What I most love about this is when Matty says " I'm Shit at playing guitar!" When he is totally great! It's always the best people that play down thier personal genius!
It’s good for a band to have a definitive approach to the songwriting, people often try an incorporate too much musical theory. What I’m getting from this is he’s using pedal tone (sorry musical jargon) put simply keeping a consistent note or couple of notes ringing all the way through and imply chord changes with bass notes. It’s very effective although not new. It creates a lot of tension which let’s face it is what the 1975 are all about! Great band great songs.
Hello! I'm from Argentina and a fan of The 1975. I like it when bands make these kinds of videos. I find it peculiar when Matty at minute 04:02 uses the D chord because it is very similar to a song by a band from here (Argentina). The name of the song is "Spaguetti del rock" by the band "Divididos". I hope some of you are interested as I am and share what I say, because music is interesting, you have to enjoy it and explore it. Greetings 😊
Hola! La razón por la que escuchas similar a Spaghetti del Rock y Robbers es porque ambas en sus versiones de estudio están en la tonalidad de Mi Mayor ( o E Major) y prácticamente tienen los mismos acordes, aunque la canción de divididos tenga una cantidad mayor de acordes. Espero que te haya servido este comentario! Mejor tarde que nunca 😄

as someone who's studied higher education for music theory and composition... there are hundreds of textbooks to teach you thousands of ways of saying exactly Healy just told you in 6 minutes. don't get too hung up on form and structure, feel the chords as they transform the music. another way too look at what Healy is saying- a simple flat chord is like a potato. good, yes....but there are dozens of ways to prep and cook a potato that still makes it a potato, but taste like something new. an A Major chord can be coloured and inverted in ways that keep it A Major, but with an entirely different sound.
Thanks for getting out of bed, to give us this lesson! I think this video is marvellous - someone who may not consider himself any kind of master - but being so loving that he becomes a Master! Love for the 1975…stay! 🙏🏽💔🙏🏻
Your awesome pal thank you for broadening my guitar horizon Its hard sometimes I just seem to get stuck playing regular old chords but I saw your video and it just showed another layer so big thanks 👍
did my heart stop beating when he started playing Medicine. Yes. Yes it did 😀 *goes back to watch how he plays it but then fails horribly at attempting it herself.
@@leroybrown5922 yeah thing is i play more radiohead shit but i dont actually like know wtf im playing most of the time in terms of what chords im playing if its a 7th chord or if its like Fmaj13 or something like that, i dont pay attention to all of that as much as i should.
I was not listening to a thing he said. Rather, I was entranced by his sweet face and gorgeous hair. I cannot wait for the songs Taylor will release in his honor! ❤
I mean, in terms of songwriting it’s perfectly legitimate advice to experiment with more creative chords than just always sticking with major & minor- and it’s good, creative composition that (even not knowing any musical terminology) he’s utilizing these chords. And to be fair, they’re fairly atypical- I’d have to go through & figure out exactly what notes he’s including to give it any kind of accurate chord label. However, I do want to say… There is good reason that there are standardized names for different types of chords… If you’re playing with a group of musicians & you say “Play an open E chord here,” they’re not going to know that you mean the chord he means. They’re going to play an E major chord in the open position (the fretting with fingers on the 1st & 2nd frets, because that’s the position where the E root note is the open 6th string). Generally the alternative to an open chord is simply playing the same chord, but in a movable shape somewhere up the neck, so that the root note isn’t an open string. Likewise, a suspended (sus) chord is also a specific type of chord- and to be fair to him, in this case, it just so happens that the chord he played really was a suspended chord (Asus2), because Asus2 can be played at the 5th fret as he showed or it can be played at the open position as 0-0-2-2-0-0. So that’s fine. However, again this illustrates why music theory is important, & why understanding the meaning of the chord names matters… Because the way he taught it, it makes it sound like if you want a suspended chord, all you have to do is play the root, 3rd, & 5th intervals (a power chord) but leave the rest of the strings open… But that’s definitely not the case. That happens to work out with a couple of particular cases, but because the notes you’re playing in a power chord change depending on the fret you’re playing it at, but the open strings stay the same, at most positions the open strings will have a much more dissonant relationship with the ones you’re fingering in the power chord. That’s not to say you can still use them if they fit & serve a purpose in a chord progression- dissonance isn’t a BAD thing- it just has to be used with care (even a suspended chord, as nice as it sounds, has some tension, which is why it resolves so nicely when you go from sus2 or sus4 to the major form of that same chord… But regardless, it definitely won’t be a suspended chord if you play 6-8-8-7-0-0, with the root at A#, or 4-6-6-5-0-0, with the root at G#, instead of placing the root at A. And it won’t sound nearly as good, unless you resolve it properly, which also takes some theory to learn how to do, to understand your options. Whereas, if you just understand what a suspended or sus2 chord is, if you learn how to build it from any chord regardless of where you’re playing it because you actually understand the relationships between the notes/intervals, then you won’t have to rely on heuristics that will fail, because they aren’t always true, like “Let’s just say leaving the top strings open is a suspended chord.” I mean, I’m happy for Healy that he’s found a group where he can get away with that & they’ll tolerate his inability to communicate his chord choices properly. Nothing necessarily wrong with his songwriting. But (a) it would still save him time overall if he had some theoretical grounding so he didn’t have to use trial & error every single time. And (b) especially if you’re going to teach this stuff to others, you really should know enough to teach it the right way… lol some poor kid is probably going to embarrass themselves because they go around thinking that a suspended chord is just when you leave the top strings open, or thinking “open chord” means the same thing as “suspended chord…”
How does he get that acoustic guitar sound? What guitar is he using, and any specific tricks anyone knows on how he's getting the acoustic sound he does?
basically, he uses a suspended second chord in every song ever, and adds in a bass line with spare fingers. if you google suspended second chords you'll find a load of them you can use to sound just like the 1975. the open ones (which you correctly identified as not barre chords) are his favourite, and they sound the best on acoustic guitars
This guy sounds like he just woke up drunk. He is also not using any kind of common terminology--an A with the E and B strings open is not an "open A". It's a Aadd9.
I've watched this video dozens of times and I still don't get it.. Is there a typical type of chords he uses in every song or a typical style of playing? Can someone explain? I'm a beginner so I don't know much
Your music ear might not be developed enough to hear the transitions. There’s no “typical” style or chords or playing. He’s just demonstrating that a majority of his music incorporates chords to let open strings within the key to ring out. Rather than just playing simple barre chords, he lets other notes ring out if it works to add extensions that sound good.
@@userdeleted4723 yeah I figured that out but I was wondering if there was some kind of system which he uses often. If you get what I'm trying to say. But I guess no
@@tupacsdaughter he uses the sus chords, all the original chords has a sus one, C it's called Csus, they can be sus2 or sus4, and D is Dsus and something like this with all the chords and I and a lot of people found so much prettier a sus chord than the original one :) I hope you can understand it

I don't even play guitar but I enjoy watching this
hes got such a cute face and hes very talented❤

its really not that deep... I take your point but he's making great music, selling albums and touring the world, its clearly working out
But i dont wanna die
I'm mostly see them with capo.
Indeed but a capo doesn't close the chord it simply moves the key up so you can play the same open chords in a higher key.
