It's funny how cultures will keep feeding each other's cultures back to one another. Japanese musicians definitely pulled this progression from Motown circa 1970-72. There are a bunch of examples I've found over the years but the first that comes to mind is Ain't No Mountain High Enough, which I especially like because when it goes from the IV chord to the V chord, the IV stays in the bass, creating a super bright extended Lydian chord. I'd also encourage players to experiment with taking the second half of that length of Am7 and using it to set up a secondary IIm7-V7 back to the IVmaj7 chord. (Gm7 C9 or tritone substitute the C9 for Gb7alt).
I’ve been writing riffs based around a particular chord progression for like 3 years trying to break away from it. Your channel has been really inspiring for me to get out of that box 📦 keep up the good work!
the inversion of chords that only used he highest 4 strings are what i call ukulele voicing cuz you play it the same way on that instrument as well, hey maybe someone should do a math rock song on just ukulele!
To add at the end of the final progression, I first heard a Gm7, that I would start at the 10th fret, but then I reconsidered the words "smooth change", and thought of a Bbmaj7/D starting at the 5th fret and 5th string - D, B♭, D, F, A or frets 5, 8, 7, 6, 5 shaped as a barre chord. That's my take.
the progression is still the IV - V - iii - vi so the Gm chord is the functional choice. But for the most smooth transition, I was thinking more about voice leading so using the smallest jumps between chords. Following that, I thought a Gm7/D (G minor 7 second inversion) works well. You could play that chord like this: x 5 5 3 6 x

One of my favorite progressions
Em7/B, wow what a cool chord.
Sweet idea for the inversions.
LUV THE CONTENT ❤💥💥mostly the explanations
thanks 🙌

That’s a last dinosaurs type chord progression. My favorite Australian / Japanese band
Reminded me of apollo
What a great lesson!!!
cheers 🙌

excellent! Thanks for sharing. I went with a Gm7/D (G minor 7 second inversion). On the guitar it would be: x 5 5 3 6 x
Gotta do a math rock cover of “those who fight further” now
A video about how to do riffs like tera melos (in their 2010-2018) would be cool!!!
never gonna give-
😂
answer for the question at the end! my personal choice would be a G9 chord because it adds a different flavor instead of the usual G minor chord
a spicy choice! nice 🙌
the best end is the Em7 chord but on the 5th fret😎
I've just paused it at 9:33
I'm thinking a Cmaj7 on the third fret, don't know if it fits into the scale. Would that be a Maj 2nd? ? ?

@@LetsTalkAboutMathRockI thought of x-10-8-10-8-x which might not be as smooth but has some extra flare
sir,what this guitar model?
Some kind of Jazzmaster, I think.
a partscaster. American Performer body, WD pickguard, pure vintage 65 pickups, and a vintera jazzmaster neck 👍
@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock oh,like mjt right?
@hxcovo9877 nope, from the Stratosphere ebay site 👍 the pickguard is custom made though by WD music
@@LetsTalkAboutMathRock thanks a lot
