I've got to learn this
Awesome lessen. I took guitar lessons for 4 years and he never was able to teach what I learned from you in a relatively short video. Thank you!
Helpful as always!
Man, I've heard this explained before, but this really opened my eyes a bit more. I still don't quite get all of it, but it's starting to make a lot more sense. Thank you!
Criminally underviewed!
Thanks Andrew!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you 👍
Brilliantly described! Thank you 🙏🏻
Makes a lot of sense, thanks Brian.
Great lesson Brian!
I love your style of explaining things... excellent job....thanks!! 🙏
I'm definitely going to work on this 👍🏻
You are very straight forward I will pray your subscribers grow and much respect.
Great lesson, fantastic information!
... I had kind of known about humming for the home tone and from there, for me, it was a shot in the dark at playing through the different progressions, but, it didn't always workout.. Your tonal centre isn't always going to be the one chord.. so I got lost and kinda gave up on it.
Using the lullaby and stairway as a reference is pure genius and uses sounds we all know to decipher most songs... i'm really pumped to try this out now.. thank you Brian for finding ways to make this all make sense.
Another top lesson. Loved the use of Stairway to Heaven when identifying the 4, 5 and 6 chords. Thank you!!
Thank you so very much
I'm watching many of your videos , brilliant thanks a lot.
This specific is your specific way and it make a lot of sense because that's the way , I learnt to play songs and chords progression in a similar way ...just I understand many times I didn't played covers in the the right key ...just in the right chord progression.
the key is not so easy for me unless I'm trying over the song ...not that perfect absolute ear in my house 😂
Pretty fly white guy😸
fucking genius.
Hey Brian, when you talk about do-re-mi aren't you talking about an ascending melody/scale rather than harmony (chords)? Same with the descending line at the end of Stairway to Heaven. What happens when the chords are in their first or second inversion and the root note isn't on the bottom and the melody note isn't on the top?
The notes of the scale each represent a corresponding chord. Playing the "Do re mi..." scale will sound exactly the same regardless of if you use single notes, power chords, triads, 7th chords, or even extended chords. This also applies to inversions as well. The goal is to HEAR and IDENTIFY the "1 chord" (or 6 chord), and then from there use known references to pinpoint what the other chords are. Assuming to be correctly nailed down the 1 chord, the references will get you to the other chords!
Another wonderful vid. I am in awe. Sounds so unbelievably useful. However I am already totally lost. Can't reliably identify if a chord is major or minor. So I suppose I will have to try to get to that standard. Question though. If I recognise that a chord is say the 1st or last and I start with the assumption it's major and hence the 1 chord, I still don't know WHAT chord it is. So how would i know what the other chords would be. That's my first starting problem.
Yup..you need a guitar in your hand for that. This video is about figuring out the chord progression without figuring out the actual chords 😁
@@zombieguitar What do you do Brian if the song is based around power chords which of course are not Major or Minor as they don't have a 3rd? What I do find it difficult is when a chord progression is not in the same pitch i.e. maybe an open C (as number 1) with an Am (6 ) played as 5 string bar chord on the 12th fret. I would love to use your method just don't believe I am up to it.
@@grimreaper-qh2zn power chords are all representative of major and minor chords within the key. Perfect example is the ending to Stairway...A5 G5 F5. However that progression is representative of a vi V IV progression. The same is true for any progression that uses power chords.
The more you practice this stuff, the easier it becomes. I can't even listen to music anymore without doing this ear training. It's an "all day, every day" type of thing, not something that I just pick and choose when to do.
Come to think of it, maybe you don't want to be doing this. It tends to take the "fun and mystery" out of music 🤷♂️
@@zombieguitar I just wonder if I can go any further. Everyone has their own level. I do try hard but find myself very frustrated at what I can't do. Yes over the years I have improved but I find it impossible to progress from where I am. If you like widen my abilities. When people ask my wife (when they see guitars around the house) "Does Bob play the guitar" she say "Yes he's quite good" I say "you have no perception of how low my ability level is" I feel like Mr Tanner from the Harry Chapin song (if you know it). Just play in the dark of night when no one can hear.
@@grimreaper-qh2zn we are our own worst critics 🤷♂️
I dont have perfect pitch, but I can pick out an open G chord from a mile away.
Glad to hear someone sings worse than me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is fascinating, though it seems easier to just find where the minor pentatonic scale works
Great video as always!!
This is the "no guitar in your hands" method though, so we can't resort to the pentantonic test 😁
@@zombieguitar Your singing is a helpful tool. Thanks for being brave and open so we can learn (and maybe even force us) to vocalize too. Your lessons are reliably straight goods. Thanks Brian
Brian if the intro to Stairway to heaven starts with a minor is that the 6 chord? What would be the 2nd chord in the intro?
If you think of the first chord as "go to", and then the second chord as "sleep"...you can hear that it's a vi - I to start off 😁
All along the watchtower is also in the same progression as Stairway to Heaven 🙂
Yessir 😁
The melody from Brahms' lullaby is a minor third interval. How does that translate to a root and six chord?
The distance between 6 and 1 is a minor 3rd interval.
Hey, Brian. One wrong note in Brahms' lullybye. 😂
Quick question... How do you name the root note of a Dorian mode (I guess 2?) and the root note of phrigian mode as (i guess 5?)?
Dorian would be 2, and Phrygian would be 3. Mixolydian is 5 😁
@@zombieguitar OMG I was using b3 b6 b7 for minor you gave me a completely new perspective. **THANK YOU!**
@@zi-gp nothing wrong with thinking b3, b6, b7 for minor. I personally find that adhering to the "12 key" line of thinking simplifies SO MUCH in music though...so I go with that as much as possible, especially when learning songs by ear! 😁
How about how to identify non major/minor chords in a progression?
That's all just icing on the cake. Get the "cake" part down, and you're 95% of the way there
How do you know when to change chords? I hear "changes" quite often only to realize it's not a change.
You'll get better at this the more you practice!
Breakthrough Guitar is piggy backing on your videos through ads. Unfortunately, the claims are bogus and giving guitar instruction a bad name. Just wanted you and others who follow a heads-up. Stick with and support Z Guitar for all your learning needs!!!
Brian I’d like to challenge you that I am indeed the worst singer in the world 😂 I must say I greatly underestimated my own ear is much better than I ever thought it was it just takes practice! Bass lines aren’t to hard to figure out then 9 times out of 10 if you know a little theory you’ll get the changes!
Like Ed Sheeran, I can spot a vi, I, IV, V progression a mile off
Found this confusing. If you are just trying to figure out what the possible chords might be in a song, why not just stick to the do re me... song after you have identified the key? Also I found it tough that your fist example was in a minor key right off the bat and your second example had a chord substitution. Would have preferred something much more basic to start learning this process.
Thinking "minor keys" and "major keys" are inherently different is the #1 leading factor to all of the confusion in the music theory world. Therefore, it doesn't make one bit of difference that the first example was in a "minor key" whereas the second was in a "major key". That makes ZERO difference.
All songs were simply in a key, and they all had a tonal center. Identify THAT first...then figure out the rest using references in your mind.
