Start learning the major and minor scales. Start with just one key, learn all 7 notes. This will teach you the chords that belong to that key. Let's take the key of C. The notes are C D E F G A B. For major keys: the 1st, 4th, and fifth chords are major, the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th chords are minor, and the 7th chord is diminished. For minor keys: the 1st, 4th, and 5th chords are minor and the 3rd, 6th, and 7th chords are major. So for the key of C major the chords would be: I - C Major II - D minor III - E minor IV - F Major V - G Major VI - A minor VII - B diminished (don't worry too much about what this means for now, focus on the first 6 chords). --------------------------- Now, you can use these chords to start writing chord progressions. Let's stay in the key of C. One of the most common chord progressions for major keys is I - VI - IV - V. So for the key of C this would be Cmaj - Amin - Fmaj - Gmaj. Once you understand how the chords fit into each key, you can start to understand what he's talking about here: creating melodies which follow the changes of your chosen chord progressions. This stuff can be confusing at first, so start small and take it slow. It's not as hard as it seems at first. Hope this helped!

[@LoGsounds]

I approve this message, although I would make it slightly simpler. Major and minor keys are the same thing, just with different featured chords. In my opinion there's no reason to shift the numbering. To sound standard major you simply feature the 1 chord, to sound standard minor you simply feature the 6 chord. In this scenario the numbering stays the same, 1 4 5 are always major, 2 3 6 are always minor, 7 is always diminished. As opposed to saying In a minor key 1 4 5's are minor. This is true, because that's actually just 6 2 3 of the original major key. Within that structure, simply choosing to write music around different chords will yield different sounds, without having to change the numbering. Not saying this method works for everyone, but it definitely makes things easier for me.

Dude. Your shorts have literally been everything I’ve needed to see to piece together my 15 years of playing hahaha This one minute has transcended my guitar playing immensely.

[@brandonyoumans7174]

You are an AMAAAZING teacher. This is the forth vid of yours I've come across, and in each one I've noticed you have this gift of showing ways to get over the main hurdles we face as guitar players.

[@LoGsounds]

Glad to hear it!

[@Shane-iy6xf]

I've been playing guitar since I was 7 years old I'm 41 now and haven't touched the guitar in almost 2 years, this video makes me want to pick one back up.

[@geraldbenson4114]

Dude, you just became one of my favorite teachers on KZbin. Thank you so much.

[@craiger2399]

Brilliant. Edit: just want to say a big THANK YOU. I don't know if it was just the right teaching at the right moment, but this short video taught me all the three note voicings you used (I had never encountered that), and that the E string rooted voicings can work very well adding the open strings (esp in key of A). I also love that the diminished sounds so much more pleasing in the three note form. Finally, these shapes allow for really easy muting of the unused strings. Very cool and thanks again.

[@osiruskat]

I can't hit not enough like buttons for this exercise. Brilliant.

[@thismusictrash5143]

I play bass and keys but I still love your videos. And thank you for not always playing in C like every other teacher.

[@NorseHorse1]

XLNT for brain and finger-muscle memory, and getting them to sync. Man, that's brilliant! After 46 years and I'm still loving to learn. Thanks! 👌

[@jeremyjohnson9585]

So you are taking each note of the scale and forming its chord shape? That's so simple, but so genius.

[@LoGsounds]

Basically yes. For instance, first note I land on is G#. I know that note is the 7th of the Key of A, but I also know it's the 3rd of E major, the 5 chord. So by noticing this connection I now know the 7th of every key is the 3rd of that key's 5 chord, always. So I'll navigate the fretboard, finding connections like these, memorizing the ones I find most valuable, and commit them to my playing. In the demonstration, I'm mostly landing on 3rds of each chord just to keep it simple and working with the 1-5-3 shapes I'm using. At the end however I expand a bit out of that.

[@MrAvenger4]

This is really a great exercise! Puts your scale playing in a context, great for improvisation and composing

[@Xirrious]

Damn dude you're a great teacher this is perfect for me I love how the universe gives us what we need

[@music_ljs]
