@@tahtahdestinedforgreatness5752inversions are essentially the same chords but the notes are ordered differently. Eg: R35 would be your standard chord 35R would be 1st inversion 5R3 would be 2nd inversion 😊 They are all the same chord but having either the 3rd or 5th on top gives that particular chord a different sound/feel 😊
I’ve been playing 23 years, self taught. Been trying to understand theory, intervals and inversions lately. This was a fascinating breakdown of songs I play and hear often. I often say, you just need to be shown something small that opens up a window into a whole new world of playing. Excellently presented and great that you show the chord boxes too!
"Excuse the singing" ( 8:00 ) ... I'd like to argue that the beauty of your voice is in the delicateness and in the *subtlety* ( 6:20 ) Don't ever apologize for such a great voice
Hey man, I am a self taught guitarist and not the best one. There are other videos that tell you that triads and inversions are important and so I can play them and understand the shapes. But what I didn't get up until this point was how you can use them for voicing and how beautiful this can be. And even though I would say that the guitar is a bit too quite, when you sing at least, the combination of singing and playing really helps me to understand the importance even better. Thank you very much !
I'm glad to hear that this helped fill in some info for you! Thanks for the feedback. It's helpful to hear your thoughts on the guitar being a bit too quiet too - I agree, and I will adjust accordingly in the future. Cheers! -Jared
Thank you so much for the calm, almost ASMR-like vibe and not the "SLAP THAT BELL" kind of RU-vid schtick of so many other vids. I don't feel on edge immediately when watching this.
@@soundguitar thank you. Your lesson helped me apply things I've understood theoretically for a couple of decades, but just now am truly becoming able to apply practically. For that I thank you sincerely. 🙏
one thought...what a "cool" great teacher I can get after 25 years of noodeling around for nothing. or at least what I felt after having watched this great tutorial ...thanks a lot Sir.
So funny learnt this "technique" from my dad it was the only method he had when he was gigging and someone asked him if he new how to play a certain song. No phones no internet so he would have to hum the melody and find the chords.
I know practically nothing about music, basically a three chord guitarist. Just found this video - absolutely loved your breakdown and how you presented it. Such a neat presentation, thank you!
Very nice explanation of chord inversions with great examples. Please explain that quick 7-chord progression you play in the very beginning of the video. It does indeed sound so sophisticated!
Thanks for asking, Eric! That's a great idea for a video of it's own. I'll make that lesson soon explaining exactly that progression from the intro of this video. Stay tuned :) -Jared **
A great example of the neighboring fourth chord is Kathy’s Song by Simon and Garfunkel. It shows up in a few of their songs- Paul Simon really liked that sound..
That last A/D is the main riff to Elvis Preslys song called , In The Getto among many, many more songs. I'm pretty sure Mac Davis wrote the song Elvis made a hit ,his last hit in fact,
Great lesson - I'm getting so much out of your site. Your delivery is so personal. It's like having a collection of personal zoom lessons. One of my all time favourite tunes which I would love to be able to play on guitar is Mozart's Clarinet Concerto II Adagio, as arranged by William Haviland for piano. He employs the exact technique your are describing in your video - a descending voice. I love the simplicity of his arrangement. As per earlier comments - My goal is *not* to find lead sheets, but rather hear a tune and apply my own chord harmony. I have a long way to go.
I love that goal! Great to hear. And I'm so glad you're enjoying the lessons. I love that they feel like private video lessons. That's my goal with them so I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the comment! ~~ Jared
This is so good man...INVERSION MASTER! New channel name ideas...just kidding. Also..Unicycle video please...that Carcassi piece was the first i ever learned...so many memories
I noticed that there’s no mention of the order of the notes on the top and to my ear it sounds different whether the fifth or the third in an inverted triad is on the very top. There’s always a mention of the bass note obviously. Must be some really deep theory
When I said 5-1-3? Those are the chord tones of the D chord shape from the lowest fretted note (fret 2, string 3) to the highest fretted note (fret 2, string 1).
Finaly my questions answered: why does the guitar have so many frets? And the next question.... Why am I not using them? But, in order to fully understand this answer, many hours pf practice and study await.😮🤔
