While I appreciate the effort, that's not how you write sheet music. The sharps and flats have to follow a specific order when you're writing the key signature. They follow the circle of fifths. To show an example using the sharps (#): * C major: no sharps or flats. * G major is next (the fifth from C): you add a sharp to the F -- top line of the staff. * D major next (fifth from G): you add a sharp the the C note -- second space from top to bottom. This is placed AFTER the # on the F. * A major: you add a sharp to the G -- the first space ABOVE the staff. Placed after the # on the F and the C. Following the circle of fifths, the next key would be E major (add a sharp to the D -- second LINE from top to bottom), then B major, then F# major and finally C# major. He is in A major, so the order should be: a # on the top line followed by a # on the second space from top to bottom and finally a # on the first space above the staff (right above the F#). The way it is written is confusing and I wonder how he would write if it were in C# major or something with more sharps. Those are all valid for their relative minors as well. You write the key signature for E minor the same way you write for G major (sharp on the F); D major is the same as B minor, and so on... Also, you're not supposed to write a # on every individual sharp note along the song since it is already specified in the key signature. If there is a sharp in the key signature it means that note is sharp throughout the whole song (unless specified otherwise for an individual measure or the song changes key). He added sharps to nearly every F, C and G in his tune. A musician reading that would probably be really confused and think it is a double sharp note, so instead of playing G# they would play G double sharp (G𝄪) -- meaning they would play the A note. Hope, this helps!
Cadd9 is another such beautiful chord. It has a sort of nostalgic vibe to it, and is rather simple to play as you pretty much play a basic C major chord, but play the third fret on the high E and B strings.
you’re really good at teaching diatonic stuff but i wanna learn more about how to break the rules. you should do some lessons on things that sound good but don’t follow specific scales
Look into chromatic scale, diminished scales and then look into the modes of the harmonic and melodic minor. At that point u start entering different territory, and diatonic scales is pretty much non existent lol. Start of slow though explore the modes of the major scale first and then when you get a firm grip on that then go explore chromatic notes within the major/minor scale and then tackle diminished scales followed by the harmonic and melodic minor and it’s modes. At that point u should be armed with a thorough understanding of various scale structures and modes, as well as more advanced music theory concepts and u should be ready to enter the ultimate rule breaking/bending genre there is and that’s Jazz lol. Understanding jazz concepts is ultimate theory mastery and being able to implement its concepts effectively is reaching peak level of guitar knowledge and musical understanding. You don’t need to like the music, (it helps though to appreciate it) but if u want to be able to explore more advanced concepts and bend and break rules that’s where I started. You can then take that into your own style of play and create your own unique sound and discovery limitless possibilities. It’s NOT easy by any means, but true guitar Knowledge and musical freedom/knowledge will come from a deeper and more advanced knowledge that surpasses “just the basics”. It is very rewarding and the pay off is pretty much guaranteed and noticeable as long as u study it and practice it. You also have to firmly understand note placement on the fretboard or at least how to quickly locate intervals within a key.
the thing is, everything within music follows rules whether you want it to or not, because the music was written first to sound good and then the rules were figured out AFTERWARDS to explain why things sound the way they do. anything that you think sounds good most likely has a much more simple music theory explanation than you would expect, even if it seems like it's breaking rules
Wooow these are stunning! I just found that for the first chord (Dmaj7) if you keep your pointer finger where it is but for the other fingers, keep the same shape but move each finger down a string in the same column it makes for a beautiful chord to play after the dmaj7. I’m terrible at explaining sorry but it’s so amazing I needed to share
If I can imagine you just playing the chords I can see someone just sitting on a hill maybe even with a friend or lover just watching the sun set. Nothing else just peace. Absolutely beautiful chords.
Lots of MPB songs (Música Popular Brasileira or Brazilian Popular Music) use those kind of chords - search artists like Vinicius de Moraes, Tom Jobim, Toquinho, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Djavan, and so many others
I really like it, amazing suggestion. I would suggest for you some grant green (specifically his album "Visions") for some of that same jazziness. Im sure you'll find a song off it you'll enjoy! 😅
IVMaj7(#11) - ii7 - V7(b9) - IMaj7 - vi(add9) - iii11 A lot of these “beautiful progressions” are just embellished ii-V-Is and it’s pretty easy to make something sound pretty by extending them - chord extensions dilute the cheesy sadness from minor and cheeriness from major chords.
I was Schooled to call these chords Orchestra Chords and Rhythm Chords that come out of the key Scale that a tune is created from. To have longer fingers would be a plus. Beautiful Chords Brandon !!! Play On FretBro . . . 👍😎🎸🤘🎼🇺🇸🙏 DDH 8-1-2023.
One of my favorite chords is the F/C#7. Its simply 4th fret on the A string, 3 on the D, 4 on the G, and 3 on the B. You can also leave B open and the do 4 on the E string to give the chord more finality. I like to switch the two every other measure
Don’t forget to remember the shapes as Maj7, m7, #11 etc…. Move some of these shapes to other places of the fretboard to use them in different keys and in other chord progressions
Gee thanks for show me some cool chords. I will totally be able to play them in the context of a chord progression. I will not just play one chord and have no idea where to go next
Yoooo that truly was majestic I knew 2, but my goodness me the others plus the context! ✊🏻🤘🏻 lol thank you for inspiring something new in my guitar playing! 😄
For a dramatic approach, I would suggest the minor harmonic scale, with a minor chord (i) and a Major Dominant 7 chord (V). My favorite is E minor then B Major Dominant 7 (Btw I’m a pianist)
I was going to play this for my grandpa, but I waited too long. 15 months with small cell lung cancer, died Monday. I changed the order of some of the notes, tuned my high E to drop D, and added in extra chords. It was supposed to be comforting for him, he wasn't cognitive, but he was still sorta conscious and could hear. He was around 300 miles away. It sucks. I made multiple videos of me playing it, but the audio was shaky and I always thought I could do better. I put it off, and never sent him anything. We were going to see him, I was going to play it. He's gone. He never got to hear the song I dedicated to him. It was supposed to soothe him but now it's just sad. He was brave, but I guess he can't feel or hear anything now. I guess everyone but him will be hearing it because I waited too long.
This one video actually helped me figure out why I struggle so much with chords and it’s my brain tries to make me hit one note per finger even if it would be easier to hit 2/3 with one , not sure if this is a common issue with being very badly self taught or if it’s just a me thing 😂

That’s the magic of reverb
they dont look relaxing to play😂

The program automatically converts the tab to notation. You can appreciate the effort to include the tabs, but the "sheet music", no.

