Understanding Chord Progressions: A Simple Intro To VOICE LEADING

[@mymatemartin]

You're unlocking the very DNA of musical structure and showing how it lives. It's amazing. Thank you.

[@bhargabnayanhazarika1212]

He is amazing

[@svetsarkirurgen2]

This is basic voice leading. It's been in pratice hundreds of years. It's nothing new. He's not unlocking anything.

[@johnklatt6935]

You just explained in less than 10 minutes, what I've been trying for the last several years to get a handle on. That was an absolutely excellent, clear, cogent explanation. I'm going to start the process of writing out the chord tones in a progression today. This will have to enhance almost everything about my playing. Thanks so much. I may just have to take your Chord Mastery course.

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Thank YOU for making the request! :)

[@solaristologist]

@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Thank you so much dude, excellent explanation

[@jcournoyer2]

Probably hands down, one of the most useful videos on UA-cam for guitar.

[@ssslayer]

This very evident when we play on piano/keyboard and do chord inversions to ensure minimal finger & hand movement while playing a progression

[@legbakukulan4845]

1:40 Thats the LSD kicks in and you *really* make a chord progressions

[@Premed1981]

i'm an aspiring electronic music producer and i find these videos very helpful!

[@kentwood9821]

This has opened a door for me that has been locked for so long. THANK YOU!

[@andysguitar6687]

Honestly the only guitar teacher that is worthy of youtube

[@pacopann5245]

after following tommaso, after my BA and the last month of my master, i can say he's one of the best teacher i've ever had! Hope to go to a lesson by him one day!

[@micheldindaine8403]

There are hiden melodies embedded within every chords progression that can be fleshed out thank to voice leading.
your explanations are always easy to understand, I watch them as a bass player.
THANK YOU !!

[@MrEly777]

I've learned more useful information on theory from this channel in the past 3 days than I've learned in 10 years of playing guitar, 👊 this is the best music theory channel on UA-cam

[@nolet99]

Hey grazie Tommaso, for this gem. You just opened a new perspective for me 👍 I'll now have to revisit some melody/harmony stuff with a better understanding!

[@JohnnieButler-dw3yq]

Thank you, for simplifying this.

[@billbowdoin7541]

Why couldn’t you have made this video 10 years ago?…. Sure would’ve saved me a lot of grey hairs! Excellent illustration, thank you

[@stevegee9087]

This is an amazingly simple and beautifully clear explanation. Thankyou!

[@johnstrange880]

Enjoyed this very,very much.

[@johndeer4250]

holly f shirt that the easiest any body have explain this and be able to understand it finally ! this is a must watch video ! I recommend it!

[@treforparry4054]

That is such a great video. As previous viewers have said, you have a explained in several minutes what I have failed to understand/appreciate over several years. It's like switching a light on. Brilliant! Thanks for making the video.

[@leascaart]

I think I understand this. I will try it. Thank you.

[@EclecticEssentric]

Comment number 2.
I had to revisit this a year later. Thank you so much...again.

[@shivanshkaushik383]

You are the first youtube teacher from whom I'm gonna buy a guitar course (even though I'm broke :P)

[@tugginalong]

You explain your lessons in a simple yet understandable fashion. My guitar teacher should follow your example.

[@jamesmaxwell5415]

This made an immediate difference in the quality of my melodies :)

[@GaryShayne]

I actually came across this whilst trying to find tutorials on writing harmonies - of which there is a dearth. So videos on this topic would be much appreciated

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

I'd like to do it, but first let me ask: what do you exactly have in mind? I can think of 4-5 different things that people will call "writing harmonies". What situation do you have in mind specifically?

[@superwomanofjax838]

Your explanations are also applicable for singing and all other musical instrument ,it’s very helpful ,thanks

[@benwinch5338]

Wow, it's really interesting to see you explain in ten minutes what I've learned instinctively over thirty years. Great to see this simple form of notation too (notation being something I have never really utilised in any form). And I love that you chose Am/Fm -- one of my favourite starting points for messing around. Brilliant stuff Mr Zillio, keep it coming!

[@kylej.d.]

