it with all my friends! Cheers mate 👍 🍻
That was briefly one of the best and informative jazz harmony lessons I have ever seen.

Maybe the best guitar lesson on youtube.
This was the best explanation of harmony I have ever seen 🤯🤯
This boosted everyone's knowledge. Those people like me stuck on what to study next. Thank youuuuuuuu!
Aah yes from C maj to Constipation :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This clip and the level 2 demo brings me back to what someone told me about learning music:
Focus on a good sound and not great technique as one can obscure the other.
Level 4 sounds amazing.
This is so useful. Thank you so much for such videos!

You are a superb music instructor. Thank you!!
Impressive! It was possible to understand between 3&4 lvl, but lvl 5. It was...wow! Amaizing!!! Genius 🤯
What a lesson!! Absolutely fantastic!
Grazie 🙏
Ive always felt the IV chord resolve. Kind a of a 'dominant tonic' to my ears. 😃
Hello Lucas, this is a very good video. Thank You!
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched in my life. I mean, literally.
The best harmony manual in six minutes! Bravo, maesto!
Great very clearly put. Thank you
🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
I know most of those concepts even the 6th dim.... to put something together fluently like you did is art
I think it's amazing the way you explain many year of study in a video. I hope reach this level some day.

I've been doing a year of music theory now and you are the first to make me think about modal interchange.
Nice Lucas!!! Inspiring lesson
Amazing, starting with level 3. Awesome.
..thank you, that is a very clear approach to harmony. finally i learned smthg. i will try to incoporate this..
My favourite video of yours thus far!
Wonderful video. I'm aware of Barry's approach but haven't gotten into it yet. Thanks!
Level 3 is the sweet spot for me: very digestable, but still interesting
Its because hes purposefully filling the melody with different chords to show the theory, but you could apply those concepts to only part of the music and get a simpler but still interesting song
Level 2 is good enough for me. Level 3 is still enjoyable, but beyond that just extra noises.
Thanks Lucas.Your videos are always interesting!
Really excellent and years of stuff to explore from here
Thank you! Very useful my friend. Now if I can everyone in my cover band to go along!

@@rhynhardtk ooh I wanna see him ripp a fender apart with his teeth with the most awesome guitar face. Make Jimi proud!

Wow you are amazing, I loved how you made this video with the levels.
Great insight how to improve . Thanks thanks for share Lucas.
Seriously dude. You. Are. The. Man!
Wish you all the best, Lucas.
I've never seen a better explanation on this topic. Just amazing!
Great work and presentation, your charts really help simplify the increasingly complexity of the harmony shown.
Wuauuu!!! Brutal explicación. La mejor que he oido y visto nunca. Gracias maestro!! You are the best . Thank you.
Wow. I was expecting humor (you have some of the best humorous music videos) and got a wonderful lesson! Thank you! Off to go spend some money.

What a great lesson and advert for your skills and teaching concepts.
I quite literally know nothing about music theory, but this was an entertaining watch none the less.
Your classes are so good
Beautiful 🎵 harmony analysis. Fascinating 👍🙏
Thanks for the lesson. I think I even understood some of it.
This is the type or kind of lesson I need! Thanks maestro.😍
Thank you 🙏, this is something I lve been trying to figure out in my head but don't know how to explain. This will guide me well
Level 1-2: Pfff, I got this...
-Blink-
Level 3-5: put back the guitar on the wall...
Fantastic lesson! Thanks Lucas!
Wow! Way over my head, but it sounded wonderful! Thanks! :)
Never ending lifetime harmony exploration endeed. Tommy Emmanuel and You are living proof ❤ that final output is THE MUSIC 🎶🎹🎸🎼

When I think about harmonization, I think of you, Lucas! Very detailed explanation and awesome concept too!
Thank you so much for that incredible insights, Wonderboy! Love the calm and clear presentation. Your skills are amazing, all the best!
thank you, for the great class of harmony!
Searching for this kind of explanation for a long time and finally found it. :) Thank you for your vdo.
Thank you bro 😎
Very helpful 👏👏

Wow thanks a lot Lucas !!
Thanks a lot Lucas! Very interesting! Will try to get to level 3 :)
Great, Lucas!
Thank you for this experience ❤

great video and theory resume !! thanks !!!
Just awesome.. loved it... But shall be grateful if you post some simple harmony videos
Everything about this video is masterful. Well done!
thanks, very well explained and demonstrated too!
Great tutorial, continue this way of creating content

I was wondering what mic you use to record classical guitar: it sounds great!
a million thanks for what you've shared ....
Merci Lucas ! Très bonne démonstration.
I love learning theory with lucas
