[@brianbirsa9767]

Sean, man... I've been watching tons of beginner theory videos hoping that over time I'll absorb enough that it will all start to come together and make sense. Every now and then, one will come along and suddenly, zing! I get it. This was one of those videos. I only have to hear something 32 times for it to make sense... No seriously, the way you presented it in a completely practical manner on the fretboard was a huge help. Thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear it made sense!!! Keep rockin

[@justinedwards9123]

I’m just… wow. In two lessons you taught me triads in the first three strings in any key and now I have intervals and inversions on the bass strings… Months of practice in practically twenty minutes of videos. And your attitude…. Is addictive. This hippy is willing to learn good sir!

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

Never trust the hippies and intervals are your best friend. Words to live by. Best lesson on intervals I've ever seen. Well done.

[@jacob1151]

Hands down, your videos are the best I've found on KZbin. I've been taking a college music theory course this year, but incorporating all the theory into my guitar playing has been a bit of a challenge for me. I've made leaps and bounds because of your explanations. Thank you!

[@JaysonT1]

@@seandaniel23 Question. In this video, we are in the key of C major. Now, I know that the 2nd and 6th chords are commonly minor. What I don't understand is when you are showing why the D is minor (minor 3rd note), why do you use a D scale to explain it? This is C major so shouldn't the explanation be found somewhere in the C scale? Of course you are going to find a D minor chord in the D minor scale.

[@andrewd1788]

thanks sean, this video was another breakthrough moment for me

[@Distantmoores]

Thank you Sean Daniel. This old fart appreciates this, and every lesson video I've watched you produce. You stay on subject, laser focused, teaching us what you started out to do. I didn't know an interval from an outer-val, but now I know what an interval is and how to use them. Wow, great lesson and again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and that great Irish humor you so skillfully share!

Really enjoy your videos. I've been playing guitar for about two years now and because of you and other youtubers I've definitely noticed improvement so thank you.

[@j.c.lipseymusic884]

Very, very interesting concept on whittling down or “trimming away” the pieces of a chord (any chord!) with relation to how it happens on a useful, musical way. I’ve always been just a “cowboy chord” strummer with a few barre chords thrown in. However, this opens up new ways to improve your dynamics of singing over a chord progression (chorus vs. verses in a song). Example: a song that I am learning right now, has a “bridge” (these happen a lot) which is not really a complete “verse” on its own, but it’s not part of the “chorus” either. The “bridge” is a momentary diversion (?), usually only a few bars, that connect the various verses back to the chorus (laymen’s explanation). Anyway, this lesson will help me figure out how to play the bridge (it’s a palm muted, two string (interval) progression that is different from the rest of the “open, full chord” strumming that happens throughout the rest of the song. I’m excited to delve into this more so I can “figure out” intervals all over the neck. Thanks man!

@@seandaniel23 Some of learning music is rote memorization, unfortunately.

[@cammartin9551]

I used song intros when learning intervals like ... Under the bridge - Maj 3rd Oh darling - Perfect 5th Put your records on - Aug 4th / Dim 5th (depending on your outlook on life) Somewhere over the rainbow - Maj 7th Common People - Perfect 4th Give me novacaine - Maj 6th The best way i've found is through recognisable riffs ... like Come Together, YYZ, Higher Ground, Sir Duke ... @Ritesh Rawat if you don't have the patience to do it the 'boring' way, this might help @Sean Daniel your videos are great

[@hassansadiq155]

Great explanation. I was just going through the theory stuff and was not sure as to where intervals can be used. You video helped a lot. Thank you

[@mussman717word]

As a hippie in peace and love with intervals, I object to that opening story!

[@JonnyKaine]

ha! truth. I get the stereotype he's talking about and I've known some like that, but I've also known a lot of people that might be called "hippies" that are really into geeky stuff (including music theory.)

[@patrickmickey]

Having been in the class of 67 I got to know a lot of people who may have been identified by the "hippie" label. Most times they were very different from each other. Rebel Youth Culture or Beat Subculture is better I think. There are many labels like that. I wanted to point out that there were a great many people who might identify or be identified with these labels but there weren't really that many hippies who played guitar, except maybe in California. I like Sean's lessons - out of site.

So great to hear, thanks for reaching out!

[@seanenglish3002]

Question. I love your explanation of how chords can follow the scale. The A to Cm, going up a third. Understood. Your next example was B-Dm-A-Cm. This one has me confused. In order to keep to the theme or key, shouldn't the third chord move back to Ab or Bb and the fourth chord selected as previously described? It seems like the B-Dm defines the movement as major but when you move back from the B to the A (or Dm to A) you are making a move from the B to the flatted 7 and that is minor. It sounds great to me. But I feel like there was something deeper going on there. I am having trouble figuring out the key signature for that chord progression. As always, any advice greatly appreciated.

[@pedropolanco8576]

Great video! Just one thing: I don't think there is such thing as a perfect second, as there is such thing as a minor second and major second.

[@seandaniel23]

+Pedro Polanco You're absolutely right. I thought I fixed that in the annotations but I must've done it wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@dreamdrifter]

Another great video Sean, been having a blast watching through all of yours and Ian's lessons. On the topic of the "perfect 2nd vs major 2nd", I can see where you're coming from, but that's not how it generally works. 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th intervals are denoted "major" or "minor" based on which is the larger interval (the major) - not which scale they come from. Perfect intervals (unison, 4th and 5th) were traditionally named as such as they are perceived as the most consonant. Also notice how there is only one chromatic note remaining (enharmonically speaking) - the diminished fifth/augmented fourth - that's why it's not called a "minor 5th" or "major 4th"

[@seandaniel23]

You're right on Jaiden! I learned that afterwards and though I annotated it but maybe did it wrong :)

[@dreamdrifter]

Sean Daniel Ah, cool. I usually watch on mobile, so that's probably why I didn't see that. Interestingly enough, you can also have an Augmented 2nd, which is enharmonically equal to a Minor 3rd but serves as the second scale degree in some harmonic scales and modes. Keep up the great work, loving it!