Nonsense. Do you even play? Of the 2,400 possible + playable chords most don't sound beautiful. 90% of music is written with just a handful of them.

At 71, I'm still looking for beautiful chords. I write most of my own songs. This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

"Now lets just FOOOK into it." My Guy is straight to the point.
i can imagine these chords being accompanied by a lullaby
This guy's technique is nuts, in the first segment he's so fast you can't even see his fingers move!
I'm 100% getting 52week guitarist after this.
Bro what are you on about lmao
What?
you’re really good at teaching diatonic stuff but i wanna learn more about how to break the rules. you should do some lessons on things that sound good but don’t follow specific scales

Just make a backing track using chords from multiple different scales, really forces you to adapt.
the thing is, everything within music follows rules whether you want it to or not, because the music was written first to sound good and then the rules were figured out AFTERWARDS to explain why things sound the way they do. anything that you think sounds good most likely has a much more simple music theory explanation than you would expect, even if it seems like it's breaking rules
7th chords that are slowly played are like butter melting on a bagel. ❤

And it sounds better when you don’t mute any strings

I was about to say that man just discovered brasilian music
Let's not forget Lo Borges and Milton Nascimento
If you like these chords you should check out Emily by Bill Evans, uses most of those or very similar ones. Super beautiful song
I really like it, amazing suggestion. I would suggest for you some grant green (specifically his album "Visions") for some of that same jazziness. Im sure you'll find a song off it you'll enjoy! 😅
Thank you so much your tutorials are easy to understand ✨
That D Major is something else
Try it with the high E in drop D
Perfect for RnB
E to Amaj transition was amazing, thanks for the progression!
The best looking PRS model in its best color
The ending is so sad 😭 so lovely
the E7(b9) to amaj7 is such a nice pair it makes the progression sound so complete if you finish with those tao
Ima be honest i love the sound it makes when the fiingers move across the string when switching notes.
Very, very melodic and smooth - MASTERFUL - THANK YOU!
The best guitarist classic bro..👍👍
The chords are beautiful, but that guitar with the little birds on it is even more beautiful
If you were going for background music from an old video game then you nailed it.
Seems like a dream song
Great job. Thanks for taking the time. 👌🏻
Beautiful af
Awesome jazz chords there Brandon!
That is a beautiful geetar!

Good to see you rockin the PRS you bought. I still need to add a Piezo to my collection. Along with another 60+ guitars... 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful man
The Valhalla shimmer makes them really beautiful
Beautiful guitar
I was pulling for that Amaj7, bless you sir.
Pretty common chord progression, IV-ii- V-I-vi-iii. It's the upper extensions (9s, 11s, etc) that really give the song its character.

I’ve rewatched this 13 times now. I’m about to fall asleep bro. It’s 2 pm and these chords gonna make me snooze
Great tone, and clean playing
Great for beginners 😊
awesome guitar you got there sir
Nice progression
your tone is amazing!
Beautiful
Don’t forget to remember the shapes as Maj7, m7, #11 etc…. Move some of these shapes to other places of the fretboard to use them in different keys and in other chord progressions
NOW LETS JUST FOOK INTO IT
"...i text a postcard sent to you..."
Did it go trough?
sendin all my love to you
It's weird because I've had that song in my head all day and then I read your comment XD
That bm7, e7(b9), amaj7 chords reminded of Because so much
You should do full cover🔥
The chords are Beautifully cold and dark♥️ I'll try them on piano
Ive always been a huge fan of Cadd9
This reminds me of Sun King by the Beatles
Bro just the chords themselves just made me look back onto my past
Gee thanks for show me some cool chords. I will totally be able to play them in the context of a chord progression. I will not just play one chord and have no idea where to go next
Woah, nice guitar. Sounds amazing!
Yoooo that truly was majestic I knew 2, but my goodness me the others plus the context! ✊🏻🤘🏻 lol thank you for inspiring something new in my guitar playing! 😄
the first chord sounds like the first part of the song Pretender, by Foo Fighters
Full value Jazz chords
That’s why reverb is my favourite effect
That’s a fire sample right there
Beautiful As Fuck
This is the soundtrack of my brain.
FOKING NICE!!!!!!
With the prerequisite crazy long fingers of pretty much all guitar UA-camrs
Good god, that is beautiful
For a dramatic approach,
I would suggest the minor harmonic scale, with a minor chord (i) and a Major Dominant 7 chord (V). My favorite is E minor then B Major Dominant 7 (Btw I’m a pianist)
First chord sounds like the intro to days of our lives.
Good post rock chords also.
Maj7 and -7 chords will always be beautiful
Those chords so good, I'm gonna sample them
Recording em rn lol
I see you’re using your new guitar Brandon!
insanely beautiful
Majestic ❤
my hands crying rn.
Napping on a summer day vibe
the A maj 7 diagram very nice
You want us to kill with these touch chords 😂 soothing chords..
Having trouble focusing.
