Creating Beautiful Chord Progressions

[@troysmithfr]

I always wanted to learn guitar... but the beginning always seemed so slow and frustrating.

[@carlo1568]

Just like everything in LIFE..

[@rifqidaffa4923]

Try to listen Radiohead. They've been created some of the most beautiful chord progression I've ever listen to.

[@SubCultureMEDIAHilbert]

Best Chord Progressions EVER: Elliott Smith. IF you are not familiar, definitely check him out.

[@rifqidaffa4923]

+SubCulture MEDIA Thanks, I'll check it.

[@wavular]

They are a very eclectic and interesting progressive alt-rock band,One of the leaders in that style of music in my opinion!

[@1cacacaca2]

In my opinion, they are probably the beatles of our time. All of their LP are awesome and original

[@blueworm2341]

You don't get many bands like them that actually use interesting progressions. One of many reasons why I love their music

[@03_anggerrangas3]

under the bridge

[@iamiupa]

so I'm not the only one who thought of that!

[@pedroarruda1409]

Under The Bridge in the end of the song is the best chord progression

[@Ds-wt1sm]

i was JUST about to say the exact same thing

[@Swizzenator]

I miss Bob.

[@TheCharudatta]

Best chord progression? Always with me always with you :D

[@aleaallee]

what a CRUSHING DAY to play that song ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Farooqjamal1]

just what ive been SEARCHING for :D

[@MusicisWin]

I totally MYSTICAL POTATO HEAD GROOVE THING... wait... that didn't work. XD

[@Farooqjamal1]

i can SATCH BOOGIE to that groove

[@axarabiotis]

Nice video but remove the background noise pls.

[@elblopex]

anything written by Mark Holcomb. Pale aura, priestess, scarlet...Man, he's just incredible

[@gokharol]

4:11 hahaha the pleasure of having a cold soda on a hot day

[@Marks_Piano]

Really useful video, I love how you plug your course so many times, I always feel I'm overpluggng my piano courses but this time you plug it like every possible time you can. But I know what it is like, because yes, you cannot teach everything for free, and yes you do actually explain the stuff there :)

[@max79_99]

"Create something brand new, not stairway to heaven" Well I love Brand New so

[@karenlaferney8008]

After watching this the first time I was inspired and found myself "writing" something. Then realized I forgot the thing, hadn't recorded it and days later still can't recall it. Just make it a habit to record everything. You can always delete or erase it. Thanks man. Really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to more.

[@fastcrazyfacts531]

PRS guitars are so beautiful. Love 'em.

[@casparuskruger4807]

As an old-time; long-time transcriber of musical adventures recorded by many an artist since days of Thomas E., this unraveller of myriads of musical performances have stumbled across galaxies of artists where there have been a few star-systems whose who have great chords, and great chord progressions. The sacred few who possess minds who have access to a universe of musical harmony which is far beyond that of a mortal man-- which seemingly can go where no man has gone before with their seemingly endless library of knowledge of chords are indeed few and far between. They know their chords and they tell great stories with them.I'll go back to the early 60's to retrace the Beatles as being the first who first showed signs of having some fuel in their tank to begin such a journey, which reached its maximum distance with their latest efforts--only to see it all sputter away into space shortly after their breakup--although with a few pieces of juicy debris floating round soon afterwards.Since then, there have been a few stars that have shone brightly--albeit more of a flash than shining . An increasingly hostile music-listeners market pulled down the blinds on the paucity of the precious few stars ( albeit aging stars ) still ablaze in favour of those cemented in a dirge of decibel battles-- or sweet; serene and melancholy whisperings, or an attitude of oppressed urban street banter. If the arduous task of increased difficulty of unravelling this paucity of musical journeys is any indication of a true artistry, the names of Donald Jay Fagen and Gino Vannelli are the first two heavenly bodies still hurtling strongly through space.

[@LuckyGreen9]

beautiful PRS guitar... i love it it's a work of art

[@LuckyGreen9]

agreed... one day i hope to own an american prs custom 24, but for now an SE will do haha

[@LuckyGreen9]

i have a natural spalted maple custom 24... it's my baby haha

[@coreyroberts311]

home is what you make it...your a good musician man, I like your videos. music and playing guitar for me has always been more about feeling. You obviously know alot more theory than the average guitar player. hats off to you...keep doing it man.

[@DaFuNo]

Right after you picked B I started thinking 'don't you play Canon', then the C#m, oh god he is doing it please no G#m! Ahh A saves the day. A close call

[@georgehill6098]

It was actually "Nearer My God to Thee", a traditional catholic hymn.

