I appreciate you playing with a clean guitar tone so we can actually hear what you're doing! So many tutorials have overdrive which makes it sound cooler, but harder to hear and learn.
home is what you make it...your a good musician man, I like your videos. music and playing guitar for me has always been more about feeling. You obviously know alot more theory than the average guitar player. hats off to you...keep doing it man.
After watching this the first time I was inspired and found myself "writing" something. Then realized I forgot the thing, hadn't recorded it and days later still can't recall it. Just make it a habit to record everything. You can always delete or erase it. Thanks man. Really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to more.
Really useful video, I love how you plug your course so many times, I always feel I'm overpluggng my piano courses but this time you plug it like every possible time you can. But I know what it is like, because yes, you cannot teach everything for free, and yes you do actually explain the stuff there :)
Right after you picked B I started thinking 'don't you play Canon', then the C#m, oh god he is doing it please no G#m! Ahh A saves the day. A close call
Another thing: on the one hand it's cool that you try to fill and smooth out every chord transition, but in my experience that doesn't work out very well in a full band context. You could actually take some things out and let for example the bass and keys play them, which gives your music a really cool composed quality, rather than one instrument totally taking the lead, and the rest just kind of going along.
Awake was pure brilliance. In my opinion it only showed how big of an influence Rush to DT was. Rush's Fly by night, DT's Erotomania main riff and Rush's red barchetta and DT's innocence faded.
+Abner Cestari Or you could listen to an old Frank Zappa thing called "The Carlos Santana Chord Progression". Hahahahaha! Frank is sitting on the top of the mountain looking down on your gods trying to get their stuff together. BTW, both Frank Zappa and Tommy (Tommi?) Emmanuel started out as drummers. Maybe that's the trick?
I've never been bored watching anything to do with guitars before man. This video reminds me of someone writing and 5000 times to fill out an essay. Then you basically played Pachabels Cannon
You peaked my interest in understanding more creative chord theory. I do a lot of this naturally but this help me really understand why I am doing it. Thanks.
As an old-time; long-time transcriber of musical adventures recorded by many an artist since days of Thomas E., this unraveller of myriads of musical performances have stumbled across galaxies of artists where there have been a few star-systems whose who have great chords, and great chord progressions. The sacred few who possess minds who have access to a universe of musical harmony which is far beyond that of a mortal man-- which seemingly can go where no man has gone before with their seemingly endless library of knowledge of chords are indeed few and far between. They know their chords and they tell great stories with them.I'll go back to the early 60's to retrace the Beatles as being the first who first showed signs of having some fuel in their tank to begin such a journey, which reached its maximum distance with their latest efforts--only to see it all sputter away into space shortly after their breakup--although with a few pieces of juicy debris floating round soon afterwards.Since then, there have been a few stars that have shone brightly--albeit more of a flash than shining . An increasingly hostile music-listeners market pulled down the blinds on the paucity of the precious few stars ( albeit aging stars ) still ablaze in favour of those cemented in a dirge of decibel battles-- or sweet; serene and melancholy whisperings, or an attitude of oppressed urban street banter. If the arduous task of increased difficulty of unravelling this paucity of musical journeys is any indication of a true artistry, the names of Donald Jay Fagen and Gino Vannelli are the first two heavenly bodies still hurtling strongly through space.
You instantly became my guitar role model, really enjoyed this. Inspiring me to take greater heights in Music. Definitely earned my subscribe and I will be checking out your website
the reason to keep doing it is to share your talent with people like me that truly appreciate it, and are thankful for all the ways it helped me progress in my playing.wishing all the best for you./peace\Jay.
Definetely ! Lot's of electro pop song are transposed to - A Min - F - C - G - cause it uses only C Maj scale, and it avoid the creepy black buttons on the keyboard :D.
Glycerine's the same chord progression, but instead of going chord1, chord2, chord3 & 4, it starts from Chord3 then goes CHord4, Chord1 Chord2. So it's the same chords, just rotated, he plays the second half first then the first half.
