Great Melodies Using NEIGHBOR Notes [On Your Guitar]

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Do you know a song that uses neighbor notes? Post the title here!

[@zolibxl]

Incomplete chromatic upper neighbor: Metallica's Battery opens with that. And smashes every clown who ever said that chromatic upper neighbors are not okay. \m/ (Plus I dig the Return of the Whiteboard!)

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

At the moment, I can't think of even one song that *doesn't* use them. Sooo.. my answer is: _most songs?_

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

@zolixbxl: agreed!

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

@Aylbdr: If it's something used in most songs, then it's even more paramount to master it :-)

[@christopherheckman7957]

@@aylbdrmadison1051 I would suspect that most nursery rhymes don't use neighbor notes. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" only uses chord tones, for instance.

Hello! You have the most enjoyable guitar channel I know of on KZbin, and you have a rare trait for KZbin musical channels: you know how to teach. Good job!

[@Quang_guitarist]

very useful video! thanks for the lesson

[@ulfsvensson9710]

Very useful way to kick it on and get it going.

[@timsmith190]

Thanks, this concept is much easier to grasp and appreiciate when well known examples are used as you have here. As always, you present material ever mindful of how viewers learn.

[@aarondoering4613]

Again, I love the way you explain things.

I wish I could hit 'like' more than once. I liked this alot!

Going out of key blows my mind 🧠 💣

I noticed that your “both neighbor tones” example sounded incredibly familiar until I realized that Nick Cave’s “God Is In The House” starts off with almost the exact same melody line note for note! Except there’s an added E between the F and D. ;)

referencement !!!

[@Kakackle]

I guess how sexy the name sounds to you depends on what kinda relationship you have with your neighbors

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

:-)

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I knew I would find this comment if I just kept reading. lols Generally speaking, my neighbors aren't very sexy though. 😐 If they were I'd probably turn off youtube and start playing guitar.

[@christopherheckman7957]

Luckily, I wasn't drinking anything when I read that comment.

[@aarondoering4613]

My neighbors are older than I am (50) and not at all sexy seniors.

[@zipperhead101]

I was gonna 'obfuscate' the like button. But thought I would momentarily implode it instead.

[@elninojustino]

Green Dolphin street? Or is that more of a pedal note?

[@tomadshade2625]

Never been alone in a comment section before... HELLO ! ....Hello! ...... hello....hello... Edit: Thank you for the lesson btw!

4:10 Oooooooooooooooh Finalmente qualcuno lo dice :-D Ti lovvo :-D

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Sono sorpreso che altri non lo dicano :-) Non e' una cosa nuova. Persino Bach (CPE, not JS) lo menziona da qualche parte nel suo libro.

[@Trash-Beats]

Sir pls What do you be saying on intro i hear “ Heyyyllo Mrsternational nice to see you” pls correct me if I’m wrong which I think I am🤦‍♂️

[@christopherheckman7957]

(1) You misspelled "neighbor", Tommaso ... 8-) (2) "Neighbor note" is a translation from the German music theory term Nebennote, which is a bit more general. (3) "Double neighbor note" ... Why is this singular grammatically, not plural? 8-) (4) I once used the phrase "smash the like button" elsewhere, and the response was that I shouldn't endorse violence against buttons! (Really!) (5) I don't recall whether you've done a video on passing notes. Maybe that's next week's video?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

3. I don't know, but I've always seen it written singular. I thought it was a peculiarity of English. It's not like there's a lack of them... 4. Stealing this.
