In this video I explore the power of inversions though its theory and application. The video gives some solid examples of why you would use this technique, and it also demonstrates the sound of progressions that use inversions, versus progressions that don't
This is a huge, foundational, concept that that every player should at least be somewhat familiar with so definitely try and study this as closely as you can.

things that keep me up at night: how to use modes why trevor doesnt have millions of views

@TrevorWongMusic 4 года назад

Hahaha, I hear ya on those modes though. Modes aren't as tricky as they might seem! Check out this video I made: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-80DTBNriqIs.html

I lose way too much sleep over modes...

@Aurora-oe2qp 3 года назад

I don't get it. What's hard with modes? It's just the different scales you can get from a single scale by starting at different notes. It's really not that hard at all. Edit: *By using the different notes as the root note.

I'm losing sleep over modes right now

@sophiafake-virus2456 3 года назад

@@Aurora-oe2qp Everybody gets it that far, but how to actually use them is where every guitar teacher gets vague. They usually loop one chord and play the notes of the mode. Fat lot of good that is.

Playing with a bassist in a full band setting make choosing chord voicings so much easier too. I've got a pretty bad tremor which makes a lot of chords with colorful extensions pretty difficult to play, but being able to let the bassist carry the root frees me up to build my voicings around the extensions I want, rather than focusing on keeping my root in the bass all the time.

@sethmcbee7294 4 года назад

I think this was a big part of why my introduction to math rock and Midwest emo happened through years of jazz guitar, rather than through the punk and grunge I played beforehand. Focusing on ergonomic styles of playing rather than the punk style of moving power chord shapes up and down the neck, always suited my hands much better, and having a more diverse palette of chord tones through inversions came as an added benefit.

@TrevorWongMusic 4 года назад

Rad! I think it'll help with any style you play, whether its a conscious thing or not, a lot of math rock sounds are based on inversions of familiar sounds

i love your channel and content, i was long ago searching for someone who could illustrate this topics the way you do it, theory + guitar, and advanced stuff. there are lots of channes about shredding and that but i got bored of rock, now I'm more into this type of thing.

Thanks for helping me out of this fret hand rut.

@roblosh8417 2 года назад

Wow, almost all of my original material turns out to be inversions, which would explain why I've never been able to communicate to other musicians what chords I'm playing. For example, one of my songs uses that same voicing you played for F#m7/E, among almost every other chord being inversions I haven't worked out the names for yet, and my friend would ask what chord I'm playing and I'd just look at the lowest note fretted and go "Idk it's E major something". I'm going to go through all my stuff and find out what I'm actually playing as a way to practice this! Great video.

how did you get so well versed in theory? i’m just starting and i would really like to get to your level of comfort with the guitar

@doug604 3 года назад

just do some internet searches or get a book and start learning. it's like anything else, find resources that cover the material and start working your way through it. two really nice things about learning music theory: 1) it's a popular topic so there are lots of high quality free or cheap resources 2) way easier to start trying to apply the concepts than, say, learning to be a mechanic - just pick up your instrument

@tele_alan 3 года назад

@@doug604 thank you :) I spend the last few weeks frustrated that I don't know theory, then realized this week that I know everything I need already, I just need to learn how to apply it onto my guitar, and its been going well since that aha moment
