In this series we're exploring how you can make chords on the guitar yourselves. From a complete beginner to a player who can freely make, alter, break down and analyze chords. I'll take you through the steps you need to learn to master these techniques and make them your own. This will greatly benefit your playing and overall knowledge of the instrument and music theory in general.

At 7:40 you said parallel minor when I think you meant RELATIVE minor
The parallel minor to E major is e minor
The relative minor to E major is C# minor
Ah, yes of course! *Edit: Yes it's a translation thing... In Dutch it's called 'parallelle toonaarden' which translates to 'parallel keys' hence the wrongfully used terms!
It is called parallel minor in many european languages. Or so I assume cause it is called "parallel mol" in danish which is a european language. Logic.
@@PaulDavids in German it is called "Moll paralele" meaning "parallel minor" also.
Yes, yes, in Spanish it’s “Quiero comer tu culo” which directly translates to “parallel minor” as well.
Cristian Gutierrez it’s not fun but I laughed.
You know you're getting old when music theory becomes fun
True
damn..
Oof I'm just 18
Nah
Nah man, the teacher makes it fun for you.
You're a good teacher. Easy to follow without being too slow or unfocused. Well done.
don't play chords together, play them separately.
@@commentfreely5443 🤣
I had 9 years of music theory in school and didn't understand anything. But you made it in 7 short videos and music finally makes sense to me!
Paul. At the risk of stating the obvious. You are brilliant. Great teacher. Great musician. Great communicator. Hilarious dry humour, sound theory, logical instruction. Thank you for sharing. In 11 minutes on your channel I've finally managed to understand something that's had me baffled for best part of 46 years. Just to reiterate. You are brilliant. Thank you.
I can't thank you enough for teaching us all this in such a lucid manner. I used to dread music theory, and now it brings the biggest smile on my face when I can figure things out on my own after going through your lessons! :D
So...
Why can't all lessons on utube, be this simplistic ??
Bravo my Man...
Bravo!!
uh I IV V, maybe a VI
nice..
hello rudy
0 III V, 0 III VI V
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift?
Lol
I've heard there was a secret chord...
Nice one. 😇
exactly!
secret chord is Maj7 b5
Paul, Man you always deliver and touch all the minute little details. Thank You for making these type of videos and keep it coming. :)
Hey Paul, Congrats in advance on 800K!!! Thanks for what you do. you have re-lit the spark to play for me. I have been stuck in the rut for a while not learning anything new, going months without playing. You changed that. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
That little mnemonic got me through uni and now my whole job is based around it! Very useful.
Probably the best place for guitarists who don't want to or can't learn in music schools. Always delivering up to the class! Love your videos man
I needed this when i was 9 years old, but there was no youtube in 1995.
AT LAST!!!!
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this.
Thanks a lot Paul.
Cheers!!
same
Me too🙏 I am so grateful
Knew this already but watched all the way through just because you explained it so well.
And... a bit of revision is always a good thing. So many thanks.
Just wish I'd had access to such a great explanation about 10 years ago when I was kicking my own ass for endless weeks trying to understand it. You're a very talented teacher. You skillfully managed to apply the 'dry' theory to the practical use on the instrument.
Wow, that mnemonic is amazing. I think with a little tweaking, I can use that to remember all sorts of things.
😂
As a musician of 20 years it really is wonderfull to see someone teaching on you tube in a way ANYONE can follow that is so rare subscribed
me after playing guitare for more than 10 years (as an amateur) : "oh that's why, now I get it". great teaching sir.
8:10 "Save tonight and fight the break of dawn, come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone"
Paul, this has been an EXCELLENT series!
First four episodes were largely refreshers for me, the last three have given me more and more insights, thank you
Fabulous
Hey man, I’m loving your music theory series. Been playing by ear since I was a kid and it never made sense but I’ve been going through the series watching each video several times till it clicks and then making charts for myself. Appreciate you taking the time. You’re a great teacher. Cheers!
