I sincerely appreciate your approach to applying music to the guitar. Your relational or associative or whatever-you-want-to-call-it approach gives me more frequent "ah-ha" moments, or paradigm shifts that allow me to move past things on guitar on which I've been stuck. Thank you.
If Bob Ross was a guitarist...
That's how I feel! Justin is definitely the Bob Ross of guitar these days!
Ha! I take that as a high compliment. I loved that guy. My dad taught himself how to paint just taping and rewatching Bob Ross episodes.
@@JustinOstrander You took it right brother.
It was indeed meant as the highest compliment.
That's a Haiku btw.
With a natural 5th...
Bob Ross was a bad ass.
As soon as you hit that Bm/A/E I instantly felt the Chris Isaak wicked game vibe, and you are darn right about feeling a vibe for that progression
YES! 👍
Chris Isaak 🤔 what lambert drive said.
especially with single coils in this key
Great lesson and superb playing
Definitely. Gonna remember this as the wicked game chord (Tenacious D version). Great lesson.
I remember hearing “Tequila” before I knew any theory as kid and thinking, “wait, the bass movement sounds different than the guitar movement to me.” I was hearing the movement from the I chord to the Vmin7. I could hear the major triad traveling down a whole step and the bass moving more like a country I-V thing. It was like, “whoa, you can do that?!” Then, when I played it on the guitar, I could literally see the major one chord go down two frets and live inside the five chord. Whaaaat?!? Pretty cool.
It was an absolute game changer when I realized that the 2m was relative to the 4 and the 3m relative to the 5. Awesome lesson!
The Nashville brain, but evolved. Pretty crafty, thanks Justin
I love this kind of analysis. I know diatonic theory pretty well but you have nudged me in new directions. The more "ah-ha" moments there are, the better.
“Super cool” sums it up perfectly - such an emotionally resonant chord change. Killer - great video Justin.
Love it. The 5- is just outside but it fits, too, and your explanation explains why perfectly for me. Explain the 4- next!
I think the 4- always comes from The Beatles....
Another way to look at it is that the B-section or "chorus" is in A major and the A-section is in E major.
The B-section then is then a 2-1-5 progression. It's a key change.
That 4 over 1 slide down to E is so slick. I’ve been practicing it for the last 15 minutes. Such a cool move. Thank you dude!
When i finally "got" modes, it was when i learned to think about them in terms of chords, not scales. ❤
When I worked studios, in another life, I learned quick that everyone had a different idea about everything. You struggled to read minds.
IE: "Nahhhhh...that's not it....what else you got??" How many Takes until: "That's It!!!" You are an obvious Pro Justin that can take a blank
canvas with allot of colors and shades of paint in your box!!! My compliments!!
A beautiful chord can inspire you and become better.🤘👍💯🤟
I enjoyed this lesson. Very practical. I learned the flat 7 chord functions as the backdoor dominant which is very cool.
The minor five can also be explained as a borrowed chord. Namely, borrowed from E majors parallel minor key E minor. The flat seven is also just the seventh chord of E minor. The minor four movement also relies on borrowing from the parallel minor. If you’ve ever heard a song play a G major in the key of E major or or a song in C major play an Eb major this is also borrowing from the parallel minor. An example of an artist that uses this to great effect is Elliott smith
That is a very pleasant tone. Keep rockin, brother.
You're such a great guitarist...killer watching your videos at the end of a long day, thanks Justin!
I’m blessed to find you today ❤. 🎸☮️👌👍😎
What a fantastic observation and explanation of the 5 minor and why you think it has the impact that it has. Recently it dawned on me the the flat 7 can also be thought of as the "four of the four" and the flat 7 kind has the same musical pull on the four that the four has on the one. As I listened to your explanation of the similarities between a major chord and it's relative minor I felt myself thinking "well that's obvious" even though I never actually thought of it in that exact way. I hope that makes sense. It's so insightful that it feels obvious even though it's not necessarily. I'm very curious to see the other relationships your course explores.
These sessions have so much great insight. Thank you so much as always Justin, God Bless!
Great guitar tones and playing. Excellent music. That chord takes me higher, like the bridge in a song that gets you to another level.
The sweetest spot. A golden moment. Thank you for the head's up. Your Alnico Cream is breaking in nicely!
Modes aren't special scales, they are simply the 7 degrees of the major scale. They're just a way of focusing on a certain CHORD of a given key and treating it as the root through emphasis even though it is a chord within its "parent" key.
So, for example, the 2-chord of A major is B minor, and if it's treated as home or the root in a composition, you're playing in B Dorian. It's that simple. The 7 notes of B Dorian are of course still the same 7 notes of the A major scale. Modes are just the use of the other chords within a given key as the root instead of the ubiquitous 1-chord or 6-chord root. Hope that makes sense.
Over time you've become highly influential on my teaching practise. Thank you.
Thank you, sir!
If you've played much jazz, you're likely to hear the Bm as a substitution for an E7 to voice lead to the A. More specifically, the Bm is an E7sus2/B without the root. To illustrate it, try leaving the high E open on the Bm chord (x24430) for an even more Chris Isaac vibe
Hard not to see everything as ii-V if you’ve spent much time studying jazz
Loving your way how you explain every tiny nuance. Thank you again. Super useful.
