Wow, going to take me awhile to dissect this lesson, but talk about a great way to tie scales, chords and modes all together in one lesson. Thanks Chris!
I cut myself off. I was saying that I try to support my RUclips teachers as I can. You continually hit it out of the park and I think I would enjoy your Studio community, so I’m going to join. Thank you.
You bet JG! And may I return the thanks and say you are a critical cog on the curious guitarist machine, I could not do all this without your steady and high-quality help!
Always great stuff! Thanks, Chris. A simple hack for anyone who knows basic triads, is to stack 2 chords on top of each other. Take F Lydian, from C key, take the F (FAC) and stack Em7 (EGBD) on top of it. Or, look at it as F arp, E arp, then D; FAC, EGB, D. I found this to make it very simple to quickly suss out the arp to 13.
I keep telling anyone who will listen, “ watch your videos!” Your way of teaching really speaks to me. Thank you! I’m only a year and a half in and I’m loving every frustrating moment! Respect and love from Maine!
I've been an ear player for 45 years, and this is the first/best video or book I've ever found that made sense out of the "numbers above 7" - WHY they have those names in chords (and not repeating 1-7), what they actually sound like, and plants the seeds of how to use them. I got more out of this than out of hundreds of hours of videos and will save me tons of frustration trying to understand video and printed explanations. Thank you. I wish this was around 40 years ago!
I would know so much less if it were not for you and the Studio, Chris. I could not function on guitar without the practical music theory you taught me here and in class. 🙌🏻
This is so helpful! I had this realization a few months ago and found the modes much easier to understand 🤯 not sure the website but i found a site that list what all modes contain each specific chords and that’s when it clicked
Took me a while to even getting around to watching this. But what I learned is… Lesson #1: Never procrastinate on watching a new Chris Sherland video. EVER. With that out of the way, I was just practicing harmonizing scales beyond 1-3-5 this evening, then it occurred to me to keep going till I arrived at the second octave. While my ears definitely liked what I heard, I didn’t fully recognize the significance of what was happening. Then this video pops up, and I started following along, counting 1 3 5 7 9 11 13, and… My head explodes yet again as yet another lightbulb flickers on. It’s absurd to only now be seeing what has been hiding right in front of me in plain sight on the fretboard! Now excuse me while I go grab myself a guitar and amuse myself by taking this 2-octave harmonization idea through the Modes. Killer lesson Chris!🙏
Ahh thanks Joe! Once you’re done with the modes, your challenge will be to do this with Harmonic Minor!!!!! So glad you clicked with this one, Joe, thanks for all your support!
Boy ohh Boy!!! Ya think think ya know it all as a guitarist and then BAMM!!!!.., Chris shows you another GREAT LESSON!!! and a real eyeopener! This really makes things open up as far as vocabulary AND! modes go!..., And I thought I really had good sight of the fretboard! I WILL NOW! Thank you sir! Another great one!
that was good info i spend hours trying to make chords to see what makes them tick.i have found different shapes of some of those chords this heips me make more sense of it .thank you much for the lessons.
Thanks Tim! These are the new pickups. It was a bear to get them in with Gibson's quick swap wiring, but the soldering iron made quick work of it after I got my head around what to do to bypass the system.
@@curiousguitarist Thank you for all that you do.. Really I meant the chordal connections .. Besides, your direct informative talk makes it more memorable and understandable 🙏🏻..
Great info, Chris. I use it mostly for chord-melody which is all I play, It's even easier to finger on the top four strings. They're all inversions because the melody note is on the first string. But it's great to practice with the tonic on the D string as well. Also a great tool to master the fretboard while practicing them with the tonic on the 5th and 6th(as you did). Nice lesson. Thnks.
um......so.......I am only 7 minutes and 10 seconds in and already having one of those "you're kidding me" moments you spoke of in your intro. Literally. Wrote it down in fact. Time stamped the moment my guitar and music theory learning quest had a major breakthrough....from @6:59 to @7:10. I almost want to just stop here for a beat or two and just...process. And maybe come back and finish the full lesson in full. I put in a lot of "trying to get this whole music theory thing" hours over the last two years. Sometimes pays off in little blips of clarity here and there. Learning some concepts can be like trying to learn a new language but all the books you read on the subject are in the language you're trying to learn. So then its like a puzzle, but always seem to be missing some pieces and unable to really *see it as a whole*. I have had the rudimentary knowledge to understand that 7th chords are four note chords and the expensive sounding chords give great clues to what they are if you know the scales...but yet I was still just missing something. Those 11 seconds just blew some stuff open....or made it seem readable all of a sudden.....hard to explain. Sorry. Incapable of short, succinct comments. I write like I speak and it only gets worse when I am super stoked about something. Be back in ....a bit. Oh god, and, thank you? Very much.
yeah, stop and process. In the world of YT we are encouraged to go fast. please take it slow and let the lights come on at their own pace!! So glad you're here 3mountaingirl!
@@curiousguitarist Slowing down is my hardest discipline after meditation. I'm a person that is happiest when working at 110%. But I've been handed an opportunity in the guise of a life-setback and really trying to get the most out of it. Much like this lesson. Trying to get thru multiple lessons in a given day yeilds lesser returns than digging as deeply as I can in to one. Something like that anyway...but thank you again.
OK, next day and 2nd time through. This time I stopped and backed up the video and studied it. Really helped me fill many gaps in my music theory understanding. Now, back to the blues. :-)
Another great video! I am not much of a user of “exotic” chords…but now I understand what they are!!!! As always - simple, clear, disciplined in not overloading us, but giving us enough to build on!!!!
