Finally a chord lesson that makes sense to a beginner!! Thank you for explaining this topic in simple terms and defining the terms that you are using as you went along. I think that often music teachers forget that their students weren't born with an innate knowledge of musical terms and expressions. Please keep up the good work, I will be following...
Rare sax teaching lesson which I watched from beginning to the very end, having many-many times replaying. Extremely interesting and informative. Thank you Matthew. For question "Why?" (29:53)- I LOVE the answer - "Because it sounds Great!" ))))
Hi Merlin, You're welcome :) Some of it works with the other chords, but don't worry I shall explain all in the coming videos in the series, so keep a look out for the next one..
Hey Mathew, thanks for this lesson but I have one question. You explain the 3rd to the 1st degree as a minor 6th chord but I thought a minor 6th has just the 3rd flat and not the 6th as well. Is that not correct?
Hi Dennis, Thanks for the feedback and for the question. When I describe the 3rd up to the 1st as a minor 6th interval, that is just a melodic interval - i.e. when those two notes are played one after the other. For example in C major: E up to the C above. It isn't a chord because the notes are being played one after another rather than at the same time. Does that make sense? Best wishes, Matthew

Ah thankyou Sablezub Shruz! I appreciate the feedback and am very happy that you found the lesson useful :)
Sounds like the trumpet call as the American flag is raised that first chord you played.
Many thanks 😁👍
Does that work with Chords 4 & 5 ?
(& perhaps 2&6)

Much appreciated 👍
Excellent video lesson Matt.
No such thing as a wrong note……just maybe a poor choice :-)
Thanks Dean
