I can't congratulate you enough for giving the clearest explanations of theory I have ever seen. Thank you for helping guitarists and managing to explain things clearly and directly.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "guitar chords simple" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Thank you Sean. This was a great lesson. I am 59, just started last April so I am 10 months in to learning to enjoy playing guitar. I've seen many similar graphics as you presented here, but none actually rang clear to me. My brother is a good guitarist, (a lefty) and he pointed me to your materials this past weekend. I am excited to get home from work tonight and try this exercise. Thanks again!
To put it mildly, think of each note in the C Major Scale (C D E F G A B) that he used as being two frets apart on your guitar's fingerboard, except for E and B because they are 1 fret apart from the next note. The third string is the D, so by going two frets down from the top of the fingerboard you'll play the E. After you have memorized which notes each string is, then you will try to play three notes on three different strings at the same time, following the rules he described for major/minor chords.
BLESS you for this video!!! I’m learning guitar and absolutely could not understand why and how each major chord is determined. I know the individual notes but just couldn’t understand how the chords comes together. I’ve looked at many many videos but no one was explaining HOW the chords are determined. Thank you a million times over for this!!!
As someone who is jumping head first into music, this has been the best explanation about what a key, chord, minor chord, major chord, and chord progression is that I've found.
I am a hobby guitarist and I have played for 15 years. In order to expand my playing, I want to know my way around the fretboard way better to call for a chord wherever I need and with the amount of strings I need. This gives me the basis for it. You explain very clearly and have fun while at it. New subscriber, even if I am joining in 7 years too late haha.
For those who dont get it yet . I think it helps to know First , that to get the C scale for example you got to write all the notes in music A to G ( 12 in total ) then you pull out the notes you want to make the C scale . Then after you have the C scale written out you can apply the formula Sean gives here . the 1 ,4 ,5 are major chords the 2,3 6 are minor chords . Been playing a while but only just got my head around this . But its pretty simple if you follow the steps .
WOW.... You are amazing. I finally understand it! Great stuff man. I - IV - V (C - F- G) I - vi - IV - V (C - Am - F - G) ii - V - I (Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7) The roman numeral represents the position of the root note of these chords in the C Major Scale.
It’s 2023, Bro I still watching your guitar concept video. It’s fantastic you explained fully basics of guitar in very deep way. Superb bro 😎 you are awesome. You deserve more than millions likes 👍 on this video. Love from 🇮🇳 INDIA
You are absolutely right. I wish I had known this 35 years ago when I first picked up a guitar. I have struggled ever since - and giving up many times along the way-trying to figure out how notes and chords fundamentally work together. Thank you so much!
I get it: 2 major chords + 1 minor chord = major chord 2 minor chords + 1 major chord = minor chord Basically the majority of chords determines its chord type. However, 1 major + 1 minor + 1 diminished = diminished chord Basically, one of each chord makes it diminished. If you don’t understand go to 1:23 for the diagram. Also to determine the triad, skip 1 natural chord from the root chord and do this until you get a triad.
I've had to watch like 10 videos on the topic just to get it to stick but hopefully this is the one. Thanks, what a wild time to live when 10 different teachers can teach me.
Great, simple, clear lesson! I've never heard anyone explain in this way. I've been playing guitar (self entertainment) by following sheet music, but I've never understood this main thing of a scale and how the chords are determined as Maj and Min, etc. Thank you so much!
Been playing on and off for 7 years (starting in childhood) and I always hated theory. I basically stopped playing guitar for ~2 years and picked up piano. Still never wanted to lesrn theory, but about 2 years into playing I gave it a go out of my own free will instead of having a teacher tell me I needed too. Boy did I not realise how much fun it is!! I love knowing how music is made and it's just soooo helpful! I'm trying to dip my toes into guitar theory and already love it!
Dude this is the best approach to this theory I’ve ever seen. Steven stein takes a lot longer and doesn’t do this good man. This is awesome and super fkn simple!!
All the searches I've done to figure out what a seventh is or a fifth and all this time you had the answer! Thank you! It's literally the seventh note in the major/minor scale....I was WAY over thinking this.
now I get it! Thanks!!!! So simple! Should also note that the major scale is built on tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-tone-semitone sequence. Hence for C = C D E F G A B. For F = F G A A# C D E etc. so the formula can be applied to F etc.
This video should have started with this explanation. Saying something is easy is over simplifying. There are unwavering ground rules to understand first.
Great job!! I already know the music theory but I like to see how people explain it. Your way of teaching is awesome, in my opinion. The only thing is the speed but, hopefully the good thing is it's on video, so we can pause, rewind and replay!! Keep on the good work Sean!!
Wow this video was made when I was 11. I’m 19 now so it’s crazy how helpful this video can be years down the road for somebody else. Thank you for making this!!
