In this video I'm explaining and showing the concept of making a beautiful guitar part out of basic chords. Pretty much alike 'Turn those some old chords into something beautiful' but now with a different vibe. I'm using the loop function of Ableton live to stack the guitar parts, but all parts sound great on their own too. It's all in the key of D major, and all chords I'm using are explained in the video!

With everything I learned from this channel I was able to create a whole new way of playing and it inspired my new music so much. Paul, I want you to listen to it when it's released! (It's mixed by a mutual friend by the way.)

[@PaulDavids]

Sure, send it over via the secret mutual friend ;)

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Thats so cool

[@Dotmw]

Agreed! Paul has really helped me break through a creative plateau

[@Zethnix]

love this style, would enjoy hearing your music :)

[@stokjebrood]

@@PaulDavids The most important thing I learned (besides playing less notes) is adding the 6th for a minor feeling in a major chord and vice versa.

[@bubuguaiguai]

4:36 - the best sentence in guitar tuition ever! "It resolves to G major TO MY EARS"! I love to hear you NOT setting A MUST in resolving a harmony, but merely explaining what you feel like in that situation! Wonderful video!

[@Alchemist37]

yup it's the best "take home" message in the video :)

[@markovasylenko5303]

Well, harmony still explains it. D/F# is a passing chord to G, so G fells more resolved, but it still sounds like IV chord to me. How about you?

[@bubuguaiguai]

@@markovasylenko5303 well, it is (in my head) defined by overall mood. Since the author keeps entertaining me, I tend to expect a more "joyful" resolves from him, so this G is in it's place. Paul could play the saddest chord in the world (D minor to me) and from his hands I'd perceive it as "elegant", not sad!

[@batphink2655]

I'm a drummer first who loves guitar and your videos have really helped me add more atmosphere to my already moody music!Thank you so much ,God Bless you Paul you're a class act and amazing musician!

[@danielcheung2907]

Love the editing you do in these videos!!

[@CarnivoreIntelligence]

Yes, he is great! :)

[@kierenbrown7298]

Gives off a warm vibe that one like it.

[@JohnFiaschetti]

As a modern worship guitar player, I can say we do this kind of stuff a lot. Sounds very airy and open. Beautiful work.

[@moisescugat3948]

Paul... I recently rediscovered playing after long years without putting my hands on a guitar, and it has been in a big part thanks to you. What you do is amazing. Thanks dude

[@DKomnicide]

Thank you Paul I was having a bad day and I really needed this

[@PaulDavids]

Glad to have helped. Take care...!

[@anirudhsharma9802]

Donkey Kong hope your day gets better mate ;)

[@nostalgia_junkie]

i love you dk

[@Tomas-pt9pc]

Dw man ultimate is out soon. December 7th

[@sarova2000]

The quality of these videos keeps getting better! So nice!

[@davids9885]

Yeah Paul Davids is a great teacher and we owe it to the teachers for giving us that ability to express ourselves through music.

[@michaelbuchanan3212]

Paul, you are an amazing guitarist! I always love watching, hearing and listening to you speak. Your an inspiration!!!

[@sanjayplays5010]

That was an hour of pure bliss, playing these chords. Thanks Paul!!

[@chrisjames1924]

My favourite new KZbinr by a country mile. Top quality content, always well filmed and edited, nice touches of humour and crucially (for me) massively educational guitar lessons. He's raised the bar in KZbinr guitar teaching. He really is that good.

[@dunhamchris]

I’ve been messing with that chord progression and voicing for months now. But you make it sound so much better.

[@kenallard2150]

Lovely progression. Sounds great. I`d say G Lydian is home ... maybe! Thanks

[@jacobkaufman2619]

Those chords are awesome. The World I Know by Collective Soul is another really cool use of those voicings

[@JohnnyBeGood67]

Hi Paul. Thanks for sharing this amazing tutorial. Your video's are giving me new and fresh inspiration. I felt I was a kind of stuck in my chord progression but after trying and experimenting with this (and other tutorials from your channel), I got an inspiring boost. So keep up the excellent work. The way you share and teach musical knowledge/creativity is very generous (and refreshing).

[@WizardOfArc]

The filming is stunning as well as the music

[@SebKorn]

Thanks for sharing your passion and breaking limits 👏👏👏

[@scarletiv5683]

Beautiful sounds, so relaxing. I really dig these kind of video's, so keep them coming!

[@marianosaab2694]

Thank you so much, amazing chords. Ideas keep popping up playing around with this.

[@dougshankle7946]

The tone is magnificent!!!

[@filthysightsnomad8859]

Ive been waiting for a tutorial on this. Thank you Paul 🤘🏻

[@MK-xf1nf]

Love the way you explain everything. I'm subscribed! Thanks for all of your help.

[@milanjanjana4939]

The sound is so amazing... Thanks paul.

[@eliodecolli]

Such a christmas vibe hell yeah

[@starsandguitars2050]

Thank You Paul! You are fantastic.

[@jessecole6697]

Really awesome. Thx a lot for sharin this. Great progression. My kinda tune.

