Thanks. Learned something : soloing and accompanying are distinct concepts. Simple, but I never really thought about the implications. You opened up my understanding. Keep up the great work!
Love the lesson. Very common chord progression, stairway to heaven, all along the watchtower, don’t fear the reaper, and many more songs this could work for
these Openings Linesneed to be on a greatest hits VHS tape, or what ever you kids are using these days. They always Win. and always solid Vids, youre my Go To for guitar insights
I always learn something new in your videos Sean but this one helped me in particular. I’ve been obsessed with how to follow a chord progression effectively whilst improvising and how to outline chord tones - I guess an arpeggio is literally doing just that. I’m guessing the same principles apply to any chord progression provided it stays within the key?
Keys are just pitch of the MAJOR scale....It's only for REFERENCE It's easier if i explain it in C MAJOR/A min....so the accidental note wont confuse you..

Stairway is a perfect example. Am G F. His phrasing bounces back and forth highlighting a and f. Targeting the chord notes of both. Sometimes hangin longer on one or the other. Sort of avoiding the 3rd of g mostly so it's kind of neutral letting the key possibly lean into C/Am or F/Dm creating a layer of tension..Some clever overlapping phrases that could be either f or a..like 5th position a minor hits the a then c then bends the g to an a. By skipping the f The two notes c And a are in both chords..triumphant..Brilliant. If you break it down he's really going back And forth between arpeggios pretty quick. Resolutions to a c e and f. D and G get bent up or used in passing.
Thanks. This is the only vid I found on this progression.
Checking out guitar Sean, he knows all the fancy chords…
Gotta say - love the 15 minute looped-chord progression lessons - lots to explore
Love that guitar. I'll come back to this lesson. Thanks.
This is your best lesson in ages, thank you. Keep the muppets in the trunk!
Great lesson 👍
I love these looper lessons. Ties everything togeather really well.
Thanks Sean - Great Lesson !
Thanks. Learned something : soloing and accompanying are distinct concepts. Simple, but I never really thought about the implications. You opened up my understanding. Keep up the great work!
Knopfler vibes 🤙🏼
Another nice progression I will put on my iPhone GarageBand. Will title it SD654! Thanks for posting
Good stuff, Sean. I'm trying to ween myself off rooting everything off the low E. Seeing you arpeggiate from the A string is very helpful.
great lesson Sean Thank you
Great content, thanks !
The end of Sidewinder by Avenged Sevenfold is a great example of this exact progression and soloing, great lesson
Love the lesson. Very common chord progression, stairway to heaven, all along the watchtower, don’t fear the reaper, and many more songs this could work for
DIY Sultans of Swing lesson (-: Thank you!
Thanks for your latest lesson on what to play over the vi-V-IV chord progression. Appreciated.
these Openings Linesneed to be on a greatest hits VHS tape,
or what ever you kids are using these days. They always Win.
and always solid Vids, youre my Go To for guitar insights
Really good lesson, could you please do the same for other, maybe more difficult progressions? I think many people might benefit
Nice to see the Sherwood strat make an appearance with the bevy of recent sweet guitar scores👍 waiting for some bass lessons with the new fender!
Tomorrow!
Loved the comment about notes being forced....sometime I find myself forcing notes in order to pay homage to a mode...
Damnit! The man is good. The thing he doing with those slides though don't know where to begin doing that. What technique is it?
Awesome lesson! Love that strat 💚

Keys are just pitch of the MAJOR scale....It's only for REFERENCE
It's easier if i explain it in C MAJOR/A min....so the accidental note wont
confuse you..
BASIC chords/triads are just EVERY OTHER NOTE...No matter the scale
C, E, G, B, D, F, A,...They are what they are...You get what you get
It just happens to be
1, 4, 5 are MAJOR
2 3, 6 are min
7 is half diminished.
There's OTHER scales..aside natural min..Harmonic min or melodic min
But lets go to the BASIC.
A min D min E min ( vi , ii, iii).
A min D min E7 A Harmonic min ( aeo maj7)
A, C, E, G#, B, D, F
........E, G#, B, D = E7......they are what they are,.. You get what you get.
A min D7 E7 ( vi II III) Melodic min ( dorian ,maj7)
A, C, E, G#, B, D, F# A C
........E, G#, B, D..................= E7
......................D, F#, A, C...= D7
..................B, D, F#, A = B min7
C Harmonic MAJOR ( ion b6 or the Ab)
C, E, G, B, D, F, Ab, C...
