It is a one-of-a-kind site dedicated to helping guitarists to understand the fretboard and create their own music. You will love it!!
A one-of-a-kind site ???
That's like saying the ocean is moist !
Zombie Guitar is by far the clearest most informative website that I have ever had the enjoyment of learning from. I've learned more from this website that I've learned in the past 40+ years that I've been playing music !!!

Im trying to improve my piano chord progressions and you really helped make a lot of confusing approaches to developing chord progressions very clear.. Your awesome.. Song writers can learn a lot from your videos, not just guitarist imho.!! Sub!!! and thank you!
I've watched your videos so many times. I have a sedimentary type of intelligence, small, thin layers of facts and knowledge accumulate over the decades of my life, eventually forming actual understanding. Most people just set out to learn something and they learn it. I set out to learn something, and after 7 years, I'm like, oh this was easy, why didn't I understand it sooner ?It's taken me many years to realize it's because I'm stupid now. It took me 15 years to learn the names of the keys on the piano keyboard. Super sharp one here, brother, yes indeed.
Don’t beat yourself up bro. Learn at ur pace, and concentrate on making music at the best of your ability at every level you’re at.👌🏾✊🏾JUST DONT STOP LEARNING
By far best explanation I have heard with visual examples. Excellent teacher. They say “repetition is the mother of retention” and this proves that simple teaching instead of doctors music language is far the best.
Hey Brian, just wanted to say - I don't care what you're wearing and the thumbnails couldn't be more informative. I've learned more from you than any other teacher on RUclips, what you showed me about chord tone soloing set me free from minor pentatonic land where I'd been stuck for years. I owe you a debt of gratitude man, and I know I'm not the only one judging by the Comments you always get. Liked and already subscribed! : )
Not only the best on youtube ... He's the best instructor on the whole freakin' internet !!!
Every time I get stuck on keyboard lessons I come back here, learn a bit about guitar as well, thanks so much for this Brian.
Brian, thanks very much for your videos on the circle of fifths. With teachers like you they can cut the entire program at music universities down to one month instead of four years! Extremely useful and fun.
I've watched hundreds of lessons from many teachers on RUclips and Jamplay. . . .these for me are up there with the best, conveying info. rather than ego Thank you Brian
krista96 hey thanks for the comment, I really appreciate that! I'm trying to spread the word about my website where you can find all of my lesson videos for free in a nicely organized manner - www.zombieguitar.com. Definitely check it out if you get a chance, and thanks for watching!
Under every videon on youtube, that teaches smth, there always ONE comment sayin that it seen 1000000 videos but THIS particualar video is THE BEST ever
Brian Kelly Brian, thanks so much for all your free lessons. You deserve more views. I refer anyone interested in music/guitar to your RUclips channel. I hope teaching music pays off huge for you. You really deserve it! Thanks so much again!
Brian ... Every chance I get I point everyone in the direction of your website, youtube vids, and facebook group in hopes that you get more subscriptions and paying customers. It's the least that I can for all the hard work that you've put in with everything and all the help that you continue to be with my theory studies.
You are appreciated bro, multiple gratitude ... Rock on !!!
@@krutoyinfo I've seen 10000000 videos and this one is the BEST ever !!!
{ seriously }
Your explanations are from a perspective that I've not already seen on videos before.
Powerful knowledge with good examples! bravo, keep up the good work
You have exceptional teaching ability. You break it down perfectly. Hats off
Great stuff. Thanks Brian. You once again have helped me on this journey
Great lesson once again. Thanks for making this video Brian. Your way of explaining it cleared things up for me since the theory books I had read on it were not clear in explaining it at all - much appreciated!!!
Great job. Very clear and thorough. Thanks for posting.
You are the best, I watched 3-4 videos of you and it all started to be clean !:)
Watched like 4 of your lessons, and wanted to say thanks for the videos!! You're touching on concepts i haven't seen on other channels.
Hey, man. Am never disappointed by your uploads. I don't know how long you have been teaching but I think any student of yours will be fortunate to receive instruction from you as you deliver the material in a very concise, logical and impactful manner. Hope this helps to motivate you to continue along your chosen path as I am sure it is not an easy one.
Just wanted to say thank you! Love your videos. They've really helped me to dig into basic music theory.
Cool, I’ll be on the look out.Thanks great stuff. 😎👍🎸
Very clear information, with an interesting mix of theory and practical examples. A super helpful video!
Thanks for making it so easy to understand. Great teacher.
you're a great teacher. really enjoyed this lesson. thank you!
Thank you for this video bro! You seem to explain it a way and pace that my brain digests it well.
I love all these lessons you have. I have been learning new guitar off of RUclips for years, and this channel is by far the best one I’ve ever come across. It’s advanced stuff but it’s so easy to understand. Thank you
Hey thanks a lot! I really appreciate the words!
