In a world full of guitar teachers whose advice on diminished chords is usually "just ignore them for now" -- where "for now" means "for EVER" -- this has been the most valuable 30 minutes I've spent on TH-cam all year. Thank you! 🤘
@@soundguitar I am, and I've been playing with this for a few hours now, but I'm wondering something: If you can slide that C#dim7 up three frets and have the same chord, why aren't you doing that, since it lays right on top of the Dmin? Is that just a preference, or is there theory behind it that I'm not getting?
@@crashdaddy261 Happy to help, but I don't understand the question. Sorry, can you rephrase? Why am I not doing that when? I often do do that. I'd love to answer as best I can. Thanks!
@@soundguitar I figured it out. It's because you're demonstrating the 5th-String Root Dim7 chord, which is why you were using it where you were (in the demonstration). So that the C# would be the note on the 5th string. I took the fact that you can slide a Dim7 chord three frets and still have the same chord as an excuse to play it in the same position where you were playing the Dmin. Because it's fun and makes my fingers do this crazy little dance when I play them both on top of each other. If that makes any sense...
Thanks so much, Antoine!! -- For anyone reading this, check out Antoine's channel! Also, he has a great diminished chords lesson that will reinforce info from this lesson and provide additional insights of his own: th-cam.com/video/uTDQKuMXzqM/w-d-xo.html
i really dig the flow this guy has. not speaking too slowly not too fast not trying to steer you to his patreon so he can take up hours of your time to keep milking you. this guy gives really lays it on you. hell of an instructor.
Not many instructors are as thorough as you Jared, not to mention your originality - for students like me that haven't done music school or private teaching, it's truly a gift! Thanks mate!
Thanks so much! That kind of feedback helps a lot-It helps me continue to move towards just being myself and teaching the way I want to instead of worrying about what's the most "youtube friendly" 🙏 🙏 🙏 cheers, ~~ Jared
The idea of a half step from below or a whole step from above is indeed a game changer. I wish I had known this 500 hours of diminished chord study ago :) Alas, the understanding gained will still be useful (hopefully). Thanks for another excellent lesson. The light bulb is finally on.
Wow! Honestly... I've played guitar for many years and piano for ten or more; I've listened to soooo many explanations of diminished chords but yours is the absolute best ever. I am now going to lock myself in a room and play with these things. One of the best lessons ever. Thank you so much.
I have been playing guitar for 60 years - Rock, Blues, and Jazz. This is the best lesson I have ever seen period - since Jared tells how to use this chord to function in so many ways in music. Thanks Jared!
That's cool, Jared! I'm so glad that i ran across this video. (I came here from the video in the email on 3/26. You were going through using the dim chords as steps between the chords in the scale of C, and you mentioned this video, which is "all about dim chords.") It is! And i know enough theory to really appreciate it. It's really a fascinating thing, the C dim7 (or any dim 7 chord), all of its properties, and ways it can be used. You hooked me! I will learn the 3 shapes well, and start using them often in my playing, impeovising, and song writing. Thanks again, Jared! 👍 👌
love the way you teach ... moving through the various forms with explanation . So much info to digest ... best 32 minutes of guiter I have seen on youtube ever . THANK YOU.
In our Lutheran hymnal, one of our canticles modulates from Dm to G at the end by going Dm - C - F - Bb - Adim7 - Gmin7 - D/F# - G. It sounds awesome! Great video!
Aloha Jared* This is the best clear and comprehensive explanation I've seen on Diminished Chords! Like many of your other videos, superb. 3-shot editing w/ graphics we appreciate it! Very professional and will always be a classic reference for many.
Incredible. Detailed and accessible. I appreciate how you were able to deliver so much rich information with accessible language and approachable examples.
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge, composing the "chords with color" and "printable parent scales" booklets, and giving those out as free resources. I've spent so much time re-googling the same things over the years, and to have everything in one clear place is so relieving in a way I didn't even think I need to be relieved. Thanks for saving me time to play more!!!--- Subscribed
This is really unbelievable,this 30 minutes lesson really was astonishing,didnt know i can open up the fretboard using dim chords,goota hand it to you buddy 👏👏👏👏👏👏 simply WOW!!
Jared, my mind is blown! This title isn't even click-bait! I'm so happy to see your channel gaining momentum. I really felt the joy in this lesson! Thank you 🤟
Wow, simply wow ... this is for sure one of the most valuable lessons I followed in a long time. Precious 32 minutes. Thank you very much for that. Will follow and look for the other ones. BUT: since I am very inspired to pick up my guitar for hours now ... I have to explain to my wife that all the work that has to be done in our garden will have to be rescheduled 😇🤣
I've understood more in the space of time this video took that what I've understood in the last few months! I'm not a guitarist but dabble on the bass & composition - Thank you!!
Thanks for the information. I've been working on trying to figure out how to incorporate diminished chords into my playing and you just explained it so well. Unbelievable how simple the patterns and shapes are with the way you broke it down. This opened up a whole other chapter in my knowledge and I'm already having a blast using the chords to modulate and jump to the different voicings. Definitely feel like this is going to get me out of that rut.
I've just now found ure channel. Lovin ure style, at last I feel like I've got a start connection to dim chords. Thank you. Incidentally we've got very similar electric guitars
Tremendously refreshing information and might I add, very well-produced videos. Like most of us, I have watched many-not just guitar, of course. Yours are among the best. Succinct, very well paced and conveying a contagious enthusiasm for music and its intersection with guitar.
