Reliance on dominant fifth chords in Aeolian progressions sounds cliched and invites stagnation. Since Aeolian's v chord comes from Phrygian, why not try staying in the key and using a susb2, 7susb2, maddb9, or mb9? You're trading that half step resolution (from the third of the V7 chord to the root of the i chord) for harmonic purity, and the tritone between the b2/b9 and the P5 produces just as much tension as a dominant chord.

while some channels tend to talk about theory to explain music I prefer when you use music to explain theory. It's much more intelligent and useful. just think about it - anyone who listens to music, even without knowing theory has already experienced most of the sonic sensations that gave birth to all the musical theory. It's just a matter of connecting the dots, to associate one thing with the other. your approach excels at it.

Honestly, he's really great. I've been playing for 30 years and I'm learning all kinds of things from him. I can't believe this stuff is free. He does have a paid masterclass but I don't know what he could possible teach you there that you don't get for free. His chord theory videos are so good. Also, maybe this is a bit egocentric on my part. I don't know. But given that you haven't been playing long I thought I'd copy and paste my comment. I thought it was a good one and I thought it was helpful. So let me know If you agree. Also, try changing it halfway through. So like, when he was playing D/ Em/ C/ Em/ do that once, then the next time around maybe it could go D/ Em/ C/ D/. Put that all together and that's a solid little verse. It's actually kind of nice. I'll give it to whoever wants to use it though. Lol. I stake no claim and I can't take you to court when you have a big hit.

But........I've always had one major hang up, and that is....writing in a minor key. I don't know what it is...but I've always found it kinda daunting and UN-intuitive. So this helped a lot actually. Thanks! You got a great thing going on this channel. I'm a recent subscriber, and I'm really loving your content.

I think thats the problem. When you see minor scale that way your choice of chords tend to go to major and it is "UN-intuitive". I think the best way (if you play piano) is to play C major scale then C minor scale and compare how some chord change. The III become major and the IV become minor and other sutff.

You produce such phenomenal content, man! Easy to digest and it gives you the tools to just sit down and write music. I truly did believe that one is either born with talent or one simply can’t write songs, but now I feel like I have a cheat sheet, a hack to music! I’m mind blown. Thank you so much 😊

I just started learning guitar last year and self taught me those basic chords with yt videos. Now that it's getting more serious with my playing and my musical feel in general I found exactly some of those chord progressions by just playing with the guitar myself and that is very satisfying. Now I finally understand why those sound so good together and it feels great to know that you can get there just by some intuition and trying stuff out. Thanks for the video and the great insight!

That reminds me that if - in addition to subbing in a V - you also sub in a IV, you'll end up with a red door that you'll almost certainly want to paint black. Especially in E minor...

Out of the dozens of guitar channels I have watched, This channel is the first channel I search when I want to explore a new topic. The videos are very well thought out. They are the best of both worlds, they give all the practical knowledge to put it to good use and a good fundamental understanding of the theory behind it. Some channels don't understand that the most impressive indicators of understanding the material is being able to distill it down to the essentials with context, not reciting textbook theory ad nauseam.

So, you don't have to start on the root like your major key lesson?
@SignalsMusicStudio
@SignalsMusicStudio 5 жыл бұрын
You don't -have- to, but you will have to make sure that the root feels like the root. The best way to do that is to start on it, but you can also get away with progressions that just use lots of the i chord. VI-VII-i-i for example has enough of the i for it to feel like home, that progression doesn't really want to end on VI (though it could for an unresolved sort of ending). Ultimately there are no rules here, these are just guidelines to help you get a good sound that you can enjoy. If it isn't actually in minor but it still sounds good, that's totally fine!

I have played guitar for seven years, and I couldn't write any chord progressions until today, for seven years! Thank you so much, you have inspired me to keep playing, now that I know what I'm doing, and how to get the sound I want. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I learned more in the first 2 and a half minutes of the video than I did in 4 years on my own and 3 with a teacher.

Absolutely true... I'm always in such a rush to get things posted that things like this often slip my attention. The reason for the error is that I have to put that # sign in there as a separate text box so it doesn't screw up the kerning of the letters of the scale. When i copy and pasted the bigger text box over, I guess I completely forgot to include the #.
