Building Chords, Easy Music Theory
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2012
- If you like this style of learning, I made a class with my friend Ian on how to build up the confidence to play with other musicians. I'm really proud of it so check it out:
www.udemy.com/how-to-jam-on-g...
Learn the basic elements of chord-building that can be applied to any instrument. The major scale is all you need to know to make any major or minor chord in any musical key on guitar, piano or anything else.

thanks musician pewdiepie
Lowkey he looks like pewds 😂😅
@@patelokam8987 Sounds like him too 😩
thank you, I feel like I'm at the beginning of a very clear vision :D
Happy to help!!
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "guitar chords simple" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Had u improved?
Ist das Janusz??
Yo saame
feels like dexter is teaching me music theory
But without the killings!
+Sean Daniel ... yet
Slightly fewer killings, yes. I may not be applying the lesson properly I must admit; but I think I get the gist of it. :D
dragonfly Whoa, I thought about this during the past 3 videos I watched from this guy. Cool to know that I wasn't the only one.
... with Frank Underwood's speech pattern.
i will have to smoke a joint first and come back to watch again to understand any this.
Best of luck!!
hahahaha
How can you not understand this?
For those who dont get it yet . I think it helps to know First , that to get the C scale for example you got to write all the notes in music A to G ( 12 in total ) then you pull out the notes you want to make the C scale . Then after you have the C scale written out you can apply the formula Sean gives here . the 1 ,4 ,5 are major chords the 2,3 6 are minor chords . Been playing a while but only just got my head around this . But its pretty simple if you follow the steps .
@@billieklein1677 get out of here smartass prick. Some people don't understant it as easily, stop showing off the fact that you do.
BLESS you for this video!!! I’m learning guitar and absolutely could not understand why and how each major chord is determined. I know the individual notes but just couldn’t understand how the chords comes together. I’ve looked at many many videos but no one was explaining HOW the chords are determined. Thank you a million times over for this!!!
Thank you Sean. This was a great lesson. I am 59, just started last April so I am 10 months in to learning to enjoy playing guitar. I've seen many similar graphics as you presented here, but none actually rang clear to me. My brother is a good guitarist, (a lefty) and he pointed me to your materials this past weekend. I am excited to get home from work tonight and try this exercise. Thanks again!
+Rob Francis That's awesome. I'm happy to help and let me know if you have any questions or future video ideas!
Are u still playing ?
@@prankerboy1302 he dead lol 💀
I am a hobby guitarist and I have played for 15 years. In order to expand my playing, I want to know my way around the fretboard way better to call for a chord wherever I need and with the amount of strings I need. This gives me the basis for it. You explain very clearly and have fun while at it. New subscriber, even if I am joining in 7 years too late haha.
You still playing? Any update? hope all is well.
Boy, first time I really feel I’m starting to understand all these major, minor chords and music. Thanks!!!
So cool to hear!! Thanks for watching!
Someday I'll be fit and handsome like you, Sean! In the meantime I'll work on my chord theory. Nice vid.
Great video with the changing colours, I feel I am learning, need to watch and listen more than once, it's like magic, but it makes sense! Thanks
What
4 years..
Did you becam fit 🤔
*intense staring*
Did you joel?? Did you???
Give us the update Joel, give us the update.
I have learned so much from your videos Sean. Many thanks, keep up the excellent work.
Thanks so much for watching!
Would have helped if you related it back to guitar explain it using the fret board most guitar players learn by example and ear
To put it mildly, think of each note in the C Major Scale (C D E F G A B) that he used as being two frets apart on your guitar's fingerboard, except for E and B because they are 1 fret apart from the next note. The third string is the D, so by going two frets down from the top of the fingerboard you'll play the E. After you have memorized which notes each string is, then you will try to play three notes on three different strings at the same time, following the rules he described for major/minor chords.
Great job!! I already know the music theory but I like to see how people explain it. Your way of teaching is awesome, in my opinion. The only thing is the speed but, hopefully the good thing is it's on video, so we can pause, rewind and replay!! Keep on the good work Sean!!
I was wondering how you stayed so fit into your 20s.
Just clean livin Brian ;)
You should be fit in your 20’s. Come on now.
@@roadglide Well it's been a long time. I forgot.
@@roadglide dude your channel is a TH-cam relic!