It would be great if you make a video explaining how you decorate your chords to not look like boring and flat!! Double stops, little licks, etc… ❤
This is also good ear training. Relative minor chords (or parts thereof) show up in a lot of songs and give it a different 'direction'. Love your work. And the tone to that JazzMaster - WOW!
Love that sound, and your explaination/frame of mind is so clear and "compact" enough to recall mid-gig!
Great, subtle use of the trem bar. Beautiful melody, beautifully played.
I hit pause before you started playing, picked up my guitar (tuned down to DADGAD, so I capoed up 2) and when you got to that chord, I automatically fell into the C trap. I immediately lifted a finger to let the Am7 ring out. You're right, the flat 7 is a super comon "interest" chord, and the minor 5 is always cooler!
Thanks for the reminder! Now you have me pondering a cooler substitute or embellishment for the major 2nd "interest" chord.
I've been an amateur songwriter for far too many decades and I really want to take this more seriously.
Justin another amazing and insightful POV. Can't wait for the course!
In my brain this is just an example of a key change from E-major to A-major, and I view them as Bm (ii), A-major (I) and the E-major (V).
The second I decided to make music my career and focus on money over playing stuff I liked, I started learning to find things I enjoyed even in songs I didn’t like. Maybe it has a great drum groove, or the bass tone is cool, or a synth arpeggio or whatever, but once I started doing that, it actually became fun to try and take a song that didn’t actually do it for me and create parts in the studio that I could enjoy playing. Even in my least favorite Nashville radio song, I can appreciate the really top notch production and engineering if nothing else. And as I also used to love saying to negative Nancies who complained about music not being “country” enough, if you don’t like what’s out there, go make your own music, otherwise you don’t get to complain.
The Beatles had this figured out by 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'
Awesome playing! Looking forward to your course. Time to try and learn some of those licks you just played……… 👍🏼
I'm also looking forward to this course. There is a lot for me to learn in regards to bringing out the melody of these songs!
Great video, awesome theory lesson, thank you brother
Ciao Maestro Justin! I am a guitarist and I follow you from Trieste, a beautiful city in the north east of Italy. Thank you for what you do, I think you are important for many of us. Today's lesson is an example, because you always have the ability to make what you explain simple and clear... and you always do it in such a musical way... Thanks Justin 🤗
Ciao Paolo. Is there a nice guitar shop in Trieste? I bought my first SG in Musicalli Rossoni back in ´95, but sadly I think the store is long gone . Greetings from Ljubljana (Lubiana Slovenia)
@@lovmasin Hey LJ friend! 😜 Store is still alive, not bigger than 30 years ago, but the guys still workin'. Buona musica Amico mio, a hug from Trieste 🤗
@@paolomillo805 Grazie mille! Happy to see the store still open... R'n'roll, Saso
I've always thought of this particular progression as borrowing from parallel mixolydian (to specifically highlight a b7-6-5 inner line melody over the v IV and I chords respectively), but I really like this perspective of the relative minor of the bVII chord!
Both you and Zac Childs always manage to calm my farm with your chilled attitudes and peaceful demeanours.
Is this thing a Nashville thing?
The minor 5 is a great sound. Good examples in Head Over Boots - Jon Pardi and Raining On Sunday - Keith Urban.
Great video and lesson! looking forward to the course release!
Great stuff ! Thank you !
It does. Thanks for posting Justin. Great playing.
I thank you sir. Ive been playing guitars for over fifty years. I’m taking lessons ( self taught) play by ear and now I’m taking lessons and learning theory and I’m appreciative of many other types of music on guitar. All music 😊
I really enjoyed this a lot- thanks so much!
This is gold, Justin! Thank you sir.
Well, that certainly got my attention. Enjoyed the lesson. Thank you.
Thanks. It's so inspiring to see these things through someone else's eyes.
Thank you for this. Thanks for the theory. I was in a (thankfully short lived) band and we called that cool chord (or vibe really) doing the Isaak vibe. Many times we used it to express tragedy. It is also a surprise not often heard. Modes are clinical. Modes vs expression? Expression/emotion for me any day of the week. Screw the clinical……
You have a great way with instruction. Eye opening.
Cool stuff Justin! I always enjoy hearing something I “know” by doing explained by overall theory perspective!
Gorgeous sounding stuff. I forgot all about the click.
From an emotional perspective, when the 5 minor is used, it creates moments of:
-the final appeal before we give up trying.
-I’m exhausted, I’m exasperated, I’m heartbroken, I don’t know if I can move forward…will I ever stop re-living the moment the love of my life died in my arms…and then…a faint trace of hope and maybe a second wind…maybe I can finish the game, or the race…maybe we will heal from the betrayal…maybe we will find love again if we do the right thing one more day…
Just 12 notes - and you only used three of them. And in another music style, adding a note or two for a minor 9 or minor 11 might be more nuanced but probably not more emotive.
