3 Ways To Use 1st INVERSION Triads On Guitar [The Songwriter's SECRET Weapon]

[@leonamongwolves]

The G G/B C D part just blew my mind.

[@josrodsedre5142]

9:38 Can we appreciate the fact that he slaps himself in rythm with the bloopers music? This new format is really enjoyable!

[@arpeggioblues5924]

BLOOPERS are awesome.. I've seen a few that I follow that do it.. it's fun.. keep doing it.. (outtakes are a riot)..

[@TheBloodyaymane]

I hope this channel grows more and more

[@hritik427]

This is THE best video on inversions that I've come across. You actually took the concept and have shown it in action, which makes it easy to understand. Thanks a lot. :-) OFF to practice now.

[@eldjennemo2122]

Great, great lesson. The way you explain & illustrate concepts and ideas on your guitar is amazing and so effective ! It is really a pleasure to discover, as a beginner guitarist, all your videos. Merci beaucoup !😎

[@AlbertKarhuFilms]

Little nuggets of information like this really make It easier to understand how to write pleasing chord progressions. Thanks!

[@evaevasant]

Uno degli esempi mi ha fatto venire in mente una canzone di Guccini! e subito dopo hai suonato More than Words... questa tecnica puo' funzionare in qualsiasi stile!!!!! Grandioso!

[@trevorbarrett6762]

Excellent video! Well produced with a great teacher

[@arklowrockz]

Thank you for a jolly interesting and informative video. I am very lazy about guitar and I thought chord inversions were only really practicable for keyboards. Very interesting to see that with a little application it can be applied to a fret board.

[@johnklatt6935]

Love your material. Can you do a video on VOICE LEADING? I always hear people talking about it but I'm not very clear of what it is and / or how to use it effectively.

[@TheBeatlesfan1991]

B7b5 is an amazing chord!.... also using a D7B5 resolving to G7 then C is an amazing usage of ii V I progression

[@jarrilaurila]

You mean m7b5?7b5 would be more of predominant than subdominant

[@sagarrae3951]

You are amazing man. Just get introduced to your channel and they are really really helpful. You explain this stuff so easily and your content is amazing. You have my respect sire.

[@roybutler1909]

So great! Thank you.

Thankyou so much, you have rekindled my interest in guitar after 15 years in the doldrums, playing the same old shi.....

[@BogdanRock]

So much helpful to understand the theory with the meaning alongside, and you're a fantastic teacher!

[@Mrdavidcroket]

This is an amazing channel!!

[@LeoVDove]

Wow, epic video man, thank you!

[@JolyonPatten]

Brilliant. The example progression at 4:12 is the theme music from "King of the Hill"! ;-)

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

That's true, didn't even notice that! :) It's a progression used in many songs. Well spotted!

[@JereToikka]

Great lesson. All of the uses were familiar but this is great to have them laid out in an orderly fashion.

Great lesson on first inversions!

[@fuzzmaayn29]

Fantastic video! Thank-You for your excellent content!

[@valedonjos]

Excellent video

[@gothgurlshaman4636]

hahahah, you are simply awesome! i play piano, but you make me want to play guitar, so my new approach is to play my piano like a guitar, and somehow its working. i especially loved the video on 7/8 and 7/4 time signatures. im definetly using the 7/8 time structure on my next song, and if i can, ill base 3 to 4 songs around this inverted chord structure, using that very 7/8 time code. i love the idea, and after a couple of months of not liking a damn thing ive written, im finally inspired , and have a direction. my label is screaming for new material, so now perhaps ill come up with something i actually like. yay!! thank you for being so awesome! oh, p.s. i loved the bloopers at the end, im still laughing !!

[@Majnun74]

Wow! This really helps. I’ve been doing this by accident and never knew it.

The bloopers at the end speak to me on a chemical level. Making instructional videos is hilarious sometimes.

[@matzelauda6673]

Those bloopers though 😂. You put a lot of effort into these videos. I very much appreciate that!

[@jessewest2109]

The bloopers man. So awesomr

Idk if it's just me - but I hate learning new music theory.. but I know I need it - and utilize tf out of all the stuff I learn haha. kool channel - subbed :)

[@playguitar2476]

Love your videos.

