This Simple Pattern Tells You Every Chord In Every Key (this blew me away!)

→ www.ambientguitaracademy.com/...
I've met with an old guitar teacher of mine recently, and he taught me this simple pattern that is a real game changer!
With it you can figure out what are the chords in any Major or minor keys!
Usually, if you want to learn all chords, you have to study harmonization by knowing all the notes on the fretboard, knowing your tone semi-tone scale sequences, memorization the order of chord structures...
But this easy pattern does it all for you! You can instantly know where are your Major, minor and diminished chords in your key within seconds.
If you know how to play a power chord with 2 fingers, you can already do that stuff!
This is going to be a trick I will teach a lot to my future students and especially beginners who want to start building their own chord progressions even if they don't have all the basics mastered yet.
Tell me what do you think in the comments! Did you already know this trick?

[@oldrrocr]

Thank you sir! and your instructor too. Incredible to me the things I have learned since the lockdown has started - and this ranks right up there (with learning a new language)! Kudos! Since I prefer the "C-shape" of chords to the "D-shape" I find it easier to use that, keeping in mind that it is up two frets from your definitive note pattern off the 5th string (9:50)... Hope that makes sense...

[@michaeldennis7029]

That was Major! I would not in my head have been able to come up with that because I'm too busy calling things either scale patterns or lead patterns. But thank you for posting this because it is definitely a pattern that makes the understanding of theory and chord progression very simple!

[@jvz773]

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that the notes on the fretboard just live where they live. They don’t move. They don’t DO anything. Learning to play is really a matter of discovering all the different ways to “see” the relationships between the notes. Eventually, this knowledge starts to build on itself and you start conceptualizing the same information in different ways. This is one such way, and it’s one I hadn’t really encountered before. Super helpful and very enlightening. Thanks so much! 🙏👍

[@everlastingsaturnalia]

Another way that's helpful, if you start to learn modes, is that each string will be one of the modes of any given key. If the open string isn't a root of one of the modes, then shift that mode on that string up by one fret. This is super helpful I've been finding for open tunings as well. I just wanted to add this as an aside to your comment that the notes don't move. Which is true, because they don't, but as soon as you switch to alternate tunings this can trip you up. But if you visualize the six strings as six individual modes, then you can easily adjust to other tunings as well. Hope this made some sense. For example: E major is A lydian is D# locrian is G# phrygian is B mixolydian.

[@TerryTinsel]

@@everlastingsaturnalia Please explain this more... Kinda get it, kinda don't...

[@melmel1071]

This!!!

[@everlastingsaturnalia]

@@TerryTinsel I'll try.. So in the example I provided, I used the key of E major. Notice the modes I highlighted were E major/ionian, A lydian, D# locrian, G# phrygian, and B mixolydian. I went in order of the strings for simplicity.. EADGBE. In E major, your open note on the D and G strings will not be part of the key. Thus, for those, you try building a mode from the first fret instead. Thus you get the D# root and the G# root for those strings. In E major, the mode that is built off of D# is D# locrian, and the mode built off of G# is G# phrygian. Alright. So if you look again, you can visualize the available notes of your key on each string individually by assessing which mode is built from that string's open position. Or the first fret in the exception cases like D# and G#. For example, the A string in this case (A lydian) would have the following frets available for this key. 0 (open) 2 4 6 7 9 11 12 The D string is trickier since you're building from the first fret. D# locrian looks exactly like D locrian except moved up one fret. So like, D locrian would be... 0 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 But D# locrian is... 1 2 4 6 7 9 11 13 Using this method you can easily map out the notes of any key for each string. Once you memorize the relationship of modes across strings, it becomes easier. Ie: knowing that the modes always stack the same way across the strings in standard tuning.. Ie: if low E is phrygian, then A is minor, D is Dorian, etc. Finally, returning to the point about open tunings, this same formula makes mapping out open tunings a breeze. Example: DGDGBD - open G In this, you know that if you wanted to play in G major, your G strings will both be the major mode. Thus your D strings will all be the mixolydian mode. And your B string will be phrygian. So it would be like this in total: D mixolydian G major D mixolydian G major B phrygian D mixolydian Hopefully that clears things up further. Maybe one day soon I can make a video or something explaining this concept. I just added it to this comment because I thought it was interesting that they pointed out that the notes never move, which as I said, is true. But it's good to have some other methods in your pocket to approach alternate tunings which also then helps if you want to play like, mandolin or lap steel. This approach works well since it's a string by string approach and will work for any fretted instrument.

[@TerryTinsel]

[@JMSGroovetank]

I agree, and its so nice to finally find one that lives up to the "one trick pony" description , I almost passed this over with a snort of disbelief but hit play and gave it a chance SOOOOOO glad i did. Learned the traditional way described and now having a light bulb moment.

[@bradriccardo5461]

@megadave 1 second ago For some people I imagine this is almost pointless, if you are good with your ears and can find other chords in the key you’re playing in without any theory or by using a pattern like this one then maybe you don’t need this. My first 2 years of playing however my ears were totally useless so understanding the chords that should work via theory was my way of knowing the options available. How do you go about finding other chords to play alongside your 1 chord? Is it just trial and error or do you have a system of your own?

[@aniket80]

Are you kidding me???? you have no idea how easy you made my playing and jamming with folks....this is incredible.

This lesson is so simple that even I, with my limited theory understanding, got it! Thank you for unlocking this knowledge for us! I only wished I had my guitar with me right now 😢

Glad it was helpful!

Brilliant and clear instruction, there are MANY guitar teachers charging a lot of money every week, that will never show you this easy fix. Excellent lesson 🙏☘️☘️☘️

[@tonytypesalot]

okay, i have to say this probably would have every old-school music theoretician flabbergasted at how easy it is to open the world of harmony to more people. Plus, this video is wonderful for keyboardists who want to get more comfortable with the relatively nonlinear guitar. Kudos, man!

[@stefanbrowne]

I feel like these simple pattern recognition tricks are what prodigies and savants natural see and the rest of us idiots have our minds blown when we finally get it. Thanks for the video.
