      Mark McCarrell >>> I dunno man.... yes I see your point, but sometimes speed in the fewest words possible isn’t always the name of the game. Sometimes the details are important too and if they take a tad longer to explain, then I’d rather come away learning more.
      I think today’s society is too enthralled with a lack of delayed gratification, and your comment merely feeds into this.
      That whole “lead, follow, or get out of the way” mentality that people have, really irks me.

      if we learn theory like chords, intervals, modes and so many others, we can apply it to any instrument.
      we just need to know HOW to put them to use cause we can’t play a piano like a guitar.
      happy practicing!

      Hey, What if Cmsus2 and Cmsus4? Cmsus2 will be notes are C,Db,G? And Cmsus4 would be C,E,G which means going back to normal C chord? Thank you for the lesson.

    • @secretmission7607
      @secretmission7607 5 лет назад +3

      @@Nathan-ch7hu There's no such chord as a Cmsus 2 or Cmsus4. Why? Because a minor chord by definition contains the 3rd degree of a minor scale, while a sus chord by definition does not contain the 3rd degree of the scale. The 3rd is replaced by the 4th or the 2nd degree in a sus chord - that's what a sus chord is!
      So even if you had started off with a minor chord, once you made it a 'sus' chord the third is no longer a part of chord so you end up with a plain old sus4 or sus2 chord. Hope that helps.

    Also one thing I notice: the major triad sound happier, minor triad sadder, and in the same way the sus4 has more half notes spaced out in the lower part and sounds happier, like a major triad does which also has more half notes spaced out in the lower part, and a sus2 sounds sadder and it has fewer half notes in the lower part like a minor.

    I'm a little confused. You say: “to resolve to a 5th below” - but an Fmaj7 chord is not a 5th of Cmaj. You play a Csus4, then a Csus2, and then resolve to an Fmaj7. I can’t figure out how the Fmaj7 is a 5th. A 5th of what? “F” in the Cmaj Scale is a 4th. Please clarify. Thanks.

    • @Piano_Pig
      @Piano_Pig  7 лет назад +6

      Hi Patrick, when I say it resolves to a 5th below, you have to imagine the C chord being the 5th. If you were playing in the key of F, C would be the 5th... therefore F is a 5th below C. Hope this helps :)

    • @patrickjohnmchugh9589
      @patrickjohnmchugh9589 7 лет назад +1

      I now understand how you got there. The terminology seems a bit confusing. You're basically saying that a suspended chord can be considered a 5th chord, and that it resolves to its major below. Or it can be considered a derivative of its major, and can resolve to its major. No need for further explanation, I think I understand. Thanks. FYI: I really enjoy your lessons. Very informative.

      You seem to have gotten this down but lemme just add how I got my head around this when I needed it back in my guitar playing days. :)
      It was explained to me that this is what is called an "inverted interval" (google will tell you more) and when you invert a perfect interval you again get a perfect interval. In this case, a 5th below is a 4th above. As you noticed, F isn't the 5th of C when going upward but it is a 4th of C when going upward. This 4th above is indeed equivalent to 5th below. HTH!

    4:10 - so you resolve on the 5th below, thus from C to F. - Or from A it gets resolved to D. Correct? And it it's a B chord?
    ---- oh, did my own research - then it's an Es chord, which you can easily read off the circle of the fifths....
    BOOM!! I love it when the brain does its magic thing, building connections..

    How do you control the pacing so well like in the last piece you were fast but in the end you transitioned to slow without any abrupt change... I am not able to do that. just practice ig?

    What about a Gsus maj7? What do I have to do there? Please answer quickly, I need it tomorrow morning!

      That doesn't exist. Sus implies there is no 3rd and major implies you have a major 3rd. It's either major or sus, can't be both.

    i get everything except when you say any sus chord can be resolved by resolving it to the 5th below. What exactly do you mean by the 5th below?

    If you are in C major key and you want to keep inside the key notes and make a sus4 of the F chord, the B would be natural, not flattened. Is that still an Fsus 4 or it has another name? That confuses me a bit.