[@braclo93]

I - V - vi - IV is one of the most widely used and common chord progressions of all time... saying it's a specific song is kind of silly

[@youtubkeeper]

I appreciate you playing with a clean guitar tone so we can actually hear what you're doing! So many tutorials have overdrive which makes it sound cooler, but harder to hear and learn.

[@llRoBoBinHoll]

Another thing: on the one hand it's cool that you try to fill and smooth out every chord transition, but in my experience that doesn't work out very well in a full band context. You could actually take some things out and let for example the bass and keys play them, which gives your music a really cool composed quality, rather than one instrument totally taking the lead, and the rest just kind of going along.

[@skaterhellraiser]

root positioning is another variation of playing chords. adding half or even full diminished chords gives it more character. Great video for beginners

[@Cestariarts]

Best chord progression? Erotomania after the second solo (Y) CHORD PROGRESSION OF THE GODS

[@OllingProductions]

Old days of DT was surely the best ones

[@Cestariarts]

OllingProductions For sure

[@TheRealDoomPriest]

Got a timestamp for it? Im no musician :P

[@mikemorada6290]

Awake was pure brilliance. In my opinion it only showed how big of an influence Rush to DT was. Rush's Fly by night, DT's Erotomania main riff and Rush's red barchetta and DT's innocence faded.

[@kjelleriksson5122]

+Abner Cestari Or you could listen to an old Frank Zappa thing called "The Carlos Santana Chord Progression". Hahahahaha! Frank is sitting on the top of the mountain looking down on your gods trying to get their stuff together. BTW, both Frank Zappa and Tommy (Tommi?) Emmanuel started out as drummers. Maybe that's the trick?

[@unfetteredaxes1032]

This is magnificent! you are an excellent teacher. I just became a subscriber, and looking forward to more.....thanks for everything!

[@MusicisWin]

Thanks a lot, I post new videos every weekday!

[@johnnydeeme]

Absolute best instruction ever! Just tied together 35-years of this and that into super chord progressions.

[@user-vm1hh2lp1b]

E Min - C Maj - G Maj - D Maj Every pop song nowadays - transposed around

[@MrThoss1]

Definetely ! Lot's of electro pop song are transposed to - A Min - F - C - G - cause it uses only C Maj scale, and it avoid the creepy black buttons on the keyboard :D.

[@user-vm1hh2lp1b]

True, true... radio-music is predictable as f*ck. Same chord-progression in pretty much every song...

[@McGuire40695]

Don't forget transposing it to F major (F, C, Dm, Bb) for Glycerine's Bush to include the alternative crowd.

[@profdrklenk]

All based on Pachelbel's canon in d :D

[@user-vm1hh2lp1b]

Glycerine's the same chord progression, but instead of going chord1, chord2, chord3 & 4, it starts from Chord3 then goes CHord4, Chord1 Chord2. So it's the same chords, just rotated, he plays the second half first then the first half.

[@BeyondTheMind007]

Anyone who wants an inspiration for this style of playing, with unique beautiful chords, check out a young guy called Mateus Asato. Such a beautiful style.

[@dylankennedy6389]

I've never been bored watching anything to do with guitars before man. This video reminds me of someone writing and 5000 times to fill out an essay. Then you basically played Pachabels Cannon

[@11011000101110100]

at 5:05, if you're lifting the bottom of your index finger to open the E and B strings on that A maj bar chord you really don't need to stretch your pinky to the 9th on the D string because the open B is already hitting that 9th for you. It's redundant E B C# *B* (same octave) E A

[@Farooqjamal1]

just the lesson i needed thrown at my face. what a time to be alive ty tyler

[@shanearnold7781]

Also my favourite resolution for the dilemma at 9:00 is F# Major-A Major-a minor-a minor 6-E Major. I absolutely love that progression

[@guitargod3434]

This is a great example/explanation of where to go when trying to create music

[@loupain2530]

Trouble by Cage The Elephant is a beautiful progression

[@tarheelbob44]

My favorite lesson so far. Beautiful. Great teacher, Tyler.

[@erickt1974]

Reminds me of Under The Bridge

[@Dswove]

same key pretty sure almost same chords

[@wegnostyk60]

instead of g# minor, he's playing c# minor

[@wegnostyk60]

Or in Emaj7, call it as you want

[@JeanGillesTouraine]

That's not a scale.

