[@stefanguy]

It came to my attention that people weren't able to access the PDF file. For some reason the file was removed from the download button! It's been fixed. Apologies: store.stefanguy.com/yt25001-01

If the chord progression is written directly, it will help more music lovers who don't understand English, like me. Happy New Year.

[@stefanguy]

Love this chord progression. Jordan Rakei uses it in his track 'Learning' and I always wondered why it was so infectious, and now I know!

[@stefanguy]

Ah dope, I'm gonna check it out!

This progression is also in Leon Thomas- Yes it is !

[@stefanguy]

I was hoping I'd get some mentions of other songs that use this progression! Dope thanks bro, I'll have a listen. Still need to finish MUTT, solid album so far!

[@atibakojo3478]

Thanks,sorta found this on my own but nice to see the "theory" behind it.

[@richochet]

Really well done Stefan! May consider one of your courses if one pops up that suits.

Always thankful for your videos Stefan!!! You're definitely the R&B Guy! Edit: Hey Stefan, is there something wrong with the website? I entered my email but could access the page. Keep getting "Something went wrong"

[@stefanguy]

Hey thank you man! And thanks for the heads up. What page are you trying to sign up at, I’ll look into it!

[@playmakersmusic]

@@stefanguy Hey Stefan thanks for the reply, it was after entering my email to get the free chord chart pdf. The link(which brings to me to your website) that was sent to my email gave me the message "Something went wrong"

[@stefanguy]

Oh really?? Damn? I just switched to a platform called Podia to handle all of that stuff but that doesn’t sound good at all! Hit me up via my contact form on stefanguy.com and I’ll send it to you personally. Sorry about that man

[@taylindivinesounds]

👍👍👍

[@rudolphdandelion6840]

What a soulful progression? But why in the major context not the minor?

[@stefanguy]

Hey - Growing up, playing in church and in bands we've always only ever called numbers from the Major perspective. Why? Because in the context of playing a song, major or minor is irrelevant. I'm assuming you understand relative majors/minors - that every major key has a relative minor key where the notes are exactly the same and thus the chords are exactly the same. For example G major has the same notes and chords as E minor. It makes in 10x easier to have 12 keys in your head that you know the numbers for than 24. It's of no added benefit to know numbers in minor keys. (As far as I'm aware).

[@rudolphdandelion6840]

@@stefanguy I see! Because I thought when you land on the 6 chord it sound very stable and resolved, thats why I thought the key is in the vi. But totally understand from the teaching standpoint. Thanks for the answer!

[@rafaeldasilva2119]

The sharp 4 is basicly a secondary dominant of the #5 ?

[@benams]

Hey man thank you . Happy New year . The link doesn’t work for The pdf 😢

[@stefanguy]

Happy new year! And that’s strange, I just tried it and it worked. Try this link store.stefanguy.com/yt25001-01

[@benams]

@ it keeps showing me this message “something went wrong if you keep seeing this screen contact the site owner “

[@Jocetheangel888]

You have a stop on the PDF download. Is there any way I can still get it?

[@stefanguy]

Hey, I haven't stopped it but it seems like some people are having trouble getting it. I'm going to work on a solution today. And I'll drop a message back here & the pinned comments once it's done.

[@stefanguy]

Links been fixed. Apologies!

[@NobodyImportant-ef3de]

The only thing about youtube is someone is like "I want to sure you something that I've been hearing lately" Basically thousands have used it and it's being shared with thousands more. I miss before when everyone had their unique style. Seems like few want to come up with stuff of their own.

[@stefanguy]

I hear you, but it’s just a single line within a 9 minute video. Are there other channels that create the same type of content in the same way? I’m referring to the video as a whole, not just the line you’ve highlighted. More importantly, is the information not useful in any way? First and foremost, I create videos to share what I know or am learning. If you found none of it useful, then fair enough. But if you found any of it helpful, my approach would always be to "take the meat and leave the bones." In other words, take what’s useful and leave the rest. There are many reasons why someone might choose to include something in their video when posting on their channel. I could give you plenty of reasons why what you’ve pointed out is so common, and I actually agree with you but ultimately, it’s not that important. There’s 9 more minutes of content to discuss where the substance lies. Let’s do that. Let’s talk about the theory, corrections to the theory even, or the music itself. Do you create yourself?

[@raykane2063]

In the learning process you have to copy and understand before you come up with your own style.

[@NobodyImportant-ef3de]

@@stefanguy I just want to mention that this is more about youtube and as mentioned I miss the days of pure creativity. I respect, and appreciate what you do which is why I didn't mention your name, I mentioned youtube, I used the statement as a general example. I ended by saying i miss the days when people had unique styles. So...this isn't to you. You're just teaching what you know and I highly respect that and hope you have a million subs by the end of the year. It's just on social media everyone is doing the same things thus making nobody stand out these days. Yes I produce music, film, and do photography. SUCCESS TRULY! I hope all great things come to you this year!

[@stefanguy]

I feel you and appreciate this comment. I took it personally because I understood exactly what you mean. And that’s on me for taking it personally. It frustrates me too, that we have to package information in such a way, with thumbnails, catchy titles and hooks. When all I’d love is to give the information straight and for all my subscribers to actually see the video in their feed. It’s why I’m so infrequent on the posts because of all of the additional things you have to do if you want your content to actually be seen despite people subscribing to receive your content. Retention is king, low retention, KZbin says we’ll just stop recommending the video. It’s been a huge pain point. Even still you’ve given me something to think about. Thank you for your well wishes though man, really appreciate it and same goes to you this year with all your creative endeavours! 🙏🏾
