The bass is litterly the most important thing to listen to. If you have the bass soprano and the chord quality then you can figure out what the chord is.
That's how a video should be made, straight to the point, 5 minutes length. Tired of watching 15-20 minutes of length videos which could have been explained in just 4-5 minutes. Great work 👍
I'm a beginner and I need to repeatedly listen and watch your video to understand clearly what you mean. However, it seems to me that you were straight to the point.
Do this at home, but don't be annoying in a jam band session. Just looking at what chords someone is playing is faster, quiter and more useful in most cases.
Why doesn't this channel have a gazillion views and subscribers?!!!? The information on this channel is pure GOLD!!! People need to wake up!!!!!!!! YES, DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO FIND THE CHORDS OF A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great lesson, as always! Yes, please, would LOVE to see a video explaining your method for finding the chords -- and, if you're up for it, the melody -- of a song. You walk us through these things so clearly. Thank you!
Excellent video! About as clear as can be. Love the key icon. These types of videos are insanely useful for me. Please make more videos. You obviously have a great talent for making them.
10 months after you posted this video, I was looking for this subject matter across UA-cam. Not only this particular video but all your channel videos are a godsend to help develop my guitar playing to much higher plane. Thank you.
Note: I'm a voiceover agent. I have to say, your vocal delivery over the content is perfect. You have the right tone, speed and pacing. You're very easy to follow. Great editing as well.
Tip for beginners: sometimes you may find it easier to use this exact method, but on your treble E string instead (E1). The dissonant notes stand out more as the wrong notes, and the right notes sound more "right".
Excellent tip! I did have a little trouble with that, and I can see how this will help. Thanks! 59 yo and ‘playing’ for only 3 years. Finally can move my barre chords at a decent pace. On a good day. 🤷🏼♂️ But I still can’t play along in chords. 😵💫 Single notes are easy for a long-ago trumpeter, and far less uncomfortable. I (edit: obviously) have no self-discipline and an easy-going teacher. 😊 Have a great day!

