I was so worried. A couple weeks ago, I finally figured out that sound I really loved was math/emo rock so I made a playlist with whatever I could find and subscribed to this channel. Last week, I was ready to watch those videos, but half the list was deleted or privatizes. I couldn't remember what or who it was, but there aren't many math rock videos on UA-cam, so I was sad to have missed out on really useful content 😔 Today, I was doing research again to find math rock tutorials, and saw the name of this one on Pinterest with "video unavailable" 😵😱😭 It was the only video I watched through last week and made notes from. Was sad when I realized it was taken down, but I looked up the title and was so thankful to see it was reuploaded!
Ah, I'm so sorry that I had to take this stuff down! I'm working hard to re-upload a lot of my content so definitely keep tabs on my channel as a lot of that stuff will be coming back either in roughly the same form, or some version that is slightly altered. Cheers and hopefully you can keep it up on the musical journey!
@@TrevorWongMusic Thanks so much 😄 I'm subscribed and following your instagram as well. Don't over work yourself either.

This video is amazing and I keep coming back to it. Now if I could just get someone to do something similar for modern progressive music like Plini, Intervals, etc...
You're awesome, a million thanks for this awesome lesson!!! I'll try to include this on my future music, surely it will help me in find new soundscapes :) I play mostly Prog Metal, but I love other styles, and I am trying to "broaden" my style. I'm specially interested in Post Rock and Math Rock. I love these styles. I have used chords very little, and this is certainly helpful!!! Thank you again, awesome work and brilliant channel!!!

There might be a different reason but I think he’s just a bit of a perfectionist. Inconsistencies in sound quality, a couple mistakes in the chord diagrams and really small things like that you don’t tend to notice, but judging by the way he speaks in the videos and his guitar playing, Trevor just comes off as someone who accepts the best from himself. I hope the FACGCE Chord lesson is reuploaded next, I just started making my own chord chart for the tuning and could do with a few extra voicings
That strap lock is CRYING for some lubrication! Really good video though; your voice and guitar tone are really pleasant and your knowledge is invaluable. I've come back to it a bunch. Thank you!
It was brutal. I feel like it really has set back the momentum of the channel, but I suppose there was some kind of learning process to be gained from it. Hopefully things can pick up again. Definitely appreciate you continuing to watch my content / keep up with what's been going on. Cheers Isaiah and thanks for all your support!
This video is great. So helpful. I noticed in your Asus2 section the voicing after the first 2 on the E string, you have a graphic for Gsus2 instead I believe. Only noticed because I’m taking notes on the whole video. Thanks and keep up the great work!
hey i was wondering since all these chords are just shown as shapes to be learnt and so i was curious if its because i am able to play these shapes wherever according to what note i want my maj7/maj9 etc chords to be in? i really need help this is one hurdle i just cant seem to get across
Minh Tân Trần yes, in the Diatonic scale the iii chord cannot be extended to a minor 9 or minor 11 chord, but you can have the notes of (i’ll use C major scale for example) an Em11 without the 9 (F#). If you had E, G, B, D and A, Then depending on the phrasing you could label that as a 6/9 chord with the bass note E (G6/9/E) or if the low E is the only instance of that note you could also call it Gadd9/E which may get the same sound but with less clutter. If you left out the fifth (B) however, the result would be E G D A - which if you have just one E at the bass would be Dsus4/E or otherwise A7sus4/E. These aren’t quite the same feel as Dm11 or Am11 has, but it’s as close as you can get (diatonically) to an Em11 or iii11 chord. Of course, you can alternatively use modal interchange to just play a full Em11 sound if you like, but you’ll bring in a tritone from the key centre (F#) and the chord will just all around sound… jazzy.
So if you know these chord shapes, is the idea that you can then move the root note while maintaining the shape to create new chords from that root note? Sorry if this is silly, I'm new to guitar.
I know this is gonna get buried by other comments but is there a way to remember these chords? I love this genre but can’t really start because I have a difficult time with the chords.
So I love these videos but you give no indication to what chord I’m playing at all? Like cool it’s a Major 6/9 chord but is it an: A, B, C, D, E, F, or G???????????
It's a whatever is the lowest bass string note you form with the chord shape. Barre chords are formula that are movable. Which is why he says you can use major 7 chords on the 1 chord or 4 chord. It just means the major 7 shape applies to the root chord and 4th chord of whatever major key you are currently playing in. Just gotta learn your fretboard.
Hi Trevor! some questions here: if you use the circle of fifths, would you play every major in your key as a major7 or major9 chord and for the minors a minor7 or minor9? or do you mix these all up? and what about the 7th chord that should be diminished? thanks!
How should I approach learning those? Should I practice individual changes etc or is this by default for advanced players who can just play chord after they see its shape? Thanks
I still dont understand how one translates a standard tuning emo chord to tunings like open a add 4. Even when I decipher them note by note the chord will just sound horseshit
Just really introspect towards what you're doing and what you're trying to achieve. Figure out what the weakest parts of your game are and try your best to find solutions to that. Be honest, careful, and analytical in your approach and that will do wonders in simply just teaching yourself. If it's a physical thing, seek out a private teacher (someone who plays in your city and can do what you want to do), to access your physical technique and point you in the right direction. If you can't manage that, play in front of a mirror and really try to iron out the kinks. Watch players that to look up to and try to embody / re-produce what they do. Hope that helps!
Probably wouldn't have written any of my music without the help of your videos
thank you
Wow, I'm really happy to have helped in that kind of way! Cheers and keep working ati t!

