As the one electric guitar in our band, this directly applies to my job once again! The musical genre/style, the progression simplicity, the need on my part to supply hooks backing an acoustic player (and we play a lot of songs in B). The learning continues . . . I'll be watching for the course. 🎸

So tasteful and always inside the song, i get a lot from your work, thanks from the UK!

When you started playing I forgot about chords, progression and intro and verse. Simple but elegant. Above all very musical.🎶

I love what you did for the bridge part. Moving it up the neck assisted the lift of the bridge. So smooth and perfect. Another excellent lesson. Thank you!

Sweet everything, sweet tone, sweet chords. Sweet everything. I hope your course includes how to make great music with the basics like this. So many of us would be so happy with this approach.

I love your illustration at the beginning. I find that when I try to do a solo that I’m unprepared for, I fall back to the same old “box”. It’s a lot like saying “um” and “uh” a lot when speaking.

Without hearing the vocal, this feels like a mid-late 90s or even a bit later “Adult Contemporary”/Alternative track. Something on VH1, but not MTV, if that makes sense. Very nice.

Speaking of sus chords - my first experience ( and realization ) of using sus chords is the start of the song 'Midnight Blue' by Foreigner. Rocking between C and Csus4 followed by single F then G triads - kind of like a call and response thing. So many songs with sus chords that sound so damn COOL. Good video Justin. Interesting bridge to the song. Funny how you referenced 'Black Dog' and mentioned all the good parts that make it recognizable 👍👍 I'm a Led Zep fan too. From Downunder, Australia.

Hey Justin, Yours is one of my favorite channels on the U. I also like NIcky V's channel and as such suggested to Nicky you guys brainstorm some content for us. What do you think? From an outside perspective you both ride in the similar lane in many respects and I believe y'all could come up with some great stuff, schedules willing. I recognize you're promoting your thing right now just thinking out loud. Either way I'm invested and looking forward to your course. Best, Donny

Wow, that Tele tone is so good! I’m curious if any Nashville players are using the new Fender Cobalt Chrome pickups in their Teles? I just too a $500 punt on them cause my bridge pickup died and I’m loving them so far. Very unique tone. Kinda surprised I’m not seeing major players using them 🤷🏻‍♂️

The chord progression is not the problem. The 1-6-4-5 chord progression and variants are popular for a reason.

Yes I do tune down quite often. I use mostly 10s. 11s on my goldtop and Senn guitars. 10s on everything else currently.

I don't think I V VI VI (and variants thereof) are the ONLY problem, but they are part of the problem. The musical and harmonic palette is so large, why restrict oneself? What would be a more dynamic musical experience over the length of an album or concert? A set or tracklist with all I V VI VI, or one where there are other chord sequences interspersed so that monotony doesn't pervade? But everyone will have varied tolerances for the balance of familiar/unfamiliar, I suppose. All that said, this was a tasteful arrangement of acoustic and electric, given the material provided.

@JustinOstrander 4 ай бұрын

It may just be that songs with this kind of harmonic structure are extremely popular right now. If you listen to an entire album by the same artist, it’s not that their whole record sounds like this, but it really does seem that if you make a collection of the single most popular song from all these modern artists, that pile of songs *does* largely contain some variant of this progression. It’s just super popular with listeners (who, I must remind myself, are largely not musicians themselves) and has been for almost 30 years. Still not as much staying power as the 12-bar blues. Some of my favorite records are solely that progression.

Hey Justin, great work and advice about coming up with parts. I have to disagree with you a little regarding the way songs are structured. It's true almost every era of music had a formula. I would argue popular music of the '60s and '70s were much less so because popular music was strictly into defined silos. I'm a little older. But it wasn't uncommon to hear everything from Jim Croce to the OJays, to Glen Campbell to Procol Harum, to Gladys Knight and the Pips, in THE SAME HOUR. Yes, there were fads. For example, all the family acts, The Jackson 5, The Osmonds (basically the white version of The Jackson 5) The Defranco Family, The Partridge Family (even though they weren't actually a family) Sister Sledge a little later, but you get the point. My issue with the current batch is not just recycling the chord progressions, but also the melodies, the vocal style, the production. For me, the first 3 are the most egregious. There's nothing about that that 1-5-6-4 progression that grabs my attention. In fact, that's what makes me tune out. To be fair, that happens for me with the Blues too, if it's just a straight ahead 12-bar format. But there are a lot of other blues songs that connect with people. Ain't No Sunshine, by Bill Withers, comes to mind. I didn't want this to sound so much like 'In my day...' but I guess it did.😂 Anyway, I just find this style of writing too predictable. Don't get me wrong, there's LOTS of good, new writing out there. Billie Eilish, Anderson Pak, Madison Cunningham, just to name a few. Which shows that it's possible. That's why I have trouble with 'lowest common denominator' writing. It could be so much better. A song like Somebody I Used to Know stands out because it's different than everything else. Anyway, sorry about the long rant. I promised myself I wouldn't do that anymore, but here I am. P.S. Yes, I am a songwriter. So, I know how difficult it is to try to find your own sound without sounding like the flavour of the day. If you'd like to hear some of my stuff, not for public consumption, but rather just to see if I'm full of it or not, I'd be happy to share a link to my small SoundCloud library. I only have a couple of albums, but there are quite a few more that haven't been recorded. Maybe I'll fix that some day.
