Soulful Major 7th Chords - Progressions & Modulation

[@jackmurray4669]

Literally the best guitar lessons on KZbin

[@benjaminforster4500]

Jack Murray As opposed to “figuratively?” Please don’t use the word “literally” just for emphasis. It “literally” makes you sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@failgod9079]

Not even limited to guitar, anyone can learn from this guy that's how good a teacher he is

[@professorhamamoto]

@@benjaminforster4500 The overuse of "actually" also is a minor irritant.

[@willernst]

Actually, minor irritant is literally the worst altered chord.

[@benjaminforster4500]

No stick. It’s just that when I hear it ten times a day from people around me simply because it’s become trendy, it makes me realize how dumb we are becoming as a society. Another example is when people use “ironic” when they mean “coincidence.” All I’m saying is, have a little pride for yourself when you communicate publicly. Not doing so speaks volumes.

This is so insanely useful, much appreciated 🙏

dude i literally love you, i’ve learned some maj7 chords but DUDEEE this is the first video i’ve watched where i actually feel like i’ve learned something ab music theory. thank you bro

[@FlyOnTheMoon.]

Yet another eye-opener - and fretboard-opener - by Mike, as only he teaches. When I find myself comparing myself to someone else, I remember his mantra: "Be yourself on guitar." So when I DO compare myself, I come back to one of Mike's beautifully done lessons. Then I see that I can do so many things that others might never learn. Thanks once again for all you do, Mike. This particular lesson is one of the best I've seen. Cheers.

[@danielmakuch3094]

This lesson is very complicated to me but I will watch it over and over until I understand. I have developed my own system of learning guitar as I have progressed and I can actually translate this to my head. Thanks a bunch

[@GeorgeHawking]

100% Useful without nonsense.

[@circlemover]

I dont know how you get the graphic elements to work so well with the audio but its spot on...you are a person and cool dude.

[@stevewebertampainvestments2097]

I have watched a lot of video lessons lately and thought I was watching the best until i found this channel. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you!

[@douglasmason6067]

agh i love this, it’s like a musical buffet from which to draw inspiration; thank you very very much for the no-BS lessons!

[@Guywho_is]

Your videos help me break out of my box. There's so much you can do with music. I just recently fell on a Maj 2nd and it's a powerful feel. But the maj 3rd is what first opened my eyes to modulating. Oh and the sweet melancholic maj4 to min4. Anyway, thank you.

[@adriankapratomo7725]

Hey girl, you are my major seventh chord. Because you makes things better

Marvelous! Way over my head, but so instructive.simply beautiful chords, but more importantly explained in a very logical and understandable way....thank you

[@milesmcgeoghegan2727]

Giddy with excitement at the prospect of learning real theory for guitar! Thanks! You guys are great teachers and worth supporting!

[@MenkoDany]

Wow, wow, wow, you just earned a subscriber Usually when youtube recommends me stuff it's ~20% stuff I already know but put more succintly, repackaged and such, ~40% stuff I have an intuitive understanding of but never heard put to words, ~20% stuff like meme theory, negative time signatures and such and 19% stuff that's way above my level and too complicated for me to even begin to understand. This was a rare 1% of literally life changing stuff. In theory I heard all of these things already, but you know, takes decades to become a musician x)

[@frankeinsteinrestoration8250]

Fair play this is a master class. Many thanks. Brilliant channel

[@hansmjakobsen6865]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT LESSON

[@feastofsteven1214]

The Doors "Love me two times" is a good practical example of using 7ths in chord progressions for popular music

[@ignatiusjackson235]

That's an excellent song, but I believe those are dominant 7ths, not major 7ths.

[@johnbrasher5156]

These literally are some gorgeous chords. I want these chords! Now, please!

Over my head...one day I will grasp the complexity of this.... What would be a good starting point? I'm grasping the circle of fifths....this is way more involved.

After finding these lessons by happenstance one evening late last week, I decided to donate via Paypay. Much better than buying a book with no instructor and trying to figure out what the lessons are supposed to sound like on guitar...

i think im still a little noob on this but its certainly impressive. After you modulated to a different key, I would have liked to hear a continued progression to hear the noticeable switch.

[@rjmarlow8229]

4:16 is literally my favorite chord progression

[@ArchAngelMikhael91]

Beautiful! Thanks a billion!

[@puvididdle]

the flats to the resolved chords, are like taking a deep breath before exhaling, or like stretching ur body before relaxing. Love it. Anyone else thinks that they give the similar emotional effect?

[@fretjamguitar]

Yes absolutely. I've also heard people describe movements as the sun rising or setting. Music seems to have this organic connection to nature, both within our body and externally. I think how music can be deduced to mathematics and physics yet create such profound reactions within the human body is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

[@tconnell1121]

very cool lesson . One question at 6:12, why C#9b5? Sounds cool but I don't see the resolution. In my way of thinking b5 dom7 chords usually resolve 1/2 step down, because they function as a tri tone sub

[@alamooji3716]

Very good

[@alamooji3716]

THANK YOU!!!

[@christianemu1969]

Great, can you see them as as borrowed chords in the traditional harmonics ?

[@fretjamguitar]

Sure, bII borrowed from Phrygian. bIII and bVI from natural minor/Aeolian. bVII from Mixolydian.

[@leofunks31]

Can someone please explain this conversation?

[@fretjamguitar]

@@leofunks31 I'll do my best but I'll probably raise more questions than answers! Each mode has its own chord sequence, based on its interval structure. So when I said bII is "borrowed" from Phrygian, that's because Phrygian's second degree is a b2 (minor 2nd) and its second degree chord a maj7. So when we use a bIImaj7 in an otherwise regular major key, we're essentially "borrowing" that 2nd degree from Phrygian. This is especially useful when thinking about scale changes for your solos, when borrowed chords are introduced. I'll be doing more on borrowed chords in the future, but the following video is a good starting point - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHuzloGPgJucfc0
