    I can’t believe you have only so little subscribers? I’m self taught but you have shown me so much on the guitar I am forever grateful. If you ever make it down to Melbourne, Australia beers (wine, shots, water, ??) are on me. Forever yours Anna

    After watching this video I now better understand some of the chord shapes (and subs) that I've seen Uncle Larry and GT use.
    I'm definitely going to have to watch this video again.

    Triads are the gift that keep giving! I really missed out early on learning CAGED but not really deep diving into triads individually and understanding upper structure triads it’s just endless!

  • @goingblindmusic
    @goingblindmusic ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just realized an “easy” way to remember what quality of chord each time. You just have to know what major scale the chord is from & the substitute chords are diatonic to that scale.
    A major 7 is A major scale
    A minor 7 is C major scale
    A7 is D major scale
    Hence over A minor 7
    C major
    E minor
    G major
    all C major chords.
    Over A7
    C#°
    Em
    G major
    all D major chords.
    The only place it comes unstuck is the G#m over the A major 7 but that’s because the sharp 4 was used which isn’t in A major. 😅

    I got pretty comfortable with rootless extended chords and rootless altered chords after I got all the 7 chord inversions down. I thought that was kind of a eye opener for me, sort of turned a light on.

    I know it would been a lot of editing to do but I would love to see on the screen what each chord is as far as one, four, five, major, minor etc.. i can hear the 4 and 5 and back to 1 and all that but as you move around with different voicings with not visual chord reference i get lost. We all learn in different ways and my best way is with a lot of visuals for reference. jus throwin that out there.
