      Ok, been watching your vids. They're good. To cover the multiple ways of learning, it would be *super helpful* if you could add the sounds of what you're stating and showing (instead of a "blip" sound), so there may be an audible connection to the words and pictures. Thanks for your hard work!

      This is like the Loretta stone of guitar chords ! it’s possible to play chords simply by knowing the fingering but it’s so much more fun to know how to make the chords by knowing where to find the notes that you need to make the chords . I f I am understanding this correctly , we are Starting with the notes in the Ionian mode but we can go on to use the other modes . In a. Perfect world we could find another chord shape for each mode meaning you can make the same chord but with a different fingering shape no matter where you are at on the fretboard . Does that sound about right.

    I can NOT believe I NEVER thought to apply this strategy to the major scale. If you base it off of the major scale positions on both strings (E and A) you can create the chords across the neck on all strings and experiment with different chord voicing’s/inversions. Thank you so much! This was eye opening

    Wow. 5 years ago when I joined my high school's jazz band as a guitarist, I had never even seen a single chord symbol in my life. Triangles... circles... sharp this, add that, omit this... i was completely lost.
    I had to make Flashcards for every single chord on every song we played for 6 months until I could actually keep up with the band. I didn't understand the theory behind it at the time. I just learned one shape at one spot for each chord, which did make jumping around the fretboard really hard! But man. Those 6 months of brutal practice for hours and hours every day could've been condensed into maybe a month or less if I had this video. Awesome job!

    This is SO much easier for keyboard players! I've played keys and guitar for 50-years now and what you've described is actually pretty trivial once it's shown in context. It's when you have to contort your hands into unnatural positions on the guitar that this becomes REALLY difficult! For a keyboardist, it's a piece of cake...

      Funny thing, as a guitar player, I have the same contortion issues about playing keyboard. Especially regarding the visual aspect and transposing. It's so so much easier on guitar, IMHO. As long as I'm playing in C or G (and maybe A) piano is great fun. I've come this far, so what's with those horn players and that whole Bb thing? Talk about a guitarist nightmare? Until you tune down two frets, problem solved. Can't do that (easily) on a wooden piano tho.
      Rant over.

    I found this video very helpful, especially when naming unusual chord voicings on guitar. There was a song a friend wrote that used a open G grip up two frets (from low E to high e strings the frets would be 5-4-0-0-0-5). I now know this would be referred to as an A11 chord as it contains scale degrees 1 3 b7 9 and 11.

Dry dead pan delivery with bizarre stock images is a surefire laugh from me. But moreover your voice is also just calm and pleasant as narration. I'm really green in the music world and I'm still coming to grips with even basic theory, so this did great job demystifying chord construction for me, which previously seemed like 50% black magic. The sound effects, animations, and repeated guided breakdowns of the chord formulas made it all really easy to follow along with. Still, by the end I had trouble keeping all the new information together, so I'm gonna have to do a few repeat viewings as you recommended haha. For sure going to watch more of your videos!

    I can't begin to over exaggerate how much this lesson brings together guitar mechanics for me.
    The more you put into this, the more it gives.

    I have played music my whole life. I took a couple years of music theory in college and took guitar lessons from a Berkeley graduate who stressed music theory and also the realbook. I can tell you, that this is all very well explained here.

    I now realize why knowing your scales is so important. Super helpful

    • @MusiciansReflib
      @MusiciansReflib ปีที่แล้ว

      True, but when it comes to building chords you only need the major scale. All chord formulas, ever, are applied to major scales, Only.

    Watching this and affirming the knowledge I’ve been acquiring gradually from multiple sources was really confidence boosting. This is a very full and comprehensive guide and being able to connect/recognise all of it mostly intuitively feels like I’ve reached a solid benchmark in my understanding of chord theory. Thanks!