[@miamiuke]

Paul I enjoy all your videos. I hope you break 1 Million subscribers one day. 800+ now and counting. Keep em coming ! Awesome material. There is so much to learn here ! Thanks

[@shawnbaxter5130]

Definitely taking your course 😊

[@jetgrey3131]

I use these chords a lot to simplify my progressions or when I want to do ambient guitar.

[@DannyDTM21]

thanks so much I made my own little song from these chords and made extensions to the chords they are really nice yet simple chords

[@eilrach299]

D!!!!!! (continually building tension with hints of resolve with D/F# but never really coming home until you hit that full D chord.) Beautiful tone BTW.

[@KeithRobTV]

Man Your video editing is so on point

[@sruliprero5712]

Great video! If you would be able to make a video on how increase the intensity in a solo after the first couple bars that would be awesome. Thanks for all the lessons. Cheers

[@andrewpierce7715]

Fantastic! Thanks so much Paul.

[@simdoyle]

Loving it. Thanks Paul.

[@mirellavr3966]

Sounds like lonely the brave's style especially the things will matter song. Thank you man. Great video

[@billyneville8579]

Can I just say, and I’m sure I’m speaking for all your subscribers here, that I really appreciate all the hard work you put into editing your videos. Very funny

[@jjc75019]

Thanks Paul, useful and educational as always. In addition, it might have been good to explain why you positioned the various sounds on the strings that you did. As well as use the pedal note repeated in the leading guitar voice (octave lower). The shimmer notes have their own frequency range and therefore stay audible under the louder lead notes, thus creating the broader sound and the listener to be able to hear both. Even though the shimmer notes are hardly noticeable, they would be missed if not there.

[@David__]

Simple, Beautiful + Inspirational... Thanks for sharing Paul :)

[@robertogarnica2527]

Terrific!!! great sound, beautiful.

[@tomatao4610]

Can u make a original punk rock song in 2018??? Or a garage rock. I would like see this too.

[@StefanIson123]

I thought for a second you were playing a lowered version of the song Youth, by Daughter. Quite similar structure. Great minds think alike I guess.

[@zlarecords]

D is the homechord...definitely👍

[@rogerloydmccoy]

Great video Paul. Can you continue on with this one please; effects, more theory on this progression, leaving room in cords for the loop to build....? Thanks for this. Really great stuff, learning so much while having fun!

[@evanspotvin5519]

Awsome mr. Superb playing.

[@talboomerik]

Love your sound

[@psychorockz123]

Beautiful tone!

[@blue6633]

.Sounds Great Paul !!! Cheers from Craig Down under Australia

[@theresalwayssomething2397]

401 likes to 1 like speaks for itself, when I think of guitarists who’ve inspired my style Paul David’s is definitely above Jeff Beck or Steve Vai, the expression is second to none

[@GoodMusicManiac999]

I almost screamed in anger at the screen when the magical intro was interrupted!

[@dufemi]

BIG thank you for every video you make Mr. Davids ;-)

[@stefanhougaard990]

Reminds me of Explosions in the Sky. Amazing band. Amazing video.

[@LiveMusicCT]

Your movement reminds me of the intervals Dave Matthew's plays in "tripping billies"... if you isolate his guitar from his ensemble. No disrepect, I appreciate what you do!

[@mikegilland]

Beautiful piece, Paul. I have to say that, to me, it feels like that first G sounds out the 4 chord in the piece...which is correct if the actual root key is D. As always, your tone is amazing, and your execution is flawless. You never fail to teach us another piece of beauty.

[@cmdraftbrn]

soooo relaxing

[@dan_santana]

Beautiful song!!!

[@downhill240]

Great lesson!

[@Cheezeeeee]

These reminds me of songs made by Lincoln Brewster when he made a Christmas Album... Back when I was still able to play in a live setting. Sad.

[@WillsMusic-Namaste]

That tone!

[@chiminorbu9789]

You are the best teacher

[@miltontuffpuff]

Heavenly !!!!

[@cookwithJ06]

And it sounds very nice

[@tylerfreestone8798]

Your alright Paul. I feel you deserve a bigger following.

[@tridiptaroy2762]

Heavenly, truly though ❤️

[@leonelvaldezguitar]

[@Justin-uf9lc]

Very common chords used by Dave Matthews but played so differently, very cool!

You are the best!!! 👌

[@zackatreides8025]

Thank you for the inspiration:)

[@97guitarzan]

Nice chords

[@dikidsaputra2536]

That's good information thanks!!!

[@lozvillr6858]

You are a master! 🙌🙌

[@thegoodman-nl]

G feels like home until you discover home is not home anymore. Resolving to D in the end wiped the illusion of home on G. None of the cords have a strong sounding root. Even the pedal notes has A as lowest to make you even more floating. It keeps you searching for home. We need a good poet to describe the vibe in words. I have not felt like this song yet but it would be a nice feeling.. A SciFi scene, floating in space is what comes to mind. Maybe while meeting a divine creature.

[@TheJeeCee]

great, thanks

[@jaydensuwu]

Are you making post-rock? I am on 0:40 right now

[@nogoodd]

[@johnbouttell5827]

Space rock?

[@tomatao4610]
