Why not show the strings your playing and I not your friend but a fellow musician!

[@hectorheath]

William Jones A "fellow musician" then why can't you work out what "strings his player" ?

[@hailtz]

Why do you say "ti" instead of "si"? :/ whish there was an international standard for musical nomenclature

[@Khylcool]

Genuinely thank you so much😭😭😭😭

[@triggerhare]

I’m a player for thirty years and an instructor for 10 and this explanation IS mind blowing. Crazy easy. Why didn’t I put two and two together

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you my friend 🙌

[@distractedgarage1801]

I have heard the "down 3 half steps" thing a hundred times , never explained this way, the info was all tied together to mean something other than random info THANK YOU I finally get it 45 yrs later

[@robertcress2109]

Wish I could afford to sit down with you everyday for a week, that would be mind blown. But I love these little free sessions thanks Eric

[@LisaSauls]

Just got an early Xmas present from my guitar Santa. What timing Erich. Will wonders ever cease. Thanks for enlightening my practice. This is getting fun. whoo hoo. Blessings to you and yours and Godspeed always.

[@leisharay5247]

Hi I have wanted to play the guitar for the last 30 years and always got downhearted with the progress that I made With tutors here in England. I have just spent the last 45 minutes watching your strumming video and basic finger Picking amongst others and can honestly say that I have learnt more in the last 45 minutes than I have in all the lessons I have had over the years . I look forward to watching more of your videos and hopefully playing sometime I the near future. Thank you Jon

[@canadianintheukbrian]

I have been like a boat on the ocean without a rudder since I started playing just over a year, but I just did not want to learn a song put your fingers here etc I wanted to learn the guitar as much as i could in my middle 50's , these videos have really open it up and gave me direction, I now have a rudder :) , thanks !!

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you my friend 🙌

I gave this a thumbs up a few months ago even though it didn't completely click - too bad I can't give it another now that it does. Thanks man - you really make a difference.

Thanks Erich! Very well explained, and certainly a useful tool, for any guitarist..

Hey Erich. Finally I understand what is relative major and minor. Now when I continue your 365 course I can understand whats going on. Mind blown. Thank you

[@Dubhghaill]

Thank you... also found that the pattern changes Like with the key of D and the DIM CHORD is in a different spot......... much appreciated...

Not the only video showing this concept, but, by far, the best explanation and lesson. Thank you!! Tim

[@thinkquestionlearn9789]

Thanks you’re an amazing teacher!

[@tbx2535]

I’m aware this a year late but this trick also works for when your learning to solo through pentatonic scales , the same rules apply by going down 3 frets to get to minor

[@PolarisTradingGroup]

Hi Erich...This video is perhaps the single biggest "light-bulb" moment for me! My mind is truly "blown-away"...The Big Picture is becoming clearer with every session.Thanks for all you do to teach aspiring guitarists...David

So...if I'm playing in C and drop down 3 1/2 steps I move to C's A minor. Am I also in position for A major?

[@nyuydinejohnlavnge323]

That is wonderful. I have been looking for this type of trick for a long long time. Thanks for this. Please, can you do another video that will demonstrate all major keys and relative minors? waiting.

[@rjp63vip789]

Eric I'm a bit confused concerning diminished chords. I know it's because I'm a totally beginner when it comes to guitar and to make it more muddy I'm learning to play the Guitarlele. Now I know from watching your videos and a few others that the Guitarlele chords are a fourth higher than the guitar chords. Being a keyboard player I am use to playing diminished chords but on the keyboard there's basically three. Diminished chords so I thought on guitar it would be the same. I love that there's only one diminished chord. Simple is best! Anyways help! And again I love your channel and I would love to see you do Guitarlele tutorials and giveaways!

[@Jexmusic]

Well done, I’ve watched many advanced guitar tutorials on KZbin and I understood how you explained! Thumbs up

[@andyl3933]

Of course -it’s so obvious - but some reason 30 plus years of playing and I never saw the ii and iii chords like this. Sure I IV V and 3 frets back from I is relative miner (iv) but never even came close to seeing the ii and iii. Thanks much !!

[@yourguitarsage]

Thank you Andy

[@Muzammilalii]

But sir i wanted to know that how do you grab that note C i mean how do you know that string on that fret is C. ???

