NOTICE: I have distinguished major and minor chords by using 'M' and 'm'. So CM = C Major and Cm = C Minor. This got a lot of people confused, so I'll stick to the conventional transcription for chords next time.
using capital and lowercase is correct dont let ppl who havent studied theory tell u otherwise the notations in this video are great also this prog is sick did u write it urself and do u have discord?
Yall uhm.. both ways are TECHNICALLY correct, but M isn't used my many people, especially compared to maj, so if u wanna avoid any confusion and appear more professional, maj is the real "correct" way
Depends on what level you are musically. But if you're a beginner looking up tabs then CM is used more often to avoid any confusion especially when you get into Major 7 and other extension chords. Don't even get started on Majorminor chords 😂

@@doggyinthewindow Marty has said himself in demonstrations of this chord progression that it is Arigatou by Ikimonogakari. The song itself may not feature a guitar playing the same chords in the same voicings at the same rhythm as he does (he might play it in a different key too, haven't checked), but it is still the same chord progression.
It’s a basic 2-5-1 in the key of Am. They’re used absolutely everywhere in music, but if I had to mention one genre above all for this sound that would be jazz.
@@danilorg fr japanese 2 5 1s go hard. like the way i learned it was in a sorta fusion (half diminished, dominant, minor seven), but this one i honestly just like better
It's so beautiful bro, I see my life walking in my mind, it's not just melancholic, it's nostalgic, I feel like I've heard it a million times, but in fact it's because countless moments in my life match it perfectly. Thank you.
Tip for the chord transcriptions. For major chords just use the root note (ex C instead of CM) because otherwise people might confuse it for the minor version without thinking. I genuinely was confused at first seeing the major chord charts because my brain was used to an M only being present when the chord is minor and didn't realize for a good 10 seconds that capital M was intended to be major.
@miked5163 yes, but chord notations do not. Chord notation generally notates it as Maj or a triangle in the case of jazz notation, as it's much easier to differentiate from m for minor also you run into issues with mMaj7 chords because it'd be notated as mM7 which doesn't exactly pop off the page as well imo
@@SuperAmazingJared The problem would actually be with dominant 7th chords, as if you write M for major chords, you would write M7 for dominant 7th chords, and what will be for major 7th chords? MM7, Mmaj7? Or, instead use M7 for major 7th, and use Mdom7 for dominant? The only thing a capital M could mean in modern setting is maj7, and I've seen M7 used to denote it, which is okay with me. CmM7 is easy to understand, and even better than Cmmaj7.
Progression: I - V/vi sus4 - V/vi - vi- vi|V - IV - ii7 - IV maj7|V - I maj7 - viim7b5 - V/vi7b9 - vi9 - v - I - IV sus2 - IVmaj7 - iv - iii7 - vi9 - ii7 - IV maj7|V - I (V/vi also can be written as III)
@@BrianQuesta E minor is the iii of C, that's right, but the chord here is an E MAJOR, who doesn't fit in the scale of C. But, it fit in the scale of A minor, (the vi of C) that is the chord who comes right after this E major, also, E major is the V of A (vi of C, our original root), his dominant, that's why it's written as "dominant(V) of the six(vi)"
It's just an F major chord with a G in the bass resolving to C maj7 (he's using capital M to denote major which isn't a very popular notation method). It's like a V-I but with the softness of a IV-I.
@@venusasaboyYeah I was confused about that too. Usually you just write the chord key C, and it's automatically read as major. I only use the capital M to distinguish 7ths, 9ths, and other extensions from being major or minor
@@Juampi536This reply is a bit late, but Roman numerals (I, III, VI, etc) in music are used to describe chords, specifically which note of the key you're on. For example, the I chord in C major would have C as the root note, while the IV chord would have F as the root note (C=1, D=2, E=3, F=4). This notation is very useful because it shows the *relative* placement of the chord, not just the absolute note (like A major chord). The functionality of the chord is tied to its relative placement on the key; for example, the I chord will always sound resolved and satisfying, no matter if you're in the key of A major or E major.

Literally a basic progression that goes outside the key like once (with that Fm chord), I have no idea why would this sound Japanese. Marty does like Ab major though and he lives in Japan so the title is true to a degree.
This makes me happy and sad at the same time. I’ve been learning it for a little bit, and I wanted to ask how you keep a fast pace and change your fingers quick enough
It's giving crude play vibes from The Liar and His Lover - dunno why but the chord progression at the beginning is reminding me of Sayonara no Junbi, damn I'm a sucker for this type of songs TT
the 1st chord is Cmaj fyi edit: oh you put M for major and m for minor. got it. i usually see people put C for major and Cm for minor. this works fine tho. thx!

Am to Am/G then to F is always one of my favourite yet simple progressions.

"Strawberry Fields Forever" does something similar but different. The bass notes descend chromatically, going F Fmaj7 F7

Right, and in the case of major 7th chords, you should write it as Cmaj7 or C∆7
Typical theory uses capital for major/lowercase for minor

(V/vi also can be written as III)
Thank you so much brah 🙏
isnt the second chord a iii chord? where do you get the V? or the vi? E is the third in C major? just curious about your writing style...

The most interesting thing I find about this is the augmented chord at the end resolves to C Minor. Unexpected but quite satisfying
