    0:00 Intro & Borrowed 4 Chord
    3:15 Borrowed 6 Chord
    4:57 Borrowed 3 Chord
    6:51 Borrowed 2 Chord
    8:18 Borrowed 7 Chord
    10:11 Summary
    This lesson covers a concept that many would consider advanced. But I've tried to explain it as simply as possible.
    Borrowed chords occur in music all the time, whether intentionally or not. In this lesson we discover where these chords are "borrowed" from, and what makes them work.
    By understanding where these common "outside" chords come from, you'll know when to change scale for your solo.
    But you'll also have some new ideas for writing your own chord progressions that are a little less predictable than those confined to the natural key.

    One of the best fret jams yet. It’s nice to see it like this, because all day you can look up parallel minor and get the concept. Then, you have the job of searching for teachers that show examples in popular music. This just shows both, and even begins ear training. Of these examples, I can pick out a song instantly that I know that has one of these moves as it’s main hook. So the move, I remember by the song. Very good.

      some of them have what i would call "the cobain switch" where you think it's in a certain scale but then it finishes with a borrowed chord

    • @Kisarazu99
      @Kisarazu99 5 лет назад +4

      Many are as Radiohead often simply switches to a minor where you expect a major. Of course, those talented folk do much else in their music, but your ear is correct.

    Love this type of thing. I recognize the sounds. Mostly in older music. The minor 4 was really similar to the song at the end of the movie La Bamba if I'm remembering correctly. Been years since I've seen that, but my mind instantly went there.

    Great lesson as usual, sounds like a gold mine of new chord progressions. I love it. By the way great lead tone you got with those improvised parts, Could you share some details about your tone or gear? Looking forward to that 'Modal interchange' lesson.

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom  6 лет назад +11

      Thanks my friend. I'm playing a Les Paul into a Boss GT-001 straight to the USB. I'm using a slightly modified "clean sustain" patch with a Dyna Comp and Blues Driver OD (both modelled through the GT). It does the job but finding good lead tone is difficult with digital processing. It can sound a bit one dimensional. I might try mic'ing an amp next time and do things the traditional way. Seems like the search for good tone never ends!

    • @chusssMusic
      @chusssMusic 6 лет назад +4

      Well if you are going to compare simulation to actual hardware it would be really unfair. But the tone you got is good enough in general, maybe adding some space or room reverb would enhance it the way you want, you will have to experiment. I like the sound of Boss pedals and multi's. To be honest I have heard bad stuff coming out of expensive guitars and gear so I finally came to a conclusion that might sound like a cliche, but good tone comes from good hands :) or the tone is in the fingers like they say. By the way I sent you Email please check it.

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom  6 лет назад +3

      Great points! Yes I'm generally a fan of Boss and the ME-50 multi has served me well live over many years. You're absolutely right, most of it is in the fingers and this is something that we just have to feel out over time. Got your email, thanks for that.

    • @Nikoo033
      @Nikoo033 6 лет назад

      fretjam Interesting, I was going to ask the same question about the gear used. I could tell humbuckers but I would have guessed more like a Gretch or a PRS. Bloody digital processing...

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom  5 лет назад +2

      It's only fairly recently that I've started to care more about tone (as in beyond fingers) and recording is where it becomes exposed the most. I know some people embrace that search and experimenting with different gear can go a long way to satisfying that. I personally find it a bit frustrating (not to mention financially burdensome) as I just want to plug in and play. So I think you're right in the scheme of things. Focus on developing playing skills first and foremost. When playing live, a lot of the tone you spend hours perfecting gets lost in the mix/ambience anyway. The main thing is that you get your musical message out.

    Your videos almost always teach me something, but this is one of the most useful videos yet. Knowing how to switch scales is probably my greatest weakness, so I usually resort to picking out good notes piecemeal. The idea that there's usually a ready-made solution is really eye-opening. Thanks.

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom  3 года назад

      Here's a tip (and I'm by no means doing anything extra special here!) - start with arpeggios (major or minor depending on the mode) and build your phrases around them. Use arpeggios to lead into and out of a more linear phrase from the mode's pattern. Then look at the 7th and extended arpeggios that correspond to the mode. Do the same with building your phrases around them. So you're mixing "vertical" with "horizontal".
