How to Connect Guitar Chords with Scales

[@brackenquinton2955]

This guy seriously needs more subscribers. One of the greatest teachers on KZbin.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Bracken, I'll keep it up!

[@sky.virgo2420]

i agree...damn if only i can let him tutor me personally i would'nt be struggling this much..

[@RahulKumar-lo3op]

Nice Video! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Blossoming Solo Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for mastering guitar scales minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my work colleague finally got astronomical results with it.

[@mragunathan1627]

im only 2:30 seconds in and i subscribed, clear and concise, brilliant.

[@abramhernandez1216]

So true bro...

[@daaku176]

Just came across your channel, newer guitar player here, 8months or so, and I've been trying to figure out how to apply scales, and after asking an instructor several times with no luck, I stopped bothering with lessons. This is exactly what i was looking for. This will give all those basic chords the flourish I've been needing on songs. Thank you.

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear! I'm happy to help!

OMG!!! I have had such a hard time understanding guitar scales until I found you. You make learning so easy and interesting. I learned the blues scale in box form last night and couldn't put down my guitar. And you teach FULL lessons. You don't give me a teaser and then want me to pay for your online lessons. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Keep those lessons coming.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks Lynn! I'll keep em coming!

[@bbabbit89]

I feel like what sets this apart from other you tube lessons is that he is very good at explaining himself, where most people just say "this is how its done" but don't either understand or explain the "why" like Sean does. Excellent!

[@seandaniel23]

+Brandon Babbit Thanks so much Brandon! :)

Omg, I feel like my entire guitar playing has been unlocked and upgraded from this video, your channel is amazing. I'm learning guitar now and the content on your channel is just perfect. I'm taking the approach of acquiring the proper fundamentals instead of just learning songs and you offer that in amazing way. Thanks a lot!

[@seandaniel23]

So glad it's helpful!

[@roynotintown]

Man this lesson of yours is an absolute treasure for any guitar enthusiasist. Today I understood the importance of scales. With this now I can take my guitar practice to the next level. Thank you so much mate. You just earned a subscriber🤗

[@utumap1204]

Sometimes too much information is a hinder to learning how to play the guitar, but you explain it in clear instructions.

[@Wolfedtw]

Been playing for about a year now and learning by watching youtube videos.. and felt like I was at a point stuck progressing forward, and I must say.. excellent video, very clearly explained difficult concepts I'm sure.. and I'm now excited to continue working at this and further progressing. Thank you.

I have been listening off and on today. Dude, you are good ! I've been playing for years and gotten modestly good . Anyone that can play guitar can hear that special talent. Love it !

+BIG66GEE That's great to hear! Thanks for watching.

[@seanenglish3002]

What a great lesson! It seems obvious now that you have explained it, but I never got it before. You are such a good teacher.

[@shieldedsoldier]

Hey, I have been playing guitar since I was 13, I taught myself everything i know, which basically consists of me playing basic chords like, G, C, D, Dm, Bm, A, Am, E, Em... that's about it. I was looking at your channel, and you teach amazingly, but it all goes over my head, I think I'm watching your videos out of order or there is just a brick wall that I have hit with my guitar skills. I haven't been able to break it or get past just playing basic chords. I'm just trying to figure out my next step or few. Thank you.

SINCERLY, THIS IS USEFUL. NOT THOSE BULLSHITT YOU SEE IN KZbin. THIS. PLEASE, DO MORE OF THIS. THIS.

[@tlong2374]

Reading the comments, I noticed that you answer questions, and thank people. You're one of few that I've seen on KZbin that takes the time to do this. That added to the amazing teaching style you bring is incredible. Thank You for all you do...

Wow music theory always seemed difficult whenever I tried to learn it, I knew my scales but only the shapes really and kinda what sounded good or cool in them. I have watched four of your videos and everything just clicked! Seriously good job you could make a living doing this.

[@kidblackie4626]

This is one of the most astonishing things I've learned on. I never understood how, why, and what this meant. It opened up so much for me. This tells you how to go from hitting random notes to entering the sea of theory and making really good peices of music. Fill, Riffs, etc.

Pff hearing that explanation is just mind blowing i've been through so many videos on KZbin trying to memorize the hundreds of chords. But just seeing you working on the first 3-4 tabs and make such a nice music, Is just amazing, I guess i'll need to spend a bit more time to learn that theory.

[@gmanmanning277]

So many teachers do not know how to answer this question. It took me forever to figure it out . Where the hell were you when I needed you. Oh that's right not born yet...Lol... Great lessons and quick answers and thank god you are correctly microphoned up so I can here what you are saying. I have subscribed so I can now teach my teacher what I pay him for.

Sean Daniel yessss and I have shown a few videos of urs to my teacher as well..and I like your style of teaching..this lesson is brilliant!!I have asked this connection without satisfactory explanation..just got a single word answer "it's improvisation"which was obviously not what I wanted to know..till I hit upon this lesson..and knew instantly it's called connecting a chord with its scale or as you call walking through the chords..thanks "shaun"..keep up the awesomeness..

[@fredblues4250]

so what you are saying is that you can use the scale of the key you are in to connect the chords that are in the same key

[@seandaniel23]

Absolutely!

[@raphII2]

I was thinking about that, since I'm a beginner and I'm teaching myself through the internet I was wondering how to find a way to make my playing more interesting, I knew how to do some things with the D, G, C,Am and a couple of other chords, but now I know what I'd been doing, THANKS MAN!! You kind of threw me in the intermediate zone, I can do bar chords just fine and I know a couple of scales and I've been playing for five months, my biggest improvements have been the last three weeks :) I'm getting a huge confidence boost at the moment thanks to you and a couple other people on youtube :)

[@seandaniel23]

+Raph ll That's so awesome to hear! Yeah once you have the dexterity to play bar chords, there's really nothing holding you back physically from achieving anything. Definitely keep looking into the theory and stuff behind chords and scales and you'll keep improving. Congrats on the progress! Keep it up!

[@CodeNashor]

These videos are so valuable. I learn so much more from your/Sean's videos than from any other. It helps so so much to understand guitar playing. I have basically two questions related to this tho. I hope anyone understands them and can answer them :P. So here is what i know: This video is based on the Key of C major. Natural chords of C major are C Dm Em F G Am (Bdim). Minor counter scale of C major is A minor. 1. Does this mean you are basically using only notes from the C Major/ A Minor sale to connect chords? 2. Let's say I have then opened or connected to a new section where I am playing an Em chord. Can I then use all the notes from the E minor scale to add some flavor/ melody to the song or is it advisable to still only use notes from the C major scale to add flavor? I know you can do basically anything you want in music so I am asking from a harmonic rule based standpoint. Thanks!!

[@kartik8704]

For me, this has been such a block for such a long time. Your videos are so liberating, I can't thank you enough! It's like I knew these concepts but I needed someone to walk me through weaving them together! P.S. reposting this comment because I had mistakenly left it on another video
