The best explanation on this topic I ever saw. And 'Yesterday' as an unforgettable Example.
Lesson accomplished. Thanks a lot.
Of course! Glad you enjoyed this one
So clear and well explained. This has demystified minor scales for me, and I don't even play guitar! Beautifully done, Chris!!
Ha! Glad you enjoyed it!
But what about "Banjo-minor" isn't that one of the 24,000?
Chris should have 1 million subscribers. Absolutely one of the top teachers on RUclips.
Real lessons rather than fluff, practical, learnable and accessible. Brilliant
Awe shucks…thanks!
There are people who talk with their hands, and then there is this guy.
Is that good, or bad? :) hope you enjoyed it.
Haha, the "Way Too Spicy Problem" indeed! That must be why I like Harmonic Minor so much. Great lesson!
Ha! That's exactly why I love it for sure!!!! Great minds.
Great lesson. I knew the scales but didn't know the WHY. I feel enlightened. Thank you Chris.
Chris, simply put you are the man!!! Mahalo
Mahalo!
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDS. ABSOLUTELY SUPERB TEACHING METHOD. CLEAR , CONCISE AND RELEVANT TO PRACTICAL PLAYING.
Thank you kindly, Neal!
Wow, the Yesterday example was fascinating and very easy to hear compared to just hearing the scales up and down.
It wasn't until I heard THAT example that I was able to hear it myself.
My man, that was a fantastic presentation!
Thanks!
Outstanding! I have been wondering about this for years.
So glad you enjoyed this one, Steve! Thanks so much for your support!
Hi Chris, I love your lessons . Is there a way that you can put tabs so that I can understand it better! I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks Chris!!!
his patreon page has them
Great lesson! This was always confusing to me, you made it make sense finally.
Glad to hear this explanation made sense.
Loved this lesson - thanks, Chris!!
Clear explanations. Thanks Chris.
Wonderful….many thanks Chris
Very well explained. Thanks man!
Fascinating. I had heard of all of these scales, but never knew the "why" before. Now I have to harmonize each of them to see if they produce any oddballs.
Brace yourself :)
Thank you Chris❣️😊
You are so welcome
Great lesson Chris. Thank you. Well done sir 👍

Thanks!
Really appreciate that mrbigg!! Thank you!
Nice explanation.
Thanks, Kim.
Just when I think I know it all...,(or at least some of it ) another lesson I missed or was never taught to me..., Looks like I have some more homework on the never ending journey to Guitar superiority!! LOL! Thank you Chris !! this one confused my brain a bit!
Thanks Tone, glad you enjoyed it. It's an overall confusing subject to be sure!
being myself a hungarian, I prefer the double harmonic minor scale (aka hungarian scale) over simple harmonic minor scale, haha
good teaching as always!
Thanks!
Thanks Chris, very understandable .. as a possible future video request, could you please use your instructional expertise to explain when why where and how the hell to use minor/major 7th chords? 😅 That would be really enlightening! 😁
Great idea! I’ll add that to the list of video subjects, thanks.
@@curiousguitarist Oh awesome! Thank you so much 😁 🙏
Hello sir
I have a doubt regarding how to play the whole step and half step while moving from one string to the next while playing the major scale.(like if a whole step in the same string can be played by leaving a fret.but when moving to the next string how to calculate that)
It’s not very intuitive so you’re not alone! A whole step up on the next string is always 3 frets back with one exception; going from the G to B strings it’s 2 frets back. Try practicing just that, and naming the notes when you play them for 5-10 minutes and you should be able to recognize the distance calculation much more easily.
Keep me posted!
Thank you so much sir!! Understood 👍💯@@curiousguitarist
Some videos need more than one thumbs up fornthe like button .... this is one of them
Hey thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!
What's the story on the number 12 strat?
#21 was a Ferrari that raced in the 1969 LeMans…I’m just very fond of that car :)
CHRIS, Hendrix avoided using the harmonic minor scale instead using the Gyspy scale to play his octave unisons using the Gyspy scale. What I'm saying is that the octave unisons aren't based on the major scale or the 3 minor scales. Listen to Hendrix Woodstock rehearsal tapes because Hendrix thought the harmonic minor scale was not for rock tonalities. The octave unison progressions are based on the Gyspy scale which you should make a lesson about it because Hendrix used it. Also Jazz Musicians would use the Melodic minor scale a half step UP from the root note which you can also make a lesson about because "fusion blues" uses this in blues fusion music.
Great comment Wayne, thanks!
If it wasn't for Harmonic Minor we'd have no DomV in the minor blues...no more "The Thrill Is Gone" :)
@@curiousguitarist The DomV in based on the Dominant Pentatonic scale , ( NOT the harmonic minor scale ). Remember Blues tonality is not related to the circle of 5ths, its in the mixoloydian tonality. Its like learning the Dominant CAGED System NOT the Major or Minor CAGED System like most teach but never teach the Dominant CAGED because that is blues tonality.
@@waynegram8907 The Dom7 chord is produced organically by a few different scales, as I'm sure you already know, one of them is most assuredly the Harmonic minor scale.
@@curiousguitarist Yes classical composers used the harmonic minor scale to make the minor V chord into Dominant V chord but they avoided using the harmonic minor scale because of the augmented 2nd interval which is to avoid Aug 2nd its a classical rule because it was ugly to the Ear. That is why classical composers created the Melodic minor scale for only Ascending up only because it LEADS to the tonic home note. You don't hear the harmonic minor scale being used in Blues music much so the Dom7 chords parent scale is NOT the harmonic minor scale.
@@curiousguitarist Hendrix song Wait Until Tomorrow, uses a Dom7sus4 chord in the main riff. Hendrix started getting into altered Dom chords and 6/9 chords in the axis bold as love album which he started using major pentatonic over these chords.
Curious & confusing. Still trying to find the nuances of major scale.
Yes the major scale should always be the anchor until it is familiar. From there you can really explore alterations and their impact. Thanks, Matt
This lighting is hard to follow along with
Tell me more, I like the feedback but something actionable would be helpful.
@@curiousguitaristHonestly, as someone wanting to learn guitar, your lesson is the main thing I focused on, and it’s SO amazingly good, I don’t think you need to worry too much about anything else! Seriously, your guitar lessons really stand out from others on RUclips, because you actually explain music theory, rather than just teaching endless songs the way others out there do! Having said that, this is my 2 cents as a photographer: The foreground lighting seems a little bit dark, and that strand of Christmas lights in the background tends to draw visual focus away from the subject you want to focus on in the frame, which is obviously the guitar. On the other hand: I really like the relaxing mood you have going on in your studio, and I totally get that those kinds of lights might help set the mood you’re wanting… What I would suggest is: Keep everything else the same, but try adding a bit more lighting on where you are in the foreground, so that you aren’t silhouetted so much by those background lights. Use a WARM color cast (maybe 2700k) if you can, to match the color temperature of those Christmas lights, and not lose that warm look, if that’s the kind of look you are hoping for.
@@zuperdee wow, this is great, thanks so much. I have not put a lot of thought into lighting so I really appreciate the advice.
I’m also so glad the channel content comes across for you, and yeah, that’s the main thing.
If you lived in Denver I’d trade you a guitar lesson for a lighting lesson :)
@@curiousguitarist Haha! Thank you so much! Denver, eh? As a matter of fact, I do have relatives who live there, so the next time I come there to visit them, I wouldn’t mind trying to set something up. (Unfortunately, it may be quite a while before this ever happens now, due to family health issues.)