Ayeeee I tried digging into my uncle's 3 decade deep pile of guitar subscriptions when I first started and ruined learning legit theory for myself by biting off such a big piece. Now, 12 years later, I've reapplied myself and started checking your videos (as well as other theory gurus) and it's all clicking. Some aspects are easier to grasp l, naturally, but I'm having a hard time deciding progressions. Either way I love your vids man you're the best teacher I've ever had regarding music.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much! I'll have more vids about progressions coming soon!

[@jameswong7049]

Awesome video man. I was wondering if you could go more into "volume" and how to construct these chords with different volumes. I know you went into it in your video but I am still a bit confused as to how to construct chords through the intervals - can you only move to a major third? or can you move to any other interval? sorry - im learning music theory and music by myself and you have been incredibly helpful.

[@seandaniel23]

+James Wong Thanks for watching. I'm not sure I totally understand the question your asking about volumes. As far as the construction of chords I definitely recommend this video if you haven't watched it already...kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZC5pZ-uhr-bjtU Let me know what other questions if you have if that doesn't answer it!

[@guloguloguy]

.....Is there any "handy" method for doing a lot of "skull work" on remembering the "intervalic distances" between any two notes,....by, perhaps drawing any simple diagrams, (like the "circle of 5ths"), but, instead ofgoing up by 5ths, (or down by 4ths), around the circle, we'd be just moving one "fret/semitone/half-step", going to any adjacent note, around the circle. Then, perhaps One could imagine the "geometric relationships" between the various important "intervals". With enough practice, One could recall these concepts, with a bit better "visual mnemonics" to fall back on....???!!!

[@zacandrews9750]

Add an echo and reverb to the ExiledOrpheus comment re duration of learning and what this man does that I feel more praise must be showered on him..I am sitting on a hot sunny afternoon watching a juniors soccer tournament intermittently switching betweeen George Harrison' All Things... and Sean's videos and I had one of those awakening moments as Sean just in his matter of fact style pointed out the interval relationship on the chord shape ,it's not I didn't understand the theory I did but what I hadn't linked to was scale pattern to the interval to the chords I already know. One request is a little series on Keith Richards or maybe just Wild Horses where I can almost never tire of listening to the second guitar's ultimate call and response. : )

The hippy has one big advantage over most of us. He's probably found happiness.

[@mmatys220]

I'm trying to figure out how you play the interval with a sweeping strum. Are you able to be that precisely, or are you muting strings? I find it difficult to play only the strings that have the interval.

[@seandaniel23]

Definitely muting the string that's in between.

[@DeeBroughton]

First, I think your other videos are really very good, but I think you should do this one over. Intervals are super important but this explanation is not as good as it should be. First of all, the mistakes. But second, it would be much better, imo, to start by showing the intervals that are inherent on the fretboard dependent on the tuning. So, for example, in standard, on every pair of strings except when crossing B, you'll see the same shape for a major 3rd, same for 4th, etc. This will help people learn the fretboard architecture. Then show how to know which major 3rd belong in the scale/key you are playing. Third, the folky hippy is far more likely to appreciate a little theory than the wannabe rockstar, but I see why you wouldn't say that. Liking your stuff, though, your musicality is excellent. Thanks!

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for this. Just what I was looking for. In the sense that you are talking about them, aren't intervals are two notes played *simultaneously* ? In other words part of harmony (which, for example, North Indian - Hindustani - Classical Music does not really have). P.S. I feel for that Hippie. Dare you to quiz him on intervals.

[@gokul_-vo8ny]

Why can't i say CA instead of major 6 interval in C key. Please reply so that i can understand

So when you move a major/minor third is it relative to the previous chord or to the key you are playing in?

[@NMonks-ex9gx]

Thankyou for the video by the way :)

[@seandaniel23]

It can be for sure. In most instances I would say it's relative to the chord, but it's kind of about how you're perceiving your movement. Like are you continuing a major 3rd up within the same chord? (like playing a C note then an E note) or are you going to a totally new chord? LIke a C major chord to and E minor chord?

[@jimmymurraymethod]

Great lesson Sean!

[@earscribechurchmusic1192]

Is it a normal thing or a habit for guitarists to do slide always their guitar?

[@SamDesmet]

'perfect' second? ' power chord' playing min/maj thirds? playing the 'same' chords above the neck, but strumming open treble strings throughout? I guess we agree on one thing: the advantage of understanding intervals is two-fold: they form the foundation to build chords/harmonies they are important to understand the fretboard But you might wanna check some sources before putting things out there...

I watched some other videos about intervals and on the channel GuitarJamz, that btw has 2M subscribers, the says that "The distance between the root note and a half step up is called Minor second and distance between the root note and whole step up is called Major second" I'm confused. Can someone explain is there different ways of nameing intervals?

[@seandaniel23]

Yup! I thought I annotated that but you're exactly right. A minor 2nd is a one fret interval. But in the minor scale, the 2nd note is still 2 frets away, which is what makes it confusing. But a 2nd isn't a perfect interval, major is a whole step, minor half.
