It may be patterns to remember from all of the other guitar teachers on YT but Mike answers the question of WHY these patterns exist and how they relate to one another. The others may work but with this instruction we have the WHY they do. We learn melody and harmony and disodence. In music, there is a conversation happening, one set of notes speaking with a pause between and another series of notes speaking back. Listening to Peter Frampton in Do You Feel Like We Do is a perfect illustration of that musical conversation. Once I learned that, writing became so much easier. The other lesson was, when we speak, we breathe. Leaving a space between chords played give more life to a song. Which reminds me of that saying, " less is more ".
@@mikegeorge360 Thanks so much for your amazing videos. I have also been watching Gracie Terzian's music theory videos and I think that between your videos and hers one can easily learn everything there is to know about music theory.
I had to pause in the middle of the video to say oh my Gosh - This is the best video on music theory ever. I am definitely subscribing. Finally, someone teaching this stuff visually and auditorially, and specifically for guitar no less… your visuals are great,. Thank you!
I am beginning to understand. I had a sneaking suspicion there was a reasonable sanity to music theory. It just wouldn’t click into place but it’s starting to. I’m learning and I’m excited instead of intimidated. My question has always been “okay but WHY” you explain the WHY. You are the best!
Great video. How would i go about purchasing the the letters like you have on your guitar fretboard? That is cool and i can see how useful they eould be? Thanks!
Interesting. I always thought of chords based on intervals relative to the root. Thinking of a chords as sequence of intervals gives a new perspective. What kind of software do you use to create your animations?
Awesome. Yes, the relationships between all notes in a chord beyond the root shed light on the construction. I use a few apps in the Adobe creative suite. 🤘
Is there a chord type that only uses the 1st and the 3rd notes and neglects the 5th? I quite like the sound of just plucking the 1st and 3rd on adjacent strings but haven’t seen it done as a ‘chord’ across all 6 strings. If that’s even possible…?
Great to see instructors who cut through all the overcomplication with simplicity. One of the best.
Thank you -- I'm so glad this helps.

You are one "GREAT" Instructor, seriously!!! You make things that have always been baffling to us made simple! Thank you.
Very cool -- I'm glad this makes sense. (And thank you for your feedback!) Cheers.

It's mind blowing that there isn't a video that explains chords better on youtube, and it only has 5k views
This really made something click for me. Love the circle-illustration together with the colored fretboard illustration. Ty.
A lot of information, but very clear and concise. Thanks for posting
Cheers.
Cool! Thanks!
This channel should have way more views, likes, and subscribers. So glad he is still making content.

Finally I understand better. I am. beginner player. I need you tutor on sharps and flats
This guy knows his chords! And because of him, I know more about chords.
Cheers!
The visual aids and the progression of the contents are simply superb
Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇 Mike.

@@mikegeorge360 np 😉 Mike.

Omgggg! thank you !!! So visual!!

Hello Mike,
I am a new subscriber.
Oh, this was great. I have seen so many videos that just sound like gobbledygook, because they have never just done these basic rules. Thank you.
Algorithim, I liked it a lot.
Thank you!
Thanks Mike, you are the best music theory teacher on RUclips. Have yourself a like and a sub :)
So happy you are here, Matthew -- cheers!
Great video.

Two note chords or intervals are called diads.
what sticky notes are you using on your guitar sir?
❤
Are the augmented chords diatonic?
Why does G# aug fit in the C major / A minor key?
An augmented chord is just your 5th note raised by half a step. So a C chord is C, E, G. If you raise the G to G# it's now C augmented.
umbilical..spinal..power..guitar..
God this is so much easier on the keyboard..
If that's not confusing for a beginer, I don't know what is.
