Hello again Folk Friends! I'm finally back to making videos and will be attempting to upload something roughly once a fortnight. Today's topic is about how to use the first inversions of minor and major chords to create cool, fluid chord progressions. I'll be giving an example in the key of A dorian with an Irish jig called Cliffs Of Moher. You can also apply this Irish guitar chord progression to other traditional tunes in A minor, or move it up and down the fretboard for tunes in E minor, G minor or B minor.

Great Nye. These videos will compliment your new book so really looking forward to them!

@folkfriend 2 года назад

I hope so!

@chrissiekeelanmagicvegan9781 2 года назад

Your new book is brilliant. I received it yesterday, and have already learned new things from it! You've explained things so well, and the diagrams make everything so much easier to understand. I love that you mentioned all your regular visitors to the Friday videos too. That was a really nice thing to do - thanks 🌞👍. Also, it arrived the day after I ordered it - so, fantastic service too! Thanks again. 🙂 xox🌱❤️🌿xox

Thanks Chrissie! I'm really glad you're enjoying it :D.

@briandwi2504 2 года назад

The new shop looks great. Great video and thanks for putting in the chord diagrams. Your new book on chord inversions is excellent. Really nicely laid out, lots of clear diagrams and explanations making sense of quite complex music theory. Great stuff Nye! 👍

Cheers Matt! I went up to Cumbria last weekend btw, I can see why you like it! Very scenic and the ornamental lighthouse of Ulverston was a delight 😅

Good tutorial Nye- simple and clear

Hi Nye! Great to see you back on here. Your new shop looks brilliant. I've got your new book on my Christmas prezzie list, so hopefully they won't be sold out by then! 😊 xox🌱❤🌿xox

@folkfriend 2 года назад

Thanks Chrissie! I'm very pleased with it :). Books should be no trouble as Amazon just print them as people order them! Drop me an email if you'd like to order one directly though, they're a jot cheaper that way and come in a genuine Folk Friend recycled padder bag 🤘

@Melvorgazh 2 года назад

Seen Matt Heaton and a couple others doing a similar lesson but those diagrams really help. I hope your mom is alright, Nye. And do you have a local Irish session in Sheffield? It would be awesome to see other musicians you play with on your channel :) Got a fiddle player pal around? Iechy da! Have a good week! Tomó

@folkfriend 2 года назад

She's very well thankyou! I don't really go to sessions often to be honest, I pretty much live in the shop atm :L

@ad2894 2 года назад

Great tutorial, thanks Nye! That chromatic transition sounds great. Do the music theory gods generally allow chords outside of the key for transitions like this? (In reference to the A major chord)

@folkfriend 2 года назад

Thanks Adam! They gods find it to their liking if said chords are brief passing chords. They tend to raise their eyebrows a bit more sternly if the non-diatonic chord appears in the first half of a bar. You'll also notice that in the second half of the 3rd bar there is no C note so the C# in my A major isn't clashing with anything. If there were a C in there somewhere then it might not have sounded so nice, so just listen out when you're test driving these chords with different tunes and if they don't sound right somewhere then don't put them there again 👍

@ad2894 2 года назад

@@folkfriend yes I see, thanks!

@Melvorgazh 2 года назад

Does that book suit standard tuning as much as others? I see it landing below my X-Mass tree. Dunno why 🤔

@folkfriend 2 года назад

It does indeed! It's all written in standard tuning :)

@KennedysKitchen 2 года назад

I'm in the US . . . what's the best way to buy the book? I've been working on chord inversions this past year, so your book will be perfect for me.

@folkfriend 2 года назад

Either the e-book if you're happy to read it from a screen or using Amazon.com if you'd prefer a paperback. Thanks!

@KennedysKitchen 2 года назад

Excellent. I will order the actual book.

@folkfriend 2 года назад

@@KennedysKitchen Great thanks John! Let me know how you get on :)

@PaganFagan 2 года назад

is that a lightening bolt razorback V? You ship to canada? lol

@folkfriend 2 года назад

It is indeed! I have actually just shipped a Gretsch Streamliner to Nova Scotia- it cost about £200 for the shipping including the insurance and the guitar is up at £500 so you'd be looking at about 1200 Canadian dollars for your very own Razorback to be shipped out there. I hear guitars are much dearer in Canada so perhaps that's still a reasonable price?
