My man, you've been teaching me guitar for nearly a decade now, and this finally caused my brain to blow up (in a good way!). I'm a math-inclined type, so these types of lessons REALLY help. Rock on.
My mind is actually blown just for the fact that I’m always trying to figure out the notes for the diminished chords for whatever key I’m in. Now I’ll always remember 1.5, 1.5. Whoa!
there’s also a formula i learned for the major called the 1-4-3. start on a note, C, go up 4 semitones, E, go up 3 semitones, G. minor is 1-3-4. a little simpler for me but the diminished tips help a lot 🙏🏻
Wow. Chords finally explained. I get it. Coming from clarinet and one note at a time, this is sinking in well. We think alike. I love the math explanation. Much more sense than "it just sounds good this way".
Man, great video, I'm coming up on 4 months of this adventure into learning guitar and so glad I found your RUclips videos and of course your course (went to pro version almost right away). You da man! Thanks!
love the whiteboard. would have liked to see the triad built out on the "strings" to tie it all together. use a red marker and "connect the dots" from the scale to the triad.
Thanks a lot, Erich. This helps a lot in learning it, instead of only memorising it. Can you please explain the Minor scale and chord progression similarly? ( You touched on it very briefly in this video, but a full video on it will help a lot) Thank you for all your efforts. You rock.. 🤘🏼
This was entirely useful information. It took me ages to stumble onto the same thing. This is seriously so valuable and i hope folks catch that and benefit from it, because damn! These sort of lessons are amazingly helpful. Thank you!
Nice job, Erich. Now I get the difference between a minor and diminished chord. I watched almost all of your 30 Day Guitar Challenge. I really like this format better. You have been a big help in demystifying basic Music Theory for me. TY. Would you consider doing a segment on movable three note chords on strings 1-3 that are commonly used in popular music?
(Chord - 3 Notes) The 1st 3rd 5th notes of the pattern. I (Major) 1 3 5. ii (Minor) 2 4 6. iii (Minor) 3 5 7. IV (Major) 4 6 1(8). V (Major) 5 7 2. vi (Minor) 6 1 3. vii* (Diminished) 7 2 4. The W W H W W W H pattern is the same. You just roll off to the next number (note) as the starting point for your 1 3 5 in the key. C MAJOR (I Cmaj - C E G) (ii Dmin - D F A) (iii Emin- E G B) (V Gmaj- G B D) (vi Amin - A C E), etc.
This was great Erich! It’s good to have a visual on the fretboard. I’ve know this for some time, but I still learned something that you made click in to place! Seeing the 1.5 interval. For some reason I never thought of the minor interval as a 1.5- duh 😊. Now I get why a major chord is a major interval over a minor interval and a minor chord is a minor interval over a major interval. Basically when you wrote it down it clicked! Awesome! Thank you, sir for putting out content that helps the community. Rock! ?UPDATES ON THE PEDAL AND GUITAR? Did I miss the updates?
Diatonic: adjective noting those scales that contain five whole tones and two semitones, as the major, minor, and certain modal scales. of or relating to the tones, intervals, or harmonies of such scales.
I have to ask... because you've played so many different guitars over the years...is an SJ 200 worth having? Played Taylor's, Martin's, will that Gibson make much of a difference? Yeah...not getting it. Definitely missing basics.
I understood EVERY single thing you said... still have no idea WHAT you're teaching me. What did I just learn? What kind of chord to play wiiiithhh... what? Ok cool, the first chord would be a major. The second chord would be a minor etc.. but for what? To play along with a scale? What was the point of this?
How do you get the most bang for your buck with your data plan? Watch Erich Andreas talk about guitar/music. Side effects may include feeling guilty while using data mindlessly.

Thank you. I know you put a lot of work into presenting these. You are a good teacher.
My mind is actually blown just for the fact that I’m always trying to figure out the notes for the diminished chords for whatever key I’m in. Now I’ll always remember 1.5, 1.5. Whoa!
Cant thank you enough for the love you show us in our joy of guitar
Whoa! The pieces of the puzzle are rapidly coming together! That was awesome! There might be hope for this old guy yet!

Erich! This video connected a lot of mental dots for me! Light bulb moments for sure! Thank you and keep the great lessons coming!
Oooh, so that's where the Nashville numbering system comes from! Helps a lot. Thank you❤.

Another great lesson, I appreciate your dedication to teaching these critical basics. It is much easier to see on a piano keyboard.
Brilliant as usual. Many thanks Uk

Good video Erich thanks!
Already knew this but this was a much better way to explain it than how I learned, thanks!
We don’t deserve you Eric lol you rock man! You’ve helped my playing so much I can not thank you enough
👊🏻🙏

Excellent lesson. Thank you!
ii x iii = vi is how I remember my major minors on the fly.

I understood the W W H W W W H but the rest was about as clear as Mud
Great explanation.
Such a great explanation of chord construction! I have a (probably silly) question: Why is the low E not played in the open A major chord?
Diatonic: adjective
noting those scales that contain five whole tones and two semitones, as the major, minor, and certain modal scales.
of or relating to the tones, intervals, or harmonies of such scales.
That was a good lesson.
🚩Ooo! Soo Close to Grabbing it! My brain wasn't ready Good lesson though.. I'll catch it. Thanks did make sense
Major (excuse the pun) lightbulb moment yet again - thank you!
..Yeah this is definitely a more technical channel. I like that, my theory is pretty weak.
Clear as mustard
I understand it.
I use the mnemonic "What Was Harry Wearing When Wendel Hurled" to memorize this, and then "When Wendel Was Hurling, Where Was Harry?"
Oh yea thanks
I didn't understood that timer... 🤔
Under 10 minutes.
10:58 haha..
To think you would have to explain everything again 😂
I have to ask... because you've played so many different guitars over the years...is an SJ 200 worth having? Played Taylor's, Martin's, will that Gibson make much of a difference?
Yeah...not getting it. Definitely missing basics.
What is the hurry?
No hurry, my friend. Just demonstrating how simple it can be and that it doesn't need to be overcomplicated.
Where do they come from where do they go
I have 5th grade classical music theory but at 4:52 you lost me. I also didn't hear the word diatonic.
I understood EVERY single thing you said... still have no idea WHAT you're teaching me. What did I just learn? What kind of chord to play wiiiithhh... what? Ok cool, the first chord would be a major. The second chord would be a minor etc.. but for what? To play along with a scale? What was the point of this?
It’s the construction of music. It’s how songs are constructed.
@@yourguitarsage chord progression?
soooo what does this mean?
More repeats than Dave or Drama channel......
How do you get the most bang for your buck with your data plan? Watch Erich Andreas talk about guitar/music. Side effects may include feeling guilty while using data mindlessly.
It's not mindless if you're learning something. That is a great bang for your bucks (as you said).
Diatonic just means a 7-note scale. 👍🏻
you lost me quick