[@pduvallsr]

You peaked my interest in understanding more creative chord theory. I do a lot of this naturally but this help me really understand why I am doing it. Thanks.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Man, you are the absolute best guitarist in the world. You should teach all those Paul Gilberts, Brian Mays or David Gilmours. You are the man! Not kidding!

[@wuhanabcd]

I really like the use of #F here. It sounds different but catchy

[@jaym4958]

the reason to keep doing it is to share your talent with people like me that truly appreciate it, and are thankful for all the ways it helped me progress in my playing.wishing all the best for you./peace\Jay.

[@connorlee8983]

Little Wing is probably my all-time favorite chord progression

[@whyshouldidothatnow]

I'm in love with your desk.

[@BellaKoei]

LOVE your Franklin Strap

[@420Bassist]

I was playing around with these voicings to see what else sounds nice and blends with these chords. What I came up with was; Eadd9, F#minor add11, and D#/E.

[@mygetawayart]

the progression at the beginning sounded like Under the Bridge's verse

[@johndou423]

I thought it was stairway to heaven?

[@J4WESOME]

it is stairway to heaven

[@LucasCosta2234]

+John Dou yes, but he is talking about the E-B-C#m-A. That chord progression is very similar to Under The Bridge

[@GAMEBOYn00b]

And like a million other rhcp songs

[@LucasCosta2234]

+GAMEBOYn00b such as...?

[@Xfacta12482]

Canon in D

[@BedroomPanic]

By Pachelbel i assume?

[@Xfacta12482]

That Showmaster Dude Oh yeah. That shit will be played at my wedding

[@BedroomPanic]

***** That's dope man, hope you live a very long life.

[@31sarm]

in E* Your welcome :)

[@BedroomPanic]

31sarm EXCUSE ME, ITS IN D.

[@MrJarrah94]

I would say what you call a C#m7(#5) is functioning more as an Amaj9/C# as alterations (Changing the 5 or the 9) are often reserved for dominant function chords outside of Be Bop. Another way to look at this is that there is a scale that has all the notes of Amaj9/C# namely A lydian (A B C# D# E F# G# - 1 2 3 +4 5 6 7); Where as there aren't any common scales that have a minor 7 minor 3rd and a #5 the scale would have to be (C# D# E F# G## A# B - 1 2 b3 4 +5 6 b7). I would argue, that a Dorian Augmented scale wouldn't fit within this genre.

[@georgeglez9872]

exactly what I thought

[@petepetrov9187]

Excellent.Very helpful.Your effort is greatly appreciated.

[@ahuhehihause1]

Very petrucci-ish progression+tone, by the way.

[@michabrenda7218]

Petrucci/Dave Grohl style

[@alevidal897]

ahuhehihause1 especially one of the last chords is one I've heard in one DT song, I think it was One Last Time

[@danielortega1137]

Man im so glad i quit my pride and start to watch your videos. This is helping me a lot

[@matthewsimpson9737]

You instantly became my guitar role model, really enjoyed this. Inspiring me to take greater heights in Music. Definitely earned my subscribe and I will be checking out your website

[@MusicisWin]

Thank you for your support, Matthew!

[@Magdalinica]

as a singer-songwriter, i found that the classic e-b-c#m-a progression transferred around works as something to fall back to, because it's not bad to use it, it comes natural once you listen to a lot of the music nowadays. it's much more interesting and original when you add the sus chords and add9 and add4s, but again, i don't find it crucial.

[@expertizzlist]

you're right, understanding harmonic analysis is great. which leads me to my next point: it doesn't exactly make sense to call that one chord a c#min with a raised fifth. because you play the natural fifth on the e-string as well, so it's not altered, but just an added b6. Or call the whole thing Amaj9/C#

[@fadetoblackfan]

This video is great... honestly THE most helpful one Ive seen on the topic

[@johnnycameron3201]

My favourite chord progression? Its very unique: "The Spirit of Radio" - Rush. The first chord progression in the first verse is just so beautiful. It goes like E5 - Bmaj(add4) - Emaj/G#. All the chords are in weird voicings.

[@JohnLeger]

That's good, what you created sounds like something that Steve Tyler would sing something to compare to the basic cords you should would be for like Sting to use to make a song out of. That's what I hear when your playing it for the vocals.

[@JackMilde]

thanks so much for uploading this man. Being a composition student and guitarist, I couldn't tell you how many guitar players I see veering away from theory and analysis in favor of pure "riffage" or playing purely by ear (applying theory doesn't always sound natural to the ear, hence why I say this), when it's those very same things that will make their music better.

