Here is a way to think about the term, "suspension" - everything in Western music centers around tension and resolution. Avoiding use of the major/minor 3rd suspends resolution - we are left hanging, waiting for the resolution to a comfortable sounding 3rd. Until we hear the inclusion of a major or minor third in a chord, we experience a musical tension, or "suspension".

I played the guitar, when I was a teenager into my 20s. I hit a wall using tabs, and gave up on it for a long time. I'm in my mid 30s now, and picked it back up, and hit the same wall. I got on RU-vid searching for the answer. Then I found your channel, and using what I've learned from your teachings I was able to break through that wall. I am so grateful for the knowledge that you have passed on to me. I am once again in love with music, and have the enthusiasm for it that I had as a teen. I am wonderfully lost in the rabbit hole that is music. I can't wait to get your book, and ear training program. I whole heartily thank you for what you do, and have nothing but respect for you.

I am glad you got back into music. It's a gift that keeps on giving. My only regret? That youtube wasn't around when I learned in the 70s. There are things that I learned back then but took me weeks to figure out that today I'd find 10 videos to help along.

This is exactly everything I needed and I cannot thank you enough for pouring the time into creating it. Will update with progress, but this is 1000000x better than most of the stuff I can find

@HabAnagarek 3 года назад

How has it been for you, going to guitar? I learned and played piano and trumpet all through my childhood and understand theory. I've fiddled around on bass for years, so know the fretboard a bit. But, I'm at a block right now with guitar. The keyboard is just instinctive for me.

@raymondchou9550 3 года назад

@@HabAnagarek It's been pretty good, I'm still learning a couple really basic songs and my fundamentals Still working on getting all of the shapes hard-wired into my memory, but thinking intervallically REALLY helps on the guitar You learn one shape and you can transpose it up and down, so about 1/12th practice on piano! But I like Rick's "constructive" approach, esp if you watch his video on what to practice

@HabAnagarek 3 года назад

@@raymondchou9550 I'm working on that. With bass, I began to see intervals on the fretboard, octaves, fifths, thirds, flat seven. With chords on the guitar I'm struggling to find a way to envision them.

@raymondchou9550 3 года назад

@@HabAnagarek Not sure how good of advice this is since I'm relatively still a beginner, but approach it in two ways: through intervals, and by modifying well known shapes. So for example, take a drop 3 root voicing, that's like an E-shape but you only play the E, D,G,B strings. Okay, well if you just play all open strings that's an Em7 (1-b7-b3-5). if you play fret 1 on the D, G strings you get EM7 (1-7-3-5). Now you can just transpose this shape up and down the fretboard and bam To get other chords, you can just shift some of the notes up and down slightly haha So actually it's 1/12th of the practice of piano and all of the chords look the same so I like it more this way

I never comment on a video before I finish watching it, but I'll make an exception. Rick, this is wonderful. I've learned more in the first 6 minutes than I had in a face-to-face course I took some years ago. I've been listening to music since I saw the Beatles on TV in 1964 and now have over 6,200 CDs (many classical), but I've always struggled to understand music theory as I don't play an instrument. It's even prevented me from enjoying some books on musicians/composers because as soon as they get into the theory, they lose me. Some years ago I even paid a music teacher for one-on-one lessons, but that was a disaster as the lady was used to teaching children, not adults, and yelling at her pupils was part of her style! I look forward to seeing the rest of the video and others. Thanks, Rick.

@isaaccardin2535 3 года назад

Wow, this was the first time I've watched one of these and actually knew everything he covered. You just gotta watch these a bunch of times and bit and pieces will start to stick. It also helps to have a piano in front of you. Trying to figure this all out on guitar is a little more challenging.

They just joke around all the time and do bad things like vaping and drugs and partying, not really thinking about their future. I would just think of the bigger picture and learn to be more mature and not fall into the wrong crowd. Anyways, yes I really love music and want to pursue it because it is such a big part of my life since I sing, play saxophone and piano, and I like all types of music, especially classical, because it’s so beautiful and brings out the emotion in you. People don’t realize how important music is to everyone, it is one of the only things that releases dopamine in your brain because it helps our brain and body. We need music. All this is why I am learning music theory here and at school next year. Places like this are great because you can find those people. And you will eventually find those people.

@smacker360 3 года назад

Musicians from the past were incredibly talented and played augmented, diminished and unknown chords because they didn't have venues like RU-vid for guidance, they simply played the sound they heard in their head. In-depth knowledge of theory isn't a must to write and play incredible music as evidenced through history. That being said, your lessons are invaluable and helps to improve my understanding of why what I play works, thanks.

@daveberkheimer2166 3 года назад

I think that you should learn what you need to learn to do what you want to do. And you're right, a lot of the great musicians of the past had limited theory knowledge, not to say they didn't know how to play. In fact, when I lived in Nashville I got to know a Grammy award winning session guitarist who had very little theory knowledge. What he did have was the ability to play like a mo-fo, a very good ear, and instinct out the ying yang.... all of which can't be taught. For a few months we would get together and swap lessons; he taught me Chet Atkins/Travis style finger picking and I would run through sight reading and lines with him. After one session he said, "you know, I always wondered why what I played sounded good". Now all that being said, I'm personally a firm believer that the more, the better. The more musical tools you have in your tool belt, the better off you are. But that's just me...... and that's also because I have not yet learned all I need to learn to do what I want to do. :-)

@@anidemolimacnauj It's significantly easier to have somebody break down what needs to be done in digestible chunks than to spend hundreds of hours figuring it out yourself. Instead of wasting time, we can do what actually matters. I can play instead of read, or write instead of get confused.

Learning stuff makes you more creative, actually - it's like learning a foreign language (strange concept for Americans, I know). All language, like music, have rules. At first, you actively try to adhere to the rules as you speak which does slow you down. But with practice, you start to apply the rules automatically, and you will be able to explore the intricacies of that language.

@Johnnysmithy24 2 года назад

I love how y’all need to ridicule Americans in every chance you get for no reason whatsoever and then call them the ignorant ones. Even while watching a video from an American, but hey let’s just cheaply claim how smart we are by insulting a group of people based on stereotypes, completely out of nowhere adding nothing to the topic of conversation. Not narcissistic or ignorant at all, and no one should care either since it’s acceptable behavior somehow…

The basics are the most important when learning anything it makes it easier in the end. I know theory in my head without 1 lesson so I guess you could say I'm self-taught, but just like how I can't read sheet music for the piano I probably couldn't tell you what a super specific term in theory means. I would just show you and it would be probably be right. I learn most everything everything by ear! At a young age I couldn't really explain it so it must just be something I was born with I guess!

Thank you Sir ❤️ gave me a solid guideline to build my music theory knowledge on. You clubbed so many concepts I had to find out in seperate numerous RU-vid videos plus your added knowledge of artists that use each of these concepts is priceless. Thank you 👍🏽

@lerirol Год назад

There's nothing basic about this! Rickieeee, plate your lessons properly! Basic is explaining what A B C's are. Not the difference between Lidean and Aolian..Not the difference between Major and Minor and all of the interconnections in-between! Please be simple!

@mllovelle3665 5 месяцев назад

@sanfordsanford295 4 месяца назад

Major and Minor are completely basic forms. Lydian aolian etc are just variations of the basic diatonic pattern. Get with the program

I bought both the Beato Book and the Ear Training Course, Rick! I remember first learning guitar some years ago, I spent the summer before my Junior year of high school practicing all my chord shapes and progressed so much in that short time. Then after a couple years of playing with my church band, my love for music began to fade and I stopped learning. I can’t wait to get back in the game with all the Theory I skipped over back in the day!