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for sharing it with your daughter. Sharing the videos is one of the most helpful things and I really appreciate that :) I hope she finds it useful as well. Cheers - Jared
I’m only 60% through but just have to stopand say that this is the clearest explanation of diminhed chords I have seen. Absolutely excellent, thank you. Subscribed. I might be wrong but this seems to be one of the ways Joe Pas used to get around the guitar neck so defty… I’m thinking in particular of his album “Virtuoso” which I imagine you know…. (In the unlikely event that you don’t know it then would highly recommend it)
I have been fascinated with diminished chords for a long time. But this lesson seriously enhances my understanding of how to apply them in comping. So simple. Thanks.
Another great lesson from Jared. This is high quality instruction rarely found in so much detail on youtube. I purchased 3 of his courses and they are excellent, they helped me improve my understanding of music theory as well as my playing. The theory plus the exercises are high quality. Diminished chords are so interesting to me, most instructors skip them, focusing only on major, minor, and dominant. Jared lays out a master class telling us everything there is to know.
Hello Jared, I've been following religiously all of your free content on TH-cam and I feel like a complete different guitar player. I have a metal background and understanding theory with your videos was a complete game changing. I was very interested in your Nail the Changes course however I cannot afford it, do you have any suggestions or alternatives to improve to the next level?
Hi Devan. Thanks for watching and following along! I'm so glad to hear that my lesson are helping :) ~~ I totally understand not being able to afford the premium courses so no worries on that - what I recommend for getting to the next level just takes a little more work in terms of being organized and strategic but it's very possible. Decide your specific goal for what the the next level means to you and what you need to work on to get there, search my library of free videos to get exercises and training on those topics (just use the search on my main youtube page), then get super clear on what exercises you're going to master and be consistent with them. Update the structure and routine you're doing as needed. With a practice structure like that, and clarity on where you're trying to go, you'll level up big time. Let me know how it goes and reach out with questions anytime. ~~ cheers, -Jared
I think of the bb7 (double flat 7) as simply differentiating the note from the 'normal' dominant 7th of the scale. For example, if we take the key of C, the dominant 7th would be Bb (B flat). So there could be a temptation to associate the 7th in a diminished chord with the dominant 7 of the scale, which would be incorrect. As you pointed out, the 7th in a C diminished is actually an A - one tone down from Bb (the C scale dominant 7th!), so calling it a double flat 7 is actually a good choice. 🙂
Fantastic presentation! I knew some of the facts you presented, but didn't give them much if any thought and haven't really took any time to work with/on them. Diminished chords can definitely be considered the missing link(s)! Oops, I'm sorry I failed to address you by name, Jared. I'll be viewing other of your presentations, to be sure.
Big thanks. I know dim7 can resolve to Maj or Min chord a half step above. But down a whole step is an a additional vocabulary. But what is the theory about it?
Please make a video in this style to the tension and release using augmented chords off the tonic to the 4th then the borrowed 4th of that minor scale back to home (wake me up when september ends things) but the tonic to the 4 reminds me of dead sea by the lumineers
This is a great video! Very thorough and well taught! Thank you very much. I was thinking that, strictly speaking, a diminished 7th chord consists of 3 stacked minor 3rd intervals followed by an augmented 2nd interval to arrive at the root of the chord an octave above the starting note.
When naming notes in a diminished scale, I like to use: 1 2 b3 4 b5 #5 6 7 (1). That way, you have 5 common tones with the major scale and 3 altered tones. I find it easier to process.
Excellent point! To reiterate for others reading: bb7 to 1 is technically the interval of an augmented 2nd, not a minor 3rd. Thanks for pointing that out here, Peter!
Hi Jared, excellent lesson. I have instinctively picked up on diminished chords this year and this content has helped greatly in that it has given focus and direction to this way of playing for myself. It's very exciting for me to know that I can progress while having fun, while removing at the same time the dreaded players block I have been going through of late as regards to pretty much everything guitar and regurgitating the same old stuff. Is there a lesson on your picking style for these progressions and more besides?😉
Thanks so much! I'm glad to help anyone get past players block :) Regarding the picking style, are you interested in my picking with the actual pick, or my fingerstyle? I switch between those in this lesson. I can point you towards videos those things for sure. For example, here's a hybrid picking lesson which is one of the techniques I use often: th-cam.com/video/Ma6yYttz7lE/w-d-xo.html
Wish I could give more likes. Your presentations have been quite amazing from what I have seen so far. I can follow you considerably more effortlessly than Ted Greene, who I had previously turned to when trying to increase my music theory and how it applies to the guitar. After watching this I have determined woodshedding these ideas and techniques will definitely help me. And that video you did on shell chords was an awesome one also. Live Long and Prosper Jared.🎶
Great question! Thanks for the request. Here's a video on inversions and voicings of dominant 7th chords: th-cam.com/video/ND-PumPh3yw/w-d-xo.html. It's not the exact same type of video I did here with diminished, but I think you'll appreciate it if you're looking for dominant 7 info. Cheers and thanks for watching! :) -Jared
Need clarification please : A is the Diminished 7 interval of B? Referring to the C Diminished chord. When I count C to C I get 9 notes and not 8 as the Major scale. Apologies if you deem this a dumb question. I thank you in anticipation.
