      if you want to hear a 5 minute plug and learn nothing about diminished chords watch this video

    Thanks man. Really wanted to learn how the major scale worked! It was hard to find this video though, since the title is entirely misleading

    Probably want to change this title to what are the notes in E Major 🤔

    Ummm...I think you forgot the one thing that I clicked on your stinkin’ video for.

    I really appreciate and see a lot of humor in how you stopped this video after explicitly explaining that an understanding of the e major scale would be required to continue. I literally back tracked my learning to understand it better. It was a good ole slap in the face! xD Any other video I might of carried on and got lost. Thanks!

      Besides the prerequisites. At least he had stated what a diminished chord was at the beginning. lol

  • @punkypinko2965
    @punkypinko2965 3 года назад +8

    His presentation starts at 2:48. That's half way through the video! And then all he does is explain the major scale and he NEVER explains diminished chords at all. WTF?
    I like he puts the cap back on each marker after every time he uses it, just to take it off one second later to use the marker again lol.
    Most useless video ever? Maybe. Why did youtube recommend this to me? Bizarre.

    You'd think that someone looking up how a diminished chord works would understand the major scales....

      Hi there! Yes of course, and this video is just the first setup video for a longer series all on diminished... www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/diminished-chords Give it a try! Hopefully you’ll find what you need.

    I watched the whole video and you didn't answer the question! Now I have to go watch some other video to actually get the answer? Well, where is that video? Is this video just bait to get people to buy lessons from some other website? It's fine to sell your service as a music teacher because you deserve to paid for your work. But that's not why I clicked the video! I went looking for a video precisely because I can't afford a teacher!! If this video is just a commercial for your other services, brand it as such so the rest of us who aren't going to buy don't waste our time!

      @@yga What a terrible excuse that is. Why does a 5-video series mean your video titles can't match the content of whats in them?

  • @bobbymcloughlin3452

    Diminished Triad = R b3 b5
    Half-Diminished Triad = R d2 b3
    Diminished Sixth = R b3 b5 bb6
    Diminished Tetrad = R b3 b5 bb7
    Diminished (Diatonic) Tetrad = R b3 b5 b7
    Half-Diminished Tetrad = R d2 b3 d4
    d = Half-Flats

    • @yga
      @yga  2 года назад

      Hi Bobby, the Diminished Triad and Tetrad are correct but the other chords aren't quite right. There is no use of half flats or a bb6. The Diminished (Diatonic) is only partly correct for is you were playing in a major key and is know more commonly as a half-diminished chord where the one with a bb7 is a fully diminished chord.

    • @bobbymcloughlin3452
      @bobbymcloughlin3452 2 года назад

      Half-Sharps & Half-Flats are Quarter-Note Accidentals

    • @bobbymcloughlin3452
      @bobbymcloughlin3452 2 года назад

      A Half-Diminished is a Quarter-Note Diminished Chord, Not m7b5, therefore m7b5 is Stacked with Minor Thirds so Therefore it is also a Fully Diminished Chord but with a Major Third on Top

    • @bobbymcloughlin3452
      @bobbymcloughlin3452 2 года назад

      bb7 is a Flattened Dominant 7
      b7 is a Flattened Major 7

    • @yga
      @yga  5 лет назад

      Hi Andrew! Good point well made! This is the first in a set of 5 videos talking in depth about the diminished chord, which is why the intro is a little slower. Apologies for that. Here is the full course for free: www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/diminished-chords

    • @punkypinko2965
      @punkypinko2965 3 года назад +2

      And then it doesn't actually "kick in" because he NEVER explains diminished chords at all. He explains the major scale in the key of E. Lol.

  • @nixneato
    @nixneato 6 лет назад +7

    Is this a joke? A least type "prerequisites" in the title, or something. But apparently you'd rather have a title that is 100% unrelated to the video itself. Way to go.

    • @yga
      @yga  6 лет назад

      Hi Nix, sorry you feel angry about the video - It was really designed as the first on a series, but we didn't think to apply any specifics to the title, sorry about that. You can find the whole series for free here: www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/diminished-chords Thanks Nix.

      @yga  3 года назад

      If you want a super quick answer, a diminished chord is Root 👏 b3 👏 b5! ( The b5 is the one here that really makes it diminished as if it was R b3 5 it would just be minor) Hope this answers your question a little more :)

      Hi there, sorry you didn't like it, but remember that this is the first lesson in a series of 5 that you can find here www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/diminished-chords In this lesson we set up the chord theory then we go into more specific diminished chord theory in the following lessons. Give them a try!
