Thanks alot for the inversion breakdown, i played metal guitar for 12 years then i went back ti my roots and been playing in tejano or texmex bands which uses alot of jazz chords. The cirrent bandnim in the band director is alway telling me to play different inversions and neber really understood what he meant.
His "common practice" discription is short hand for borrowing the fifth cord from E harmonic minor and substituting for the naturally occurring minor7. A parallel scale
Hey, I had the same issue and I just wanted to share some stuff I've tried that I think is cool: Music Tutor (app): Free, good for learning to sight-read notes. Quick, easy, and fun. Tenuto (app): About $6, it has a tonne of different features, my favourite though is the fretboard note naming activity. It's the only thing I've found that helps me learn what the notes on the fretboard are, other than practicing with my actual guitar. Functional ear trainer (app): I think this app was free too, and it's been my favourite for ear training. It doesn't teach you the interval names and it's pretty challenging, but I think it does improve your ear in general. I also find that it's pretty fun, some interval apps I've tried have a crappy flow (if you wanna learn intervals the "traditional" way, there are other apps I've tried, like Aural Wiz, and Tenuto also has a couple of different interval learning games, but I find them boring and difficult to use) In terms of chord theory etc. like the stuff in this video, I recommend Udemy. They're a website/app that offers online courses for cheap, because you don't get a certificate or anything at the end so it's all just for your own learning. I was skeptical but they're always having sales so I bought a music theory course for like $13 called "Music Theory Comprehensive Complete! (Levels 1, 2 and 3)" by a guy called Jason Allen, he has a PhD in all this stuff I believe. Honestly it's the best experience I've had learning theory ever. He explains all this chord stuff - I'm only up to level 2 and I've already learned about inversions. Level 1 was all about how to read music. He has courses all the way up to Level 9, I have no idea what he'll cover tbh, but by that point I think you'd have a pretty good grasp of things! The lectures within each course are only about 5-10 minutes long each and there are about 50 of them in each level, as well as worksheets to check your understanding. The courses can be expensive but they have sales constantly so you can just wait for one to come up and snag one for $13 like I did. Admittedly I haven't watched any in a while because I've been distracted with other things, but honestly it's been the best thing for me theory-wise. I realise I sound like an advertiser or something hahaha, I'm not! I just reckon it's worth looking into.
I've been playing guitar for 17 years and I still have a really hard time grasping theory I tried college courses but still couldn't grasp it. I'm glad you're easy going to understand

Lol
Finally someone who appreciates they’re own arts and expresses to the people who are willing to learn thank you.
Most humble dude in the band

Of course!!! :)
I'm having a surreal moment because I think I'm following, and not just nodding my head when I don't. I'm comprehending this. Whoah.
U are my new favorite player/person
I can understand two languages and played guitar 20 years and I have no idea what you're talking about miles! 😭. You're so good!

Thank you for this. I was about to go scouring the net for an explanation.
This is excellent. Thanks for the demo, Miles!
I like it.
That my inpiration to play a guitar😍❤
Wish I knew an easy way to learn music theory, I got a little lost.
Idontknowone1able take a lesson from Miles! He's a really good teacher
Incorporate theory into your practice regime
there is no such thing as an easy way to learn theory
Theres no easy way, but anyone that dives in is rewarded. Dont buy into shortcuts

Yayyyy E minor

Thank you! I do offer private lessons if you're ever interested, hit up my instagram!
I wish I could play as fast as you talk but it really was interesting I'll have to buy an application that slows it down
Yo, Who else is having trouble deciphering chord shapes watching a left handed guitarist as a right handed guitarist *Raises hand*
Me all day
what scale is on first seconds of video?
How tf did ultimate guitar get miles on here?
I wonder if he can slow down enough to play something easy like eruption
Lucas Mann disliked this

JJS yup
He actually added three backing tracks and disliked it four times.