I don’t even know what to say, I was brushing my teeth thinking about ‘weird’ chords before bed, I lay down, open RUclips and the first video is this… my mind is blown and also feels like it has been read somehow?
Another great video. I like how you bring everything back to the fretboard. Also it wasn’t obvious to me that two octaves will cover all of the notes in a scale.
Being a visual person, my ah ha was when I started to visualize the chord shapes within the scale shapes. I.e. the CAGED shapes within the minor and major. From there I learned my intervals and through messing around with shapes within those scales I discovered chords I never would have played by looking up the names alone.
I'm far too analytical for my own good so it took me a while to follow Zappa's age old advice. So I was stuck in that loop of only playing to the level of knowledge I had vs realizing the music theory is more about explaining why something sounds a certain way vs being hard set rules. Sometimes you just have to play and see what comes out, the explaination for why it sounds good can come later. Beato's analysis videos where he throws the, "now did the artist know the theory of why? Maybe not, but this is why it worked", type lines helped me too in that haha
The aha! Moment for me was realizing that the Amaj7 was just playing the C#min triad over the A root (which is clear when you think about the harmonization).
Boy Chris, that was meaty. It extended for me the harmonizing concept I took away from your scale sequencing offering. I hadn’t considered continued sequencing notes in thirds through the upper extensions. I notice that the thirds in the Ionian mode alternate between major and minor. Is that true of the other modes? I haven’t been through them yet. Applying this harmonization concept to the modes really brings it around for me. Thank you.
I’ve gained a great deal of knowledge and inspiration from your free content over the past year or so. I appreciate your work. I feel this way about several RUclips providers and I try to sprinkle my limited financial resources among would like to be part of the community that shares this perspective. I’m joining your studio.
Great question! They don’t alternate purely, the Ionian example is Maj , min, Maj, min, min, Maj, min. Each time you change the root or tonic, that pattern will shift. The underlying relationships do not change, just the point of reference.
Yo Chris I’m writing this comment before watching the whole video because I’m a dummy. I think the worst and most frustrating thing I ever did was to try to memorize shapes. When really I should have started at the ground level, learned all the inversion, then made my adjustments. Like, here’s a G7#5. Well if I know all the dominant inversions, just raise the 5th up. That was light bulb for me haha.
@@curiousguitarist Of course I watched it haha. Always do. I thought of something else that inversions did for me. Voice leading ideas, came so much easier. Like that G7#5. How can I make this sound cool going into C major 7. Well here’s a G7 voicing and the #5 runs right into the chord of C major 7. Whoa, if I raise the root up a half step, it’s a b9#5. All from basic inversions. It makes guitar so much more enjoyable when you’re not guessing haha.
difficult lesson for me chris, you connect chords with the mode scale. I learned this phrase: Every Good Band Disserves Fans And Cash. So in A that's ACEGBDF or R 3 5 7 9 11 13. You give me a totally different view.Harmonizing.
By doing it over the scale you don't need to worry about the note names initially, just the scale degrees. I always found it easier that way to move something through the keys with less stickyness.
I have huge respect for your teaching method, you explain a lot of important facts that most every other guitar teacher on youtube glosses over. However in this lesson youre leaving out important facts. For example by not showing tabs people wont be aware that these patterns stay the same for all 12 keys. This is what makes the guitar so much more powerful than the piano, you learn the scale/chord shapes in one key, then you automatically know them for all 12 keys compared to piano where you spend months learning scale shapes before you can start playing in all keys. And so the other thing youre leaving out is that you dont have to find chords by counting up from one key, you can access every chord from root in its own key because the pattern is the same for all keys. I get that you have to make money, but you dont mention the tabs are not a free download on patreon, that people have to subscribe on patreon to see this stuff. I think people would go on your patreon to get lesson material from you, but I dont think anyone is going on patreon just to access tabs to your youtube lessons.
Hello Mr. Chris/Sheridan great lesson. I have a question in regards to you going through the different modes. Are you using one universal pattern going through the scales starting on different notes or different patterns altogether? Thanks.
In this example, I'm only using the notes from the key of A. So starting and ending on each of the notes in this scale you must play a different fingering pattern for each position. A Ionian B Dorian C# Phrygian D Lydian E Mixolydian F# Aeolian G# Locrian
Yup, just got it off of Reverb, it’s a 2017 SG Special. I dropped a pair of Seymour Duncan pick ups in it as well. It really plays nicely, and in fact it might be the most comfortable guitar to play that I own.
Hey Hannah, That's a pretty deep question, but the chord names never change. That said, how we refer to them within a progression will definitely shift as we use chords to outline or support a more modal piece.

Thanks CAPerry! Happy to connect them with you here.
Wow, going to take me awhile to dissect this lesson, but talk about a great way to tie scales, chords and modes all together in one lesson. Thanks Chris!
Yeah I was planning this out to be just about extensions, and then when I started filming it I realized it ties SO much more together!

Chords,scales, arpeggios are all the same. That will be a wow moment when you understand that. And modes are just what notes you highlight!
The more I look at it, the more it becomes like the matrix, just all one big thing.

What are chords named when they are based in modes of a key, rather than based in their own scale?
Hey Hannah,
That's a pretty deep question, but the chord names never change. That said, how we refer to them within a progression will definitely shift as we use chords to outline or support a more modal piece.
