Is this The BEST KEPT SECRET of the Guitar Pros? So SIMPLE! 

You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful to you!

Great "aha" moments are so cool. I had been strumming and singing for years learning by ear or from song books. Then a player told me about the simple 1-4-5 chord progression. I went home, played every song I knew and most all fit that formula. Cheers!

Wow, thanks Dan! Right back at you with the appreciation brother.

And a total hipster!

@@GaryBook LOL! Maybe a hippie-ster.

Sure thing brother. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad!

Awesome stuff!

Exactly 👍👍

Glad you enjoyed it Kris! I'll probably be live tomorrow for a few. Maybe I'll see you there.

Glad it was helpful to you!

You too!

Yes, it's excellent. They make a humbucker version and this P90 version. I'm digging this one!

It appears to be correct, as it's a D on the diagram. (i.e., 7th fret on the G string)

@@MarkZabel no. Go to 1 min 52 secs and the scale charts for all the different modes. The middle note on the g string of mixolydian is a fret too high. The 8th fret, should be on 7th. Just a typo. Good video no hassle.

@@Bluepillphil-d1w Ah, LOL! I thought you were talking about my "dots" diagrams. I snagged that photo off the internet, as it wasn't really all that relevant to the content of the video. Ha! I guess you never can trust the dang interweb! Thanks for pointing it out!

Johnny Who?

Thanks Wayne. Did he really make an album with Johnny Depp??

@@MarkZabel yes its called 18 its the best jeff beck guitar playing I think

Thanks!

I’ll go on: I found that I’m addicted to this major 3rd addition. One note completely changes the character of what you’re playing. It adds so much hummable melody. I keep thinking of Jeff Beck, but also it opens up Trey Anastasio type jamming and weirdly, I keep hearing the musical themes in the Sideways soundtrack. It’s “sweet” sounding but slightly melancholy. I almost can’t play anything without finding it now in any key. I also really like that 6th video too. At the end of the day we’re just trying to hear bluesy melodies and transpose them, and I’m always hearing those notes in my head. Great tools!

You bet! "Dominant" is because that's the type of the chord it fits perfectly - here A7. Chords that are made of a major triad with a minor 7th are dominant chords. (For A7 we have A, C#, E, G ... 1, 3, 5, b7 of A - therefore a dominant chord.) There's more theory-speak to it than this, but the idea of keeping the major 3rd in there with the minor 7th (b7) to give it edginess is a very "dominant" idea. One last thing that I find interesting and you may too. When you toggle the 3rd by 1 fret to the minor pentatonic you can do it two ways - to the b3 or to the 4th. When you go to the b3 you'll get a "tough" sound over an A7 chord. It's kind of harsh and if you lean on that note it'll get annoying over time. Kind of like a bee buzzing around your head. If you go to the 4th (up 1 fret) you'll get an "airy" or "spacey" feel over the A7. Kind of like you just woke up or you're having a dream or you've had an adult drink (but just one!). Going to the 4th is a very David Gilmour sort of move.

@@MarkZabel really cool. Will try this

Just to confirm: the flat 3 over an A7 chord is C, and the 4th is D?

Glad you enjoyed it

Yep.

@@MarkZabel ❤

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Oh, they're sore and stiff - as usual. LOL!

Interesting.

Thanks! Another one of those relatively unknown (in the US) players. Dude could play! (still can I'll bet)

@@MarkZabel All his stuff is good, my favourite is the "Green" album.

Okay, thanks.

Take your pick for the name. 4:24

Maybe soon!

Maybe not. You've mentally flipped it for years. The view matches the guitar you're watching on screen, so lines up with what I'm playing. You can flip the RU-vid video.

Yeah man! Go for it!

You don't have to believe it. You don't understand yet.

Start on the "A". It's the root in both positions. (5 fret. Low e string.) Learn modes.

@@phil.c. I think you fail to understand what I said.

@abrogard142 That's not what is going on in this video. The intervals definitely change when you move the minor 3rd, but not any of the other notes. Perhaps you're just making a general statement ... again this video has nothing to do with what you're making a point on.

Every minor scale pattern is also a major scale pattern in the relative key. For example, A minor and C major use identical patterns. E major and C# minor...identical patterns. The roots are just shifted by a minor third as you go from one to the other.

He’s given you the blueprint to play melodies.

@@frannyp46 I've played melodies LOOOONG before this video.

It's not mixolydian. Were you watching a different video?

Not even close to true. Watch again and note actual times. Or, instead of understanding the context for learning, watch someone muddle through a 12 minute video or rambling instruction if that's your bag. No one forced you to watch.
