After 45+ years of fighting against the basics and bludgeoning thru I am absolutely amazed at the strength of that 1/2 step and its implications. Mind blowing and seemingly so simple. Your ability to explain and demonstrate helps beyond measure. The tunneling a finger under the chord shape to reveal the notes? That was one the best things I have ever seen! Bravo

Best lessons on the internets. Has there ever been any studies about the Guidonian hand for singers and it's impact on guitar playing? I never sang in my life so it's not something I understand, but with the centuries of use by singers it must be hard wired into our psyche.

I love how Hans Zimmer uses the major scale in the Man of Steel theme (What Are You Going To Do When You're Not Saving The World). It's very simple yet powerful. Take a listen if you haven't yet. You can literally hear how he outlines the root with the intervals like how you did here. Great lesson.

Another great lesson that's all take-home pay whoever you are as a musician. Tension and resolution... Tempo and phrasing play into this too, staying right on the beat or getting there early or late intentionally as another way to create tension then resolve it. But mainly the sound and emotion comes from what we do pitchwise with 3rds and 7ths. Other intervals too but mainly those. Chris uses the classic public speaking method for max short-term impact that you can take straight to your own situation: 1) Intro- Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em. 2) Message- Tell 'em. 3) Conclusion- Tell 'em what you told 'em. Overall lesson that I take away: what we do with the 3rd and 7th, whether in lines or chordally in progressions, has the most powerful effect on how music makes you feel and what you want to hear next as it unfolds and "moves forward." I'm open to criticism and correction about that if anyone disagrees or can add something useful. Discussing these things is how we all get better. Peace and Merry Christmas!

@curiousguitarist
@curiousguitarist 2 жыл бұрын
You would be absolutely correct! Any dominant chord (including secondarys) contains this exact same function, and as a secondary it FORCES that context into your brain...it makes you believe you are hearing the V chord from "somewhere" and that allows you to hear that next target chord as a resolution...the 7 to 1 and the 4 to 3 of that new chord.

Tension and release was an aha moment for me. When I first tried to write simple melodies, I assumed that all notes were supposed to sound good. I quickly discovered how powerful this technique is. Also, secondary dominants produce great melodies such as Hotel California and People of Israel. Great lesson.