Dude, You make learning the guitar, learning some theory so so simple! Your're awesome. Wonder why other instructors make it seem like some guarded magic not worthy for us mortals!Thanks again - Keep making more vids - you rock Sean !
Thanks so much, but yeah it confuses me too that more instructors don't take enough time talking about the nuts and bolts behind music. The mission continues!
@@seandaniel23 I hate the way music theory is taught lol took me 6 years to get a decently functional understanding. Of course I used Toutube and never got a teacher haha probably didn’t help
Sean: I used to have a natural mohawk, when I was a baby, but it went dyslexic, trying to understand this part of music theory, ... 😂 I've been trying for so long, to understand what you just taught in a few minutes. A Great teacher makes things simple, easy to remember, and pass on. You did exactly that! That was amazingly simple, how you taught that! Thank you so much!!! I've watched quite a few videos on this subject, because I've been trying to understand, how Son Montuno players put together the progressions in Latin Jazz. You just unlocked a door for me, ... Thanks man!!! 🎶🤜🏽💥🤛🏻🎶 🙌🏽 Thanks for making my day! Saved this vid and found your Channel. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶
Not even gonna lie, ive been playing bass and guitar for 13 years and never bothered to learn actual music theory, I just played and learned what sounds good together lol but this is actually helpful. I dont work with other musicians much, but I realized music theory is basically a language that needs to be understood to be able to communicate properly when I am. Like I can play pretty well but idk the names of anything. I’m almost 30 and finally learning this stuff haha if youre younger and see this comment do yourself a favor and learn this stuff, you’ll have a better and easier musical career.
I've been playing guitar for about 15 years, and have never done anything with music theory. I've gotten through about 4 minutes of this, and I'm already confused beyond belief. I guess I need a guitar music theory for dummies book
Same. Not 15 years but can play guitar and this made no sense to me 😂 I just don't get it at all and don't feel like I need to. My dad's played for over 50 years and never learned anything about music theory. He was just bang into blues and wanted to play along to the songs he liked, he was only 15 so he got taught how to play them and I'm not really sure how he progressed from there. Probably just carried on playing his latest favourite song by ear and never actually composed any music, just naturally knew what sounded good when improvising. His playing style is vastly different from mine. I could never get his finger picking skills in a million years and don't really need to
@@暧昧-u8e I know chords and what sounds good. I used to turn on the radio and find notes on the fret board. I've only ever learned one major and one minor blues scale and kinda figured out everything else off that. :)
For the two weeks I’ve owned a guitar I’ve felt extremely confused because I didn’t understand the theory behind chords. Coming from bass to guitar it’s super confusing. This is the first video I’ve found that explains it well. Every other video has assumed the viewer has a lot of background knowledge which I just didn’t have. This video would make sense to someone who just knows the musical alphabet. Thank you!
I checked my ego and 6-gun at the door and I learned something here. Thanks for the lesson. :-) I also learned on another video how a Major and Minor are determined. 2 over 1-1/2 (maj) vs 1-1/2 over 2 (min). NOW I get it. Now - if I could just play my guitar.
this is something I have always been confused with. I am still learning but don't know where to start & where to go next. I loved this. I will be sure to go over this as much as I need to. From what others have said bout your other videos I will next chance get to watching more of them & learn more. Thank you it is a big help to someone still learning & wants to learn & loves music
This really helped. All the other information I found explained it well, but not for a beginner who knows nothing about music(me) to understand. But your video explained it well and simply. I even took notes. Thanks!
Hi man, thanks for such wonderful way of explanation. You have got great talents in music education. My question is, can you follow the same pattern as you describe for a Minor scale as well? In the video you use the C Major scale, but for instance is this possible to use the same pattern (1, 4 and 5th notes for major chords and 2, 3 and 6th notes for the minor chords) for a minor scale as well? For example: On a C# minor scale (C# D# E F# G# A B) can I find harmonize chords with the above pattern? Cheers!
Great question and it still works. Every minor key exists inside of a major key, and it's always the 6th note of the major scale. So in the video, the 6th note is A. If you're playing a song in A minor, you just plug the A into the 6 spot and everything works the same way. So for C# minor, if you think of C# as 6, D# as 7, then E is one and you're also in the key of E major. So the 1,4,5 major 2,3,6 minor still works but you need to apply it to the key of E. So you have to go one extra step but everything is still good.
Been trawling through tutorials for a week now and that was the most concise explanation yet! Much appreciated! (Seriously tho we still need your tutorial on the look-this-great at 28 technique plz).
this is pretty awesome! Most interesting part to me is how all the notes follow the same triad formula, and you can just get the difference between major and minor with how the triad sounds.
Been playing for years but never bothered with theory. My knowledge has always been a little muddled, but after watching this video everything has just fell into place... holy shit.
