Quartal Chords & Quartal Harmony - Crystal Clear Tutorial Guitar!

[@Victor_Severo_Oliveira]

This is one of the most complete and useful videos I've ever seen when it comes to music teaching in general, thank you very much for the great content!

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you Victor!

[@DeckardRJ]

Indeed!!! Very good one!!!!

[@freediaga]

Man.... Even the duration around 19 minutes, but to learn every minutes will need days.... But I really excited to replay every minute to understand.. Thank you for the knowledge... 🙏🙏🙏🙏

As a never bored musician I suspected that life is not long enough. This lesson certifies that. I was already awash in new material that comes to mind when I but pick up a guitar. Why doesn't the magic come at the beginning? rather than at the end. But, at least it came on, and now that music plays me, the lessons are much easier.

[@michaelsmusic3532]

You're one of the few people on youtube that knows what they are talking about Thank you for sharing all your hard work !

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks Michael!

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Thanks Rob... I'll be spending a lot of time going through this one. I really love the sound of quartal chords.

[@QJamTracks]

Hi Tony :) I'm glad you can get something out of this vid!

[@misery_tunes]

Love your tune just after 16:00

[@patrickmckay6621]

great, i was sesrching for these sounds and an explicit lesson for quiet some time,fine to find this lesson here. i have been typing in Chick Corea chords ect but all i received was some Spain sheets. Thank you

[@devonk298]

Love the fact that I can apply your tutorials to any instrument.

[@shitmandood]

Man, what a definitive explanation on quartal harmony for guitar. I was surprised Joe Diorio wasn’t mentioned. Maybe you can add a supplemental video on his contributions to quartal harmony? Again, this is the best video I’ve seen on this topic! I’m gonna be binge watching your videos like crazy in the coming weeks! lol

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

12:00 that's fucking brilliant. I never thought one could indicate functional relationships quite unambiguously with strictly quartal chords.

[@slickwillie3376]

Definitely gonna play around with this.

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

Wow! Great lesson! You’ve just opened an important door for me... now I can get in touch with my inner Holdsworth!

[@QJamTracks]

Yes Holdsworth is a absolute great player right?

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

@@QJamTracks I saw him in a small club many years ago ... amazing.

[@johnupdates2472]

Your example @ 16:10 sounds like it was inspired by Joe Satriani's "Not of this Earth" I always liked the strange sound of that track. Never would've guessed there was a method to the madness. Another fantastic explanation of cool stuff.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks! And yes I might have been inspired by Joe's masterpiece :)

[@undu162]

these lessons are such gems, thank you😭

[@correametal]

Like always my dear Rob, you take us into a journey of beautiful and new possibilities for us to use in our compositions. Simply amazing! Thanks!!!

[@QJamTracks]

Hey Jose my friend :) Thank you very much man!

[@caurnelmorgan4934]

Great explanation of how to use quartal chords!

[@EclecticEssentric]

Thanks for sharing the concepts!

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

Sometimes I drink a quart of cider and then a fifth of vodka. Perfect harmony!

[@QJamTracks]

Hahaha! :)

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

Amazingly clear and helpful. I'm excited to try some of these ideas in my ambient guitar music.

[@QJamTracks]

Great! Maybe you could share it here when you have composed something.

[@antonellomascarello4698]

This is a very clear and instructive video!!! I think quartal harmony takes a while to be digested, but the reward is amazing! This is the key to take full advantage of modal harmony. Keep it up man !!!

[@michaeljay9019]

Great vid! Quartal chords have been kinda my thing ever since I read an article in keyboard magazine that was a lesson on McCoy Tyner. Their ambiguity I found intriguing and began using them in the jazz influenced jam bands I was playing in. Learning the inversions too gave me so many colors to choose from. Love them! Great vid and lesson! ❤️🔥❤️

[@simonsimonc]

What an amazing lesson. Just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

[@georgemc7520]

Nice job. I knew a lot of this stuff. Now I know it even better!! I watched this twice. Thx

[@nuke97]

Best lesson on quartal chords on KZbin.

[@wolfsdenmusic9404]

I just somehow came across this channel recently, and it is one of the best "theory" channels I've found. I've been pouring through a lot of the videos and love your explanations. New subscriber here! Thanks for such great content!

[@dintom-hz3lf]

Gold as always.

[@BringerOfBloood]

One thing I found maybe a bit confusing or also maybe even disagree with the video on: At 13:40 it says that the avoid note for the dominant (7th) chord is the fourth (e.g. C for G7) - I am not sure, if this really is so true for these quartal chords... for kinda typical tertian harmony voicings the C would conflict heavily with the B because if you play it as the 11th, it's a minor 9th above that, which is extremely dissonant. If you play a quartal voicing G C F B, the B is on top and it's a major 7th interval between them which is fine. If I play e.g. frets 5 5 5 7 on the middle strings, that's basically D7add11 (without 5) as a quartal chord and to me that sounds perfectly fine.

