    What do you think? Was I able to make 2 chords more interesting and emotional than you expected, or did I fail miserably? Leave me a comment!

      wouldn´t even have noticed you only played with two chords if it wasn´t for the title. In other words, huge success

    This shows the power of inverted chords and additional notes added to the chord such as D2, DM7 etc. Include some connecting melodic lines and you’ve got a great composition. I find “simple” music to be the most moving at times. Great video, Nathan!

    When I was younger me and my guitar friends used to joke: "oh, this song uses only two chords" or "this guy can play only two chords". And what I like about you and your playing is how you completely crush this musical paradigm. Thank you! Thank you for your passion for music! It is infectious(I bought Take on Me, last of us 2 emotional version tabs and learning it. I have so much happiness in my life simply from practicing guitar, the song that I like.) So, yeah, thank you for everything that you do! 🙂

    Well done. Picking the I and V (or IV) gives you all the notes of the key. You clearly know how to take it from there. Super clean playing and a great recording doesn’t hurt either. Thanks for sharing.

    • @woodybrison
      @woodybrison Рік тому

      In C major, notes are c d e f g a b. Chord "I" = ceg. "IV" = cfa. This leaves out notes d & b

    It's the same story as Imagine Dragon's "Natural." Good musicians (like you) can make great music with a few resources. It's all practice and passion with a pinch of music theory.
    ("Natural's" two chords are Dm and A7, if you're wondering).

    • @BeyondTheGuitar

    That was great, but did you not use inversions and extensions? And isn't that essentially forming several other chords from the key?

    Additional notes were added, so it's not simply two chords. Nevertheless, it sounds good despite the deceptive title.

      That's very much debatable. It really depends on how you choose to separate melodic elements from the harmony.
