This got pretty nerdy. Check Guitar Super System if you need any extra info: bit.ly/G1SS1av. Thumbs up if you're excited about my free jazz course, coming in Spring 2017!
GuyNamedSean learning on piano? in my music theory course we learned the basics then cadences and how to voice chords and Learning proper voicing and what cadence is each bar of chords. like a 5 or 5/7 chord(g chord in the key of C) to a 1 chord (C chord in the key of C) and depending on how its voiced it would be a perfect authentic cadence(root position, with the root note in the soprano), imperfect authentic cadence(root position but its usually a 5/7 being voiced) or authentic cadence(a 5/7, 5:6/4, 5:3/4, 5/2 nothing that can be in root position but is still a 5 chord to a 1 chord. then of course the easy, rhythmic dictation and melodic dictation, intervals scale patterns.
Ryan Compton Yeah, it was taught on piano. I never was any good at piano so I just immediately applied it to whatever other instruments I could, be it trumpet or drums or now bass.
As someone who got into playing guitar by listening to metal, I've got to say, I find guitar players like you (and John Mayer, and Mark Knopfler, and classical and jazz guitar players) far more more impressive than metal players like Dave Mustaine and Kerry King. The solos in metal are indeed very complex and it takes a lot of practice to be able to solo. However, the rhythm sections consist mostly of running through single notes and playing diads. That reminds me of how little children try playing things like the jingle bells tune on a single string on the guitar. A lot of popular metal’s like that, just a lot faster. Compare that to good acoustic music, or classical/jazz guitarists, or guys like Sungha Jung, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler etc. who play complex chord structures, arpeggiated chords, fingerpick and basically play the guitar like a piano. Your chord videos are interesting.
I did. He seems more like a "running through single notes/scales" kind of guy. The kind of player I'm not interested in. They're a dime a dozen. I'm looking more for a "chords, arpeggiated chords, interesting and unusual chord progressions" kind of players.
As with most genres, there is good, and there is bad, and of course people in-between. However in general i agree with you. To be fair the heavy distortion doesn't really lend itself well to complex chords. Which is why most metal is nothing but power chords and single note melodies. Surprisingly i find the best metal guitarists are usually in the black metal realm, It's one of the only subgenres that actually uses complex chords often. And obviously progressive metal.
Can you give me the names of some complex chord playing metal bands? I know of Opeth's Damnation album (a purely acoustic album) which is a classic. It contains some very unusual chord structures and arpeggiated chords. Also some great non-metal artists which satisfy the criteria I described above.
ink bottle If you analize the solos in "Rust in Peace" (Megadeth)you will find some very interesting arpegios with some really complex harmony involved even with just Power chords.
ink bottle Metal is not about chords. its more about arrengment. for exemple those guitar riffs with guitars doing the counterpoint. check out the song ride the lightining by Metallica, in the triad part of the solo, there is chomatic Power chords being played and the solo is doing the triads of the Power chords, so If you analize the whole harmony together, goes like this: Am7 Gmaj7 Gm7 A then repeats. so ends up with a complex harmony that modulates and all of that.
Thanks man! I'm a big band composer who painted himself into a corner by writing a sort of hip hop piece. I had no idea what to have the guitar player doing, but now things are much more clear. Keep up the good work!
There's a dude that plays the exact same style as in this video, his name is Kerry Marshall Jr. and his channel is awesome! Sometimes he gives some insights into his playing, but most of his videos are practice sessions or other ideas...
Nice. I recognized Jeff's progression immediately. I'm trying to figure out how to get reasonably realistic guitar performances in midi with amplesound plug ins. Content like this will help a lot. Cheers sir.
i Really barely Comment on RUclips, because normally its not that informative if you already have some Knowledge, and it gets to frustrating to get through 10 minutes where an instructor goes through every fret of an open c or g major chord 10 times, but this one is spot on!
Thanks for recommending Jeff Schneider, awesome channel as well! Is this part of the jazz videos I voted against? Cause man tis video was awesome and definitely broadens the horizon or rock players.
This is great. Articulated the key parts to this style of guitar very well. For sure sending this as a reference to some friends. Keep the theory included as well. Very helpful.
