Best music theory lesson I've had! The fact it was done on a guitar (not a piano) just makes it the more awesome.

[@guy9197]

this opens up SO MANY new things for musicians

[@armandoroman4049]

Dude.. I had to rewatch a couple of times to understand, not b/c you're a bad teacher, but b/c I just couldn't get it. Now that I do.. it feels like there's is endless way to approach and play anything.. it's mind blowing @beyond the guitar academy

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Glad you persevered! This is definitely a powerful concept. That's exactly the feeling I want to empower each and every one of you to have in your playing and arrangements!

[@AaronWillmon]

This is something I have been lacking in my own arrangements and I can’t wait to try it out.

[@resatkoksalan8262]

[@mildredpika-aloina9956]

[@jankowalski8471]

thank you so much, you're making great content!

[@andytheindividual3862]

Always so good man. Thank you so much :)

[@rgreigjazzguitar]

Great topic and presentation on simplifying it. I usually think of reharmonization in two ways: 1. Enhancing the chord with extensions and tensions 2. Completely replacing the chord with something else. Great video!

[@NomeTemp]

Amazing content, mate! Thanks a lot! I'll apply some reharmonization soon and see how it goes =D

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Yes! Let me know how it goes

[@bernardogarcia1814]

Great lesson Nathan like always love the new video edition too ,👏👏👏👏🎼

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

[@eugeniocapodicasa6949]

Crystal Clear Nathan, Thank's for the lesson, Will be usefull this month. Ciao! from Québec

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Happy to help, Eugenio. Looking forward to hearing what you do with the challenge

[@estebannolla3291]

Amazing

[@aysubab7709]

Most tutors or the harmonization lessons advise you to play the triads / chords of the diatonic scale up and down the neck.. the way you played each note of the scale with 3 chord options and the melody note being the root or the 5th etc demonstrated clearly made me go aha why don't I play all the notes in each scale and apply it to all common keys .. so thank you very much but I guess we will have to jazz it up a bit and add some more notes to the chords which is a step further ..

[@GarGlingT]

This is on c major, which is the same as A minor, minor scale have 3 type; natural, harmonic and melodic scale, also have different minor and major chord. If I choose F major side it will get one B flat, it is still avoidable subdominant chord.

[@ruslannikolenko9469]

That's unfair! You've difinitely played the "Sad" version in a more sensual way! :D Great lesson, Nathan :)

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Have you ever used reharmonization in your guitar arrangements or compositions? If not, do you plan on it after watching this video?? Let me know in a comment!

[@prenomnom3930]

Literally doing some reharmonization right now :D

[@swaroov9236]

I have possibly build several small arrangements

[@GuitarSVD]

New Nerd Shrine!! Excellent content!

[@vijayeshnarayan]

Sound of ur guitar is so awesome. Which guitar & chords do you use? Loved the lesson too.

[@saeidqanei4935]

Can you make a video about your room !? :)

[@prodbyaye8751]

Can u make a lesson on improvising pls🙏

[@jnpshell3628]

Thank you for the mini class. How do one look at the music sheet (notes) and translate it to chords? Pls help as I’m only a beginner studying on my own due to lock down.

[@GarGlingT]

Collect note in each measure into on cluster of chord vertically, like if it was C major (C E G) it will have at least (C and E). Before read a sheet, notice key signature and find what tonic is, Like C major and A minor they depend which one start first and it is called tonic chord. Read more on Scale chord.

[@abd-ix5qd]

In choosing the chord on a particular melody, does is have to be within the scale of melody? Most of time I find it hard to identify thw scale used in a melody

[@GarGlingT]

I found he uses minor related key because variation of chord is 3 type are not the same. You can listen to river flow in you, yiruma which he use chord progression without modulation just change minor type.

[@lucabarchiesi5321]

So, correct me if I'm wrong... You are basically keeping the same notes for the melody but you are changing the key of the song?

[@xavierlebeuf3061]

I haven't watched the whole video so I might but wrong but I think he is only varying the chord functions (for example switching the I for the vi) within the same key

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Xavier is correct. Same key, but using different chords within that key that share at least one of the same notes

[@lucabarchiesi5321]

Oh ok, now is crystal clear! Thank you!

[@GarGlingT]

It is A minor key because originally this melody is c major they are related somehow.

[@jamupsnepali7200]

Plz reharmonize famous songs