First of all, I like your beard sir. Much respect
Secondly I'm very glad I found your channel, you explain things in a very concise manner and cover topics I don't see guys like Rick Beato (whom I also like watching) covering.
This video is exactly what I needed, I've been wanting to learn how this works for a while and this is a great introduction.

[@thomasmartinscott]

I REALLY like your teaching style. It helps me see things that I've been doing for years, from a different perspective. I ALWAYS learn something. Thank You!

[@TheFeelButton]

Nice clear breakdown of the chord leading concept. Good stuff!

[@joekavanagh5708]

Multo bene, multi grazie, Tommaso. A golden nugget of guitar education.

[@Morgoth073]

Another very useful and informative lesson. Thank you again :)

[@fernandoguzman3323]

I just ran across this video. I’ve been playing on and off for years never got into theory. I am now learning and this video is so clear and simple. I will now use this practicing pentatonic scales to backing tracks.Thanks so much!!!

[@EclecticEssentric]

Great, easy to underestimate tool. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@stuartwilson4754]

I'm a piano / composition student ... your videos are incredibly helpful even to a non guitarist. Learned so much from them......

[@cherylmatthewman7216]

Doc you are the bomb as my young friends would say. I was just taking a shot at my own methods for voice leading and it fell way way short of your simple system. Thank you so much.

[@daveduffy2823]

Great lesson! This really simplifies voice leading a lot. Thank you!

[@patstreetguitar8612]

I can say a lot of thing for show gratitude, but i prefer just to say that i love you

[@jtiberk4201]

Hi Tomasso - I took lessons from Dan in your studio back in 2014 and loved it. This video on chord tone soloing is a fantastic explanation. You started me on the path towards writing and recording. Thanks! Keep up the great work.

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

[@nobnobnobnob]

Hold on, I know this guy. He's the one making articles in UG years ago. I didn't appreciate them before, but these recent videos are very useful to me. Maybe because my music vocabulary had improved, now I can comprehend what most lessons are saying.

[@aryashrestha6601]

Thanks mann. Great content.

[@brentwheeler2087]

Very helpful as usual !!! Helpful for playing "through chords".... I can see some logic..... musical logic. Thank you.

[@rodrik3]

Your videos are a pure bliss brother, you open in such an easy and logic way so many doors for any autodidact musician, who struggles to understand more about the music theory behind good music, providing such amazing tools for our develpment, I L O V E Y O U

[@keithrob9224]

You da man! Thank you for explaining this so well!

[@zachfree6126]

Thank you, such a unique and simple way to understand music. Marvellous work.

[@plumhunter9158]

I will definitely have to try this to try and simplify what notes I have available to improvise instead of guessing or playing some scale

[@GogiRegion]

Wow. I feel so dumb that I never thought of the writing chords out like that to figure out good voice leadings instead of just screwing around on piano.

[@stompcity4085]

Thank you…eminently useful xo

[@9guitarman]

I am enjoying your clearly explained lessons.

[@CleatSurfer]

Does anyone think about this numerically? Take the Cmaj scale and the 1-3-5 are C and 6-1-3 are Am. This is useful because it is key agnostic and especially evident in blues thinking I IV and V. I’ve been interested in improvising for about two years and still struggle with chord tones and aimless phrases. I mainly think of chords as shapes within the scale and feature them in my phrases. Fantastic video, btw. Definitely will check out the chord tone book and chord mastery.

[@jimscobie6646]

1:40 i think i just hit my weed pipe a little too hard. Fantastic video!

[@Frst2nxt]

Just pull the weeds out of that pipe. There, better flow now, right?

[@visionset1456]

What we need is a monster triad/voice leading exercise that goes through all the shapes and sounds great - killer exercise

[@samuelmwamkinga751]

[@downhill240]

I like to think of the chords Intervallically. This was a help too! the 1-3 of the D major becomes the 3-5 of the A minor, etc.

[@EclecticEssentric]

It helped me when I understood each chord is 2/3rds of another chord. Not just relative minors to their majors.

[@downhill240]

@@EclecticEssentric Yep! Intervals is the key to it all. then you can see the relationship. It's a big step!
