How'd I miss this? I've been focusing on double stops using 3rd and 4ths across each key to lock them in and figure out the fretboard - this is an amazing companion lesson to bring that technique/theory into practice in a super melodical way. love it!
Pretty cool voicing, You basically took your first position C-Maj7 "shape" as a barre but lowered the D string from the 9th (B note, 3rd) to the 7th (A note, sus2) making a GMaj7sus2 (x-10-7-7-7-x) giving the 1st (G), suspended 2nd (A), 5th (D), and major 7th (F#).
My composition teacher said when we discussed sus chords that’s it’s really only a sus chord if it leads to the third, if it doesn’t a sus2 would really be a 9 chord or add 9 with no third. I can’t say with certainty that he’s correct, but he’s pretty well educated on the matter. So if he’s correct it’s a Gmaj9 in this context.
@@seaneverett7576 Yes, but because of the key the major third is already implied so it still counts as a maj9 even if the third is omitted. The guitar is limited to a maximum of 6 notes at a time and most of us also only have five fingers, so it's not always possible to incorporate every note of a chord when they get too advanced, like say a full 13 chord. Also the third could well be played by another instrument too. But according to my teacher, for it to count as a sus2, the second needs to actually resolve to the third, which in this case it doesn't. If he's correct, that is, which I believe he is. On the other hand sus2 and add9 are used interchangeably a lot of times in popular music. But in a classical context they'd slap you across the fingers.
@@crashdelta You do need the 3rd to be a maj9, I think you have it backwards, and really in this instance, it only takes two fingers to make the chord, barre the whole 7th, and your choice finger on the A string in the 10th, play 'em all (except low E) and maj9, omit the 3rd (high-e) and it's maj7sus2. Or be really tricky and x-10-9-7-7-5 for yet another: maj9 (1st G , 3rd B, 5th D, maj7 F#, 9th A) The point is moot tho, one could also argue naming it from A Major scale that it's an Asus13/G ... If you wanna say the 3rd is implied, by all means say it's a maj9. If you wanna call it an inversion and the A note is your 1st call it an Asus13/G ... (7th G, 1st A, sus4 D, 13th F#, 9th B)
nice lesson, but surely one should consider this the DMAJOR pentatonic rather than the BMINOR? OF course the notes are the same, but it stands to reason, you are alternating between the I and IV with a major sound sir
How do you come up with these opening lines 🤔 different for every video, funny, thought provoking and just entertaining also my favourite part of your videos 😂. I wish I was far enough in my playing journey to follow along with your videos, I get so lost in the dialogue of the technical theory wording and I get flustered by it all. Still love your stuff though.
That opens another little world to explore on the fretboard - thanks!

Oh man, I totally learn by combining concepts with the lesson at hand. Perfect and thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, juicy lesson!
Juicy 4 baby!
I always put arrows between fingers lately

Thanks for honoring Prince Birthday month with your purple shirt! 🎉
Oh just wait, I've got a great Prince vid coming up
Luv it. Nice and easy man. That's where I'm at
Glad it was helpful
You have just made my life 10 times better with this lesson tysm. Also what guitar is that?
You can read water? Wow. Well, the Oceans have the entire Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia set, if you know which isle to look in, and it's all free.

Useful fun and cool - thx
Glad you think so!

@@crashdelta If you include the High E-string also in the 7th fret (B Note, your 3rd) absolutely then it is a Gmaj9

Thanks for the interesting lesson! And best of luck with your literacy journey. 🎸👌
Books are next!
For those that need this drilled in further, listen to “Moonlight Mile” by The Rolling Stones.
Love the lesson, man my pinky is good but not that good! Helluva time reaching but will modify and make do somehow.
I like your tele sean
There was some good humor in this one!
Thanks!

could you possibly do a whatever folk song in c tutorial it's my favorite elliott smith song but i can't seem to play it accurately
Nice
you da kine, brah!

Thank you for some easy fun, theory and me does not mix, I'm an artist underneath. Simplicity I understand, I'm an old bass playa!😂
I have heard variations of this a jillion times but never knew. The explanation is so simple! Thank you. 🎸
Thanks for watching!