Pretty nice description for beginners. Eventually you get to the point where your ears and your hands have the muscle memory to just jump to the key w out you barely thinking about it, but that's easy for me to say bc I've been playing over 30 years. But that started to happen for me about 5-7 years after I began playing.
Yes this is definitely the case.... I would practice the above method in this video on adverts/commercials between TV shows as a kid and after a year or so I could jump straight to the key without any thought pretty easily. I feel most musicians that have been playing for a few years generally are all capable of this but for those who are not yet able to then this video will certainly teach you how to approach this useful skill.
Total beginner's tutorial - Its better to try and learn the sound of an open string or an E tuning fork and the sound of intervals as thats the doorway into perfect pitch. When you learn violin, you play an A, hold your finger down as you woudl playing an A and sing the A too - it goes in, takes time but you are able to identify keys eventually.
I hope you stopped making videos because something good happened and not because you gave up because your channel is a gold mine my friend, and sooner or later, people are gonna find it ! Please keep going!
Great tip. Other than playing the full pentatonic scale you can pay attention to the note right bellow the root note. I.e. you found out that 10th fret (D) sounds like a main (root) of the scale. However before you stumbled on 10th fret you've also listened to 8th (C) and 9th (C#) fret. C would be the 7th note in D minor scale, while C# would be the 7th in D major. In other words, if you found your root key, and half step bellow it doesn't sound good - it's probably a minor scale and vice versa. That works if we are not talking about modes ofc
Interesting way of explaining it. I'll definitely be sending this to other guitar friends as I've never been able to explain how I do it. I do a similar process but usually will just start playing some notes and instantly know what key a song is in based on where the note I played is in the scale. For example if the song is in D and I hit a G note, I will instantly know (from practice) that that G is the IV of the key that the song is in which means the song is in D. And if I hit a note that definitely isn't in the key, I'm only one note away from a "correct" note and can instantly still work it out from there. Knowing your Roman numerals really helps. If you know it well enough it also means you can easily play chords along with almost any song
Yup! I wanted a very straightforward example for the last song...so you definitely should have had heard that E was the key if you already have an ok ear!!
No problem! Perhaps check out my playlist Lead Guitar Tool Box: ua-cam.com/play/PLcIs25jv9P96vFf7mfO0z2HBdYRoqYfWq.html you should find plenty of helpful lessons on how to play guitar solos!
This might be my favorite guitar information channel on UA-cam. The videos get right to the point and the approach is very easy to follow. Thank you for doing this! You have another subscriber.
Some good tips here but quite often recorded pieces are not quite regular pitch which complicates, some a few cents off, and that fitting note never comes, ..It was really bad in the day of records when I was first trying to figure how to paly a song I liked, Then came turntables you could adjust so it was in regular pitch --
Bro I tried this out and it worked first time. The key was F Minor and i googled it turned out it was correct. Thanks bro! Also, please make a melody and chords one, that would be super helpful!
This really made my day, wish I had known about it sooner. I tested this right away on a couple of songs, and strangely enough the first 3 were in C# key. I really thought I was doing something wrong until I googled the chords, but it was correct. What a strange coincidence lol! Will absolutely recommend this video if I see someone struggling with this. Thank you!
I find it easier to use to top E string. You can hear easier which notes are 'bad'. Before you know it you will see a Tone tone semitone pattern forming somewhere.
Used to be really be amazed when people could find the key of a song so quickly and easily. Stumbled upon your video today through my recommendations and I must say I've learned a lot today. Slowly getting the hang of this, thank you!
I’ve been doing exactly this for some time, but man this would have been helpful when I was in that long, drawn out discovery phase. Thanks for reinforcing it for me!! 👍🏼👍🏼
That phase is where I’ve been stuck! I finally get to take the next step. Phew. Thanks for the comment from someone who’s been here, Alex. I thought it was only me. 👍 (Ok, i know we all have, but still… 🤷🏼♂️😉)
Excellent stuff SamJam! I've always kind of bluffed my way through with pretty much the same approach to find a melody to shove into a chord progression. I don't feel so silly now, thanks for uploading this great vid.
Ive been practicing guitar for almost 2 years as a hobby. I never knew how to find keys in songs or what they really referred to. I saw this video in my recommendations. So, I wrote down the notes and used it in about 4 different country songs (cause their easy for beginners and my novice ears) and holy cow! I was able to find the key by the 2nd song. I had to listen to the songs a few times but this tip was 1000% worthwhile. Also being able to tell if its a major or minor, makes it fun to fingerpick the scale during the song. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the lesson. It’s perfect! Also It would be an awesome video about how to find the other chords. I have problem finding different Chords sounds, like F5+, sus, etc. Thank you so much!
Thanks! Learning how to identify the basic chords in a key will be coming up soon and after I will definitely put together a more advanced video that explains hearing different chord types/qualities other than major and minor 👌
@@Samjamguitar I'll share your channel on my page if you upload the chords video as soon as tomorrow because i have some competition and i really need it asap
Great video. Not something I really need personally, but this is a question that comes up on online forums quite often, and it's important to have a video that explains (and demonstrates) this concept in a really simple way. It's difficult to communicate this through text. I mean, this is one of the most important concepts about music theory IMO. People talk a lot about keys, but I think a lot of people don't properly understand the most important thing about a key that is the tonal center. And if people don't understand tonal centers and can't hear them, then the concept of keys will make little sense. I've been looking for a video that would demonstrate this in an easy way, but hadn't found one before this. Well, there was another video that touched on the topic that was decent, but this one is much simpler, and also shows an easy method for finding it that isn't just "feel it and sing it" - which BTW I don't think is bad advice, but not everyone can do that instantly. The method shown in this video on the other hand helps with practicing hearing it if one can't find it instantly.
Amazing. I taught myself how to play lead guitar using this exact method years ago without knowing it was a method. Eric Clapton and Howlin' Wolf playing Little Red Rooster. I found the key and I just started p[laying.
YOOOOO! IT WORKS BRO!!! You know how i did this till i saw your video? I played alonng till i got the Melodie and then i knew witch mode ...but if ther was no A-Note played in the song, for example, i didnt knew the key for shure. So Thanks for the easyer way! And do the chord Video! This one Was Great.
Excellent .... Thank you VERY VERY much, if all my teachers at school were like you I would be a trillionaire. To the point no backline story just the nitty gritty. ;-)
Holy crap. I've watched countless videos about this subject and they are all complete dog shit compared to this. You've done in 5min, what countless over produced videos that drag on for 15+min could not do for me. Definitely subscribing. Fantastic work man, really.
So, many people have asked me how I find out the song key and I wasn't always able to explain to them properly but you have expressed it in a simple understandable manner, Great job! Imma send this to everyone who have asked me or will ask me in the future. Great video man
Oh my god I tried this one with 4 songs and got all the equivalent keys correct!!! I literally can't believe this as I barely have experience with music. Thank you so much.
Thanks Matteo Giberti! Glad you enjoyed this one as the idea came following our chat on a recent community post! so you could say this one was for you👍
@@Samjamguitar Thank YOU for this GREAT video! As I said before, your unique way of teaching guitar stuff makes me really understand what other videos and even guitar lessons I've taken in the past never did. Now I just have to train my ears and practice!
When i was a young boy, every time i was asked "how do you figure out the key/chords?" All i could say was, "just listen." I didn't realize that this one could be taught or be trained on. 🤔🤫
Thank you so much for this video. I have been playing guitar on and off for over 40 years and listening to music for even longer than that and this is the first time I have been able to easily discern the key of a song! I haven't looked yet, but I am going to see if you made that video on how to figure out the chords of a song.
Well done explaining this technique efficiently and straight to the point. This is a method I’ve used as a backup for decades but wasn’t even self-aware that it needed explanation until teaching my son guitar - so thank you again very much for the assist! We don’t know what we know until we know what they don’t know!

