Wow this is a lightbulb lesson for me. These are sounds I've heard many times but could never figure out what the formula was. Thanks Jeff!

[@JeffMcErlain]

You’re welcome!

[@ianbartrum842]

Beautiful chord voicings and so useful and easy to apply. Great lesson. 😊

Love these clear, direct lessons, Jeff. Thank you.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thank you and you are welcome!

[@cognoscenticycles4351]

That was a very enlightening lesson! Very useful chordal ideas that I can put to work!

[@JeffMcErlain]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@TheBeriking]

Awesome lesson Jeff, thank you! It's refreshing to look at concepts that are a little different. Keep up the great content!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thank you!!

[@jimamsden]

Oh boy! Is this fantastic! What a cool way to create chord voicings that fit with the scale. Thanks Jeff.

Thank you Jeff, learned a bunch on this one!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Hey Man!! Thanks!

[@scoobydoo936]

This was super useful! I've used these chords many times but never thought about it this way. Thanks for the insight!

[@JeffMcErlain]

[@marcelgaryjames]

Like the two cameras on both guitar parts. It’s really helpful for following the chord progression and for understanding how both guitars interact. Great lesson Jeff!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks!

[@vdrums]

Hey Jeff..love all of your content but this was truly an eye-opener. I can't stop playing the progression!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Oh awesome!!

[@AZFunk]

This is fantastic...knew all the theory behind it but never quite put it together. Can't wait to wear it out with my bands ;) Thanks Jeff!

Blew my mind Brother, what a great lesson. Thank you.

Right on!

Absolutely fantastic lesson for me. I really like this one. Sometimes a KZbin lesson feels like it was made for me. Thanks Jeff ! Fantastic.

[@JeffMcErlain]

That’s fantastic!

[@johnkas23]

Awesome lesson!

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks!

Thanks for watching and being here!!

@@JeffMcErlain your posts are always great. I’m trying to organize my lesson time, so I can subscribe to your coursework.

Sadly the name “Jazzy Jeff” is already taken.

[@JeffMcErlain]

😂

[@stratman9449]

haa Jeff...i was just going to write "cool sounds" and concept...when you said it at the same time...yep cheers...i'll try that later....BUT i have just finished replacing the electronics (potis etc) and pickups in my prs (SE!!) 594 sc with seymour duncans (neck 59 sh or what and bridge "Slash 2.0 zebras...!!haha...)....and it works....and sounds great (much better) and looks very cool...cheers....have a nice weekend.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Nice!! Enjoy that gtr!!!

[@mikeandrulonis6553]

Many years ago I had a guitar teacher who had introduced me to the concept of diatonic 4ths and he often cited Miles Davis, but this lesson is next level cool. Thanks Jeff.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks Mike!! I’m glad you enjoyed it and sounds like you had a good teacher back then!!

[@felixayala05]

Wonderful.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Awesome!

[@ruprechtconstructioncompan3172]

A good way to learn the neck, harmonize your playing, and sound very sophisticated , with minimal dedication

[@JeffMcErlain]

😉

[@Ian-lm5ep]

Wow. First prs that sounds good to me on the youtubes

[@JeffMcErlain]

I have two and love them. I do replace the volume pots and remove the treble bleeds. Makes them sound more vintage imo.

[@FerrisFlyer]

Amazing. can't wait to practice this! Is there a major version of something similar?

[@JeffMcErlain]

Yes. It’s the same. This is all from C major so if you are familiar with some modal theory, this is also things that you can use for G mixolydian, A aeolian, F Lydian, etc. Try these chords over a G7 vamp.

[@FerrisFlyer]

@@JeffMcErlain I will do that. thanks so much. love your teaching and playing man!

[@JeffMcErlain]

@@FerrisFlyer🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@robbyron769]

Another great concept and so well explained.However I didnt understand why the opening was about 4ths.Then we went into the prgression with chords built on the Dorian mode going up one note at a time constructing chords with 3rds- so where are the 4ths beiing used?

[@JeffMcErlain]

The chords are built on 4ths. Each of the notes we use to construct the chords are a 4th above the last. D G C F - E A D G etc.

[@davidcromwell6805]

Can't believe you kept this esoteric knowledge secret from your faithful followers, Jeff...until now! What else are you not telling us?! ;)

[@JeffMcErlain]

I can’t give it all way!

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Are these quartal chords? I remember a piano teacher on YT talking about them. Another way it seems to get these chords fast is make the "7 chord" shapes we play most... and drop the 5th down to the fourth on each chord. Works great off the D string chords too.

[@JeffMcErlain]

👍

[@dontuttle]

@jeffmcerlain So are you just soloing over this in C major?

[@JeffMcErlain]

Basically but we’d hear it as D Dorian.

[@Shredsofeden]

Great

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks!

[@jeremyversusjazz]

that prs sounds killer. which amp? yes, those scales of chords sound great 👍

[@JeffMcErlain]

Thanks. That’s a Fractal FM9 on the JTM 45 model.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

@@JeffMcErlain what! all those world class amps and an OX and you’re using a fake one! just kidding i give my tubes a breather all the time and run the pedalboard into the Dream 65>apollo>Luna and get great sounds. love that one out lick you played over dorian… do you know which one I’m talking about? What was that my ears not good enough to tell you what it was so I’m asking lol

[@JeffMcErlain]

@@jeremyversusjazz ha! The ox is digital so it’s all the same once it goes into that! that out kick was just this concept! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJnVXq2Kiqt1qMUsi=0QQIne8YCUkbF5O6

[@jeremyversusjazz]

@@JeffMcErlain true… I kind of feel like I notice a difference, running an amp through the ox versus starting out digital, but you’re probably right and thanks for the link, brother! I’ll check it out!

[@leechild4655]

Me: Are you a Jazz guitarist or Blues guitarist. Jeff:...Yes.

[@JeffMcErlain]

Ha! Yeah and rock and metal in there.

If it’s endorsed by Kenny Bania, it’s good enough for me. He’s the voice of a new generation-MY generation…

[@JeffMcErlain]

Soup IS the meal.

[@13thAMG]

As a jazz fan/player (badly) I never understand the Jazz-phobic attitudes of something being too 'Jazzy'. There are even heavy metal players who are excellent jazz players and Jazz was they're root learning style. It teaches you so much more than the 1 4 5 Cowboy retail brain numbing. 🤠

[@JeffMcErlain]

I don’t either but I think people get scared by the harmony behind it. I think it’s because their exposure to jazz may be limited. Doing what I can to help!

[@13thAMG]

@@JeffMcErlain You do it well, brother. You're one of the greats yourself, afterall. 😉

[@JeffMcErlain]

@@13thAMG I appreciate that!!

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

Dig it. Much more sophisticated sounding than vamping on D minor!
