Yeah, the fact that there was no mention of Leonard Cohen when bringing this song up is pretty disappointing. I understand why Jeff Buckley was the primary focus, but yeah.
@@leejaybirdmusic9829 that was my point. In the context, Jeff's version makes sense to be the focus. Just does quite a disservice to the one who wrote it by not at least giving him a nod. In the grand scheme of things, doesn't make much difference, though.

This is the very song that was playing in the room when my sister passed. She'd been in hospice for about a week, fading away from brain cancer, but she fought hard. I couldn't think of a more fitting song to be playing if I were stepping off of this world. Very cool stuff
I agree Jeff Buckley's rendition was hauntingly beautiful. What an amazing guitarist and singer,beautiful voice and beautiful playing. I love this song.
Legendary Licks you can't play, because they are in a completely untraditional or abnormal chord progression.... But still already knowing this song, this does have such a beautiful progression to it! Awesome work here!
I started learning to play the guitar as a 13 year old in 1970,... my original passion was fuelled by attemting to replicate Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore's playing styles...I'm still learning. There's something about the song "Hallelujah" which makes me feel that you're attempting gild a particularly beautiful lily..... Adding more notes won't change the original, Whether it's the Leonard Cohen version, or later revisions,...and the pure raw emotion has to have the "space to breathe" ... that empty space says much more than 10,000 notes. Many thanks for the video , there were definitely things to learn.
The first time I've heard it was back in 2005. Last day of middle school, in the school's chapel (imagine the acoustics), the school's choir performed it accompanied on the guitar by a guy I knew. That day I had an epiphany. That was the day I decided to learn to play guitar. And Hallelujah was the very first song I've been able to play and sing at the same time. Thanks for this lesson Tyler!
ok seriously.. best timing for a video ever. My grandfather died at that day you uploaded this. Finally i learned a cool way to play this song! Thanks!
This is the first video where you show yourself as a good teacher!!! I have seen many of your videos, but finally, you show good skills. Seems like you are super relaxed and eager to tell and teach. Keep up the good work mate!!!
I agree this is a great progression. I finger-pick the song at capo 5. I was at a picking circle last night and started it during a small break and everyone just stopped and listened. It's definitely a very pretty song. Another one that has a similar effect on folks is "Landslide".
My favourite composition is Canon in D. Really depends on exposure as well, I’m told that canon in D is played in every Christian wedding so people from christian countries are accustomed to that composition. But in other places whenever I play canon people think I’m some expert musician
Yeah but it's meaningful to so many ppl. It was played at my mother's funeral. It never fails to tug at my heart strings. Same for many. Either Wedding or Funeral nostalgia. Cheesy or not, it always makes me up for a good 😖😫😭!!
Berkley taught you to be an incredible musician. I love every video. I had friend that went to Berkeley out of high school. He became a master at guitar as well. I sure wish I had followed.
Little Wing by Hendrix The Rain Song by Zeppelin (already mentioned but bares repeating) The outro of Sir Psycho Sexy by Chili Peppers Life On Mars by Bowie
I think the progression from Covered in Rain by John Mayer is probably the most beautiful set of chords I've ever heard. Only two chords throughout the whole song, and it just pours out so much emotion. Would love to see you do a video on it sometime!
If you are in E standard, place the Capo at the 5th fret, play the G shape to Em shape. You get to let more strings ring out and it sound really nice. Playing it with your fingers instead of a pick sound great too. I'm a huge Jeff Buckley fan. Thanks for the video. Cheers
Such a simple chord progression, Em7,G,D C, yet the way its played and the little intricacies of taking your finger off the 2nd fret of the A string and hammering back on while playing that C just makes it.(If you dont understand what I mean by taking off and hammering back on watch someone play it you'll see) Also the bassline for that song is amazing as well. Shit everything about that song is amazing, Laynes Singing, Jerry Cantrells Guitar playing and solo on it, Mike Starrs bassline(Mike inez joined a little later). Everything. Especially the Unplugged version. Man I think I'm gonna go watch that set now😂
No disputing the beauty of said chord progression. I have always been partial to The Rain Song by Led Zep. Different strokes for different folks. Enjoyed the video.
An incredible song by Leonard Cohen. Thank you. I can not play it in that key for my vocals (I use a G fingering capo’d on 2nd fret so Key of A, you can find it on TH-cam if you choose to look) but you had some great ideas. A favourite song of mine. Cheers. Mark
If you want to be nitpicky, it's pronounced capo like bottle cap, originating from Italian as most music terms in the west does. This is because the music notation we have today saw its roots in Italy and Spain, first with the church (with more plain, Gregorian chants), and then with the evolution of expression through dynamics, tempo, et cetera. They needed a way to describe it so they used words and symbols, and when music started to go beyond the church during the Renaissance era, starting in Northern Europe, many of these concepts had already been standardized so they kept it.
I need to admit I am disappointed you didn't mention Leonard Cohen wrote the song. It was popular before Jeff performed it - though his version is magical.
"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley. It is considered as the "baseline" of secular hymns. But I was a huge Jeff Buckley devotee while he was alive, not sure wether this Buckley who is around these days is his son or not.
I play keys and watch all your stuff...I love perspectives of theory from musicians in instruments I don't play. It's fun and challenging to incorporate into my own playing.
Regarding chord substitutions, in an interview I read, the keyboardist in Cohen’s touring band in the 80’s played during rehearsal a bunch of substitutions for chords in Hallelujah under the impression that complexity is good. Cohen stopped her and said to please play a C, not a C 6/9 etc. ...the song is written to be simple and straight forward, he told her. Her comment was that she had a natural tendency as a jazz player to substitute but Cohen was wise enough to know that the simple chords made the song what it is.
I particularly like how the lyrics literally walk you through the chord changes 'It goes like this - the 4th, the 5th. The minor fall, the major lift'.
True but Buckley took it over. Sort of like "All Along the Watchtower" that that other guy wrote (his name I can't remember right now) but Hendrix adopted & made famous. Hendrix's version is sublime. Just like Buckley's version captures the pain & longing much more profoundly than Cohen. Just a matter of opinion. Respect.
@@gabrieljohannson6777 I dont agree with that logic especially since if you ask most people, they have no idea who Jeff Buckley is because he died so early on in his career. His wording makes it sound like he wrote it and he didnt . Leonard Cohen is hands down one of the best song writers of all time a d he should have specified that Jeff's version is a cover.
@@gabrieljohannson6777It may be true the Buckley's version is more accessible to the average listener than the Leonard Cohen version but by the time Buckley got around to doing this song, it was already widely known by other artists and recognized as a great song for them to do, not to mention the fact it went nowhere when Buckley originally released his version. This Leonard Cohen song is why we remember Jeff Buckley. A hallmark of a great songwriter is how many other artists of note cover their work. Hallelujah has been covered by around two hundred different artists. I just went looking through Jeff Buckley's discography and couldn't find anybody of note who's ever recorded one of his songs. In fact, the only way we know about Jeff Buckley's version is because it's on the soundtrack of the movie Shrek.
i think the best chord progression is little wing and the best part is there's no definite way to play it hendrix played in everyway possible and embellished it to death and its still gorgeous
As a Canadian, I’m a little miffed Lenard Cohen wasn’t mentioned as the creator of this masterpiece.... but also as a Canadian, I’ll forgive your not mentioning it hahah. Beautiful job of a beautiful tune Tyler.
Comfortably Numb has a really good chord progression. Even though the chord progression goes i-bvii-bvi-iv-i, it still sounds good. The chorus alternates between a I-V in D major and a I-V in C major (bVII-IV in D major), which grounds itself in.
"Hallelujah" was first released on Cohen's studio album Various Positions in 1984, and he sang it during his Europe tour in 1985. The song had limited initial success but found greater popularity through a 1991 cover by John Cale, which formed the basis for a later cover by Jeff Buckley. "Hallelujah" has been performed by almost 200 artists in various languages. For a know it all, you don't know anything.
Buckley version is overcooked, like some X Factor contestant howling at the moon. Writer Leonard Cohen's understated delivery is masterful. Accept no substitute.
Ok I just learned the C cord. I found this vid the most expiring thing I have ever heard. Thank you. So very much. Just turned on my amp. Practice Playing Now. God bless you. And I will get better. Thanks again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😎
If he just didn't want to mention Leonard Cohen's name cuz he didn't want to get the video demonetized he could have at least said that much. It's a glaring omission. This is a Leonard Cohen song. He said if you haven't heard of Jeff Buckley you're in for a treat he should have said if you haven't heard of Leonard Cohen you're in for a treat.
This is one of the most amazing progressions imo, but two of my other favorites that would hold that spot are Sultans of Swing, and the keyboard progression in Year of the Cat by Al Stewart.
Beethoven didn’t sing, and Hendrix’s voice was mediocre. Jeff Buckley is arguably the greatest singer of all time, and his guitar proficiency was arguably even better. I don’t think Tyler was off with his statement. Jeff probably was the most well-rounded musician of all time.
I really like this lesson concept! Always want to learn how to expand on songs everyone loves. I will say tho... I learned this song in G and when you were starting on a C shape my brain took a second to calibrate haha
What's your favorite chord progression? What do you think of the end result of this video? ANSWER ME!
Music is Win hi
Every good chord progression has its own specialty. My favorite is fade to black and one.
Wonderwall. Duh.
This is a joke please don't kill me.
Little wing jimi hendrix
My favorite is The Spirit Carries On or Through Her Eyes by Dream Theater
For me "The Rain Song" have a truly beatiful chord progression, such an underrated song man
Joel Hernandez Landeros Amazingly beautiful
Oh yes
I say capo, not to be mistaken with capo. I hear a lot of people pronounce it capo, but the right way to say it is capo.
Allan Andersen - thanks for clearing that up for me.
I literally just kept reading it as capo
Ah yes you can't forget the great capoo pronunciation
Tomato, tomato.

