Mr. Kerry2Smoothe thank you sir, I had a plateu of what sounds I can make on a guitar, and my understanding was not increasing. But somehow (which is nothing short of devine intervention) I found your channel sir and it has been a true blessing, because I really love this instrument but no one could explain it to me for the genre of music I wanted to play. So I learned all the pre requisites of learners with the instrument but still I could not put the peices together. Now my journey has been re-invigorated, learning all the chords from your website and TH-cam videos is a task but I can literally see and hear the progress my wife as well. So from one brother to another thank you man. I am taking my time and making it digestible and I constantly slow down your videos so I can keep up but you are the teacher after my own heart.
Just re-watched this. Now that I am more familiar with the different chord types (ie voicing) and stating to grasp the number system better, this lesson is a great one to practice and help me re-enforce the system.
you make so much sense as an instructor for guitar, for the first time in my life I understand what the hell the number system and shapes mean. thanks a ton kerry for your platform
Great video. From a player to player this is The Key of A minor which is also the relative key of C major depending on where you resolve to. Hope this helps. The keys that you calling major keys are really minor keys. Minor keys have a sad sound, Major keys has a Happy sound. From a player and music teacher that has been playing for over 45 years. Keep on sharing there was no videos when I started out playing. Lol.
BossJazzGuitarPlayer thanks for the clarification. Could you help understanding better the numbers system he is talking about ? Very hard to get for a new player though
Marcus Graham There are 7 chords in The minor keys and there are 7 chords in the major keys. The first chord of each key sets the tone. You must have key chart that displays this to see the visual. There are five accidentals also the makes up for the total of 12 musical notes. This is the foundation of the music that is hidden and not displayed to a people who want to know. Don’t just get a teacher but get a good teacher who can teach what your missing. Note this is a closely guarded secret in some cases🎸🎸🎸😎
hey kerry! massive appreciation for you man i’m a semi new guitarist and your videos really help man. You should check out 4am by Paris Laine i know you would kill it!
brilliant, very clear explanation and inspiring. Could you in another video of this type go further and explain how or where you use in progression or chord charts diminished chords? I saw here you used the 2b diminished chord. Thank you.
Thank you for the listing Kerry"smoo I needed that lesson you know how to work a fretboard I'm just learning on my strat it is good to thanks brother keep up the good work. 🎸🎶
You count the chords as you play them, for example Cmajor is 1, Dminor, would be 2,Eminor would be 3, FMajor would be 4, Gdominant7 would be 5, Aminor, would be 6, & B Half-Diminished,or Bminor7flat5 would7. When learning the numbers systems all you have to do my friend is count the chords as you play them like the scale. If you understand how to play scales and how they work,the numbers systems is the same way.
This helped me out a lot, but I got a question about my BOSSME80 how can I get a clearer distortion/overdrive while playing sometimes it’s too gainy for me and don’t sound clear how yours does?
if you are writing in a major key you would be correct...if ur 1 is a minor key, your m7 chord is a dom7 chord and words as a great major chord in progressions....in minor key your diminished chord is ur 2 chord.
It's not in the key... It leads nicely down to C though. Throwing in A major also resolves C# down to C but C# dim also resolves Bb up. (Also Db7 is a tritone substitution which resolves Db and Ab down a step to C and G. Great ways to get back to the 1)
Great stuff! I only wish you slow down and show us the actual chords (chart) I know you’re not catering to beginners. Or at least ring out the notes slower so it gives us time to figure out the shape. Thanks!

SO. MANY. GEMS! Thanks Kerry!

I really appreciate you passing on your knowledge....you are a BAD boy on the guitar...keep it up THANKS
you make so much sense as an instructor for guitar, for the first time in my life I understand what the hell the number system and shapes mean. thanks a ton kerry for your platform
Great lesson Kerry. i find your videos very helpful.
🔥 Lesson! Can say that because I finally understand the number system.
Great Stuff.💯✨✅
I luv this lesson

K2 you making me a pretty good player dude. Bless you man you are a God send for me to expand and extend chordal voiceings.
Can u do a lesson on nuances and double stops between chords?
This is hella helpful!
Great lesson!
You should own 20 rolls Royce and 10 Cadillacs lessons are priceless give thanks Jah bless and keep you
hey kerry! massive appreciation for you man i’m a semi new guitarist and your videos really help man. You should check out 4am by Paris Laine i know you would kill it!
Great page✊subscribed
Hi Kerry. Thank you for the lesson. Please share chord diagrams as well.
brilliant, very clear explanation and inspiring. Could you in another video of this type go further and explain how or where you use in progression or chord charts diminished chords? I saw here you used the 2b diminished chord. Thank you.
Merci
Thanks
Thank you for the listing Kerry"smoo I needed that lesson you know how to work a fretboard I'm just learning on my strat it is good to thanks brother keep up the good work. 🎸🎶
Hey brother love your work could you please do a lesson on 112 - It's your day. That would be awesome
How do you know if a number in the progression is associated with minor, major, or 7th or whatever chord type?
You count the chords as you play them, for example Cmajor is 1, Dminor, would be 2,Eminor would be 3, FMajor would be 4, Gdominant7 would be 5, Aminor, would be 6, & B Half-Diminished,or Bminor7flat5 would7. When learning the numbers systems all you have to do my friend is count the chords as you play them like the scale. If you understand how to play scales and how they work,the numbers systems is the same way.
This is amazing! can we please get some tabs? I would love to know the chord shapes are where you are hammering on and off
tr Mellow bar eh?
Nice lessons!
You Tell Me - Band lol I was thinking the same thing
what chords are you playing when you walk up at 6:34, and then again at 6:48 thru 7:02? dope stuff..
Beast...at wat he does
This helped me out a lot, but I got a question about my BOSSME80 how can I get a clearer distortion/overdrive while playing sometimes it’s too gainy for me and don’t sound clear how yours does?
What if your at church and half stepping up? Or they playing in flats?
Also is there another way to support that you would like?
i thought the 7th chord of the scale is diminished, no?
Half-diminished (m7b5) but diminished can work sometimes
@@Heybuditsme thank you.
4:05 is that always true for every progression?
It seems like most R&B uses the 2,3,6 minor and 4 major - but not so much 1 and 5. Where does that come from in theory?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 7 supposed to be diminished and not minor?
if you are writing in a major key you would be correct...if ur 1 is a minor key, your m7 chord is a dom7 chord and words as a great major chord in progressions....in minor key your diminished chord is ur 2 chord.
hope that helps
i like to use both. depends. trust your ear. No exact rules ya know?
The C# Diminished which place has in the number system?
#I if you are going y to D minor or bII if you're coming from D minor to C major if i remember correctly.
It's not in the key... It leads nicely down to C though. Throwing in A major also resolves C# down to C but C# dim also resolves Bb up.
(Also Db7 is a tritone substitution which resolves Db and Ab down a step to C and G. Great ways to get back to the 1)
Great stuff! I only wish you slow down and show us the actual chords (chart) I know you’re not catering to beginners. Or at least ring out the notes slower so it gives us time to figure out the shape. Thanks!
Its sounds good but you probably overuse that whammy a bit
