    I've gotten a few of Jeff's courses from TrueFire over the past couple of years. He is an amazing teacher! Really knows how to break things down and demonstrate how they work. I wish we had teachers like him available when I was a teen in the 80s, frustratingly going through all those showoffs on video cassettes that played too fast and never explained anything. Haha

I'm working my way through them one at a time so as not to get overwhelmed. I totally agree with the posters here. I've had many "a-ha" moments as a result of your teaching.

    That was excellent, Jeff. The best note is at 12:01 when the 5 of A (E) goes to that flat 7 of F (Eb) and then sounds slightly tweaked sharp maybe with the whammy bar. The last note was the coolest. Bad to the bone!

    Funny, how when I started watching your videos, I would have to sit long and hard with them to really churn through all the information and make sure I understood it step by step. And now a couple years later, I can listen to your video with no guitar in hand, and follow right along, thinking oh yes, that makes sense and that makes sense and that makes all the sense in the world. It’s wonderful learning with you, pal.

    Great video Jeff! However, I need a better way to understand how to use it. Like, if I’m in a certain key, how do I apply it? I got lost trying to figure this out from the video. Any rule or example would be appreciated. I love the sound of the arpeggio. 😎 Thank you

    • @cygnals524
      @cygnals524 Год назад

      @joeltoste938 I can try to help for now. Using this only for Major Arpeggios & we only use this for the "I" (Root) chord & the 5th chord. So in the key of "C Major" The first chord is C Major & the 5th chord is G Major. If we are in the key of "G Major" then we are using "G Major" which is the 1st/Root chord & D Major which is the 5th chord. If we are in "D Major" We would use D Major which is the 1st/Root chord & D Major which is the 5th chord. I can only assume/guess which I am not a fan off but if you know all the keys and their notes you are fine but if you do not know all the keys & their notes you may want to take some time and learn/study the Circle of 5ths & Circle of 4ths which will teach you all the notes in each key & how to figure them out quickly. I have an acronym or 2 I use to help memorize the the order of Sharps & order of Flats which goes along with the Circle of 5ths & 4ths. If you already know this please disregard and maybe it will help out someone else who isn't familiar with this part of music theory. Knowing the formula to create chords helps as well. What I do when I am having trouble learning from a new video lesson I am watching is this, I watch the video over and over many times and write down notes in my own notebooks I create just for music notes. I also use a ruler to create 6 even lines and write out my own tablature. Jeff provides free tablature for this lesson but sometimes I may need to write out more to make things easier for me to learn and memorize. You can also slow down the video during any part that might be difficult to view or see & I even download the video to my drive at times if I really need to spend time going over it as this allows more options to make things easier. Keeping my own notebooks full of lessons I write out myself has been a tremendous help for me & I have at least 8 - 5 subject notebooks full of lessons and theory stuff I wrote out myself while watching video lessons or from reading, etc.... I also write out my own ideas and chord progressions & solo tabs I come up with while practicing. I didn't mean to write a mini novel but I hope this helped for now until Jeff has the time to reply to you. sometimes if I just watch a lesson video several times over and over it can start to make things click in and make sense. We can get a lot of info fast from videos which is awesome & I think I can forget how much info I am taking in during one or two lesson videos. Plus, writing things out does help me memorize things & has been a method many of us humans have used for centuries to help learn and supplement our studying process. Have a great day/evening & good luck! Also, @Jeff McErlain Thanks for an awesome free lesson. I am a new subscriber to your channel & you are such an excellent teacher I always learn things very easily from you. I also love passing on what others have so graciously taught me for free over the years & believe in giving back to others the same way others have done for me. I look forward to watching all the videos on your channel & the new lessons that will be coming out as well.

    @samstamos427 Год назад

    Fascinating instructional video Jeff.. 🖖 Of particular interest is how the common tones within the various chords change their intervallic relationship to the new tonic, beautiful harmony. One semantic curiosity; if our intervals in the wonderfully magical G arpeggio include "G,B,C, & D", would we not call it a Gadd4 arpeggio? A Gsus4 would suggest swapping out the C for the B, thus omitting the B? Or am I paralyzed because I analyzed? 🧐

    • @JeffMcErlain
      @JeffMcErlain  Год назад +1

      Hey Sam! I kinda floated around the best way to name it. Both work but, yes the add 4 is probably more correct and thanks! I kinda hear it as an ornament on the triad. But I believe technically you are correct. 👊🙌🏻

    • @Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard
      @Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard Год назад +1

    If I'm understanding this correctly Jeff, basically this arpeggio is built off the parent note of the key and then it work basically over every chord within that key? So like your first example was G-B-C-D from the key of G, then that could be played over G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F#dim and such just transpose for different keys? Thanks

    Jeff, sometimes when noodling around with simply strumming a chord progression, I find myself dropping in a sus 4 chord, I think this explains why it works or can fit in, would that be a fair assumption?

    So where's the free chart & backing track?

    That is a great sound, like a waterfall. I guess it works because the 4th of the V chord is the root, so it is diatonic.

    This phrase is not a magic panacea. It should be used very sparingly. That sus4-M3 lick can get very annoying. Perfect 4ths sound bad over a major scale. Sus2s sound really cool, too.

    But what if I already overuse this lick???? (Which is your fault!!!)
