Lol! It was NEVER MEANT to be played in standard tuning 😂 this is amazing, keep up the good videos Trevor. You’re a huge inspiration for me musically and someone that helps me keep going in guitar
@@tokisuno the basically idea is the number is corelated to the note in the scale. So the IV would be Fmaj and ii Dmin in C major . sorry for the bad explanation lol
A note with the TMP riff is it's written in lydian so really it's a 1-3-2 progression. But obviously 1-3-2 in lydian is 4-6-5 in major. They just resolve to the first chord through that song.
I know you did the 2010s shoegaze video a while back, I’d love to see a breakdown of 2010s emo. A lot of shoegaze infused stuff, it’d be cool to see how a lot of those bands blended those sounds together.
Nice! If I may make a request can you do a video on that midwest emo play style that ppl put over sad movie/tv clips, you know the tally twinkly melodic stuff. Appreciate all the work you do you have been a huge help ❤
what are the numbers for (e.g. 4 5 6 5)? i never learnt about that stuff, and i don't understand how you turn a chord into a progression like that haha
Its basic music theory I reccomend you learn, the chords in all scales are basically numbered in order. Playing the 4th chord of a scale and then the 5th for example will give the same effect whatever scale you are in even though it sounds different.
@@antonyjohansson4006 tysm after this comment i searched it up and so i kinda found it out - isn't it basically different chords per key? like abcdefg or defgabc n stuff like that e.g in d, the fourth would be g, the fifth would be a and the sixth would be b
This is Like the ultimate "Create your own Midwest Emo/Math Rock Riff" Video!! Thank you for the resource and the inspiration!! these are beautiful Chord Progressions
this really showed me that I have no concept of applying scales ad hoc to something. Whats the best way to get started towards being able to know the 4,5,6,3 and so on chord in any given scale and being able to find the place to play them?
first off, look up a picture of every musical note on the guitar fretboard and just try to memorize where they are based on the dots. For the chord degrees, essentially they represent the notes 1-8 in the scaleyour playing in, so in cmaj you’d go c-d-e-f and boom theres your 4, f (and if your confused on making chords look into chord shapes)
For a 4-5-6-3 it doesn't make that much sense. It's actually 5-6-1-7 in a relative scale. Which does make a lot of sense with this kind of a reverse-lead relationship (one leads into seven instead of the other way around).
I agree, but the reason this misconception started was because although a lot of Japanese songs use the progression, there tends to be a point in some Japanese songs where they modulate to major, recontextualizing the progression.

That Emaj9 is definitely one of those "so now you just dislocate your fingers for this part, super simple stuff"
when u use numbers to describe the chord progression makes its so much easier :D tanks
how do you understand it?

@@momorarr ohhh i see. that's interesting. i don't know theory formally like, at all. this seems useful to learn.

that's right, if E is home then: Imaj7 / II7 / III-7 / VII-7
Obviously 🙄

i got so excited when u said skeleton key!!! this is a great video!! would you ever do tutorials for skeleton key or another origami angel song?

Glad to see you post again! Love the long form videos. Great progression video as well! Definitely will add these to my playing.
Have a good day, man!
JV Modified '50s Telecaster?
WAIT WHAT YOU COULD PLAY "ALWAYS FOCUSED" IN STANDARD⁉️⁉️⁉️
really cool, thank you!!!
The chords can’t be possible bro

Royal Road is 4-5-3-6
@@Turbovolver Basically same thing. The core of the progression is IV-V-vi (imo it's actually VI-VII-i). There are many, many variations.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for doing this in standard tuning! Much appreciated 🎉
All the best, Trevor. Thank you! ☝️
I just started supporting you on Patreon yesterday. Your demos are amazing and educational!
HA NEVER MEANT
Thank you, just picked up some petals hoping to get into this sound
how were those petals

Can I turn that first progression and riff into a song 🙏
The optimistic allergy…. Dude I relate so much
Great video like always Trevor!
Hey, thank you for such a detailed video. How do you decide what voiceings to use?
I thought it was Uncle Roger in the thumbnail
What would be the correct tuning to practice this on?
how do you find your chord voicings? thanks!
When i saw the thumbnail i thought it was uncle roger playing the guitar😅😅😅
woah man cool it
This is pure Gold. Thanks!!
This is fantastic, do more in this exact format!!
cheers dad

too much talking. just play first. i want to hear it. thumbs down, and avoid seeing this channel again.
You dropped this bud > *L*
Trevor, can you also do some post-hardcore/prog ish chord progression?

Emo and metal and make music theory fun to learn
