Where to Start With Music Theory, Episode 3: Analyzing Major Key Songs

[@marimatsucover4735]

Like all the lazy People (rock musician ) I was crashed in my couch, looking for a music theory channel try to figure out just a little bit what I m doing.(Took me 20 years to get interessed in music basic theory. Lazy guy. Rock musician) I watched lot of music lessons. Learn a little bit, lost a lot. And suddenly Mr Haugen ! I swear this the first time of my life that i make connection with notes, scales and chords. Just amazing ! So clear! This isn't even my language ! In french as you probably know, we do not use letters, but even with this little mind swap to do, this is so clear and cool. Sit properly on my sofa for three days now, guitar on my hands. Thinking about it when I am walking. I"m salivating cause there is still lot a lessons to watch... All this long comment just to say an enormous THANK YOU sir ! A french fan

[@quententruhn5025]

Your no bullshit intro pleases me and I appreciate it. It's beautiful

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks Quenten! I am obsessed with not wasting people's time with the intro/promo! I play just enough so that folks trust that I have good tone and know what I'm talking about, and then get right to the info!

[@1hawkguy92]

Thanks for your lighthearted way of imparting you wisdom. Sounds great too.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Thanks John - I try to keep it real here! The doofus you watch here is the same guy my friends and family know all too well :-)

[@chilldude30]

I love you Eric, and this series has been genuinely paradigm shifting for me as a guitarist, but that pizza analogy around 4:40 was ridiculous 😂

[@Stevelemontrudy]

I just found your videos yesterday. I haven't touched my guitar in years (like 15) buy now I'm feeling re-energized. I really appreciate your style of teaching. Thanks and glad I found you. I wish you were around when I was in high school, but better late than never!

These have been super helpful. Reviewing these videos a few times has really made some light bulbs go off.

I love the way you recap then continue / connect what was learned with what we are learning today.. I have learned songs in the past but I always forget them. I am hoping learning the instrument will help me learn a song for the long term

Really enjoyed the insight as to why the b7 is used in so many rock progressions makes total sense. It adds a unique sound and a nostalgic feel. This music theory series is so good

[@SpookieVonDookie]

Digging this theory series a lot. Watching weekly and its really effecting my progress in a big way. Thanks buddy!

Another great lesson. Very digestible chunks. Just the right amount of info to get your head around.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

I try very hard to keep my audience in mind! I went to music school so you don't have to! It's very tempting to vomit out everything all at once, but it's just too much, and not necessary for roots for and alt rock!

[@KevinRussellSpaceSimSTEAMphony]

Thank you! Such a great reminder about its usefulness for transposing songs to keys for each singers comfort! (Now you'll have to do a video for *finding your own sing able (or swingable) vocal range and keys* (well there are other ch. for that). You also reminded me to of the original reason for the invention of our (in the West) Equal Tempered tuning system = so transposition could be accommodated Court to Court, depending on how good the instruments and instrumentalist the composers found when they got their gig.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Aha I didn't know that! Makes sense though!

[@jltrem]

1:20- "Because us guitar players tend to write in those keys, we don't really need to worry about D flat or um,.. A flat or Kiev..." Eric's right, we don't really need to worry about the capital of Ukraine.

That happens to me, I keep coming back to the same progressions. hahaha Thanks!

[@bertbouton7157]

Really appreciate all of the insight, Eric. These subjects can be so daunting to sift through.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! Music teachers accidentally intimidate their students with all the possibilities! Thing is, with roots rock and alt rock, it's much simpler than that!

[@braunaaron]

Love this series. Thanks so much for putting it together. Please keep em coming!

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Will do Aaron! I'm gonna alternate between solos/arrangements and these more linear vids :-)

[@ijwhite]

These are just great! Thank you so much for laying it all out like this. I feel that I've gotten more in these last three videos than I have over the past year reading music theory books for guitarists.

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yay! Theory books are great, but they tend to go too far into the exact reasons "why" things work. While I totally agree that's important to know at some point, it's not necessary in the beginning.

How I wish I'd watched this video 30 years ago. More brain boosting, thanks Eric

[@matthogan-jones117]

Right, first song I'm going to deep (dish) dive into is "Lola" 👍

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Good choice! I'll tell ya right now there's a bVII chord in the verse, AND a bVI borrowed from E minor! I can't remember off the top of my head, but the bridge might be in a different key so watch out for that as well :-)

[@illicio2811]

Major 3 is a great chord in major. It uses the flat six and sound great in other chords in the key of C like Fm, Ab7, Db7, E7, etc.

[@carloscarlito73]

I ain't gonna lie, I started having withdrawal symptoms early this morning, checking back on KZbin, looking for Eric's Friday lesson. I can now go on with my day (and digest this theory lesson this weekend).

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Watch out - I may start publishing at 12pm EST friday. It's a damn algorithm thing - KZbin determines the popularity of the vid by it's engagement in the first 3 hrs. When I publish a vid at say 9am EST, most of America is still asleep so no clicks. If i wait till 12pm I have a better chance of the East Coast and the West Coast watching.

[@417altavista]

I finally am able to articulate why theory is so hard( thanks to this vid). It’s not the theory, it’s when and how to break the rules of theory to make good music.

Finally tried this for the first time yesterday after 18 months of learning songs and struggling with theory. Merle haggard song “can’t break the habit”. Figuring it out by listening and playing along to see what fits was so instantly helpful and rewarding I almost laughed.

[@tylerl8353]

Lovin the tidbits of info. Many teachers try and introduce too many concepts all at once. I have been eating pizza for many many years , mostly frozen, I am getting closer to making one with each lesson. Can you speak to adding toppings on your pizza?

[@EricHaugenGuitar]

Yeah! Some folks describe asking their teachers about theory as "...drinking from a fire hose!" The thing is, for roots rock and alt rock - the vocabulary is much smaller than it is for jazz, and trained music teachers tend to forget this. You gotta know your audience! And yeah - we'll get to "toppings" 6th chords, 7th chords, and and other common alterations :-)

Hi Eric .. content is great but what I like is your presentation .. nice room and backdrop also. I will check out your vids. Looking for chord progression with a couple of note imbleshment before moving to the next chord or introducing an instrumental bridge before going back to verse. I have an understanding of some music theory (scales / pentatonics) but my fingers feel stuck to the chord shape .. at the same time I'm screaming in my head just do something .. the hesitation is crippling. Could you give a demonstration ¿¿ Hi from - Agnes Water, Queensland Australia. It's the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef 🏖🏊🏾‍♂️🏝🏄🏿‍♂️

Yeah! Have you seen this quasi-viral vid of mine? kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6upZYZ6mcp4jJI Basically, any of my "Hendrix Doublestop" lessons are about this exact thing! It really is true that behind every chord you've ever mashed your fingers to make, is a pentatonic scale!

Dude! My low E is always louder than the other strings on my mustang! One of the many quirks of that guitar, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dead like it doesn't resonate? My strat is like that, it's just that the string is too close to the fret. Too lazy to raise the action and re-intonate.