I have been watching your videos for at least a couple years now. I am so thankful to have found this particular video today. I had about five a-ha moments just now. Thank you so much.
So C major and A minor have the exact same notes. It's essentially the same key, but you would say it's in 'A minor' is the song starts on an A minor chord and resolves there.
This is hands down the best youtube channel about learning stuff about music and playing guitar. Finally someone that doesn't try to sell you something every second minute of the video. Thank you for what you are doing, Sean. I've been stuck with guitar for many years with my pentatonic shapes and open chords and not knowing what to do next, but by watching your videos now, I get inspired and want to learn more. It really means a lot! Thank you.

Would have helped if you related it back to guitar explain it using the fret board most guitar players learn by example and ear
To put it mildly, think of each note in the C Major Scale (C D E F G A B) that he used as being two frets apart on your guitar's fingerboard, except for E and B because they are 1 fret apart from the next note.

Hi man, thanks for such wonderful way of explanation. You have got great talents in music education. My question is, can you follow the same pattern as you describe for a Minor scale as well? In the video you use the C Major scale, but for instance is this possible to use the same pattern (1, 4 and 5th notes for major chords and 2, 3 and 6th notes for the minor chords) for a minor scale as well? For example:
On a C# minor scale (C# D# E F# G# A B) can I find harmonize chords with the above pattern?
Cheers!
Great question and it still works. Every minor key exists inside of a major key, and it's always the 6th note of the major scale. So in the video, the 6th note is A. If you're playing a song in A minor, you just plug the A into the 6 spot and everything works the same way. So for C# minor, if you think of C# as 6, D# as 7, then E is one and you're also in the key of E major. So the 1,4,5 major 2,3,6 minor still works but you need to apply it to the key of E. So you have to go one extra step but everything is still good.

I do what I can.
I spy a muse poster in the background.....
I’m happy
My fave.
wat- the rainbow thingy?
@@Valkzuu yup, it’s the album cover for their album ‘The Resistance’
@@thekid9279 ooooohhh ok :]
this is pretty awesome! Most interesting part to me is how all the notes follow the same triad formula, and you can just get the difference between major and minor with how the triad sounds.
thank you 4 this u really helped me
no body want to share a knowlage
these days ...
I gotchu!
Been playing for years but never bothered with theory. My knowledge has always been a little muddled, but after watching this video everything has just fell into place... holy shit.
So cool to hear! Thanks for reaching out and saying so :)
1:00 great tip for guitar players of any skill level
:)
thank you! i have been learning different chords by heart and now i can name them. after almost 20 years!
I have been playing the piano for a while and about half way through I realized I CAN FUCKING PLAY THE GUITAR NOW
+Boudrot Multi-instrumentalist alert!
I have been watching your videos for at least a couple years now. I am so thankful to have found this particular video today. I had about five a-ha moments just now. Thank you so much.
omg it finally clicked thank you
So cool to hear!
This is the best lesson I have seen on Internet.
Does that mean that in different keys e.g. Key of C and A, the major chord of the one key has the same notes but in the other key its the minor chord?
So C major and A minor have the exact same notes. It's essentially the same key, but you would say it's in 'A minor' is the song starts on an A minor chord and resolves there.
I usually hate watching this kind of thing because I like teaching myself but you somehow make it enjoyable/palatable
Well done
awesome, great explanation :) worth watching (y)
Thanks so much!
That was so easy to follow and all done in under five minutes. This beginner thanks you!
😂great intro
I finally understand 7th chords! 🤯
Mission accomplished!
Very confusing..😢
Stick with it! You'll get it eventually. It took me trying like 100 times before I understood. It'll come.
Jeetu Fares You'll get there. 🙇
Sean Daniel after one month I understood... Love from india....
i know im 6 months late but whats confusing you?
settle down, BlackDoge
This is hands down the best youtube channel about learning stuff about music and playing guitar. Finally someone that doesn't try to sell you something every second minute of the video. Thank you for what you are doing, Sean. I've been stuck with guitar for many years with my pentatonic shapes and open chords and not knowing what to do next, but by watching your videos now, I get inspired and want to learn more. It really means a lot! Thank you.
Thanks so much for reaching out and saying so! I'll keep em coming!
You look like ab devilliers .
And he is an awesome cricketer.
I'll take that as an extreme compliment :)
Thank you. This is the simplest and most comprehensive demo on this subject I've seen.
So if i play each note seperatly im making arpeggios? Or is that a whole another lesson
You're right on man. Arpeggios or just taking whichever chord you want and grabbing one note at a time.
Made it so clear even I can understand it. Well done dude!
Happy to help!
I’m quite a bit older and in much better shape than you Joe!!
I don't know this guy.
First video I watch.
A few seconds in and I already love him ahahah