thanks so much for uploading this man. Being a composition student and guitarist, I couldn't tell you how many guitar players I see veering away from theory and analysis in favor of pure "riffage" or playing purely by ear (applying theory doesn't always sound natural to the ear, hence why I say this), when it's those very same things that will make their music better.
Anyone who wants an inspiration for this style of playing, with unique beautiful chords, check out a young guy called Mateus Asato. Such a beautiful style.
I fiddle around with the exact same chords in matter of fact. Used my ears to find em however. I guess knowing what you do, makes it easier to replicate or use it in other situations than only "those" chords I found.
This was awesome! Thank you. Again my attempts at "making a quick loop" to practice soloing have turned into hours of thinking about chord progressions instead... But regardless it was well worth it, good stuff.
That's good, what you created sounds like something that Steve Tyler would sing something to compare to the basic cords you should would be for like Sting to use to make a song out of. That's what I hear when your playing it for the vocals.
at 5:05, if you're lifting the bottom of your index finger to open the E and B strings on that A maj bar chord you really don't need to stretch your pinky to the 9th on the D string because the open B is already hitting that 9th for you. It's redundant E B C# *B* (same octave) E A
I love that you're a Satriani fan! I definitely want to get back into it! My back sorta screwed things up for me,.. but has been getting better, a d I just purchased a lighter weight guitar, so I believe that should make things a bit easier for me. I'm going to look into your courses, and probably get one ... or more. Thanks! You seem very easy to learn from. I'm kinda diggin' your teaching style. Thanks!
My favourite chord progression? Its very unique: "The Spirit of Radio" - Rush. The first chord progression in the first verse is just so beautiful. It goes like E5 - Bmaj(add4) - Emaj/G#. All the chords are in weird voicings.
I would say what you call a C#m7(#5) is functioning more as an Amaj9/C# as alterations (Changing the 5 or the 9) are often reserved for dominant function chords outside of Be Bop. Another way to look at this is that there is a scale that has all the notes of Amaj9/C# namely A lydian (A B C# D# E F# G# - 1 2 3 +4 5 6 7); Where as there aren't any common scales that have a minor 7 minor 3rd and a #5 the scale would have to be (C# D# E F# G## A# B - 1 2 b3 4 +5 6 b7). I would argue, that a Dorian Augmented scale wouldn't fit within this genre.
Man, you are the absolute best guitarist in the world. You should teach all those Paul Gilberts, Brian Mays or David Gilmours. You are the man! Not kidding!
my hole life y was thinking that learning all the chords and voicing was for academic study, now i can see why its cost so mucho to made goods chords progressions. very helpful!
I was playing around with these voicings to see what else sounds nice and blends with these chords. What I came up with was; Eadd9, F#minor add11, and D#/E.
you're right, understanding harmonic analysis is great. which leads me to my next point: it doesn't exactly make sense to call that one chord a c#min with a raised fifth. because you play the natural fifth on the e-string as well, so it's not altered, but just an added b6. Or call the whole thing Amaj9/C#
I like simple chromatic progressions, with 4 power chords for exemple (listen: "dark entries" Bauhaus). Simple, dark, efficiente! You can find it in other kind of music, jazz, and blues (the blue not inside the gamme for exemple). Not only in chord progressions, but for embellishments to
Why so many dislikes? This is a dope vid. I really am amazed how many people gave this a thumbs-down. I teach this shit every day and use it in my songwriting, too. Maybe you come across as being a tad snobby about the I-V-vi-IV progression (hit song formula, let's not kid ourselves).... and maybe there's some snobbery sneaking in.... but, I don't know. What you covered in 12 minutes really is pretty amazing and comprehensive. People out there--- stop disliking shit. Give it a thumbs-up, because people are taking the time to do this, and it makes a lot of sense. Maybe you don't know the full music theory stuff he's talking about... if not, find some beginner vids and then watch this. But this is great. Kudos, man. And also... crystal-clear voice, great guitar tone. You know what you're doing, and it shows.
as a singer-songwriter, i found that the classic e-b-c#m-a progression transferred around works as something to fall back to, because it's not bad to use it, it comes natural once you listen to a lot of the music nowadays. it's much more interesting and original when you add the sus chords and add9 and add4s, but again, i don't find it crucial.

