James Maxwell I think it rather shows how popular the tune is and how relatively underused the progression is. Thus, when you hear the same chord progression the only song you can think of is Imagine. I have a similar thing with the Creep Chord Progression by Radiohead.
Very interesting. The chromatic approach you illustrated is more pleasing to the ears (mine anyway) when taken in half steps. BTW, I am a bass player so chromatic walking lines complement guitar chords progressions nicely.
I really liked this one, everything was very useful! Great lesson. It took me over an hour to watch this video cause i kept having so much fun trying different things using these fundamental ideas.
You provide a lot of information in your tutorials, and I use that information on piano mostly because my guitar skills are weak. Could you provide a chord diagram in the corner of your videos? It would be nice to see how the fingering changes on the fretboard.
How about instead of using the C+ in minor, you use an Ab major in 1st inversion instead, except we'll call it a C minor 6 chord and say that it has the 6th chord degree with the interval of a minor 6th.
Are there any musical symbols to represent a "Rootless" chord? Say like an "A" min 6 (C-E-F)? I get that it could be interpreted as an F Maj 7 (c), but if for consistency's sake we Really wanted it to be an "A min 6".
It might not be directly related to this topic, but is it true that the 3rd note of a chord shouldn't be included in the upper voices when you use it in the first inversion?
In general, this is good advice as in many cases it makes the chord sound better. It's not formally forbidden, though, and there are many examples of first inversion chords with the 3rd in the upper voices that sound fine.
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Thanks for your reply. Is it a matter of overtones that it's better to avoid the upper 3rd note of a chord in the first inversion? It might depends on its voicing, right? This is related to my question about your another video that you answered for me. It's about C（C7） chord which could or not have G note in the 3rd fret of the 6th string. My teacher told me before that it's better to stop the 3rd fret of the 6th string when you play C chord in the 1st position than open E note, because it is the first inversion of the chord and it sounds unclear when intentionally or accidentally you pick the 6th string open while it's the second inversion of it when you pick the 6th string stopping the 3rd fret（G note） and it doesn't sound unclear. His word impressed me so deeply that I'm likely to concern about inversions of a chord. That is why I asked this question. Thanks again.
Grazie! aT the moment I have this: ua-cam.com/video/KqpZTAg6ltw/v-deo.html and also this: ua-cam.com/video/Vlys5drfG_o/v-deo.html but I take requests if you want more :)
Hi, I have two questions... First, How many months take more or less the "Complete Chord Matery" whatching one video per month? and second, Do you speak a little slow than in you tube? ; ) as english in not my mother tongue
There is no book: Complete Chord Mastery is a video course, and you can get it here: www.musictheoryforguitar.com/chords-and-harmony-guitar-lessons.html

SMOKE ON THE WATER
Loved the sound of the augmented chord in minor...so many possibilities for something so simple...must watch for songwriters
Excellent!
So, if I understand correctly, what you are saying is that I need a whiteboard.
Everybody needs a whiteboard ;)
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Haha, yes. I've burned through too many paper pages since I saw this video. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar This comment is the greatest advice of this entire channel.
(But I'm still going to watch some other vids... Just because...)
Outstanding introduction to voice leading.
What an amazing channel! 🫶 Super useful info! 🎉
It is amazing how you can "Hear" Imagine from the example even before you mentioned the song name. It shows how powerful it is.
James Maxwell I think it rather shows how popular the tune is and how relatively underused the progression is.
Thus, when you hear the same chord progression the only song you can think of is Imagine.
I have a similar thing with the Creep Chord Progression by Radiohead.
I love your teaching style. Very clear!
one of the best best channels on UA-cam!
Maaan, that was so helpful! Thank you for sharing the knowledge! 🖤
Great video, thanks again Tommaso! The more I learn, the more the basics amaze me
~Amazing sounds....I love it when you point & we hear.....great teaching....🙂

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are amazing!
You are amazing
Another great video, so happy I found this channel 👍

another very useful lesson, thank you very much, we desperately need more of this
Love it! For those of us who never got to go to music school.
Excellent, thank you 👍
I see this video, I immediately pressed "Like". 😊😊 Good stuff.
I really liked this one, everything was very useful! Great lesson. It took me over an hour to watch this video cause i kept having so much fun trying different things using these fundamental ideas.
Another brilliant lesson , many thanks
What's crazy is the c maj7 c7 f also sounds like strawberry fields
Great Lesson, thankyou!
Very good lesson ! Thanks !
Tommaso, you are the true guitar hero! greetings from brazil.
Great stuff! You have some of the most practical, well-explained, and concise videos I've found. Thanks!
The chorus of "I can't go for that" by Hall and Oates is a classic example of this.
Cmaj, Cmaj7, C7, F.
It's a classic Stevie Wonder "cliche" too. Almost every song of Stevie has this progression hahaha
George Harrison used number 2 in “something”
Can't thank you enough for this! Achieved a surge of understanding and inspiration :)
Never thought of it this way, awesome!
Thanks so much for your videos, they really are brilliant.
Fascinating music and chord progressions!
Brilliant !
Wonderful thanks!
Very cool ideas Tommaso!

With the 7rh example could you use a diminished to flatten the G - killing the voice-leading 👍
Are there any musical symbols to represent a "Rootless" chord? Say like an "A" min 6 (C-E-F)? I get that it could be interpreted as an F Maj 7 (c), but if for consistency's sake we Really wanted it to be an "A min 6".
You should include 1 Vm7 17 IV

Complimenti per questi video fantastici!.. Farai anche qualche esempio sulle modulazioni per fare cambi di tonalità?
Grazie! aT the moment I have this: ua-cam.com/video/KqpZTAg6ltw/v-deo.html and also this: ua-cam.com/video/Vlys5drfG_o/v-deo.html but I take requests if you want more :)
Grazie mille!
Please do C to Am. Thanks
First Exemple C G#° Am

Example 4 screams for a Fm as fourth chord :)
Yep. Agree. The Fm is screaming inside my head.
It's so clear!

Is this similar concept as "passing chords" in Western Swing?
How can i buy your book in France ?

wowwwww muy buen video, nuevo sub y cliente tambien, sigue asi.
Kind of harder without the tabs on this one
I thought CM7 to FM7 sounded awesome on its own

does anyone else get anoyed from the dissonance between what he was writing on the board and what he was playing? :_
Very nice Sir, I am also created a tutorial channel for song writing... Your valuable opinion are most welcome 😊
Thanks for the elementary school-level theory.
Wonderful. Thank you!