[@chrisprophet2835]

Fantastic lesson. I was actually busy doing this in some of my songs on my album I brought out recently but after 11 years of playing guitar I had no idea what the theory behind it was! It's good to see the passion that went into this vid. PS I never would have thought to invert a diminished chord. Blew my mind when I saw that

[@carlosclaptrix]

Brilliant teaching!

[@DarrylPowis]

Another excellent video!

[@insanbiasa8780]

The way he said "in fact" always caught me off guard..😂😂

[@kiryucovers]

2:00 Second inversion is less consonant than First Inversion??? In my opinion, 1st Inversion is more dissonant. Do our ears work differently? Where did you get this information?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Maybe they work differently. I hear 2nd inversion chords as more dissonant. And most musicians and music theorists are of the same opinion (I can't think of a book of harmony that says the opposite). Mind you, I do not want to discount your perception - if they sound that way to you, you are not "wrong". Maybe you listen to music that uses lots 2nd inversion chords, or you like better the interval of a 4th in the 2nd inversion (rather than the 3rd in first inversion), or you are playing some specific voicing that make the 1st inv more dissonant than the 2nd. Maybe the specific thing you call "dissonance" is not the same thing I call "dissonance" (for instance, 1st inversion chords "want to move" more than 2nd inversion chords. That's not the same as dissonance, but there's not a real name for it)

[@kiryucovers]

@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Valid points. First off, with basic inversions, the difference between them can be extremely subtle. So to sort of "exaggerate" their quality, I play them on the lower registers, which brings out more of the harmonics and allows one to better hear the interplay between these harmonics. Doing this, C major in 1st inversion can start to sound like an Emin b6, while second inversion can start to sound more like a G Sus4 add6(13). Still very subtle, but it's there. Emin b6 contains a minor 6 and a minor second interval, both of which are quite crunchy. While the G Sus4 add6 contains a major 6 and the major second as its smallest interval. To me, this is why I hear C major in 1st inversion as more dissonant. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Grande meistro

[@binface9]

Is that a Strat with 2 pickups, humbucker in the bridge and a Strat-sized humbucker in the neck?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Yup!

[@BrunoNeureiter]

C G/B Am sounds like Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven, too.

[@dntinpalevo]

Is that a tubemeister 18 head? How do you like it?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Honestly, I just sold it. It's a good head, but I'm using the Mark V/25 much more (this is what you hear in the videos). The Tubemeister is very functional and great to gig with (especially thanks to the ability of switching the power down to 1 watt). I recommend to give it a try and see if it's the tone you want or not - it sounds very different depending on the cabinet (as any good head should) so don't just try with his own cab.

[@dntinpalevo]

@@MusicTheoryForGuitar If you don't mind me asking, what did the H&K lacked that the Mesa MarkV/25 had, in your opinion?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

@@dntinpalevo Well the Mesa costs 4 times the H&K, there are many points of difference :) Overall, I like the tones of the Mesa better: I prefer a bright guitar in a dark amp, and the H&K was too bright for me. I can still get the brightness in the Mesa if I need it. The Mesa is more versatile with the extra post EQ and the multiple options per channel. Ultimately, the Mesa is more 'my' sound. Then again, I gigged for years with the H&K, and when you set it at 1W, CRANK the volume, cut the treble and boost the mids then it sounds great and cuts through the mix wonderfully (the Mesa can do that too). Again, nothing to complain in either amp.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

All right, forgive me for asking… But you’re playing slash chords and calling them inversions. If I just add an E below the CEG in order, that doesn’t really seem to be an inversion. I wonder if it’s an issue with the guitar versus the keyboard. Because on the keyboard, everything is truly linear and it’s very clear when you have created an inversion. Because when you play a standard open D chord… The three finger cowboy version. It’s already an inversion. Of course, that’s not quite true you have the open D string, which is your lowest note or the open a string since you can play that too. Anyway… You see what my question is: is there a difference between a slash cord, and a true inversion? And does this issue get complicated by the layout of the guitar fretboard.

[@CuchoCanton]

its all about that bass

[@kartikxramesh]

a quick tip for editing your videos, please don't keep switching between the cameras on your guitar and on your face, the constant camera changes are a little overwhelming.

[@DangFee78]

This chord (B dim) tends to sound icky in context." And it also provides some of the richest chord progressions known to man, but by all means, stick to your ac/dc songs.