Thank you so much for all of this. I'm starting playing guitar again after years of just taking out 1 hour per year to repeat the same 3,4 songs I've learned to play. And having done almost 10 years of music theory and 8 of piano younger has always make me feel like a fraud. Because I was. I was pretending playing the guitar (and the piano). All I was doing was mimics and repeating. Not a bad thing per se, but not what I really inteded to do.
Last months I've been studying everything again, thanks to the amazing content here on UA-cam. Besides the simple fact that I could listen to your smooth voice for hours :D, I'm starting to understand what the guitar neck, the piano and music has always been about. Thank you. A lot.
The secret of the complete RHCP's discography :D
haha yep, for sure. although they have also often used chromatic mediant chords and modulations (first two examples that come to mind are soul to squeeze and under the bridge).
Yeah I was thinking under the bridge the entire time
Pierre Hassenboehler haha heard so many of their songs during this video
This is amazingly simplified and probably THE best explanation of basic chord structures I've seen. So well done, Paul! Seriously man. I've been playing for 20+years and, although I knew most of this, I even learned a couple things!
Thankyou for this series! I've played for 20 yrs on and off and I've always stopped because I hit the learning wall. I decided I need to learn music theory, this has been a wonderful start and has me excited to learn more.
Wow. This makes jamming so much easier. Start with finding the note on 5th or 6th string. And try out the most popular chord progression without even caring for the names of the chords or scale or any of those difficult stuff.
Thank you for this. ❤️
8:10 I know I'm not the only one hearing "Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry!
Exactly the same! Even the strumming part
de musica ligera - Gustavo Cerati
I can't believe how brief these videos are and yet they cover so much. Thank you Paul Davids. Your channel is a blessing.
Watched every video in the series and learned a ton. Thanks for taking the time to put this series together, I hope to see more!
My favourite teacher of music, I can't understand so good but your voice is so incredible and comfortably regard from chile
Wena ctm
jajaja aca otro mássss
Weeeeeeenaaaa
connor has lost a lot of weight since that fight.
Khabib took his soul.
Also he seems so much nicer than the media makes him out to be.
Lol
This is eleven minutes of musical super wisdom for those of us searching for such wisdom. Concise and information packed. I love it! I was practicing my scales yesterday and I realized that I was more interested in the 7 chords of the key since I am an acoustic singer songwriter. Exactly what I needed. Great stuff Paul!
Dude, you are unbelievable awesome. You brought my fingers back to my guitar after 20 years of absence! Great teaching skills. Now I understand all that stuff. Thanks to you! Cheers from Germany.
When you talk I picture myself chained to a chair in an abandoned warehouse down on the docks, you have me suspended over a trap door dangling from a winche over the water and you are doing the whole Hollywood calm talk thing before you hit the switch which releases the winche I am dangling from and as I plummet toward the merky depths of the cold water we make eye contact and we have that moment just before it all fades to black......yeah that’s what it remindeds me of when you explain anything..
Hahaha, we should make a movie together. Love it.
Lol..!!😂😂
That 2:26 sass
Paul, I have been following you for a while, I must thank you because thanks to you I have grabbed my guitar again and started learning music theory which I never had, somehow every video you upload just motivates me to keep learning new stuff and practice to get better at guitar, again thanks for your awesome channel and keep up the great work you do!
Paul, love your lessons. Always humorous and lovely video edits, concise and well thought out content. And very helpful to boot! Thank you!
OMG the "Mnemonic for Roman Numerals" was the best rickroll/troll I've ever experienced, I'm in tears! Bravo, sir!
Don't get it ? What do you mean.
0:48 IT'S ACTUALLY SUPER EASY, BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE
Thank you. I've been playing more years than I care to admit, and this is the best explanation of basic chord/music theory I've come across. Good on ya, mate!
Double thumbs up!
I've explained this to people many many times, but this was wonderful, visual, and easy to understand. Great video, Paul!
"if you're playing with just piano, it's really striking to hear..." nice pun
Wow Paul, congratulations on such a succinct & clear theory video, even more amazing in a language which isn't even your native tongue.
.... fantastic work, many thanks.😎😎👍👌Subscribed.
Dude you have unlocked everything. Im taking guitar lessons and your videos are just better. I see the fretboard so differently after your music theory series! You're are one of the best out there I can't thank you enough!