Trevor, you're a gift. Thank you so much for this video. You have a fan in Brazil.
One of the most helpful videos I've come across
Thanks!!!
this is the most useful video for playing this style i have ever come across. thank you so much for making this
Ah finally, I was really sad when I saw that it was taken down but now I can come back and rewatch it again to remember these chords! Thank you! :)

playing along with this video is like learning the rules of 4d chess
I was wondering why I couldn't find this when I search for it at least once a week
You and Steve from LTAMR are goated, thank you
Does anyone know what Trevor had to remove on all these videos?

God I love this channel

Such a good vid man

you are the actual best

Is that what’s squeaking when he wiggles the guitar? Lol
We Neeed chord PROGressions with those and ways to use them
Jesus this must really hurt to have to reupload so much stuff.

Really cool chords 💖
Thanks Trevor. Awesome resource. Much appreciated
Btw I think the Sus 4 D voicing picture is incorrect.
Hey Peter, glad you enjoyed it. Ah shoot, thanks for pointing that out!
love it when he says cool :) great videos. will check out more
appreciate your input
Cool!
Good stuff man! Thanks!
Thank you!
dude i love you

This is like the bible of explanation of math rock chords in theory and practical
love thee chords thank you so much
thank you for this video. it has re inspired my playing
pure GOLD
Man, thanks for all :))))))))
hey i was wondering since all these chords are just shown as shapes to be learnt and so i was curious if its because i am able to play these shapes wherever according to what note i want my maj7/maj9 etc chords to be in? i really need help this is one hurdle i just cant seem to get across
Yes you can, but depending on what key you are playing in you might need to change some notes
I really love this and keep coming back to it but i need an alternative to the chord at 3:35 bc my fingers cannot stretch that far even at 10th fret
Maybe try an open tuning. They’re super fun.
TwT I praise u, thank u so much
8:59 that means Mi11 chords can only be in the minor 2nd and minor 6th of the Diatonic major scale? Is there anywhere else that Mi11 can be used?
Minh Tân Trần yes, in the Diatonic scale the iii chord cannot be extended to a minor 9 or minor 11 chord, but you can have the notes of (i’ll use C major scale for example) an Em11 without the 9 (F#). If you had E, G, B, D and A, Then depending on the phrasing you could label that as a 6/9 chord with the bass note E (G6/9/E) or if the low E is the only instance of that note you could also call it Gadd9/E which may get the same sound but with less clutter.

So if you know these chord shapes, is the idea that you can then move the root note while maintaining the shape to create new chords from that root note? Sorry if this is silly, I'm new to guitar.
i am wondering the same thing
Tag yourself I'm sus2
Seriously, I played the shit out of that shape when I discovered it, and now I even know what it's called 😅
Thanks for the vid Trevor! Curious, do you play a MIM or MIA Tele?
No problem! Its a MIM
Trevor Wong nice!
On which scale degrees could you play 6/9 and Sus4 in any given diatonic scale?
Hey! Thanks for the vid but i have a question.. what chords is it playing?? I mean is it c d e f g a b?? Pls help me understand
Does one of the mi9 chords have a #9, the second one? So maybe that one would be a mi7#9?
Is that a player series tele?
What is the name of the 1st MA9 chord
I know this is gonna get buried by other comments but is there a way to remember these chords? I love this genre but can’t really start because I have a difficult time with the chords.
Git gud
Practice. Write them down and go in order or up the fret board with them. Eventually muscle memory will kick in.
On which degrees of the diatonic scale can you play sus chords?
my hands are too weak for the maj9 chords hahahaha
is this movable chords shape master?
So these are movable shapes?
Is this just standard tuning?
Standar bro
i love you bro
Thanks Rataplam!
what's the tuning?
Its very difficult to memorize this shapes 😭
Memorize one or two patterns you like for each chord type first. Then u can learn the other voicings when you’re looking to try something new.
I'm sorry im a bit slow are these all G chords??
they're moveable shapes across the fretboard.
Anyone know what tuning this is in?
Standard!
Trevor Wong Thank you Trevorrrer!!!!
I feel silly, but is this in standard (EADGBE) or in "D-A-E-A-C#-E" tuning?
no worries at all! Its in standard EADGBE
Are we in standard here?
yep
11:36 the fifth on the b string should be one fret higher, otherwise great video!
what's the tuning here?
Standard
So I love these videos but you give no indication to what chord I’m playing at all? Like cool it’s a Major 6/9 chord but is it an: A, B, C, D, E, F, or G???????????

Hey thanks for the chords man! on my way to manipulate some women
How should I approach learning those? Should I practice individual changes etc or is this by default for advanced players who can just play chord after they see its shape? Thanks
Good video still don’t understand anything tho I guess guitar isn’t for me pfftt
I still dont understand how one translates a standard tuning emo chord to tunings like open a add 4. Even when I decipher them note by note the chord will just sound horseshit
Shiet dude, you ain't wong about those chords
Should be named trevor right
Criticism me, please. My guitar is poor

Sorry to ask but what tuning? Lmao this must be a dUmb quEstion
You stop playing violin bro?
Ok t
