I wasn't paid or prompted to say this, but I joined the patreon and it is SO worth it! If anyone's on the fence and can afford to check it out for at least a month, do yourself a favor and just join. The extra lessons on the concepts from these KZbin videos are invaluable. If you apply yourself to really learning something he's covered, you will be shocked at how much your working knowledge of music theory improves. This isn't so much a recommendation as it is a gentle but insistent demand. You wanna improve? Get the extra depth on these already amazing lessons.

His Patreon is an awesome source that is valuable for guitar players in so many styles, just to keep this going is already worth it to sign up. The amount of content available there is pretty insane as well, I never regretted signing up 😊

Incidentally, one of my favorite moments in the first movement of moonlight sonata is the Melodic b6 (as the target tone) over a 2nd inversion minor chord, or a C note played atop of Em/B. But it's like that old saying, "you don't learn to play with fire by not playing with fire, and potentially burning a lot of bridges over your Melodic choices" - Miles Davids

I've watched hundreds of videos and none show this.

[@robindavis726]

Exactly. I gladly watch guitar theory lessons and believe I have a good understanding of it, except for this fundamental topic. I keep hearing about substitution and suspension chords. Finally, someone actually clearly explains them. For the first time I actually understand them. Great stuff. I have a feeling this fellow is going to open the doors to a much deeper understanding of theory for me. I'm excited to learn. Looks like I'm going to have to join

[@timfairfield407]

I’ve played many years and watch a crapload of videos. You are correct. this i have not seen in this way. I have seen improvisation using triad pairs but not triad pairs in relation to comping. Some of this I do already to some degree like Miles Davis So what. but you gave me some more options. And I had used some variation that sounded great but wasn’t sure why it worked. Now I do. Thanks.

[@mindcontrol67]

@@timfairfield407 I am very familiar with triad pairs but didn't really think of them as tension and release.I also knew of Playing the diatonic chords over the root note which I learned many years ago with the song Sweet Mellisa by the Allman bros,Now I can hear recognize their function against the root.

[@Sir_Sway]

this video is great! learned a lot

[@carlozivan]

amazing!!!

[@terrapin323]

Hell yeah dude

[@estuarycultures]

Beautiful. I love it. So, for example, over the G you could also play G dim/ F dim or Eb maj/ Db maj if I understand correctly.

[@mindcontrol67]

I guess an other way to look at this is any triad built of the root 3rd and 5 give the the upper extensions to the 9th as the other triads are tense because they give you the 11th and 13th.

[@daviddawkins]

[@cbolt4492]

Too heavy for me at the moment Danni. I'll get there

[@KenTeel]

At 4:26 seconds he says and avoid note is a note that is a half step above a chord tone. I think that an avoid tone can be a whole step or half step, above of below, any chord tone. In the case of the A that he mentions, the A is the sixth of the C chord, and only a whole step away from the G note (the 5th of the C chord.) Therefore it's an avoid note. Now, I verified this through AI, so that doesn't mean that it's true. So, someone correct me if I'm wrong. If you're playing an Am7 (a diatonic chord in the key of C) and you have a C in the bass, you're playing a C-G-C-E-A. This can be thought of as a C chord with an added 6th, and that 6th is the "avoid" note, but it's really a very mild tension that it produces (of course the octave that the G and the A note are played in, make a huge difference and the intervals change form a half step to a larger interval, if you change octaves of either of these notes.) So, it's more like a "flavored" C chord This is a great video. I can spend months on the information presented in this video. Bravo !! well done.

[@oldwesternaustralian8742]

I'm pretty sure the reason only the notes a half-step above a chord tone are referred to as "avoid notes" is because playing them in the octave above a chord makes a minor 9th, which is often thought to be one of the most uncomfortable sounds in western music. When you go a whole tone above or below a chord tone, or even a half step BELOW a chord tone, it just doesn't feel as uncomfortable.

[@KenTeel]

@@oldwesternaustralian8742 Yes, a minor 9th is pretty tense sound. You talked about going above and below a chord tone, an octave up, interestingly if play a CMaj7, like this, you've got C-E-G-B, where the B is an half step below the octave, and it give the sound a sweetness (even though the B is probably a tension note.) So, the B is a half step below the octave. However, if you were to play a Db instead, which is also a half step away from the root an octave up, you get what you were describing: A minor 9th. So, it depends on whether or not you're going up or down a half step from a chord tone, and whether or not you're including the octave of the chord tone, in addition to the half step, up or down, note. Interesting stuff. Thanks for your words. Ponder worthy stuff.

[@PaulDuggan]

Starting to feel like I’m in an abusive relationship since I subscribed to this channel. But I love it.

[@sab8328]

Very nice 😏

[@MightyTastyGuitar]

not sure if you answer these: but how is the V chord (G) a substitution for the I (C)? seems like tension-->resolution would always require the V chord to be a tension leading to the I, no?

[@marbinmusic]

It’s the upper structure of the V chord that gives it that tritone that makes it tense. In the key of C G is a consonant sound until you add a B diminished triad to it. The tension that you call that primary cadence of a Key is really the sound of the B summoned triad resolving to C in terms of the drama of the inside voices resolving. Good question!

[@MightyTastyGuitar]

[@monkofwar]

People like you, who attended Berkeley and take the ultra scientific approach to music, really are missing the point of music, in my opinion. Who gives a shit what substitutions or suspensions, or pairs, or Ionian routes, and extended sounds, and modes, and calibrations? Why? Music is based on and created to evoke emotions, not to write and memorize textbooks. Boring. You play great but the way you instruct is a snooze fest. With all due respect.

[@marbinmusic]

@@monkofwar jazz is not a type of music that you can navigate based on feeling. It’s like comparing riding a bike to operating a submarine. You only find it boring because you don’t understand it but the more you deepen your knowledge the more this world will open itself up to you.