@@roadglide 😂right
This is the best explanation on the subject I have come across in 31 years of playing guitar ! Brilliant.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
this is something I have always been confused with. I am still learning but don't know where to start & where to go next. I loved this. I will be sure to go over this as much as I need to. From what others have said bout your other videos I will next chance get to watching more of them & learn more. Thank you it is a big help to someone still learning & wants to learn & loves music
Just saying I had no idea how music theory worked until I watched this video and my mind is blown away
It’s 2023, Bro I still watching your guitar concept video. It’s fantastic you explained fully basics of guitar in very deep way. Superb bro 😎 you are awesome. You deserve more than millions likes 👍 on this video. Love from 🇮🇳 INDIA
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ll keep the vids coming!
omg, it was always so simple!! Thanks 💟 you just opened my eyes 😭
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Julieta ♥️
this is pretty awesome! Most interesting part to me is how all the notes follow the same triad formula, and you can just get the difference between major and minor with how the triad sounds.
Great, simple, clear lesson! I've never heard anyone explain in this way. I've been playing guitar (self entertainment) by following sheet music, but I've never understood this main thing of a scale and how the chords are determined as Maj and Min, etc. Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
@@seandaniel23 you are amazing thanks for help
Hey thanks man. You explained it really well... this will stick with me forever. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Sean spot on, I should have thought outside of the square a little more. cheers from the land down under!!!
Thanks so much Rob! Cheers from the US!
I’ve never done anything with music theory and I’m trying to learn guitar, this video was immensely helpful
Wow this video was made when I was 11. I’m 19 now so it’s crazy how helpful this video can be years down the road for somebody else. Thank you for making this!!
Dude, You make learning the guitar, learning some theory so so simple! Your're awesome. Wonder why other instructors make it seem like some guarded magic not worthy for us mortals!Thanks again - Keep making more vids - you rock Sean !
Thanks so much, but yeah it confuses me too that more instructors don't take enough time talking about the nuts and bolts behind music. The mission continues!
@@seandaniel23 I hate the way music theory is taught lol took me 6 years to get a decently functional understanding. Of course I used Toutube and never got a teacher haha probably didn’t help
Great! You made this sooooo simple- Thanks
Thanks for your very amazing way of teaching Mr. Sean. You have my gratitude and thanks always. Respects.
Oh my gosh thank you. I’ve been having such a hard time understanding chords and this made it so much easier to understand.
Great Teacher! Very Well Explained. Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Great video. Simple and easy to understand. Thanks!
Happy to help!
I usually don't comment on videos but I have to say this way of teaching is so easy and understandable. Keep up with good work man
Unbelievable! Making the complicated simple. Thank you!
Happy to help Brent!
Thanks Sean, Will have to watch again and take some "notes".
Groaaaaaan
*notes-uh
I take notes too 😊
Music theory is the only subject that I actually would like to take notes on
BROOOOOO
You are absolutely right. I wish I had known this 35 years ago when I first picked up a guitar. I have struggled ever since - and giving up many times along the way-trying to figure out how notes and chords fundamentally work together. Thank you so much!
Wow that just blew my mind, I’m doing guitar theory and I’m on this section and don’t quite understand it so I’m researching it and stumbled upon this video, now I’m ready to take my next test. Thanks 🙏
Thank you. This is the simplest and most comprehensive demo on this subject I've seen.
After watching this I'm really disappointed in my guitar teacher from when I was a teen. It's so simple. Thanks!
Glad I took the minute, well 5:39 to be exact. Time well spent ;-)
You are a great teacher, thanks for helping me understand this.
You're a natural teacher. Very witty, and I really enjoyed your video! Great Job!
I love you even more with that Resistance poster in the background.
The legends!
Everything makes so much sense now.... I'm gonna go play Slipknot
Excellent! Thank you, Sean!
This type of information is 1000 times more beneficial than memorizing song licks or fretboard scale patterns. Thanks.
This should be the first lesson in music theory for every guitar player.
YEEES! Finally someone explained what I've been looking for.
+Ola Nordmann (LoverBoyJr) So great to hear!! Let me know if you ever have any questions!
Thank you so much! This helped me understand how to build chords and what makes a chord major or minor.