[@bobbymarino]

i see what your playing, and the 3 half step movement to make it maj or min. ...but i dont understand the relevance or how u apply it to something? ..and why are they called the numbers they are.. 6th 2,3 and 1, 4,5 ?? confused :/

Have been playing guitar for 10 years but really lazy with my scales. I can guess but it was never clear cut to me as it is now! Thank you for blowing my mind 👍

[@chatter7653]

Does jazz and those wild chord substitutions still base construction off that same major scale? If so, is the choice of when and where to substitute major or minor chords from that major scale with jazzier chords done purely by user discretion?

[@yourguitarsage]

For the most part, they are still based around this structure that are often extended meaning sevenths, ninths, 11ths and 13ths, etc. are added. Then there’s just playing whatever the ear wants to hear. Nothing wrong with that as well. There is a natural structure to music but one does not have to follow it either. 👍

[@jeffmyname2211]

love the video very helpful but doesnt a minor key have a different set of chords would this meathod still work if you just changed the tonality of the chords? (i.e playing the 2nd as a dim instead of minor and the 7th chord as a dom7)

[@andyhendershotrealestate]

How can you go down 3 half steps to use this method if you're playing in F Major on the first fret?

[@eross21]

ok so we found the major and minor chords in the fretboard here. so how would you solo with the process in this video?

[@kristenprosen9238]

Amazing!

[@p.pentatonic4309]

[@simmonphoenix3206]

So someone correct me? When he goes up three half steps to the minor chord are you laying down the middle finger to make a full bar chord?? I can’t tell if it’s just floating or an active note.

[@UNCLEBUFF]

If I understand Your Question? The Relative Minor Chord is (3) I/2 steps Down from Major at 1/2 step increments Which is one Fret Down... (3 )1/2 steps from Major is the 6th position of a major scale...And Yes You Take Off The Middle finger for That Minor Chord But the on ... the 2 two and 3 three chords in minor your middle finger is down, Hope You Know Chord Shapes & I hoped that helped you ...

[@trevorkenward7661]

Please sir, can you tell me what make that beautiful guitar of yours is?

[@yourguitarsage]

B&G Little Sister 👍

[@trevorkenward7661]

YourGuitarSage Thank you. It is lovely. I have guitar envy...

[@jamesjosephsewell1094]

i figured out the other day that minor scales are just the major scale with the tonal center being the 6th. So if im on e string 5th fret is A, then instead of playing the first shape of major, i would play the sixth shape of the major scale and that would get me started on A minor

[@yourguitarsage]

👍🤗

[@lesteratkinson5161]

How do the sharp chords fit in here?

[@henriquegberbari]

idk if you’ll answer this, but i need to know! so, no matter what chord i choose, if i go 3 half steps of it, ill get the minor of it, and as follows? so if i have a standard G, in the second and third frats, and i lower it to the the 6th and 7th, I have a G minor? Im almost sure im wrong, but if Im right, it will mean I understood everything ahahahah

[@Penguinn_0.o_]

Thank you very much sir, for your lesson. I've been playing shit around 6 years without any knowledge.

[@山姆sting]

谢谢 老师，你解决了很大的困惑！

[@anthonyharasimowicz8452]

This was very helpful but maybe you or somebody in this group of comments that really understood this lesson could help me with something?? I totally got the 1-4-5- Major chord deal which means your 2-3-6- are minor with you Dim7th in there. I understand how you can play in the key of, let's say, A (1), drop to the 4th degree of the scale to get your D and E. Then you can simply find your minor chords by taking three steps backwards to find your 6th degree of the A major scale (F#minor) drop right under that to find your Bminor and Cminor. You can also say that the A is minor to start and go three steps up the neck to find your major chords.....I think I have that pretty well down. However, how would this trick work say if you chose to play in G major NOT ON THE LOW E but instead on the A string with the G being your root....How would you use this trick or tool to find your 4th and fifth major chords if you want to go from the G5 or better yet the Gmajor chord to your next C5 or Cmajor chord.....D and so on?? I also understand the concept of a perfect 5th lacking a minor or major quality to it. Just trying to figure things out with major and minor chords.
