BACKDOOR II-V-I Chord Progression, Soulful Chord Substitutions

[@elpedrosalas]

The best video I've seen on this topic.

[@LohPro]

my man, you explain everything in such detail & with such ease, it's always a pleasure learning from you. thank you!

[@d.t.3958]

As clear and insightful as always. I really liked that you added and explained all the variations. That's a ton of stuff to get musical with. Plus as general feedback: i enjoy you staying on topic throughout without any bla bla. Just excellent. Thank you for sharing with us!

Great, lesson, thanks.

[@halfindy]

Thx for placing the back door progression, the Mario progression and that Bb11 Motown progression into one drawer. It’s easier for me to remember one thing than three! 🙏🏼

[@damonshanabarger2604]

8:04 Start here if you've been at it a long time. Because of the simple fact that there is an absolute mind-boggling number of ways to backdoor into the root tonic relative chord in a (Major) or (minor) progression.

[@halfindy]

This is instantly one of my favourite videos of yours!

[@stephenowen5229]

Great video!

[@kerndeorksen5828]

I agree with @mikedwiles. This explains what we heard in the past, and what I will work on in the future. Superb video, and "crystal clear".

[@mikedwiles]

Never heard this concept discussed before. Thank you so much for the insight. I've heard the approach used in songs as you mentioned. Definitely going to work on this.

[@nomandad2000]

For my next album, I’m just gonna steal all these progressions 😅

What an amazing lessons....Thanks Rob Recommended to every learner to watch his guitar lessons video as it has essence on it.

1:35 love the analogy hahaha made me crack my socks off

[@jameserenberger3425]

Don't forget that a dominant chord can resolve to a major or minor chord, and there is a minor backdoor dominant. (iv° - VII7/alt - IMaj6/Min6) Minor 2 5's ftw.

[@tonyz4292]

This is gold!

[@DragisaBoca]

Thank you maestro, I learned more useful concepts from you then all the rest of the internet combined.... /humble_bow

[@krudler406]

Rob wins the interwebs....again!

[@CptFoot.]

Can someone explain why the D chord is major in the C major scale shown in the video? The second in a major scale should be a minor chord, right?

[@QJamTracks]

That would be graphic error. The 2nd chord in a major key is always minor. It is part of the ii V I cadence.

[@radicalrecordings]

Goeie video 👌🏻

[@ladc8960]

😮

[@RustyMadd]

In your first example you show Fm7-Bb7-CMaj7. That is not a ii-V-I. What's up with that? If the key is Eb, then it would be ii-V-I(alt), I see now. But the iv should be minor so we have some modal interchange taking place in that example? Borrowing from the parallel minor scale (Ebm)? Oh, shoot I see your explanation now. A different, perspective on the same move. Either way, it's understandable.

[@QJamTracks]

This is the backdoor ii V I

[@RustyMadd]

I figured this all out before watching the whole video. That means you are a great teacher, because you already prepared me to understand with previous lessons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart dear friend. You truly are a gifted teacher.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!!
