Ok, been watching your vids. They're good. To cover the multiple ways of learning, it would be *super helpful* if you could add the sounds of what you're stating and showing (instead of a "blip" sound), so there may be an audible connection to the words and pictures. Thanks for your hard work!

[@gemaf]

I had a music teacher who drilled theory into my head. Years later I am so happy he did. For those of you who did not get formal training I highly recommend this video. It is streamlined for perfect understanding. If you need to, break it down into sections. Thank you to the professor behind this lesson.

[@AndrewSacoman]

This channel is criminally underrated. One of the most straightforward approaches I’ve ever seen. All your channel content is so clear, well laid out, and easy to follow other creators should be jealous. Keep it up I’m learning loads.

[@Samjamguitar]

Glad you think so!

[@Snarkapotamus]

This is SO much easier for keyboard players! I've played keys and guitar for 50-years now and what you've described is actually pretty trivial once it's shown in context. It's when you have to contort your hands into unnatural positions on the guitar that this becomes REALLY difficult! For a keyboardist, it's a piece of cake...

[@Scrub_Lord-en7cq]

50!?

[@Snarkapotamus]

@@Scrub_Lord-en7cq - Actually, it's about to be 51...started in 1972!

[@SteveMeiers]

Funny thing, as a guitar player, I have the same contortion issues about playing keyboard. Especially regarding the visual aspect and transposing. It's so so much easier on guitar, IMHO. As long as I'm playing in C or G (and maybe A) piano is great fun. I've come this far, so what's with those horn players and that whole Bb thing? Talk about a guitarist nightmare? Until you tune down two frets, problem solved. Can't do that (easily) on a wooden piano tho. Rant over. What a cool channel and batch of videos on chord theory!

[@Snarkapotamus]

@@SteveMeiers - Keyboard layouts are consistent from end to end. The B string screws up that consistency on guitar...

[@SteveMeiers]

@@Snarkapotamus - Some players are tuning in all 4ths now to solve that. That's also what I love about mandolin tho. You got me on that one.

[@Junior-es7mu]

Fe so many teacher complicate this , I fully understood how all this works now

[@aa.mirezZ]

I can NOT believe I NEVER thought to apply this strategy to the major scale. If you base it off of the major scale positions on both strings (E and A) you can create the chords across the neck on all strings and experiment with different chord voicing’s/inversions. Thank you so much! This was eye opening

[@Samjamguitar]

no probs!

[@ThatkidthatpwnsXP]

@@Samjamguitar Don't worry, it shows! I really enjoyed your presentation. You've got pretty much (Well, in my opinion ha) the perfect blend of humour to keep it entertaining. Dry dead pan delivery with bizarre stock images is a surefire laugh from me. But moreover your voice is also just calm and pleasant as narration. I'm really green in the music world and I'm still coming to grips with even basic theory, so this did great job demystifying chord construction for me, which previously seemed like 50% black magic. The sound effects, animations, and repeated guided breakdowns of the chord formulas made it all really easy to follow along with. Still, by the end I had trouble keeping all the new information together, so I'm gonna have to do a few repeat viewings as you recommended haha. For sure going to watch more of your videos!

[@Samjamguitar]

[@johnjohnson3709]

Every guitar player should learn theory. I learned it and it has helped me. As you said, you don’t have to memorize any of this. I never did but I know the whole neck of my guitar.

This is the absolute best guitar lesson video I have ever watched

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks Lori! I really appreciate it!!

[@virtualnuke-bl5ym]

Wow. 5 years ago when I joined my high school's jazz band as a guitarist, I had never even seen a single chord symbol in my life. Triangles... circles... sharp this, add that, omit this... i was completely lost. I had to make Flashcards for every single chord on every song we played for 6 months until I could actually keep up with the band. I didn't understand the theory behind it at the time. I just learned one shape at one spot for each chord, which did make jumping around the fretboard really hard! But man. Those 6 months of brutal practice for hours and hours every day could've been condensed into maybe a month or less if I had this video. Awesome job!