Are there any songs that use the full circle of 5ths?
no clickbait, straight to the point and easy to understand. You're the real MVP
Much appreciated 👌 welcome to the channel!
@MikesEast I think because that's how you view it while playing
Yup
brother i dont even know what a key is
😂
how tf do you open yo door
I’m with you 😂
Bro ur not yet a guitarist
😂😂😂@@zupppzuppp7963
ask the Drummer
The bass is so easily ignored in the majority of songs, yet by simply paying attention, one can figure out a song structure quickly
Very true👍
Trying to explain this to people is unnecessary difficult
easily ignored by you!! maybe 😎
People ignore bass?
The bass is litterly the most important thing to listen to. If you have the bass soprano and the chord quality then you can figure out what the chord is.
That's how a video should be made, straight to the point, 5 minutes length. Tired of watching 15-20 minutes of length videos which could have been explained in just 4-5 minutes. Great work 👍

I didn’t expect this to be helpful, but it was.
Subscribed.
@@Samjamguitar fantastic explanation to keep it simple. Theory is so intimidating. Thanks you!
Try note E and how it relates, or Bb. if you know circle 4th 5th
I learnt this playing on church
Great lesson, as always! Yes, please, would LOVE to see a video explaining your method for finding the chords -- and, if you're up for it, the melody -- of a song. You walk us through these things so clearly. Thank you!
Hi Boomer Dell! Great idea! I will add figuring out melodies by ear to the list👍 thanks for watching!
transcribing chords is much more advanced than transcribing melodies
+1
I love the “this will sound bad” warning lol. Really shows how we’re naturally programmed to listen for “good” sounding patterns
Excellent video! About as clear as can be. Love the key icon. These types of videos are insanely useful for me. Please make more videos. You obviously have a great talent for making them.
Thanks, will do!

Some of the best 5 minutes a new musician could ever spend on UA-cam. Sensational video!

Step one: have perfect pitch. Done xdd
If anyone ever asks me again how to identify the "key" of a song, this is the video I'm sending them. Awesome tips!
Cheers!
lol i misread the title and was like why is he only teaching for the key of A
🤣
Something tells me he titled it that way intentionally… 😐
INSANELY underrated channel
Thanks!
"0 music theory": Proceeds to talk about notes and pentatonic scales :)
Concise and to the point. Well done. You have a new subscriber.

Not sure if you already made the chord video or not but I would love to see it. This video was so helpful
that full chromatic scale from E to E at 4:05 just to find the root... sounded amazing as an intro for that song!
On that last song when I heard the first E I knew it was E right away. Guess I'm a natural, huh? ;)
Yup! I wanted a very straightforward example for the last song...so you definitely should have had heard that E was the key if you already have an ok ear!!
This was the most important guitar lesson I have had in my entire life, it works, thank you!
Glad it helped!
A vid for identifying chords would be amazing!
In the works!

Great video. Anyone knows a place I can practice this online? (with answers)
Like the video and would love to see more on figuring out the chords also.
Working on it!
@@Samjamguitar we are eager to get it!
I find it easier to use to top E string. You can hear easier which notes are 'bad'. Before you know it you will see a Tone tone semitone pattern forming somewhere.

WOW! This is the ONLY channel that makes Me actually feel confident I can actually learn stuff that always seemed obscure to me!
Thanks Matteo Giberti! Glad you enjoyed this one as the idea came following our chat on a recent community post! so you could say this one was for you👍
@@Samjamguitar Thank YOU for this GREAT video! As I said before, your unique way of teaching guitar stuff makes me really understand what other videos and even guitar lessons I've taken in the past never did. Now I just have to train my ears and practice!
+Matteo Giberti Brilliant! Really pleased my videos are helping 🙂
Fuck! mind blown! Been playing guitar myself for almost 20 years, messing around and such. But this was life changing!
Glad to hear it!
3:42 Did not think i would stump on a meme in a middle of a lesson. This is gold
When i was a young boy, every time i was asked "how do you figure out the key/chords?" All i could say was, "just listen." I didn't realize that this one could be taught or be trained on. 🤔🤫
It can!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been playing guitar on and off for over 40 years and listening to music for even longer than that and this is the first time I have been able to easily discern the key of a song! I haven't looked yet, but I am going to see if you made that video on how to figure out the chords of a song.
You're very welcome! The video is in the works!
You're video's are nothing short of brilliance so clear and easy to understand thanks .keep them coming .
Cheers...and yes I will keep them coming your way👌
I find it much easier and faster to just slide up a sting and you'll just hear what note to stop on, instead of playing each note.
That's the point I make later in the video.... it does simply become a quick slide.
Well done explaining this technique efficiently and straight to the point. This is a method I’ve used as a backup for decades but wasn’t even self-aware that it needed explanation until teaching my son guitar - so thank you again very much for the assist! We don’t know what we know until we know what they don’t know!
Glad to help!
Me at the end hearing its in E since he played the open strings being like stop you got it you got it
🤣🤣🤣
Priceless data and presentation
You rock.
Thanks for everything
I appreciate that!
