If you want your questions answered, write them in the comments! 00:00 is it weird that I am having more fun learning theory than learning songs? 01:04 I wonder if it would be useful to include “don’t do this” examples of attempted modal interchanges that don’t work because of the lack of voice leading? 04:17 wow just wow. Amazing secret revealed! That should be the title of this video thanks. Where were you 40 years ago my friend? 04:36 turn off the stupid background music, for god sake. What were you thinking adding such nonsense to an educational video about music theory? 05:43 Heartfelt apology 05:59 and what if all that is just a pure coincidence and wasn’t Rachmaninoff‘s intention? 07:33 i’m 58 years old is it too late for me to learn guitar? 08:02 hey Tommaso, IDK if I can ask some thing here but is there any tips about being able to play correctly when I am recording? Man I just can’t, camera off: awesome. Camera on: garbage. Help.
Also, I don’t mean to be annoying a bombard you with requests but…. Can we get a look into Elliott Smith’s playing style? He talked about chords and his composition writing process as “shapes” which is pretty dang smart. If I could only pick one tho it would be the intros. Thanks, friend and I hope you have a great rest of the day. You’re the best, man.
“If you write me I will personally make sure that you get a refund on your free videos”. I think you just took “Sorry, not sorry” to the next level, Tommaso. This was the verbal equivalent of a middle finger in a silk glove! 🤣🤣🤣❤️🦁🌞
“Looking into the camera is like staring death in the face. -Werner Herzog…. I have the same problem, along with a problem with playing in front on a single or two people. Gigs are fine though. What I did was I walked around my city with guitar in hand and just played. You’ll get smiles and requests and your ego will get smaller and smaller. Good luck with it, brethren.
Regarding the "am I too old..." question - I am 56, and I began very recently (and have started to try to learn keyboard a few months ago.) A friend who is a successful attorney was asked by another friend if it was too late to go to law school. I liked his answer very much - "in five* years you are either going to be five years older, or five years older with a law degree." It might be too late for us to become prominent players, but so what? My goal when I started was "I want to be able to play sounds that I like to hear," not "be a rock star." I think it might be a little more challenging for people our age, but the challenges are really just part of the fun of learning. I really hope you decide to go for it! *5 years cuz they would have had to go part time
I started to learn (from scratch) classical guitar at 58....2 years ago, because I wanted to learn guitar technique. But it's latin american and flamenco music that infects me. I started Tommaso's Chord Mastery at 59, and WOW! I don't care where its going. The technique lessons with the theory just fills a space that playing alone did not. Stop thinking about it!
8:02 I'M JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RELATE TO THIS!!!!! Every time I play something, they are always fine, until I have to record my playing to send to my teacher, then everything collapse. 30 attempts. There are always fault, always mess up sometimes, and I just can't understand why it is. I was about to ask this on Reddit until I find this...on the right time...
I discovered the "comping" mode in my DAW.. how fun.. then I can pick out the best and edit them together.. but also helps to let me go back and find out where my weaknesses are..
Those take numbers aren't exaggerations for me sometimes. I get so caught up on the most minor imperfections. If I don't play with pristine technique I hear it, and need to start over.
In the early years of the Internet, whenever a new feature (color, sound, video, blinking text) was incorporated, people went absolutely nuts with the feature-of-the-week. I've also seen some color schemes which I'm surprised didn't make me go blind.

05:43 Heartfelt apology
05:59 and what if all that is just a pure coincidence and wasn’t Rachmaninoff‘s intention?

08:02 hey Tommaso, IDK if I can ask some thing here but is there any tips about being able to play correctly when I am recording? Man I just can’t, camera off: awesome. Camera on: garbage. Help.
Maybe tips on writing intros into the first verse? I’ve never been good at those.

I love that answer: 5 years older or 5 years older with a law degree. It really puts it in perspective. Thanks!
He’s fantastic. Wish I’d had a teacher like him when I began my music studies.

I started at 49, it is fun, it is slow progress ... I enjoy! ... It's never too late!
I came here to say this. But I play bass ;-p
@@jdmarino have a base too
thanks very informative video. would request you to please throw some light on concept of secondary supertonic chords / secondary leading tone chords.
Brother,, you are awesome.. the accent I took time to get used to .. but once I got it .. been smooth
Love the Q&A video!!

Is Adam Neely your question reader? Sure sounds like him.
1st question... Too relatable 😭😂
Thanks so much for no glitz, flashing banners or background music.
Flashing banners! That's an idea! How did I not think of this before.... (I'm joking, I'm joking...)
In the early years of the Internet, whenever a new feature (color, sound, video, blinking text) was incorporated, people went absolutely nuts with the feature-of-the-week. I've also seen some color schemes which I'm surprised didn't make me go blind.
why Adam Neely is reading questions??
Can you give an insight into tritone substitution, and chord substitution in general. Thanks
the problem mentioned in the title is a real problem
Before entering the video I hear "helllooo internet " 🤣🤣🤣
Best musical channel
Keep going.
Me too, theory. I find arranging songs for guitar tedious
Informative and amusing.
Is your fretboard scalloped?
Yes :) ua-cam.com/video/gKuKJhhKG4Q/v-deo.html

5:43 is some copypasta material
Meant every word - and will refund every penny ;-)