Thanks Justin, I’m looking forward to your course.
Great sound👍🏻
Man that JM just hits differently than other guitars. Such a sound that cuts through, even on the neck pup!
Solid gold. Thank you.
I appreciate you sir
You’re a great guy. Thank you for caring to share with us real useful information.
I brag on you a lot.
I really appreciate your approach to thinking about the chord relationships. Keep 'em coming! Thank you!
I enjoy the chord analysis and harmonizations
That tone is absolute FIRE!
Thanks Justin, Super helpful!!!
get it completed...i'm in.
Super useful way to look at using the minor 5!! Have you done a video about using the major 2 chord yet? (If you did, I haven’t seen it yet). That might be a similarity great topic of conversation.
Good stuff Justin. Thank you
Great insight
Think about it. Chris Issaac had a HUGE hit using this sequence.
Definitely a "Wicked Game" vibe. Tasteful thought progression in your playing, as always. Thanks.
FRIGGIN killer tones!
Cool. I will put this in my bag...most useful chord sub.
Fascinating. I never thought of substituting the Vm for the bVII chord. Brilliant!
Like you, I always lean towards a tremolo rather than a chorus. Great content as expected. Love this channel!
Definity from the same generation as me... the X-ennials, born in the early 1980s, listening to the 90s rock n roll music then going into heavier music then finding the more melodic music as time passes. You put it right how music is the arrangement of pitch and rhythm in one of your videos, and I totally get it. Weather it be rock n roll, metal, jazz, funk or the blues, it's all an arrangement of pitch and rhythm and nothing beyond that.... other than lyrics and tonality and a host of other aspects
I loved the Modern Country chart vid. You gave us great perspective. I would welcome more of them occasionally.
You’re a really good teacher Justin. I’ve been considering taking the plunge on some online guitar courses. When you put yours out I will be happy to order it and commit to hitting it hard 👍
Hey Justin, Not to suck up or anything, but I got your back on this one
Old man drummer says modern country almost everything has a solid pocket nice groove. I can’t say that for pop music today,very well thought out, everyone with a super high talent level and like I said the stuff is being played by excellent musicians, top of the line talent level and those one takes you guys do! That’s some really bad ass !!keep it up, bro .
Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hey Justin, Awesome!!😍🎸
Hi Justin, I'm a bass player from Sydney, Australia. Most of my chops are from the 70s and I recorded and toured during the 80s & 90s. These days I also play a little Bluegrass (upright). Still rocking. Cool channel, I love your perspective on Nashville.
Really interesting video loved it thanks a lot 🎶🙂👍
Hey, thanks for the info about the "minor v is rel minor of the b7"! Never thought of it that way. Also once the v is minor, you can act like it's the ii of a new key (if only temporary) and do a ii V into a that key. Also I never thought of minor as "weak" before. All that heavy stuff I listened to growing up seemed very hard ... using mostly minor keys... and major stuff sound fluffy. Almost opposites of weak and strong. Interesting that it can be both.
Great sound - gotta try that.
Damn, thank you for this. Making good sense for me.
Very cool man!
That Top 5 video was my introduction to your channel (and Jordan Davis, so thanks for that) and has caused me to spend about an hour a day on your videos. Awesome stuff. I will absolutely be losing sleep until I understand that T shirt, though.
Follow the link to my store. The pic is my favorite rock solo tone setting on a Deluxe Reverb. Listen to the first example solo in my video “5 things you need to be doing with your Deluxe Reverb” or something like that.
great vid brother. 🙌👍
Great lesson! Thanks..
Oh by the way… speaking of songs, you have a new theme song in my mind. It goes like this. Justin Ostrander love song comin down in three part harmony…🎶
A nod to the Mixolydian
Not a modes guy either, interesting take on Vm, being a flat 7 sub. I've always thought of it as a sultry vibey V chord. Funny how perception can help your approach and broaden your horizons. Cool
You went all “Wicked Game” on us!
This is what I heard as well
I get what you mean by the relative minor being "weak" compared to relative major. The relative minor doesn't pull as hard to the tonal center of the key as the relative major would. It makes the (temporary) modulation to the D major key a little more palatable and interesting. Cool explanation man. Thanks!
A day of P90 guitars is a good day. Tasty as always, JO.
As mainly a writer for years I didn't get much info from the chord change as I've tried zillions of combos to create cool moments in songs. 😂 I did have an ah ha moment when you mentioned relatives within the scale though. Never thought of it that way, I always viewed them just as the root and minor 6th or vice versa. So simple yet overlooked. Very cool! These little things are why I love your vids.
Best reverb on your sound! 🥂
Giant single coils all around!! I love it!!
I think I may be learning something ... That's scary, but thanks.
There’s plenty of room for all of it
Chris Isaak “Wicked Games” bludgeoned that minor fifth to death but I liked your analysis and noodling.
Very cool. Awesome explanation. On the Plexi Soul record, our dear old Uncle Larry has a song named "The Power Of The 5 Minor" :-)
I dig it.
"Ah Hah".....thanks man!!! So simple
YET.......
