The Genius Chords Of Paul McCartney

[@simond4106]

Love it. The way that the D7-9 resolves to the G with minimal fingering changes is so lovely and neat.

[@russellsmith6881]

Thanks Mike as Always! Paul Macca is a better Piano player than most people realize including me. Live and let die is a fav. Incredible writing.

Never got super deep into the Beetles but loved the stuff that came afterwards. George was amazing and you definitely can't take it away from Paul. Master songwriter!

[@thomaswoodcock6017]

Love Paul McCartney ❤ absolute legend I'm surprised you don't do more beatles stuff on your channel mike 👏😊

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

This is very true! I’m a HUGE Beatles fan!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

heres a good one, i just learnt, if you think of a 251 in C, -D min7 - G dom 7 - C maj 7, now play the first two chords, then the same move a semi tone down (D flat to F sharp dom 7) then repeat this down another semi tone ie C min 7 to F dom 7 then the one chord of tha new key, B flat maj 7!

That 345 is truly beautiful

[@jshearer94]

Thanks for the video! Always love to see the 345!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

this will be good! beatles chords are always not as simple as you'd think at first! lennon likes his D first inversion banjo chord shape! i totally get your love of chords, i am the same, i tend to blur chords and scales in my mind now? it's limitless, you can even play other chords over a chord..

[@eichaan]

Such an accessible and helpful lesson. Thank you!

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

Aww lovely to hear.

[@Nikoo033]

10:49 liked this bit about chords with different bass notes. Been trying to do that more, as that thumb starts to want to move over the neck at times 😂

[@aminahmed2220]

What a awesome video have a great day Mike and also happy first week of October ❤😊

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

it works because a flat ninth interval has to drop a semi tone in the next chord hence G maj contains a D note, you can hear that augmented 5th sound against the G key centre create and resolve the tension, nice.. :D

[@markgraham2312]

Great job!

[@michaelsullivan257]

Brilliant lesson Mike!

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

Thank you Michael!

[@howboutdat9376]

Bro looks absolutely majestic

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

Aww shucks!! 😊

[@whiskersb5296]

Great lesson. Love chord stuff. With single note lead type stuff, I feel like give enough time, I can figure anything out. Something like a dominant 7 with a flat 9, I need a little help.

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

It’s such a great chord. More you recognise and play chords like that, the more familiar you will get when working them out.

[@whiskersb5296]

@@MikeBradleyofficial And when you play the proper chord like that there’s this great moment where you say there it is- now it sounds like on the record!

[@mikehallvideos]

Paul Bloody McCartney!

[@matthewchunk3689]

New subscriber here. Oscar Isaac gots nothing on you. Great video and insight!

[@StratsRUs]

Since chords come from scales you can experiment far more, just knowing the key.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

sorry bro but that's not G diminished 7th it's 'G half diminished' AKA 'min 7 flat 5' it contains a diminished triad, but the 7th is minor, not diminished, the full diminished 7th would contain an E, as in it all notes are a minor third apart, your lessons are great though and your a great player, it is notoriously confusing and rarely explained distinction in music theory!

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

You know what.. you’re right! Apologies.

[@cripzrus]

Try changing your C's to a C6

[@MikeBradleyofficial]

The Beatles certainly loved using 6th chords so wouldn’t be surprised.

[@seananderson9346]

He goes from teaching McCartney's great jazz chords to interrupting with a course on minor penatonic. I've been lately wondering why jazz players are so snobby, but this is teaching why.

[@kye903]

Ah yes... "Makes you give in and TRY"; that popular expression that we all use... 🙄

[@dinnerwithgreedo]

Give in and CRY. Just sayin’