[@edwardpurkis6432]

I cannot add anything to the other comments here. No superlatives adequately describe the clarity and usefulness of this lesson. I have listened to jazz musicians spelling chords and despaired of ever understanding the theory. I read music fairly well - enough to sight read a song accompaniment on the piano. I am however compelled to add my comment just out of gratitude- in short, you sir Rock! Thank you!

[@Samjamguitar]

Many thanks!

[@wyatthegyatt]

Honestly, this video is absolutely great for beginner-intermediate players. Instead of spending hours searching for each of the individual chord shape, this video covers the essentials. Great video

[@MementoTurtle]

Here are some key points and takeaways from the chord theory video for notes or revisiting, im doing this for myself and to potentially help viewers: Chord formulas show the intervals that make up a chord relative to the root note (e.g. major triad = 1 3 5) Triads are 3 note chords built from major/minor thirds and fifths (major, minor, augmented, diminished) Seventh chords add a seventh interval to triads (major 7, minor 7, dominant 7) Suspended chords replace the third with a second or fourth (sus2, sus4) Ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth chords add those extensions to seventh chords Chord names tell you the formula (e.g. Gmaj7 = G major triad + maj 7 interval) Extensions come from continuing the major scale (9=2nd, 11=4th, 13=6th) Omit non-essential notes like 5ths and 9ths when building big chords Altered chords have b5, #5, b9, #9 intervals to create dissonance Key Takeaways: Learn chord formulas and intervals to build any chord Decode chord names to understand their structure Stack 3rds, 7ths, and extensions to form more complex chords Omit non-essential notes when playing big chords on guitar

[@navjotsingh7360]

Now I have watched this video twice with obviously watching some sections repeatedly. I hope to watch it twice more.

[@Samjamguitar]

Fantastic! Thank you for watching repeatedly!

[@digs-]

I now realize why knowing your scales is so important. Super helpful

[@MusiciansReflib]

True, but when it comes to building chords you only need the major scale. All chord formulas, ever, are applied to major scales, Only.

I found this video very helpful, especially when naming unusual chord voicings on guitar. There was a song a friend wrote that used a open G grip up two frets (from low E to high e strings the frets would be 5-4-0-0-0-5). I now know this would be referred to as an A11 chord as it contains scale degrees 1 3 b7 9 and 11.

This is probably the easiest and fastest way to lean all chords with no tears. This teaching method is stunning by its simplicity and visuals. Congratulations to the creators! Greetings from 🇵🇦

As a professional writer, I'm impressed with your concision - you have a lot of information in seventeen minutes, it could serve as an introduction to harmony. My earnest congratulations, sir, as a technical writer, I bow to your instructional skills.

Many thanks! And welcome to the channel!!

Fantastic and incredibly useful piece. So easy to slip into "shapes" and learn nothing when it comes to arpeggios & chords!

[@Samjamguitar]

Couldn't agree more!

[@bradders5974]

absolutely top class lesson. Clear, well-paced and to the point. Thank you for demystifying. I will watch many (many!) times.

[@Samjamguitar]

Thanks! It's much appreciated!

Concise and complete for all intents and purposes! Gave me hope for the first time I’ve actually understanding this! Thank you!!

This is by far the best lesson I’ve ever watched about this subject. It helps a lot, it’s just so good and well explained. I’m recommending this to my friends!

[@Samjamguitar]

Wow, thank you! Be sure to check out my other Lessons also...plenty more where that came from👍

This video, combined with the CAGED and arpeggio videos, are incredible. I've played since my teens on and off but never really got to any place substantial. At the start of October I've decided to try again, coming back from a 10 year hiatus. Internet access is a lot easier now so I'm able to look things up far more easily. I'm starting CAGED but finding it a bit overwhelming. These videos really cut out the bullshit and get to the point, I love that. I'll be able to take some notes and start with the E and D shapes and appropriate scales as you've stated elsewhere. Thanks again for your top notch teaching method.

[@Samjamguitar]

Much appreciated 👌

This here is top notch "Golden Video"... Thank you for taking the time to explain the formulas for chords. The way you've layed it out to understand is inspiring, and simply superb.