Brian, this is a fantastically clear explanation which I watched after several others that left me in the dark, you have a gift for explanation. Thanks for this.
Hey thanks for the comment! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for all your information. I watch the theory videos and I’ve learned a lot. I don’t play the guitar but I find information that I can apply to the ukulele. I clicked on your circle of fifths video and went from there. You give a lot of information but concisely and to the point. I usually have to watch the video a couple times to grasp it since I’ve no musical background. This has been very helpful to me.
Really good uploads, shed alot if light for me thanks.
I've watched a couple of videos on secondary dominants, and this is the one that made it click for me.
Thank you very much!
No problem...glad to help!
You are the best coach on the net. Really amazing work.
Perfectly explained. Another weapon in my arsenal for writing 🤘
Brian.. thanks for all your theoritical lessons.. they are very well explained and very helpful...it helped me immensely..... you are doing a great job... God bless you for your talent........look forward to your videos always.......🙏👍
Awesome video, you explained it so so well. Bravo 👏🏻
Great demonstrarions, I am glad that I have spent time to listen in detials. Thank you.
Fascinating and very well explained, thanks you.
Great lesson Brian, thanks!
This clears up a lot.
Always thought that the secondary dominant had to resolve to the 2 chord of the key.. hence secondary....
Fantastic tutorials thank you Brian.
Brian, you explain the function of music brilliantly.
perfect best teacher on the web hands down!!!
Thank You So Much Sir!! 🙏🏻.
Very helpful lesson
Great info. Well explained. Thanks a lot. Well done.
Great video, man! Appreciate it!
Excellent explanation. Thanks for dedicating time and effort into this. Cheers.
You're welcome!
Thanks Brian. You are an excellent teacher! I wish I’d learnt all this theory years ago.
good video and very useful material when one wants to experiment with different sounding chord progressions. thanks.
Love it! Absolutely (and correctly - my 2 cents) described a very useful concept.
Thank you for the good lesson!
Thanks for the very useful lesson!
One of the best people that I’ve ever heard explain theory
Yes....your teaching is fantastic.....very clear....perfect....rc
can't thank you enough for these videos my dude.🙏🙏
Well, 5 K subscribers without giving it a second thought says a lot about what you have to offer. Hope you have local students because you are an excellent teachers and that is a precious - if undervalued, like the arts - commodity in our society.
loving this stuff man :)
Hey Bryan thanks so much for your lessons! You shine light on so many areas I seen hidden. You’ve used tools like the circle of fifths in your lessons to open up which seem to be a mysterious complex system.It now is so plain and simple that I feel as if I’ve been walking for 20 years while there were planes at my disposal right next door.
That's awesome! Glad to hear you are finding these vids helpful 😎
amazing teacher!
brother am i the only one who understand everything what you saying your demonstration i get everything what i need to learn in guitar
thank you brian
i am all the way from nepal lots of love

That's awesome man! Thanks for checkin out my channel!
Thank you so much for spending your time teaching . I get more out of your explanations of theory than most teachers on here. At least you make it interesting 😁. Keep on keeping on brother 😁
this small tricks like the one at 5:35 are what i like about your videos! :) i did not think about this easy help at the moment and only would have seen it only a lot of time later by myself. (hopefully haha)
Ty brian for the efforts on teaching us.. Love from philippines .
Kirk Kilat no problem. Thanks for watching!
yes thank you
Thank You: Very useful info!
Your amazing, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Sir..
Mehboob Yaqoob no problem. Thanks for watching!
I thank you for these free lessons. I've been good at what I knew at my small church, but you get around musicians that know their stuff, you'd better know yours. Ignorance is no excuse in these days and time.
Great lesson man, that helped a lot
AWESOME LESSONS BRIAN:D
Another brilliant lesson explains theory so well.
fantastic lesson
Fantastic.
Ur a great teacher bro🤘🏾
Nice work brother
Hey man great lesson! I've been struggling a lot with writing good chord progressions. This really opened a new world for me. Would love more chord progression lessons if you can. My rhythm guitar game is weak.
Jawshua haha Lots more to come. All lessons regarding chords/chord progressions can found here on this page: www.zombieguitar.com/the-chords-and-chord-progressions-page/. I will be adding several more to this page over the next month!
thank you SOO MUCH
Thank you.
In the key of C you can use the diatonic chords C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and Bm-5. Add secondary dominants and you can also use C7, D7, E7, F7, A7 and B7 when playing in the key of C. Add tritone substitution and you can also use F#7, G#7, Bb7, C#7 and D#7 when playing in the key of C. So your next lesson could be explaining tritone substitution :-)
I'm learning theory for piano atm but this was still majorly helpful, thanks.
excellent lesson
After 4 Years learning, now i can say; You are the most effective Guitarist here. I spend a lot of Time with your leesons to get better and better. It makes a lot of fun i really enjoy all your lessons, Its much Stuff guitar theory ))) but u help me soooo much, to understand what is Music and how does it works
Nice greets from Germany ;-)
Hey glad you are liking the vids. Thanks for following 😁🤘
Wow, just opened another door. Would like more on this subject. Cool 😎👍🎸
Joseph D'Alessandro Any specific topics you want me make a lesson on?
