The Dorian 1 minor 4 major cadence as a musical underpinning of the Dorian Flavour, 1major 2 major Lydian flavour,and here you add one more beautiful peaceful flavour. Many Indian songs use this movement either in the verse or change the direction in the chorus to remain in minor key for a while and then merge back to the major key. Enjoyed thoroughly. The above 2 lessons along with chord harvesting is my best pickings from your lot. I am sure I might have missed many many many gems though. Will go through more of your lessons. God bless you. Your lessons are premium stuff with no personal grandiose. Concentrated enough that everyone irrespective of their level learns something. And repetitive enough such that even a beginner gets the point easily.
this was a total mindblower video for me. I still have a lot to process but once I do some drills and practice this theory I think i will be looking at the guitar very differently. Thanks!
Back to basics! Thanks for your time, always worth watching. Of course from minor you go up to the 3rd note for major, if that's not obvious to everyone. Reverse of what's shown in video. And from a minor, lower the root to get the major. Like Am ACE to C CEG by lowering A to G. Reverse of what's shown in video.
I feel truly amazed by the simplicity tha Chris brings to so many complex exemples!!! You are one of the best guitar teacher I've ever heard of! Thanks for this wonderful work you do here!
I am now here, out of my rabbit hole for a time to gather a little more knowledge/information before going back in. I came to a big scary omg moment where I knew what It was that I needed to get seriously working on, it's almost too intimidating to even try to describe but at leat I have an idea. But I also had a couple specific notes/questions to dig around for while I was out shopping for information, this relative minor thing was one of those. didn't even mess around, just typed "relative minor Chris Sherland", search done. Thank you as always.
and I SWEAR on everyone that I love that I was going to comment at the end of the video that "Now I know why LC's Hallelujah sounds the way it does, why it sounds so right to my ear".
@@curiousguitarist Right now I am on a quest, and that quest is to figure out how I can really understand intervals, not just the intervals themselves but the function they serve--and--how I can use *that* as the way I visualize the fretboard moving forward.( I know that you have at least one video here that speaks to that and likely more.) I dunno, it's a lot ... but more things are opening up just from getting near the periphery of that concept so....I'm not even sure I'm explaining correctly...but thank you, as always.
Helpful and interesting! So many of your lessons have fallen in line with exactly what I've been studying, including this relative major/minors lesson! Really like when an actual musical example is used in the lesson as well! So many times I'll go over something in a book or video, but have zero context where it can apply in day to day music! Awesome stuff!
Good thanks for the content. I map in the chords and the scale Which it belongs to. Learn the position of a chord and map the scale around it. Don't use the G shape, but the E to play X9(11) types, also Xsus4 9. Also learn the diatonic scale and their triads per string and in adjacent strings. You say it, it's about the progression, the chords and the scale relationship. Because of melody I pay attention to the shapes and what notes are in the soprano trying to map it in the E or B strings. In terms of extensions I prefer the keyboard but the limitation of the guitar makes in fun too. Wes Montgomery does the octave too play melody and inversión really took the guitar far Wes!
When I think of that banjo playing kid in Deliverance had to understand all of this stuff, I feel like I have to sell all my possessions and move to the hills.
Betterifitsfree, there are a few things at play as you progress as a musician, your ears, your brain, your hands, your eyes. Depending on how you learn some of these are an easier way in. I like to assume that kid in Deliverance was a big "ear" type...learned all that stuff from "grampa" and was never told what it was...but developed that ear over time as it was his primary tool. For the rest of us folks who learn differently we've got to combine the other elements and find the right tool to use to crack the code so-to-speak. Thanks for the views and comment!
Hello good sir: I’m just coming across your teachings and must say they are clear and refreshing. As a 40s year old player who has been fudging my way through guitar playing my whole life, I always thought to just use Pentatonic box one and the index finger was the minor and the pinkie was the major. Is it that simple? Even if I’m right, I’ll be over to your patron page as I want to know more theory. Not wing it anymore. Thanks again for all the effort you put into these.
Thank you Matthew! That's great to hear coming from a youngster like yourself :D Index pinky is a great way to visualize the relationship, but there's definitely more context that allows for greater usefulness and applications.
I know it is a different subject but it would be interesting to find a lesson on key changes from Minor to major . Like from Am to A. What comes to my head is While my guitar gently wheeps….
About a girl from nirvana starts with G/Em, so it's just alternating between a major chord and its relative minor ? It's funny it's the first song I learned and I never knew !
I always just play the minor scale by moving the major scale down three frets and memorizing where the target notes differ, is that wrong? I think this is the same idea?
@@curiousguitarist thanks! I should probably have been clearer and said if I wanna play A minor I just keep visualizing the C major scale but moved 3 frets down. So I get the same ‘patterns’ but the target notes are in a different place. It really helps me simplify the fretboard.