[@Violetcas97]

1:50-1:55 sounds like Under the Bridge

[@EliasNilssonComposer]

Sounds like every pop song out there lol

[@bpokrepin]

First, second and fourth chords(third is different from song) are exactly where they are have to be, you're right :)

[@zephirot4462]

sounds like Legião Urbana - Será

[@DANIEL-ls5ku]

It does sound like "Under The Bridge" isn't it..

[@denisfilming]

Same progression and same key, so yes it does sound like it.

[@abhi_kehs]

watching this made me fall in love with music all over again :D Thanks man, great stuff.

[@Cam_B]

I actually like the first chord progression better. it sounds fuller

[@petter9078]

I fiddle around with the exact same chords in matter of fact. Used my ears to find em however. I guess knowing what you do, makes it easier to replicate or use it in other situations than only "those" chords I found.

[@Breadfan00]

Ian D'Sa should get that guitar because of the fretboard!

[@bengus_khan]

Nice, you've slapped a trademark on music theory 101

[@megasauce6468]

I stopped paying attention because I don't have my guitar on me so instead I just listened to that amazing clean tone 😍

[@chrisfusion6945]

I'm sad that I only now found your lessons, you explain things better than any teacher I've ever had.

[@neilxpeart]

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I have found I no longer use the standard major or minor chords. It wasn't really intentional it just happened. Suspended chords are my favorite next to 7th and 9th chords.

[@jimmyoleary8667]

That is so awesome! Been looking for this style of playing for years. This is music at its best!

[@pickmytimecounterclockwise3035]

I like simple chromatic progressions, with 4 power chords for exemple (listen: "dark entries" Bauhaus). Simple, dark, efficiente! You can find it in other kind of music, jazz, and blues (the blue not inside the gamme for exemple). Not only in chord progressions, but for embellishments to

[@veidachulishemai3739]

Awesome . It really gives me creativity n uniqueness

[@nilsa6947]

This was awesome! Thank you. Again my attempts at "making a quick loop" to practice soloing have turned into hours of thinking about chord progressions instead... But regardless it was well worth it, good stuff.

[@666pinkster]

For an even COOLER ( arguably) AM9 fret the 6th fret of the d and g strings only, and strum all 6 strings... the open strings ringing against the stopped notes is just crazy lush and fat and even seems to work with a cranked up marshall. Seriously, check it out ty.

these videos are so advanced. for an example imagine someone teaching you how to sprint 100 meters in less than 10seconds. And the training would basically go you have to be training for many years already and all im gonna say is somtheing that any experienced guy knows, but inexperienced guy must learn in a long time.

[@claystovall]

I really liked your tutorial. subscribed! please post more of such.

[@A.lee1312]

I'm surprised no ones pointed out that the E chord he "changed" to was literally the same chord he played but without the root which does not make it a triad. X7999x vs. xxx454. Also a triad is 3 notes in thirds.The other thing I noticed was the A chord changed from 577600 to 579600 which is basically the same chord because by moving the 7 to the 9, the 9 doubles the high open E string. so much for using music theory to find better chords...

[@LoonieVlogs]

basics theory creates a foundation for great things..and sounds...

[@mus1cal4ddict76]

For me some r&b chords progressions are beautiful with extended chords. Chord formula like 4 6 2 3 And 6 5 3 4.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

i love playing Alisha Key's no one, same chords as this but I funk it up and play it with those Hendrix chords / fingering that he pioneered with Isley Brothers also it's the cowboy song by thin lizzy and a millions others, the 1, 5, m6. 4 chord progression

[@20GuitarZero07]

Same guitar! plays like butter

Congratulations. Very inspiring!

[@DopamineOverload]

Why so many dislikes? This is a dope vid. I really am amazed how many people gave this a thumbs-down. I teach this shit every day and use it in my songwriting, too. Maybe you come across as being a tad snobby about the I-V-vi-IV progression (hit song formula, let's not kid ourselves).... and maybe there's some snobbery sneaking in.... but, I don't know. What you covered in 12 minutes really is pretty amazing and comprehensive. People out there--- stop disliking shit. Give it a thumbs-up, because people are taking the time to do this, and it makes a lot of sense. Maybe you don't know the full music theory stuff he's talking about... if not, find some beginner vids and then watch this. But this is great. Kudos, man. And also... crystal-clear voice, great guitar tone. You know what you're doing, and it shows.
