    Awesome Rick!- Bought the book a while back. Music Theory is so addictive, once you start putting it all together- It takes some time for sure, but it's so freakin' worth it- I remember when I took a class at Santa Monica College, (because I was so frustrated I couldn't learn the modes!) - But one day in class, everything just clicked in my little brain, and I was so excited, I almost had to leave the classroom! ..lol- That was a great day, and I've been hooked ever since- great video man

First few chords, especially the Fmaj with the b and e string open was very STPish. I wish I had these videos ten years ago in high school when I tried to teach myself chord theory. Ibfound it a valuable challenge, but wouldve saved a lot of time! This distilled weeks of learning scale notes and shapes.

  • @adam872
    @adam872 4 роки тому +1

    I've settled on a method these days where I treat the note in the bass as the root (I mostly play piano/keyboards) and build up the chord from there, or sometimes use a slash chord notation when it makes sense. For example, A in the bass and C-E-G I would wrote as Amin7 or C/A. I think this is the way Donald Fagen approaches chord conventions and it makes sense to me.

Circumstances absolutely rips - lot of time signatures in a small package. Struggled to pull that one off on the ol' Rickenbacker for many a sleepless night. Wonder if I can still do it...

      Same here. As soon as I heard the Fmaj7#4 I thought "Almost there..." and then came the Lifeson chord, and Xanadu started ringing in my head.

      I got a little giddy about that. Alex Lifeson uses so many interesting and unique chords. So much fun to play.

    Rick, you are a musical god. Thank you for what you bring to us lowly musicians with only a tenth of what you know.

    There are quite an infinite amount of chords in music, it gives so much variety and possibilities indeed! Of course, it is way important and helpful when you can identify a chord to determine countless factors in a musical piece. Thank you for the advice and knowledge!

      Except there's not an infinte amount of chords in music, as they all have function in one way or another, the same way there's not an infinite amount of keys in music (tonal based or 12 tone etc.)

      @@RC32Smiths01 Sure, I would imagine you're coming from a limitless imagination standpoint and that's where the magic in music makes my life woth living. Especially given the fact that there's an exact spectrum of sounds that our minds can perceive/react to.

      Now I'm no mathematician, but I believe as there are 11 unique notes in the chromatic scale there should be something like 11! (or 39,916,800, which is a lot less than "an infinite amount") note juxtapositions possible, including individual notes. But then there would be 39,916,799 options to follow your first note/chord, and then 39,916,799 options to follow that one, etc. And then you can put chords on top of chords, or have two melodic lines running parallel in different keys...Still ain't infinite, but it's definitely a helluva lot of possibilities.

      @@creamcheese65 I'm not an English professor, but I can tell you that "quite an infintie" is one of those fatuous phrases like totally unique or a bit prgenant. It's a shame people can't get a grip on what an absolute is and how to use it.
