  • In this lesson I cover some essential guitar chord shapes. These are great for Indie Rock, Neo Soul, Math Rock, but really, you'll find these helpful for most playing situations.

    This is very useful, and i really appreciate the standard notation and the tabs together. As someone who learned guitar by watching and listening and learned to read music from piano in college, this helps me not only learn more chords but to bridge the gap between the two skill sets for me.

    If you are playing more drop 2 chords, but want to throw in a some drop 3, using your thumb to grab the low E is helpful!

    • @Ryan_Perrin
      @Ryan_Perrin 3 года назад

      @Andrei James he uses the drop 2 and 3 meaning here, sort of. Or at least what chords they refer to. It has to do with the order of the intervals within the chord. So how high in the pitch register is the third interval of the chord, etx

      @Ryan_Perrin 3 года назад

      @Andrei James exactly. I didn't use that word specifically because I assumed these were always associated with that

    can we get a "every chord in they key of x" video? Preferably in the key of E major or C major. Please it would be very helpful!! And thanks for the amazing content! Keep up the great work!

      okay, maybe not every chord lol. But maybe the main ones for emo?

      Build the chord progression from the major scale. The formula is I ii iii IV V vi vii° (don't worry about the seven for now, but half-diminished/full-diminished chords rule, so keep it on the back burner and learn more later) so in the key of C that would be C Dm Em F G Am B°. Now grab your guitar and play the C major scale in one position, whichever one comes to you first. Notice something yet? The 'formula' applies directly to the notes in the major scale! For example: F is the fourth note in the major scale, so therefore Fmaj is the IV chord in the key of C; A is the sixth note in the C major scale, so therefore Am is the vi chord in the key of C; and so on. Whether you're in standard, open G, or you're noodling in some idiosyncratic Twinkle Daddy tuning some guy on the ultimateguitar forums invented in 2007, The Formula still applies.
      When learning the basics of functional harmony, one important thing to keep in mind is that the V chord is dominant and the IV chord is subdominant. Don't get too scared by the terminology (music theorists are notorious for applying big, arduous words to simple concepts and vice versa), it just means that in addition to standard major chords, dominant chords sound awesome on the V chord (so a V7, V9, etc- in the key of C this would be G7, G9, G13, etc) and resolve well to the I chord (the 'tonic'). When it comes to your subdominant chords on the IV, I find that maj7 and particularly maj9 chords sound pretty awesome, in addition to the trusty old major chord.
      With this simple formula you'll be able to quickly find the chords yourself in whatever key you like! When I first started learning functional harmony, I would play the notes, write them down, and apply The Formula to figure out the chords in the key. Now you're cooking with fire.
      *Just remember that music is an art and it's okay to bend these rules and get a little weird. If you play a III instead of a iii or a iv instead of a IV, and you think those sound cool in the particular chord progression you're playing, go for it. Throwing a dominant chord on what would be the ii (so turning that into a II7 or a II9) sounds great. This is colloquially referred to as the 'secondary dominant', the 'V of V', or 'The Elliot Smith Chord', depending on who you're hanging out with. Everyone from John Coltrane to Phoebe Bridgers uses this chord. It's tight and builds a lot of tension. Don't worry too much about this concept now, just remember that there aren't truly any rules in music and you can be pretty fast and loose with the theory once you're comfortable with the basics.

    4:56 Isn’t that a half diminished chord shape? Also, is there a reason for using a D7 instead of DMa7?

    • @Poopyheaddd
      @Poopyheaddd 2 года назад

      No, it's a minor 7 flat 5 chord; half diminished chord looks different. Also, he's in the key of G Major, so it's a D7 or D Major, which is the 5th degree in the scale. GMajor7, Aminor7, B Minor7, CMajor7, D7, EMinor7, F#Minor7b5, G Major 7