As a person that's taken a large amount of music theory classes, I've found this video to explain the basic knowledge necessary to understand what a chord progression is in an amazingly accessible way. Now I can help people understand what I mean when I say 2-5-1
I've been playing guitar for about 15 years, and have never done anything with music theory. I've gotten through about 4 minutes of this, and I'm already confused beyond belief. I guess I need a guitar music theory for dummies book
Same. Not 15 years but can play guitar and this made no sense to me 😂 I just don't get it at all and don't feel like I need to. My dad's played for over 50 years and never learned anything about music theory. He was just bang into blues and wanted to play along to the songs he liked, he was only 15 so he got taught how to play them and I'm not really sure how he progressed from there. Probably just carried on playing his latest favourite song by ear and never actually composed any music, just naturally knew what sounded good when improvising. His playing style is vastly different from mine. I could never get his finger picking skills in a million years and don't really need to
Wait, how do you do impromptu riffs and shit without knowing guitar theory? Is it all feeling?
@@user-lp4cm4dj6t I know chords and what sounds good. I used to turn on the radio and find notes on the fret board. I've only ever learned one major and one minor blues scale and kinda figured out everything else off that. :)
@@GrizzleGear when you choose chords for a melody, how would you choose the chords?
@@user-lp4cm4dj6t
No it’s Tab. Tab gets anyone playing. Just not understanding how and why notes are created.
this is exactly what i searched for...thanku for this. noone wants to talk about it or undertstand mechanics,they just want to jump to play.
So glad it was helpful!
@@seandaniel23 its been 10 years since you've uploaded this video and you're still replying to the new comments. glad to see the grind 💪💪
@@mayo4911 never stops!
You have helped me so much man...I appreciate it! This is what I been trying to figure out and you made it so easy to understand how to put music together!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great video, I watched other videos on this concept but the visual presentation of this one made it much easier. Thx man!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Immediately liked and subscribed within the first 13 seconds.
Welcome to the party!
This is a humble man....
Yea humble man bragging about his looks, such humbleness
randyrrs It’s jokes bro lighten up
got to go back to basics, thanks for the concept...u r great
Thanks so much for watching!
This really helped. All the other information I found explained it well, but not for a beginner who knows nothing about music(me) to understand. But your video explained it well and simply. I even took notes. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Oh my gosh that intro 🤣
That's one way to engage your audience!
I literally just learned simple music theory in 4 minutes 😨🔥
So glad to hear the vid was helpful man!

Joe Wills what
TAT PIZZADUDE the ability to speak doesn’t make you intelligent
TAT PIZZADUDE bitch stfu b4 u get the “Pizza” slapped from yo dumbass
I've watched so many videos and this is the first one in which all of this actually makes sense. Thank you
For the two weeks I’ve owned a guitar I’ve felt extremely confused because I didn’t understand the theory behind chords. Coming from bass to guitar it’s super confusing. This is the first video I’ve found that explains it well. Every other video has assumed the viewer has a lot of background knowledge which I just didn’t have. This video would make sense to someone who just knows the musical alphabet. Thank you!
I see resistance album. Thumbs up!!
You know it!
awesome, great explanation :) worth watching (y)
Thanks so much!
OMG !!! This was awesome !!! Thank you for explaining this so simply.
I always wanted to know the exact thing you just spoke about in the video. Thank you so much.
My respects for actively reading comments after ten years
I appreciate everyone watching!
thank you 4 this u really helped me
no body want to share a knowlage
these days ...
I gotchu!
Thank you. It's hard to find a good TH-cam channel that will put down the guitar and offer you some real fundamental knowledge. Thanks
This video is like a Gem💎. Why I didn't find this 9 years ago?!!! Thank you so much for explaining this.
First 10 seconds are awesome. Hahah
Just speakin the truth my man.
Hi man, thanks for such wonderful way of explanation. You have got great talents in music education. My question is, can you follow the same pattern as you describe for a Minor scale as well? In the video you use the C Major scale, but for instance is this possible to use the same pattern (1, 4 and 5th notes for major chords and 2, 3 and 6th notes for the minor chords) for a minor scale as well? For example:
On a C# minor scale (C# D# E F# G# A B) can I find harmonize chords with the above pattern?
Cheers!
Great question and it still works. Every minor key exists inside of a major key, and it's always the 6th note of the major scale. So in the video, the 6th note is A. If you're playing a song in A minor, you just plug the A into the 6 spot and everything works the same way. So for C# minor, if you think of C# as 6, D# as 7, then E is one and you're also in the key of E major. So the 1,4,5 major 2,3,6 minor still works but you need to apply it to the key of E. So you have to go one extra step but everything is still good.
thank you! i have been learning different chords by heart and now i can name them. after almost 20 years!