V nice and clear
5 of the 6 is a 7....cool lesson man... subbed. :)
Yeah. Thx
Excellent easy to understand tutorial. Better than any other explanation I've heard on piano. Does this rule hold true in minor keys and other modes?
Yup it does!
GOOD LEASSON
Spicy!
I've gotten more A HA! moments from Brian Kelly than all other guitar channels combined.
I will remain indebted to you forever. I wish I could meet you once.
Wondering, where can I find a more in depth version of this on the website? I am a member.
Firstly, thank you so much for those lessons. They really are great! Though, if you want, tune your guitar exactly before the video, some string/s is out of tune too often... Thanks again!
Adiaf8oros ya others have told me that before. Unfortunately my ear doesn't pick up the out of tune guitar...this problem also annoys my band to no end as well!
neat
Good way to fry my brain right before I head off to bed...Way good stuff...make me think and I think I maybe catching on...One more time through and maybe I will have it assimilated. Love the theory....and like the way to teach it....
Genny Trickett let me know if there's anything that you don't understand, and I will try to clear it up for you.
Can you do video on modes, explain how C# major and Dorian minor 3 would be F so now you have changed the C# major Thanks
Great videos keep it up
Hey check out my 3-part modes series. It will help explain everything about modes: www.zombieguitar.com/how-to-solo-across-the-fretboard-using-modes/
💡!
sir can you explain how to tranpose to a higher key?
You very cool dude
Art G thanks man!
I can see my minimal knowledge of music is just that - minimal, and you made me feel musical inept. Thank you, tho. I'm going to study this some more.
i just watch a redhaired women explain in 2 vids what secondary dominants are on the IV and V chords in detail for people who know fuck all music theory, like how to spell chords and scales (she did an excellent job of it). i wondered how it works with minor chords and suspected it works the same and your vid showed me it does. thanks for making it nice and clear.
In the Pixies “Where is my mind” the 2ndary dominant G# comes just after the C#m chord instead of before it. Instead the G# resolves to A. Sounds amazing of course but what are your thoughts on that use of it? Is the G# still considered a 2ndary dominant even when it’s not resolving to its “root” in this case the vi chord of C#m. ?
Great question! That is known as the "Major III chord" (which is also considered a secondary dominant too, as you pointed out).
I made an entire lesson about the major III chord here 😀
www.zombieguitar.com/the-one-chord-that-makes-every-progression-better-the-major-iii-chord/
Great video ! Just one thing that I don't understand, do you have to play the dominant 7 always ? Because if I am not wrong, your V chord leads to your tonic, even if you don't play the 7th, like if I am in C and play the G triad, it still resolves into C, even if i don't play G7, so when using secondary dominants, am I forced to play the 7th, otherwise it's not a secondary dominant chord ? Don't know if I am clear.
You are right. It doesn't necessarily have to be a dominant 7th chord. The important thing is that it is a "major V" chord, which then moves to the "I chord" or "i chord". The 7th just adds more tension, which creates a stronger pull.
Good job! One question. Most of the time, do song writers start with a chord progression, or do they have a melody first and then put the progression to the melody?
Good question...I saw a reddit thread that asked this question, and most people agree that it's half and half...I personally like to write the rhythm first, then put the melody over top of it.
Great videos! How do you explain when the iii chord is used as a Secondary Dom but moves to the IV chord instead of the V? We hear that a lot. why does that work? Thanks
Well if the iii chord moves to the IV chord, than it wouldn't be functioning as a "dominant chord". If it was a major III chord, you could just label it as a "borrowed chord"!
Great lessons Brian. Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't Em7 be the V/vi since Em is the 5th of vi (Am in C)?.
Hey thanks for watching. It would be an E7 though, because dominant chords are 7th chords, and also not actually part of the key (non-diatonic). Em7 is actually part of this key (the iii chord).
20 minutes well spent by all!
Clear and easily understood but I do have one question ...
How do we tell the difference between these slash { / } notations and the slash { / } notations that are used for chord inversions ? Do we use strictly roman numerals { ii/V } for second dominants and the chord names { A/B } for inversions ?
Just trying to guess ... is that correct ?
Yup a slash chord means that the bass note has changed. Secondary dominants are different. The roman numerals are the indicator 😀
Awesomeness !!!!
Thanks for letting me know that I got that one correct. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can now pass the mid-terms !!!