LMAO
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
I never learned how to ride a bike because I fell... once. (teasing)
Just like everything in LIFE..
under the bridge
so I'm not the only one who thought of that!
Under The Bridge in the end of the song is the best chord progression
i was JUST about to say the exact same thing

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.
Sometimes i feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, The city of angels
Lonely as I am

Try to listen Radiohead. They've been created some of the most beautiful chord progression I've ever listen to.
Best Chord Progressions EVER: Elliott Smith. IF you are not familiar, definitely check him out.
+SubCulture MEDIA Thanks, I'll check it.
They are a very eclectic and interesting progressive alt-rock band,One of the leaders in that style of music in my opinion!
In my opinion, they are probably the beatles of our time. All of their LP are awesome and original
You don't get many bands like them that actually use interesting progressions. One of many reasons why I love their music
PRS guitars are so beautiful. Love 'em.
I appreciate you playing with a clean guitar tone so we can actually hear what you're doing! So many tutorials have overdrive which makes it sound cooler, but harder to hear and learn.

Well I love Brand New so

This is magnificent! you are an excellent teacher. I just became a subscriber, and looking forward to more.....thanks for everything!
Thanks a lot, I post new videos every weekday!
Best chord progression? Always with me always with you :D
what a CRUSHING DAY to play that song ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
just what ive been SEARCHING for :D
I totally MYSTICAL POTATO HEAD GROOVE THING... wait... that didn't work. XD
i can SATCH BOOGIE to that groove
Nice video but remove the background noise pls.
Absolute best instruction ever! Just tied together 35-years of this and that into super chord progressions.
anything written by Mark Holcomb. Pale aura, priestess, scarlet...Man, he's just incredible
root positioning is another variation of playing chords. adding half or even full diminished chords gives it more character. Great video for beginners
just the lesson i needed thrown at my face. what a time to be alive ty tyler
Right after you picked B I started thinking 'don't you play Canon', then the C#m, oh god he is doing it please no G#m! Ahh A saves the day. A close call
It was actually "Nearer My God to Thee", a traditional catholic hymn.
I - V - vi - IV is one of the most widely used and common chord progressions of all time... saying it's a specific song is kind of silly
My favorite lesson so far. Beautiful. Great teacher, Tyler.
Another thing: on the one hand it's cool that you try to fill and smooth out every chord transition, but in my experience that doesn't work out very well in a full band context. You could actually take some things out and let for example the bass and keys play them, which gives your music a really cool composed quality, rather than one instrument totally taking the lead, and the rest just kind of going along.
Best chord progression? Erotomania after the second solo (Y) CHORD PROGRESSION OF THE GODS
Old days of DT was surely the best ones
OllingProductions For sure
Got a timestamp for it? Im no musician :P
Awake was pure brilliance. In my opinion it only showed how big of an influence Rush to DT was. Rush's Fly by night, DT's Erotomania main riff and Rush's red barchetta and DT's innocence faded.

This is a great example/explanation of where to go when trying to create music
As an old-time; long-time transcriber of musical adventures recorded by many an artist since days of Thomas E., this unraveller of myriads of musical performances have stumbled across galaxies of artists where there have been a few star-systems whose who have great chords, and great chord progressions.

Outstanding job! I found this to be very eye opening in helping me approach progressions in a fresh way. Thank you!
That is so awesome! Been looking for this style of playing for years. This is music at its best!
I'm in love with your desk.
You instantly became my guitar role model, really enjoyed this. Inspiring me to take greater heights in Music. Definitely earned my subscribe and I will be checking out your website

Excellent.Very helpful.Your effort is greatly appreciated.
This video is great... honestly THE most helpful one Ive seen on the topic
LOVE your Franklin Strap
watching this made me fall in love with music all over again :D Thanks man, great stuff.
EXCELLENT VIDEO, you teach so well & straight forward with organization , keep making videos . thank you my friend
E Min - C Maj - G Maj - D Maj
Every pop song nowadays - transposed around
Definetely ! Lot's of electro pop song are transposed to - A Min - F - C - G - cause it uses only C Maj scale, and it avoid the creepy black buttons on the keyboard :D.
True, true... radio-music is predictable as f*ck. Same chord-progression in pretty much every song...
Don't forget transposing it to F major (F, C, Dm, Bb) for Glycerine's Bush to include the alternative crowd.
All based on Pachelbel's canon in d :D
Glycerine's the same chord progression, but instead of going chord1, chord2, chord3 & 4, it starts from Chord3 then goes CHord4, Chord1 Chord2.
So it's the same chords, just rotated, he plays the second half first then the first half.
Man im so glad i quit my pride and start to watch your videos.
This is helping me a lot
just purchased your courses, pretty excited!
I really like the use of #F here. It sounds different but catchy
I'm sad that I only now found your lessons, you explain things better than any teacher I've ever had.
thanks so much for uploading this man. Being a composition student and guitarist, I couldn't tell you how many guitar players I see veering away from theory and analysis in favor of pure "riffage" or playing purely by ear (applying theory doesn't always sound natural to the ear, hence why I say this), when it's those very same things that will make their music better.
Also my favourite resolution for the dilemma at 9:00 is F# Major-A Major-a minor-a minor 6-E Major. I absolutely love that progression
Little Wing is probably my all-time favorite chord progression