I learn so stinking much from your videos!!! Thank you! Your guitar course is one of my most anticipated things coming soon.
1-6-4-5 dont even have to watch. still going to watch it obviously
You was wrong!! But close.
He's right. Variations of what he said are in almost every song and throw in some others for a refrain or something and you've got 90% of the songs written in the last 30 years in the U.S.
@@jarodmorris611 I was nitpicking for fun. He just got the order slightly different from Paul's video.
mark, the I-vi-IV-V is the most common version actually.
@@rohadtanyad8908 yeah I believe that..
Thank you so much for making these awesome and easily understood videos ,I knew a little bit about music theory before watching these but you’ve truly given me a lot of clarity and I’m appreciative of that 🙂
I'm enjoying your videos a lot - especially as you've decided to dedicate so much time to making them. I've been experimenting with writing chord progressions over the last year or so, writing my own songs. Your advice and knowledge has been encouraging :-)
Thanks
Tony
I am just picking up a guitar, I dont know much. I hope eventually this will make sense to me. I will stick with it.
Everyone was a beginner at one time. All the best with it. It is time well spent.
Paul McCartney wrote many innovative melodies without using the I V vi IV chord progression. Then he got lazy and wrote LET IT BE using the I V vi IV chord progression, to which the masses thought he was a genius.
McCartney was a genius, but "Let It Be" is one of his worst. So turgid.
Right,,, genius is not always look complicated,, simple but iconic,, that is genius
@@firmandapermana9387
Exactly.
Genius isn't just thinking outside the box. To be genius, the result needs to be unique, functional and beautiful. Creating the same within the box is true genius to be envied. Where, everyone jealously expresses, "why didn't I think of that?"
@@tmcche7881 yapp,, that question is real.. "why didn't I...?" And I answer "because you r not genius enough"
@@firmandapermana9387 indeed.
...and I am tired of the put down of "the masses," meaning humanity. As if these uncreative condescending aholes are not part of the great unwashed masses. I IV V vi is naturally beautiful, according to evolutionary psychologists.
Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet this very early morning, making me a little cranky.
Hey Paul! Thanks for this video. It helps me a lot memorizing chord progressions in songs! You‘re doing an awesome job here on UA-cam!!
Mate, you are amazing! I need to increase my theory and your channel is just perfect to do it. Your videos are simple to follow, I'm so grateful. Thanks a lot.
why i showed up: learn some music theory
why i stayed: sassy "how to google" jokes
8:09
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come to tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Lol
Same 4 chords iggy pop passenger
Noticed that right away as well
I've been playing guitar for about 15 years and it always helps me to hear someone explain the major scale and diatonic tones as a refresher. Because when you don't stay on top of music theory, you forget it!!
ive been following this series of videos for a like a year now, maybe it was the lack of practice but ive revisited the first four episodes many times and this is the farthest ive come. and im really happy man, thx for all the knowledge.
8:21 why I like Paul's videos. (just kidding, you're pretty solid all round)
When you started playing in A I was singing Safe Tonight by Eagle-Eyed Cherry :D
Telmy Pin me too
Great song, though.
Me too
Paul, this music theory series has be so helpful and informative, thank you for making it! I think it would be really helpful if you could make an additional video about how the scales, keys, and chord progressions lead into guitar solos and how they work together. Cheers!
This music theory series has really been helping me finally understand theory. Thank you for the help! Please the episodes coming🎸
@8:22...wipes finger prints off guitar.
@8:23...puts fingers back on exact same spot. lol. 😂
Your videos are really creative, well thought out, and make me lol with that subtle humor.
I'm subbed, and I predict you will eventually grow to 10M subs.
I feel like if I watch enough videos on theory, it will all just all of a sudden make sense. Like people hearing a foreign language in a movie. Lol
Mark Byrd ....yeah, thats what ive been doing for the past several years, and its working, no shit, lol!
Terrific video. Makes it super easy for newbies to understand chord progressions. Thanks for posting this.