C Maj.....F min G7 into C Maj
.............F, Ab, C............................The are what they are
A Harmonic min b2 ( phrygian Maj7)
.............................= Bb lyd #6
you could stack that chord
1, 3, 5, 7
1, 3, 5, #6
If you use A melodic min
you simply get.....Bb, D, F# = Bb AUGMENTED
You could use Bb Lyd #2, #6
Thise way you could stack it
Bb min #6 ( which is the same as Bb min7.
Bb7
Bb dim
A min Bb/D maj or aug......B min E7 into A min
A min Bb min Eb Min Ab min G7 into C MAJOR
A min Bb7 Eb min Gb Maj G7 into C Major
A min Bb7 Eb Maj7 Ab min G7 into C Maj
A min C Maj7 F min Db Maj7 G7 into C MAJOR
A min C Maj F min Bb dim B min D maj7 G maj into C MAJOR..
......................F min Bbdim/F# B min E7 into A min
A min Bb7 C7 into F min ( just pretend you shifted to F min/Ab Major
Then.....F harmonic min...melodic min ..ect
C Maj7 F min Dmaj7
C Maj7 F min Bb min or dim....C7 or Major
C Maj F min Bb dim into B min E7 into A min
If you leave out chords...
using F Harmonic min..as a guide
You could play..the Bb and Db as min or diminshed
hence...tritone sub ( terms) from G7
You could
C Maj Db dim G7 into C Major...if you want ( that;s all)
Most people....knows it as the N6 chord to C MAJOR...
Notice the Gb Major ????
it could be F# min
Notice how I said you can alter N6 to dominant or aug.
C Maj Db/C#7 into F# min G7 into C Major
it's the same as.........A min Bb7 into Eb maj7 or Eb min
alot of things over lap....the more scales you know or use.
it actaully EASIER to play music.
example....you could
A min Bb Maj7 C7 into F Maj/D min
...just pretend you did the sort of the same with B min E7 into A min
A min Bbmaj7 F Maj7 D min G7 into C MAJOR
or
A min B7 into E Maj7 ( E Harmonic min or A lyd b3....G# phry b4
A min G#7 into C# min D Maj7 B min E7 into A min
A min Bb dim...C dim C# min D7 E7 into A min
A min G#7 C# min D dim E7 into A min
A min D dim E dim F min Bb dim D maj7 G7 into C MAJOR
A min Bb7 C7 F Maj7 D min G7 into C Major
A min Bb maj7 G min C dim Db Maj7 Bb min Gb min G7 into C MAJOR.
USE the FRETBOARD to your ADVANTAGE...
Dont worry what keyboard players or SITE READERs can or CAN'T do.
It's EASIER to modulate to multiple KEYS and BACK on the fretboard..
especailly if you use MULTIPLE SCALES
IF you COMPREHEND it In C MAJOR/Amin....at first
You can play in ANY KEYS ( keys are just PITCH)
It's PHYSICALLY EASIER to DO on the FRETBOARD than the keyboard
player can play or site read..that is all..
example...a site reader would go apeshiet
while in C# min...as reference to play a simple C note
is it flatten.. C# note or sharpen B note..lmao
Is that a custom shop Strat? That Sherwood green is cool
Thanks! It’s a ‘62 reissue!
@@seandaniel23 I have a '65 Custom Shop in Surg Green. Awesome.
Couldn’t you also solo iii, ii, I?
Or vii, vi, V? (5ths of the fifths)
"I can feel it coming in the air tonight"...;)
Classic!
note to editor; put one of those crime scene blurrys over that dead finger..otherwise very nice review here. i think i need a looper pedal.
Kinda "Sultans of Swing"-like.
Stairway is a perfect example. Am G F. His phrasing bounces back and forth highlighting a and f. Targeting the chord notes of both. Sometimes hangin longer on one or the other. Sort of avoiding the 3rd of g mostly so it's kind of neutral letting the key possibly lean into C/Am or F/Dm creating a layer of tension..Some clever overlapping phrases that could be either f or a..like 5th position a minor hits the a then c then bends the g to an a. By skipping the f The two notes c And a are in both chords..triumphant..Brilliant. If you break it down he's really going back And forth between arpeggios pretty quick. Resolutions to a c e and f. D and G get bent up or used in passing.
Not quite Cosmic Jade but I think your Strat pairs nicely with your PBass :)
Dylan One more cup of coffee?