Awesome . It really gives me creativity n uniqueness
Reminds me of Under The Bridge
same key pretty sure almost same chords
instead of g# minor, he's playing c# minor
Or in Emaj7, call it as you want
That's not a scale.
that sounds great, a beautiful progression to play, thanks for this class, it helps me a lot
Nicely explained ... Worth subscribing to. Greetings from London UK
That's good, what you created sounds like something that Steve Tyler would sing something to compare to the basic cords you should would be for like Sting to use to make a song out of. That's what I hear when your playing it for the vocals.

C#
*B* (same octave)

A
Nice lesson, thanks. Sweet changes.
How are you getting such a clean acoustic tone!😍
Coil tap! :D
hell yeah, the PRS is a good reason
Magic little thing called PRS
what is prs?
Thanks
love your guitar sound
the progression at the beginning sounded like Under the Bridge's verse
I thought it was stairway to heaven?
it is stairway to heaven
+John Dou yes, but he is talking about the E-B-C#m-A. That chord progression is very similar to Under The Bridge
And like a million other rhcp songs
+GAMEBOYn00b such as...?

you'r incredible Boss !! subscribed to your channel and expecting more spectacular stuffs from you !
ahhh, finally, my search is over. I have found my new teacher of le guitara
My favourite chord progression? Its very unique: "The Spirit of Radio" - Rush. The first chord progression in the first verse is just so beautiful. It goes like E5 - Bmaj(add4) - Emaj/G#. All the chords are in weird voicings.

I really liked your tutorial. subscribed! please post more of such.
Congratulations. Very inspiring!
You are the win. I love your channel!

exactly what I thought
I always wanted to a try Paul Reed Smith Guitar,sounds nice and in tune.
Man, you are the absolute best guitarist in the world. You should teach all those Paul Gilberts, Brian Mays or David Gilmours. You are the man! Not kidding!
Thanks for helping me out in learning this beautiful chord! 😍😍😍
your guitar color and neck is pretty well
Trouble by Cage The Elephant is a beautiful progression
I stopped paying attention because I don't have my guitar on me so instead I just listened to that amazing clean tone 😍
Totally awesome, great vid.
my hole life y was thinking that learning all the chords and voicing was for academic study, now i can see why its cost so mucho to made goods chords progressions. very helpful!
I was playing around with these voicings to see what else sounds nice and blends with these chords. What I came up with was; Eadd9, F#minor add11, and D#/E.

Thaankss Tylor for this ossmm stufff.... Sweet changes 😍😍😍 and that PRS❤️😍😍😍😙
Nice, you've slapped a trademark on music theory 101
Make an extended video on how to use voice leading concept on composing or to morph a piece of music.
The Hawthorne passage- agollach has such beautiful progressions
Inspiring. and clearly presented. Thank you so much , from a beginner.....
It's been one week that I'm watching your videos
Got to a point that I like the video before I even watch
And it's always true
I really appreciate the lesson, Adam LeVine
Great stuff! I'm throwing in. You had me at "suspended minor ninth"!
Those inlays are sick
Excellent lesson dude. I love all these chords!
Awesome !!
really enjoying your videos.
Very petrucci-ish progression+tone, by the way.
Petrucci/Dave Grohl style
ahuhehihause1 especially one of the last chords is one I've heard in one DT song, I think it was One Last Time
I like simple chromatic progressions, with 4 power chords for exemple (listen: "dark entries" Bauhaus). Simple, dark, efficiente!
You can find it in other kind of music, jazz, and blues (the blue not inside the gamme for exemple). Not only in chord progressions, but for embellishments to