One of the clearest expositions! Thank you!
Does that mean that in different keys e.g. Key of C and A, the major chord of the one key has the same notes but in the other key its the minor chord?
So C major and A minor have the exact same notes. It's essentially the same key, but you would say it's in 'A minor' is the song starts on an A minor chord and resolves there.
omg it finally clicked thank you
So cool to hear!
Thanks bro this is so informative since im starting ill stay tune
Been looking for someone to explain exactly this. Can’t believe this is still the best video about it. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Watching the first 5 seconds: yes yes of course, wait wat?
Rewinding the video: Oh yea that makes sense
I have been playing the piano for a while and about half way through I realized I CAN FUCKING PLAY THE GUITAR NOW
+Boudrot Multi-instrumentalist alert!
Finally! Someone that explains it for what it truly is. For once, this makes sense. Thank you.
That was a pretty awesome presentation out of all videos I have seen in a to the point format 👏🏽
I spy a muse poster in the background.....
I’m happy
My fave.
wat- the rainbow thingy?
@@Valkzuu yup, it’s the album cover for their album ‘The Resistance’
@@thekid9279 ooooohhh ok :]
You look like ab devilliers .
And he is an awesome cricketer.
I'll take that as an extreme compliment :)
Been trawling through tutorials for a week now and that was the most concise explanation yet! Much appreciated! (Seriously tho we still need your tutorial on the look-this-great at 28 technique plz).
Haha, thanks so much! Coming soon :)
Straight and to the point, I like it! 👍
😂great intro
So if i play each note seperatly im making arpeggios? Or is that a whole another lesson
You're right on man. Arpeggios or just taking whichever chord you want and grabbing one note at a time.
Sean: I used to have a natural mohawk, when I was a baby, but it went dyslexic, trying to understand this part of music theory, ... 😂
I've been trying for so long, to understand what you just taught in a few minutes.
A Great teacher makes things simple, easy to remember, and pass on. You did exactly that! That was amazingly simple, how you taught that! Thank you so much!!!
I've watched quite a few videos on this subject, because I've been trying to understand, how Son Montuno players put together the progressions in Latin Jazz. You just unlocked a door for me, ... Thanks man!!! 🎶🤜🏽💥🤛🏻🎶
🙌🏽 Thanks for making my day!
Saved this vid and found your Channel. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶
So glad it helped! Welcome to the party!
I checked my ego and 6-gun at the door and I learned something here. Thanks for the lesson. :-) I also learned on another video how a Major and Minor are determined. 2 over 1-1/2 (maj) vs 1-1/2 over 2 (min). NOW I get it. Now - if I could just play my guitar.
Muse! :P
I’m quite a bit older and in much better shape than you Joe!!
I have been watching your videos for at least a couple years now. I am so thankful to have found this particular video today. I had about five a-ha moments just now. Thank you so much.
Its so simple. Thank you.
I was following along perfect until 3:30 then I seen blue and got side tracked.
It's pretty distracting
the way he talks almost gave me a stroke.. solid vid though
example: word-a
eric clapton video is very fast, but good stuff!
I see the light. Dude this was so kool. Thanks
Thank you , I tr y to learn this for more than 2 years. Thanks to you I've got it. Right now. Awesome 👌
Very confusing..😢
Stick with it! You'll get it eventually. It took me trying like 100 times before I understood. It'll come.
Jeetu Fares You'll get there. 🙇
Sean Daniel after one month I understood... Love from india....
i know im 6 months late but whats confusing you?
settle down, BlackDoge
Sean, where have you been all my guitar learning life ?!?! Thanks for deciphering the seemingly mystical. BTW, maybe the facial hair will come when you hit 30, nice try though
Haha, thanks man! I'm working on it :)
Just yanking the chain bro, thanks again.
Been playing on and off for 7 years (starting in childhood) and I always hated theory. I basically stopped playing guitar for ~2 years and picked up piano. Still never wanted to lesrn theory, but about 2 years into playing I gave it a go out of my own free will instead of having a teacher tell me I needed too.
Boy did I not realise how much fun it is!! I love knowing how music is made and it's just soooo helpful! I'm trying to dip my toes into guitar theory and already love it!
This video just helped me a lot. Thanks!
