Its awesome how you break down complicated sounding stuff like "voice leading" into small comprehensive parts! Even as quite intermediate musician there is always something to take away! Best greetings from germany! Keep up the good stuff! :)
This is my favorite video for guitar at the moment. RU-vid is filled with lick video. We miss some chill, basic, chord movement video content. Thank you.
Like Andreas said, thanks for this content. I’m a rock player but I learn a whole new approach to guitar subscribing to this channel. I always look forward to your videos. Truly enjoyed this one!
Thanks for another great video, Rotem. You always inspire me to think about music and my playing in new creative ways. Much appreciated! That duo sonic sounds great, too!
Could you do a theory video on what chords you can play outside of the obvious, like on the topic of borrowed chords or something. I just feel stuck with the classic 7 chords for 1 key, I know the theory on making tones of unique chords but just don't know when to play them.
Love this. Your tone is great, so many great colours. The one thing I am struggling with in my theory knowledge is substitutions in general. You can swap the G for an E7 for what reason? I would assume the function is created by the tension notes in reference to the C chord, C E G. So the G chord is giving strong tension with the leading note B and also the D. The E7 chord has those tensions plus an augmented 5th with the G#. How are you able to substitute the G with a note that has G# which is not in C major and make it sound so good. I'm unsure when I can apply subs like this. Is there a resource that might help me?
Hey ! Check out secondary dominant chords ! Here the E7 is not in the key of C, but is the 5th chord in the key of Am. It creates tension first then strongly resolves to Am, as it contains G#. Hope this helped a little !
Awesome Video! Whats the scale actually called? Like having the E in there - is it still c maj? Because we have that g sharp in there in the transition…? How can i basically transfer that Knowledge to other keys? Is that dorrian?
Trying a C augmented major 7 ( C#5#7) instead of a E but does not seem to work so well. It also has the G# to lead to the A. But it is like that the added C note to the E chord doesn’t lead so well to the Am. anybody an explanation why?
@@nicorentzsch9946 yes indeed if I play a G# and D together and resolve the G# to A it sounds as a resolution but if I do the same with a G# and C and change the G# to A …it does not sound resolved. Tnx
@@RotemSivanGuitar haha it's the lyrics to Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd that has that progression you started with. I realize most of your viewers must be jazz listeners so it may be an obscure reference in this context. On another note, great video though! I love the spontaneous kind of random feel of just sharing your thoughts. Thanks!