Very cool dude. Could you explain why the Gm11 acts as a sub for the C#m? they don't have the same function in B major... actually G isn't even in the B major scale :\ I don't understand that one
No problem! You're correct, that G definitely isn't in the key of BMaj. Basically, what's going on here is the Gmin chord is acting as a substitution for the ii chord of BMaj, which would have been C#min if I stuck to diatonic chords. G is a tritone away from C#, so this is executing what is called a tritone substitution, which is a great way to sound more... "mature" in your chord progression writing. The tritone substitution is one of the most common substitutions found in jazz. Hope that makes sense!
But tritone substitution make sense only if the two chords are dominant, cause they still share the triton made by the maj third and the minor seventh, but in this case, there is no obvious link beetween the IImin and the VIbmin. So what you're doing Tyler sound really hip, but not for the same reason as triton substitution do. I think the voicing have a huge role here, the minor third of the Gm11 is shared with the next chord, and the fondamental and fifth are doing a nice descending chromatic moovement, which feel pretty smooth, even if we are not thinking about scale.
Nice! just want to clarify that you cant use a Ebm9 in a B major tonality. Since its a phrygian chord you need to have a flat 9 to the Eb. Works in a B lydian and since this chord progression lack a "home tonality sound" it works. Just be aware! I dont want to get alot of youngsters in the future that doesnt respect the noble sound of a flat 9! //cheers and keep up the good work!
So cool. I was this close to pausing and posting a rude comment about how you stole that progression from Jeff until you mentioned you learned from him too! That guy has an awesome channel for anyone who wants to learn about some really interesting jazz/neo-soul/hip hop chord progressions and theory, it can be tough sometimes for me to apply it to guitar but the knowledge is useful!
Can you link the video where Jeff talk about this change? I don't remember seeing it, and would love to see his opinion about this chord progression :)
Heya almighty guitar god, are you ever gonna do a lesson on funk? I would love to learn some basic techniques and useful chords for funk, and of course hear you play with them. Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude ;)
Really loved the lesson. Learnt a lot. Quick question though, I really don't enjoy using my fingers instead of a pick. Is this something that I will learn to enjoy later on or is it simply something you like doing from the start.
You can always learn. I think every guitar player should be able to play with a pick and their fingers. What happens when you lose all your picks (happens to me once per hour)
2:12 what do you mean those roots don't sound great? They sound amazing it's more interesting to hear then to hear I, IV, V or any combo of I, IV, V or any other progression that will just come naturally with almost no thought or hesitation like I, V, mVI, IV. This is good to hear @music is win
1st of all great video, loved the groove in it. I have a question that I hope to get your expertise in it. I am naturally left handed but I learned guitar like a right handed. having reached a bottleneck in terms of techniques, do you think I should practice more like I'm doing at this moment, shift to a left handed guitar or do both at the same time?

Music is Win awesome. if you could do a whole series of neo soul type of chords , would be awesome

The little things Tyler does
@Day One Mastering stop liking your own comments bro
Pog
Jeff Schneider is seriously one of the best RUclipsrs for jazz and soul harmony and theory
Tom Misch
He's so goood
His signature
Tom Misch is dope. This actually reminds me of Soulive, big time.
I love Jeff Schneider!!
hahaha you are very well informed my friend!
Who doesn't
Eamon Pearson lol
i've always tried to learn guitar, but the beginning seemed so slow, and frustrating
Keep going. The difficult things are the ones that are worth doing and youll be more satisfied in the long term
They don’t get it but we do
Ace Dragon but then I found youisician
@@fiero9446 We do
This has me dead😂
why bother with this, when Youisican is the best way to learn and master the guitar?
Oisin McPhillips Truly.
Clear sarcasm
Edward Smith ...
I really hope this is sarcasm...
Alex Ferguson it's because of all those ads

I've been searching RUclips forever trying to find lessons for neosoul guitar. NO ONE is teaching this! Thx!
Sounds good to me! :)
I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online ?
