What an excellent gift for all of us music and guitar students in this season of giving. I absolutely love and admire your videos, the most informative videos by any professor of guitar studies available on TH-cam. Thank you so much, Mark Newstetter. I’ll be watching this lesson many times!
Thanks. I'll admit some of this stuff is complex ...It's the kind of thing that takes time to get a handle on. Took me a while, but it's a puzzle that rewards you with great music once you get it.
@ I love the music,,, 60 years on guitar now, but no training at all in music theory,,, BUT, these last six months I’ve taken a keen interest in aspects of it,,, what I can under at least… Absolutely fascinating,,, it’s as though it’s a completely different instrument… It isn’t simply “key of”, it’s all interconnected,,, as you say, a puzzle…
This is so helpful, Mark, thank you!! I would love to see more about minor harmony. If I'm not mistaken, the harmonic minor scale (another mystery to me as to how to use it, though I know what the formula and sound of it is) plays a role as well? Are most western song forms are based around diatonic major scale harmony, with the chords from the melodic minor and harmonic minor scales playing a role in minor key songs and altered chords? Then of course there's the blues, which is a category unto itself with its I7 and IV7. No need to go into a long answer here, just some ideas I'd love to see you explore on the channel at your convenience if you feel like it. I'm grateful for your offerings.
@lucienne66 Thanks for the comment. In brief, my take on harmonic minor - for practical purposes - is to consider it a subset of melodic minor. Of course it can be taken on its own, but this is actually somewhat rare. We do get the V7 chord from it ... but in its original context, that's about all it's for. It was rarely treated as a scale in classical theory ... more as a structural concept. I did do a couple of vids on blues structure and a bit of philosophy ... th-cam.com/video/Z86EsGiN8IA/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/kcS4cY-9Zyk/w-d-xo.html
❤ your videos... I keep coming back for more, and watch them many times over hoping something gets retained in my 61 year old noggin 😂