[@mikestar3686]

Wow thank you for bringing up this topic to interesting level of information. Thank you so much my Music Master.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Totally cool. I sure need to know this stuff! And so much more! Does music theory stuff get even way more "outside" than this stuff? I need to learn how to go to infinity and beyond. Seriously, I am trying to be a new music pioneer myself, but to put into actual songs too, right now when I try new stuff, it sounds like boring exercises, so I need to get it to where it sounds like music..I sure need your knowledge and help for sure!!

[@nickname3798]

VERY NICE ....I LOVE YOUR LESSONS ....COUNTERPOINT LESSON/S PLEASE

[@QJamTracks]

I'll put it on my list :)

[@fiddleexpress-beckfamilyband]

Great information very informative

[@rogerweafer2179]

Fantastic teaching and concise samples and usage tips...so glad this turned up (I guess the Barry Harris vids brought you to the surface) Thank You!

[@user-hf2lg7pg3g]

Bravo.

[@matzelauda6673]

Thanks!

[@kondorram9073]

Thanks mate - enjoyed the insight

[@intuitionmusicchannel]

Brilliant analysis Rob, particularly love the link from the classical composers to Miles Davis and Frank Zappa! A true deep dive into Quintal/Quartal harmony! Hope to collaborate someday with you when I feature more advanced concepts on my Guitar tutorial channel (please feel free to check it out if you have time, we seem to have similar presentation styles so you may find this inspiring 😅) Subscribed and will be back for more, as well as recommending this video to my students! Thank You for your excellent work! Spiros 🙂

[@craigfouche]

Very interesting 👌🏻

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you Luigi!

[@AchmadAnanda]

Thanks for this video. Its really great stuff for open new approach for teaching and playing.

[@PedroSilvaMusic]

Fantastic

[@s997939]

Hi Rob, thank you for this amazing video. It was very enlightening. Despite that, there is one thing that is not clear to me yet. You were talking about avoid notes. I noticed that, in the key of C on the second degree (Dm7), the avoid note would be b. However, to my understanding the b outlines the Dorian mode, right? Is this the note to avoid as a chord on its whole (as a harmony). Or do need to avoid it while improvising? I hope you can clear this up for me. Thanks!

[@krudler406]

awesome as always rob!!!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@cliffguitarstudio]

a really great and informative channel thank you

[@MassimoVaccaro]

Really interesting! Very inspirational!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks Massimo!

[@TheAtheistworld]

Thnx bro. So, basically, I can take the advantage of guitar’s tuning in forths to build quartal chords. Just being aware of the 2nd string that fukkks up the fluidity.. but if all strings are retuned in fourths then I can have a damn easy quartal super machine?? right? Cheers❤

[@arnieus866]

"So What" was a Miles Davis composition, not Charlie Parker.

[@onemancarnage]

Love the content ! Now my question is gear related . The headrush cab , is it stereo self powered ?

[@STU88R1]

Bit late to the party but am I right in hearing that the voicings played during the "Ambiguity" section all have a B on the top opposed to the C that is shown?

[@SonicArchives]

Miles Davis not Charlie Parker! Nice video!

[@domenicosorrentino1972]

I'm a little confused here, sorry. Very interesting lesson i think. But i dont fully understand... some questions arise. Excuse me. If quartal harmony was intended in the middle ages (and now) for using with modes, why i see lessons on modes with thirds, aka functional mode? I think to undertsand that if you want to play A aeolian, in a progression you have to hit sensitive notes, fro example here 3rd flat respect major scale...so playing G you hit this note. So far so good...but then in my further reading i know that in medieval counterpoint, notes were arranged in quartal and quintal intervals, maybe to better build modes? Was that quartal harmony ?, or i'm confusing things. It would be nice to have some examples, please

[@mychannel-u2p]

In 15:00 how did you decide which chords are the landing chords?

[@Kaisiilerite]

Why and when do we use quartal chords... ?someone pls explain

[@josephguitarist925]

question, the tristan chord on the 3 fret its the same with an F fukk diminished chord

[@nickname3798]

CIRCLE PROGRESSION LESSON PLEASE

[@QJamTracks]

I put it on my list

[@christopherheckman7957]

Yes, but what about secundal chords? 8-)

[@streetballer4rel]

great video mistakes in chapter 7 though - high E string!

[@FollowTheLion01]

I've always heard it pronounced scree-AH-bn. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's right.

[@karayuschij]

A quintal is 100kg, no ? So quintal chords are very heavy chords…

[@QJamTracks]

Yeah... ;)