@Major Jason Meh lately I've been using flixportal. Just google after it =) -pablo
@Pablo Aydin Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Major Jason no problem xD
There's a dude that plays the exact same style as in this video, his name is Kerry Marshall Jr. and his channel is awesome! Sometimes he gives some insights into his playing, but most of his videos are practice sessions or other ideas...
I've seen the guy's videos before. He's a great, soulful player. His R&B chord videos are superb.
ink bottle He's awesome, I bought his sounds live course, it's $30 but it is totally worth it. It goes into so much detail
lucahats dang I've been holding out on getting it. Now I need to.
Kerry is an amazing teacher
I really don't have much affinity for hiphop, but this makes a change when you connect it this way.
"...inspiration from Jeff Schneider..."
*steals chord progression and rhythm*
Pretty sure you never demonstrated what the fourth chord that comes after the 2-5-1 was. For those confused, its 12-11-11-11-X-X. An E6Add9 chord.
ive been waiting on this. im doing the super system for sure now.
If you're here check out Tom Misch
one of the best videos ive seen on youtube for guitar been waiting for something like this for ages
After hearing that intro, I was just about to mention Jeff Schneider. Amazing musician
Nice. I recognized Jeff's progression immediately. I'm trying to figure out how to get reasonably realistic guitar performances in midi with amplesound plug ins. Content like this will help a lot. Cheers sir.
Dude I love Jeff Schineder
i Really barely Comment on RUclips, because normally its not that informative if you already have some Knowledge, and it gets to frustrating to get through 10 minutes where an instructor goes through every fret of an open c or g major chord 10 times, but this one is spot on!
Hey! You need to link to Jeff Schnieder. It's his song.
This was a killer lesson, thanks! It sounds kind of like early 90s acid jazz IMO. Good stuff. Rock on.
That was super smooth and sounded great for 90s rap. The best.
I keep coming back to watch more of your videos- they're very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for recommending Jeff Schneider, awesome channel as well! Is this part of the jazz videos I voted against? Cause man tis video was awesome and definitely broadens the horizon or rock players.
This is exactly what I've been looking for, just signed up for you course and excited to get some more jazz elements in my playing.
Loved this lesson. Thanks again for all your effort and pouring out into the guitar community!
Your videos are always so helpful! Thanks for keeping them going! Aloha!
A great perspective and application of theory with the emphasis on rhythm, the fundamental of all fundamentals.
This is great. Articulated the key parts to this style of guitar very well. For sure sending this as a reference to some friends. Keep the theory included as well. Very helpful.
thank you!!!!!!!!!! this is a style/genre that doesnt get a lot of love when it comes to guitar.
This the first guitar-youtube-channel where I can say MAN I CAN LEARN FROM YOU!!!
Very cool dude. Could you explain why the Gm11 acts as a sub for the C#m? they don't have the same function in B major... actually G isn't even in the B major scale :\ I don't understand that one

The tritone substitution is one of the most common substitutions found in jazz. Hope that makes sense!
Much obliged. Thanks :)
Music is Win How can the progression be in the Key of B major and the II chord is also B major? Either you just misspoke or I'm not understanding.
kdrake777 the II OF BMaj.
But tritone substitution make sense only if the two chords are dominant, cause they still share the triton made by the maj third and the minor seventh, but in this case, there is no obvious link beetween the IImin and the VIbmin.

Dear Sir, thank you for this video! Hip hop guitar theory has been elusive for me. Please, please follow up with a tutorial on modal interchange.
Love the smoothness. More, more...
Usually John Mayer does this type of stuff's, it really sounds great and those chords give an extraordinary feel to the rhythm. #Thumps_up_Tyler
this guitar lesson is actually useful usually you just say a big idea and click bait but do not show examples. do more of these
Great stuff man! Thanks for sharing!
Nice! just want to clarify that you cant use a Ebm9 in a B major tonality. Since its a phrygian chord you need to have a flat 9 to the Eb. Works in a B lydian and since this chord progression lack a "home tonality sound" it works. Just be aware! I dont want to get alot of youngsters in the future that doesnt respect the noble sound of a flat 9! //cheers and keep up the good work!
Very cool. A new genre of guitar. Nice playing.
Jeff Schineder is the man.