Leonard Cohen wrote Hallelujah .... but Jeff did a wondrous job !!!
Yeah, the fact that there was no mention of Leonard Cohen when bringing this song up is pretty disappointing. I understand why Jeff Buckley was the primary focus, but yeah.
He said it was made popular by Jeff, not that Jeff wrote it. But still should have gave credit to the original writer.

I get your point but no version compares to Jeff's, might aswell have been his song
@@iamanactualcat I mean, speak for yourself. There are over 200 professional covers of this song alone. I prefer the original over all others.

Knopfler's "Going home: the theme of local hero" is my fav chordprog, Hendrix's "Little wing" and "Bold as Love".
The Prophet by gary moore has a really beautiful chord progression
Alex Kna 🇮🇪

If you want to be nitpicky, it's pronounced capo like bottle cap, originating from Italian as most music terms in the west does.

I instantly thought of "rain song". But there are many others.
Edit: I realize the alternate open g tuning has a lot to do with it.
Must say the added little extras moving chords up the frets made this sound great
*G-D-C INTENSIFIES*
GREAT video. Love your “plug-in voicings” of a very simple and beautiful song.
I need to admit I am disappointed you didn't mention Leonard Cohen wrote the song. It was popular before Jeff performed it - though his version is magical.
It was kinda popular but buckley blew it out of the water
Outro to Floods - Pantera.... Period. I can't describe the beauty. My favorite thing to play over also.
