Thanks for the detailed teaching here. I have a much more clear concept now! As a beginner, you have taught me a lot Warren. I always don't understand why O here a raised now in the minor scale. Now I know it is the harmonic one. I have learnt the minor chord progression now. Before then, I just know the major one. Thanks so much!!
This is what helps me to keep these straight. Almost always: (Upper Case = Major Chord, and Lower Case = Minor Chord.) I and IV (Major Key) or i and iv (Minor Key) match in quality. iii and vi (Major Key) or III and VI (Minor Key) are the opposite quality of the tonic. V is always Major/Dominant 7. Diminished chords have 3 options: dim triad/half dim 7th/or fully dim 7th. These can be freely chosen by the player/composer for any place that a dim. chord could go. (Usually vii° (on Ti in major or minor key) or ii° (in a minor key)). I'm a "Classical" theory teacher and I'm REALLY learning a lot from seeing how you process all of this information differently. I've been trying to figure out how popular musicians use theory topics for ages. These lessons are perfect. Thanks very much!
I’m so happy that I found you on U- tube, you’re a God sent; just like the other Commentators, I have learned more with you, than all of my teachers combined; Thank you.
Sir, We are so blessed and this generation as a whole is blessed to have you as their teacher. You are not just different in the way you break things down to our understanding, but also to the fact that, what others will charge for $30, $50 etc, you literally give us for free. When I heard the help you were offering to third world countries, I became speechless. I don't know if that option is still exist, nonetheless, what you are doing for us is so amazing. Even if one buys any of your products, the money is only some sort of motivation, yeah....we can't really pay you. Please extend my greetings to your wife and especially to our baby boy... chao..!!!
Trying to play chords... I have played the C scale in the circle of fifths with seventh chords and was wondering about the minor chords in the circle of fifths... Until I saw this... This is Great understand of the chords in C scale and if there are majors... there are minors... I think I got it I don't know yet...
Outstanding lesson. Thanks a lot! For me the last progression has to be considered in C major ending in A minor simply because the harmony gravitates (in an aural and emotional way) toward C major, and A minor in the end. Really strong and immediate feeling for that.
Uve helped me so much I’ve got your online course and it’s great if anyone wants to learn that’s a great place to learn probably even better than having a in person teacher thank you
Wah gwan Mr warren, long time I don't touch base but I'm good, just giving thanks to the big man upstairs. Man I like how u clarified the major and minor scale because it can become very tricky, Bwoy this lesson is very articulate , I really appreciate this lesson ,I can see clearly now. Keep up the good work man, God bless👍
I watch from Sweden. I would like to come spend just a week with you in the US , I know my playing would certainly never be the same again after a week under your guidance . Let me know the possibilities.
Thanks for clearing that up, as a bass player that's now I work it out with my limited theory knowledge. Seen ppl going back to the major scale for the compare and the progression numbers didn't make sense. God bless.
Very educational o learning slowly I'm a veteran and i got hurt while jumping out of airplanes and broke my back and i got 2 steel plates in my back so play every day on my key board o really enjoyed your music.
Thanks Warren. Wow bro. Great video. Just becoming aware of minor scales. So this was a BIG help. You are really inspiring and educating a lot of us beginners. Thankful to see the global reach youre having. Greetings from SVG. Remember the first time I heard you play here. Good explanations and demonstrations of the principles and techniques. Plus di bonus! El Shaddai is one of my early favourite songs I sang in church. BIG UP. And bless up .
Thanks man very helpful and helped me to solve some confusion about minors. If I understood correctly then if you transpose from major to minor you completely change the vibe of the progression right? to the point some degrees combos wouldn't sound good at all in minor. That got me confused, after trying to transpose to natural minor, which I did correctly but its felt off, especially when 2 diminished was part of it Happy to find your channel - Subbed! Keep it up :)
God bless you Sir Warren! You’re doing amazing and helping some of us so much. Your bountiful reward awaits you. Could you please help me with some intermediate/advanced worship voicings and licks I can use in our services. Thank you
I so much appreciate you Sir for the effort you are putting to get us to another level of music. My question here is in the song Elshadai in the key of D minor why are you using dominant chord for the 4 chord instead of minor following the minor scale