Very good video. Could you explain which relationship there is between C#-7 (II- of B scale) and G-11? Thanks
So cool. I was this close to pausing and posting a rude comment about how you stole that progression from Jeff until you mentioned you learned from him too! That guy has an awesome channel for anyone who wants to learn about some really interesting jazz/neo-soul/hip hop chord progressions and theory, it can be tough sometimes for me to apply it to guitar but the knowledge is useful!
Can you link the video where Jeff talk about this change? I don't remember seeing it, and would love to see his opinion about this chord progression :)
Awyeah more of these jazz r&b please!!! So nice :)
man that has a nice lofi vibe perfect for me
Please make more hip hop guitar stuff !!!!!! I love your content man
The sec you name-dropped Jeff Schnyder you earned an instant sub!!
awesome!! been waiting on video like this for a long time!
Man i love those chords
Cool! Kind of reminds me of Hiatus Kaiyote.
"a lot of stuff is all about rhythm"- amen brother
You're doing great things.
Super lesson!
Heya almighty guitar god, are you ever gonna do a lesson on funk? I would love to learn some basic techniques and useful chords for funk, and of course hear you play with them. Keep up the good work, you're amazing dude ;)
Moving on and getting Neo Soul under my belt
This is way cool! And very catchy! I'm gonna learn this!
Really loved the lesson. Learnt a lot. Quick question though, I really don't enjoy using my fingers instead of a pick. Is this something that I will learn to enjoy later on or is it simply something you like doing from the start.
You can always learn. I think every guitar player should be able to play with a pick and their fingers. What happens when you lose all your picks (happens to me once per hour)
EVERYTHING I NEEDED
listen to chon for jazzy chill
Zeta Nitra sounds like chon
2:12 what do you mean those roots don't sound great? They sound amazing it's more interesting to hear then to hear I, IV, V or any combo of I, IV, V or any other progression that will just come naturally with almost no thought or hesitation like I, V, mVI, IV. This is good to hear @music is win
Great lesson. Really inspires me to produce more jazzy beats in my DAW (despite my limited knowledge of jazz theory) 😂
Cool tips! Thanks
The first chord is the "Mr. would you please help my pony?...by Ween" chord. Nice...
Jeff Schneider is actually a sax player
Yay, I can now play jazzy Macy's Christmas music
You should be writing for Deangelo. Sounds great!
I found myself beatboxing along haha. Great video!
i love your guitar... its reallyyyy good
Pretty cool lesson! Thanks!
Please, please, please do more videos like this one
More on this genre please!
@11:02 when shorty asks whats good for tonight
This was fantastic, thank you!!
This was a cool lesson. Thanks
Nice tutorial! I am not very good so this is REALLY hard for me but it is amazing!!!
1st of all great video, loved the groove in it. I have a question that I hope to get your expertise in it. I am naturally left handed but I learned guitar like a right handed. having reached a bottleneck in terms of techniques, do you think I should practice more like I'm doing at this moment, shift to a left handed guitar or do both at the same time?
This guy came from out of nowhere for me, but damn his shit is on point!
more of these videos please!!
this is so helpful thank you!!!!
Reminds me of the Lettuce song Break Out.
that was a SICK ASS intro

Nice work
WaoO dude you have the Sonzera tube head n cabinet ...maybe you could make a review on this amazing piece of gear
Awesome vid
cool, can I cover this song now? love it
super cool intro dude, great video
I need more of this D:
Hi Tyler,
Love your videos! I was just wondering, what string guage do you use?
Thanks!
-Will
As a new guitarist what plucking technique do you suggest for playing hip-hop & neo-soul guitar; fingers (Travis) or plectrum?
Sounds like some John Mayer stuff. Very nice.
Is it just me or does this really sound a lot like Eric Krasno/Soulive. Awesome!
Nice Prs single-cut.
Ah yes, the guitars greatest prophet
this is cool thanks for the video
perfect tutorial
thx bro
Why taking Jeffs chords and music without a link in your description? I mean, I also use his stuff but I always put his channel in my discretion.
Great Lesson Cuz! 👍🏽
I knew I recognized those chords.. then you mentioned Jeff Schneider and I knew for sure I'd learned these from him on the keys first lol
