Bro, im one of those people being brought here after watching your video. 🤘👏
Thank you, brotha. If you are ever in Nashville, brotha…
Hey Erich I came over here to revisit this video as sort of a refresher after going thru my guitar papers from the last few years and as I'm sitting there I'm thinking to myself man I totally gotta write a note to this guy letting him know how much I appreciate not only everything he did for us subscribers during the pandemic shutdown showing up to teach people live for an hour or more for 30 days straight in April of 2020 which in itself was pretty damn special and generous but also just for being such a wonderful guitar teacher in general over the years to the point that whatever journey guitar playing takes me on you will be forever built into my foundation for not only playing but also for my love and enthusiasm for the instrument which you always demonstrated so superbly. Looks like this video is 2 years old so I don't even know if you're going to be seeing this anytime soon but hopefully you'll one day come around to it and feel the appreciation. Stay blessed my good man, and thank you. Peace🤙🏼
That's a very beautiful Gibson electric acoustic. Wow!
Thanks a lot. Really needed this video.
Great work. I appreciate the lessons.
Still trying to learn keys, scales and the associated chords. This helps - thanks for posting it. I wish I'd started learning music theory a long time ago. This is a nice lesson. I like your "think like a detective" motto.
Such great content! Thank you Erich! loved the video!
Ty for the video!! It was a great help brother!
Hi Erich and Team, i watch erich on youtube since 2010 and this is by far far far away best high quality video ever. The information is great, Erich is a really great pedagogue and teacher and you guys get him into the right spot. Im stunned 👏.
Greetings from Wiesbaden Germany
So kind! Thank you Harald. We have been working hard! 🙏
Always helpful, great teaching style so I signed up for the free 30!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Eric!
Big help mate thanks
So much information. Sometimes my brain feels so full but my fingers don't hurt. Been trying to get my fingers to be independent. Not an easy task but I love it so much and couldn't have asked for a better teacher. I'm so blessed.
I think Mick Jagger was playing that same model Gibson acoustic at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena last night.
Probably so. He can afford it. $4000.
cool thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
I saved this video because It has a lot of information and I will watch his video! Phillip Austin
Any examples you talk about would have been helpful. Thank You!
dude what's going on with TH-cam? Had I not manually searched your channel,I would not have seen that you had a new video.Iam subscribed,and have clicked the bell since day one.
I did'nt get a notification.
Boo! That is strange. I will keep an eye out for other comments.
Try turn off notification. Then refresh page. Then put notifications back on.
This guy really knows how to put his shoe on him/her that has the best interest of knowing this things.
I think this may be a compliment? 🤷♂️😜
Where do you find chord families that give keys?
Why does making a Dm make it key of C? But D major makes key of G?
What makes it G major or Gminor when your playing GCD?
I wake up in the key of A. I eat lunch and dinner in the key of D. I go to bed in the key of E minor. Why is that?
Don't get it dude...😶
Because you’ve got the blues, man.
your body is out of tune.
Here's what I do-see if you like this idea. Pick the A string and while listening to the song, starting at the first fret, work your way up until you find a pitch that feels like it works. Then, starting with this fret, skip a fret (whole step) and pick that tone, if this seems to work, then pick the very next fret (half-step) and see if this works too. If they all work then likely the key is 2 frets BEFORE the first tone that matched. So if the first match was D at the 5th fret, then the key is C. How this works-We are picking a pattern that corresponds to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degrees of the scale. This is a unique pattern that does not repeat in any other key, except the possibility exists that what you have identified is the 6th, 7th, and 8th of a key, so in this case the key would be the 4th degree pitch we identified above. To verify your choice is correct play the major scale based on what you identified and see if it works. It probably will, and you are on your way.
What’s the next step after you find the pattern of the song? Thanks
Figuring our the chord progression. There's a rule. Google will help
I want him to teach me how to play
But, G C and D appear in the Em key as well. How can you tell if you’re in key of G or E??
E minor is not E(major). E minor and G major or relative equivalents. Search, “yourguitarsage relative major”. 👍
Ladies and gentlemen... IT'S THE ERICH ANDREAS SHOWWWWW! AHHHHHHHH
Why m i finding it difficult 😢
Difficulty is your friend
It's really not that hard. Once you start practicing to play cover songs you will start to recognize chord progression patterns and be able to pick it up by ear.
Try learning to hear the sound of 4 to 5 resolving to 1. So for example in the key of G that would be C to D then resolving to G, then try to hear that with all keys. If you're playing 6th and 5th string root barre chords 1 - 4 - 5 kinda makes the shape of a knight move in chess, that's how I remember it.
@@RussellSyx
I've been playing for 35 years and I've never thought about a G, C, D or C, D, G as anything other than 3 chords with an opportunity to embellish, phrase and time them in many different ways.
In other words, if I'm not covering someone's tune, I am making up my own thing from the entire library of chords available.
Just learn them all, or most of them and when inspired, put them together until something sounds right or matches the music playing in your head.
But many of my fellow musicians think in terms more associated with theory and I'm not knocking that at all.
The suns not in the centre of the solar system mate
Oh no! What is then, my friend?
As if all songs are in one key only.
?
YourGuitarSage What don't you understand? If for example you look at the beginning of the song and the end of the song you might completely miss whatever number of key changes in between that happen within the song.
Because not every song is in one key only.
So once you think you have established the key you will have to look at the whole progression to see if the key is consistently the same. For example a seven chord can be used as a junction to change keys. You might use it as the fifth in one key and the one in the next.
@@wijk89 you're not wrong but it is pretty clear he is assuming one key for these guidelines. Pretty good place to start and anyway, relatively few songs have key changes. Very helpful and valuable tips in this video when you keep that simple and reasonable assumption in mind.
@@mcvicardotneil That assumption is a start. However whether or not key changes are common or not and what a key change actually is, seems to be a matter of opinion.
You might for example use the minor chords from a key in the verse and change to the major chords from that key in the chorus.
Maybe you don't consider that a key change so much, but the tonal centre will change.
I think it would have been a good idea to at least hint at the possibility that there might be a key change within the song.
To save beginning guitarists from frustration when the key they thought the song was in all of a sudden doesn't work anymore.
