Hearing Chord Changes-Lesson 2: Minor and 7th Chords

[@rebeccamouse9294]

I love the red, pink, orange explanation! That will make this much easier for me. Thank you for posting this unique approach.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

That has worked for a lot of folks over the years, glad you found it useful as well

[@Genetherapy3232]

Talk about helping someone get to that first Ah ha moment on theory. Thank you. I’m looking for a banjo instructor in Michigan. Hope I find someone as professional as you. Your pace is awesome. Now I have my guitars out I’m supposed to be practicing banjo. :)

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

I've done a number of videos on theory as it relates to playing banjo and bluegrass, they're under the "Music Theory & Concepts" playlist on my channel.

[@Genetherapy3232]

@@EddieCollinsMusic I found them. Thank you:)

[@michaellandreth1392]

Great lesson. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much. I know it takes time to do this stuff.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Glad you found us, too. Thanks.

[@mitchzeitz]

Fantastic lesson...I'll have to rewatch it a few times to get it all, but thanks for doing this.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Hope you'll be able to apply it to your own playing soon.

[@JoshJorg44]

As someone who is trying to learn to play bluegrass music, I want to not only learn how to hear the chords but also understand what notes to play over each chords and how to build licks that Play Over the chord changes and actually understand why I'm doing it

[@SKOVDEPETE]

Nice presentation. i like your singing along with the explaining/playing just slow enough to both follow and understand. Thank You so much 🙂

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Thanks for the useful feedback. I agree, hearing things in real world examples brings it home better for most folks.

[@clayfuller9437]

Good stuff Eddie! I’m gonna have to watch this more than once!

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Be thinking what you'd be playing on bass as you go.

[@JoshJorg44]

Thank you, I really love the way you explain things. As you brought up B minor I remembered I just started learning how to play Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb that starts off in a B minor. I believe the key though is in G, but it's kind of an odd song because it starts off with a B minor and I believe it ends on a d. But it uses chords b minor, g, e minor, d ,A and C

Great lesson.Thank you Eddie. Please will you one time give us a tuturiel for banjo rythmen in reaggie. I only find awsome rythmen from Travis Stine in you tou,but he doesen't teach. Do you know who can if you don't,please have you a link? I 'll learn a sing freedom reaggie songs.I love it.Thanke you from my heard🥰😍😊Josef from Germany.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Josef, I don't really play any Reggae music myself on banjo, but will let you know if I come across something.

[@josefdetzer8717]

@@EddieCollinsMusic Great Eddie,I'm in hope someone will teach,because there are some songs about peace,love and about don't worry for my soul. I love to sing about freedom for people.Thanks you from.my heart.🪕🥰

[@hollydoodle]

Thank you SO MUCH! I am going to practice this technique because I LOVE to jam but having soneone tell me what key a song was in never did any good because I wasn't able to figure out ...."which chord came next".

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Holly, improving your ability to hear changes will make your jamming a lot more fun. Be sure to catch lesson one of that and then also the two videos I did on the Circle of 5ths...I do it in such a way that it shouldn't be the scary experience that some folks make it out to be. Good luck!

[@susanmiller9596]

Any further lessons planned? Retry please

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

Nothing currently in the works, but I do have ideas for future videos.

[@Bascomblodge]

What a great lesson. It is all practical and theory also. One question: what does it mean to "harmonize the scale". thanks so much for sharing.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

When you stack a note a 3rd and a 5th above any note in the scale. That will form the naturally occurring triad of that chord.

[@Bascomblodge]

@@EddieCollinsMusic Thank you.

[@rebeccamouse9294]

Do you have any videos that provide quizzes or practice drills?

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

No, but that is an excellent idea.

[@mjrmandor1136]

Is there a easy way to make a 3 finger g7? Thanks

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

The one I like is fret 4 on string 4, fret 3 on string 3 and fret 5 on string 2. It doesn't have the G root, but has all the other notes and gets the job done.

[@buzzerking]

Got 1 out of 3 on the color test. Yeah I still have trouble with this.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

It does take a lot of reps to get it, but once you do, your jamming is so much better!

[@rebeccamouse9294]

I tried to tip you, but the PayPal link is not working.

[@EddieCollinsMusic]

It is working on my end, not sure what's going on there. It should take you to a screen where you have a choice to "request" or "send." You want to choose send at that point. I appreciate your efforts.

[@rebeccamouse9294]

@@EddieCollinsMusic yes it said it was not working. I’ll try to take a screenshot later and see if I can post it so you can see it. I literally gave a train to catch right now, though. Maybe it was temporary. I have been in a place with horrible broadband coverage. Maybe it was due to the inadequate network.
