- In this video, you learn how and why to use borrowed chords on guitar.
Borrowed chords will provide you with an amazing amount of additional options when it comes to writing and playing chord progressions on your guitar.
Typically, when writing music you have what are called diatonic chords. These are chords that belong to the key, in that they are inside the key.
Many songs use diatonic chords exclusively, and while this sounds fine, it can get a little monotonous and boring after a while.
Enter Borrowed Chords.
This is when you borrow chords from another key that is parallel to the key you are in.
In this lesson, you learn how to create several chord progressions using very common borrowed chord options.
I will take you through each of these progressions so you can understand exactly where the chords are coming from, before looking at some examples of combining the borrowed chord options we cover into a single progression.

Great lesson. I like all the examples, and the easy-to-understand explanation of the theory. Thanks!
You are very welcome Martin! Thanks for the kind comments and I am glad you liked the lesson :)
Great class! Congratulations!
My sugestion for new video idea to a step foward in this same subject, would be to address the harmonic function of each of this borrowed chords. Cheers!
@msi6104 , thanks! Gald you like the video and good suggestion for a future video. I appreciate your input :)
Great lesson! I love the nuances in those progressions. Also, It's a big relief to get an explanation for borrowed chords. I've seen them, enjoyed the sound, but not understood how they worked. I'd be keen to see a lesson also on secondary dominants--for instance, in this progression from your fingerpicking course (module 1, lesson 7, progression 1): Bm7, E9, AMaj7, A7, DMaj7, c#7, F#m, B9. In the key of Bm, the E9 takes the place of Em ; C#7 takes the place of C#dim; and B9 at the end takes the place of Bm. Sounds great. I'd love to know the theoretical explanation. Then, too, just hearing you work out progressions with strumming is musically pleasurable. Inspiring.
Glad you found the lesson useful Joe! :)
Simon at around 13:40 you played |C |Bb F | which is diatonic (5,4,1) in F, but you analyze this as 1, b7, 4 in C. I like your analysis because it recognizes that C, not F, feels like "home". For many years, until recently, I would have called that a 5,4,1 in F, but I am trying to properly ID the 1 chord these days. Glad to see you seem to be thinking along the same lines here!
Hi Jeff :) Yes, it's all about where the tonic chord is that will determine the key you are in. So the example you cite could be considered a 5, 4, 1 in F until you hear it and discover it is in fact in the key of C borrowing a chord from C minor :)
Excellent video Simon, thanks!
Thank you Jeff! Glad you liked the video :)
Very nice thank you!!
@nyzombiesquad182, you are very welcome! :)
Great lesson thanks
You are very welcome! :)
Fascinating lesson. I had not heard of parallel minor before. it really opens up many possibilities and colours. I saw a lesson a while back where the relative minor (harmonised scale) was used as the source for useful chords. Clearly a fruitful area for songwriters. Cheers from NZ
You are welcome Mario! Yes, parallel minor concept opens up many possibilities and also explains many chord progressions you hear in music.
Glad the lesson was useful to you :)
Thank you so much Simon for such a clear and concise lesson on Borrowed Chords!
You are so welcome sr6382! :)
Thank you Simon I very much appreciate your time great explanation on a subject which I never understood either great lesson as always 👍🏴
You are very welcome John! Glad you liked the lesson :)
Thank you very much Simon for your simple and useful video on this subject, always with the elegance that characterizes you.
I've been trying to download the Jazz book, but it's having trouble, just so you know.
You are very welcome Emilio! Glad you found the lesson helpful :) Can you let me know exactly the trouble you are having with downloading the eBook?
It appears to be working from my end. I'm sure I can help solve the issue you are having with it
@@acousticguitarlessons Thank you Simon, when I have already taken all the steps and it is supposed to download, I have a window, which I can only give to "accept", which says:
"The form could not be submitted Typeerror: 'Caller', 'Callee', and 'Arguments' Properties May Not Be access to Strict Mode Functions or The Arguments Objects for Calls to Them"
I love it.. great lesson .. thank you!
You are very welcome Chris! Glad you liked the lesson :)
Que aula, Simon! Por aqui ainda não vinha visto igual. Obrigado 😊
Glad you like the lesson and found it helpful Celio! :)
Cool baby!
Glad you like the lesson! :)
Nice lesson. By the way, how good are Maton guitars, are they worth it for an advanced beginner like me?
I love Maton guitars but of course it is subjective. They have a good range and are definitely worth checking out. The model I am using in the videos is now obsolete, but they have an equivalent plus many others.