This is one of the easiest and most basic ways of teaching. With examples of all kinds of learning. Sight, sound and hands on. Thank you for making this video.
"Where's that music theory Labowsky!!! I can't wait for ep. 8.
Not on the rug, maan
"Remember this super easy mnemonic..." I almost died laughing so hard! That was the best 2:23
Pauly D you're such a goddamned teaching genius. I've been playing these for years but never understood why it sounded good (or didn't). Fully explained in 10 mins 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I could've used you when I was a beginner! you're doing awesome paul! keep it up man. I've been playing guitar for almost 8 years now, and I still learn new things from you.
I used to call it the "What's My Age Again riff" before I knew about all this.:)
when i come around
7:30 SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE A PARTNER
His tone is Frusciante fresh!
Keep it coming Paul, this is my favourite series. You are a very good teacher.
Thanks Paul, this is one of the best theory lessons I have has as a beginner. Using the key of C really highlighted why certain diatonic chords shift to minor and diminished, something I had heard but not seen so clearly. Now I’m going to have to write them all out!
8:22 "I'm too sexy for my shirt".
*without watching video* 1 4 5 6 chords amirite? AMIRITE???
Really appreciate the videos! I’m normally a piano player and a beginner guitar player but i was having a hard time translating the music theory from piano and applying to guitar. These videos have been very informative!
Dude! Amazing videos. Great job.
The most overused chord progression is 6, 4 , 1 , 5
I thought that the four magical cords are G D Em C😂😂coz that's how I play ever song I know 😂😂😂
Love your vids Paul - keep them coming!!
Mind blowing video.
Lots of time I came across with this theory but I never completely understood.
But this time my concept became clear.
Thumbs up.
You're awesome!
Im early in class
people commenting love this while it is upload 1 min ago and the vid is 11 min??
😂😂😂😂
Patreon members get early access.
but why would they comment here?
Feruza because they probably get earlier access to the same url
They don't need to watch it to love it. That's the amazing thing about recognizing someone and their values.
Paul is the best in explaining and showing the practical use of the theory. Thank you very, very much.
I will have to go back to this video once I'm better but I've been watching your vids so far and I love everything. Whether it's the subtle jokes, overall amazing explanation, good lighting or the luscious beard. Also I love the tele and strat colors. I wouldn't have taken them at first pick but now they are really growing on me.
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO! DEFINITELY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR ALL THIS TIME!
Incredible video man. Great for someone who has a basic understanding of scales and looking for more detail on how to pair chords with scales.
You lovely man, y'teach me something new every time!
Also can I say, I'm really enjoying how you teach. Thank you
Love your lessons.
After 30+ years of music theory ignorance
I basically gave up on guitar... that is... until I watched your 1st theory lesson. Great explanations , engaging and humorous.
Sincere thanks for your efforts... i think i will eventually succeed because of your encouragement... definitely helps to visualize understanding the relationship between notes and chords and music.
You're a great teacher.
Great stuff! I like the way you approach each and every lesson!
Big Thanks Paul! This is the first video I have seen that connects chord progressions with CAGED chord shapes up the fretboard. Another revelation from you👍
I appreciate how you jump straight into it.
Clearest most concise explanation I ever heard. Excellent.
Silent Pact .....i know, i love this guy! No homo
Thanks David I have had a wonderful day watching your seven theory sessions. You really have excelled yourself in breaking the essentials into something I can follow and understand. Your past rich experience as a teacher has really paid off as demonstrated ìn your solid patient delivery. I guess I could have been more succinct; as in AWESOME!!
Bravo @paul davids. Knew how to combine them but your trick formula makes so much sense.
You should REALLY continue this serie! I enjoyed it a lot.
Probably the best theory video I’ve seen, thank you so much
Paul, please continue the series, it was awesome! Some videos on modes would be amazing! Thank you for the theory course (and the other great content on your channel)!
You’re an amazing teacher! Very clear and concise. Thank you so much! Please keep doing more lessons!
Congrats on 2 Mill!!
Such an awesome teacher!
This cool series on music theory now leaves you unsettled.. the real fun begins when you break out of diatonic progression.. but how to break out!
