10:11 Summary
This lesson covers a concept that many would consider advanced. But I've tried to explain it as simply as possible.
Borrowed chords occur in music all the time, whether intentionally or not. In this lesson we discover where these chords are "borrowed" from, and what makes them work.
By understanding where these common "outside" chords come from, you'll know when to change scale for your solo.
But you'll also have some new ideas for writing your own chord progressions that are a little less predictable than those confined to the natural key.

I understand the theory, it's remembering it and putting it to creative use that's the problem.
@多田翔子 very true
it;s easier than you think ALL 12 NOTES WORK...You just have to WRITE your
own chord progression . Play the GUITAR..not the Piano.
THINK like a GUITAR PlaYer.lol ( KEYS are just PITCH),
But lets exployer All 12 notes in C MAJOR/Amin.
From C MAJOR/Amin.
b2 b3 b5 b6 b7 ( the 5 BLACK keys on the piano)
We're going to PURPOSELY play those 5 notes too.lmao
Im going PUSH DOWN from C MAJOR Towards C min
b6 = Harmonic MAJOR
b3 = Melodic min
b3, b6 = Harmonic min
b3, b6, b7 = Natural minor
b2, b3 = Melodic min b2
b2, b3, b6 = Harmonic min b2
b3, b5 = melodic min b5
b3, b5, b6 = Harmonic min b5
b3, #4 = melodic min #4
b3, #4, b6 = Harmonic min #4
#6 = Ion #6
b3, b6, b7 are just the SECOND arpeggion of the I, IV, V chord
C Maj F Maj7 G7
CMaj F MINOR G7
YOu can reverse the process PUSH UP from A min towards A MAJOR...
The POSSIBLE FULL diminished will overlap
in C Harmonic MAJOR and A harmonic min
AND C Harmonic min and A Harmonic MAJOR
D F Ab B
B D F G#
There..you can alter those chords.lmao
and these
AUG........C, E. Ab or E, G# B
A Harmonic min b2.....just insert the Bb Maj7........
to G min or D min
Bb7 to C min
Im still in A minor as the parent key...lmao
A min D min E min
A min Dmin E7 F (ly#2)
A min B min D7 E7 F# dim G# dim/aug
E7 F# min
Amin B7 E Maj F #dim G# ( phrygian b4)
B maj7 G# minor
A min Bbmaj C7 E dim F Major
Bb7 C7 F minor
Amin B min D7 E7 F#7
A b5
The Eb note????? it;s just b3 from C,. ( keep it simple.lmao)
or play Lydian #2, b7
1, 3, 5, b7
1,#2, 5
1 ,#2, #4 b7 or 1, #2, #4, 6
It'also over lap to F7 G7 into C melodic min
The Melodic min #4 is AKA Lydian b3
you can alter it to A dim
so you can play A dim to B dim into C melodic min
or A dim to G min/Bb MAJOR
D7 into G MAJOR or Gmin
Lets say you modualted down to G min...via the Bb note
You can playing play G min.....C min D7...
but continue to pUSH UP to E7 ( you can use that as your pivot)
into A min again....F dim G# dim into A min
or E maj or min F# dim G# into A min....
I show the Amin.......D7 E7 F#7...for a reason... ( it's the samething)
Amin D min E7 F#7 into B minor
B minor is still the II chord of A melodic minor...but you can use it to shift KEYS
Bb dim into B minor....as the (N6) as well.
or you apply classical music....after playing the B min chord ( A melodic min)
Just play the F Maj E min D min G7 into C Maj...again or whatever
or from C Maj to F Maj ..E min/E7 into A minor again
then play the B7 into the E minor chord...
Then play Bb Maj7. C Maj7 A minor.lmao
or lets say you play B7 into E MAJOR = C#min
G# into C# min...
You can apply the N6 C# Harmonic min b2 = D7 E7 into A minor ( again)
Just get use to playing
G7 into C MAJOR or C min
E7 into A min or A MAJOR
Then play Harmonic or melodic .....b2....then the b5
The #4 is pushing UP D# into E
I worte it all wack for a reason....so your brain might get it all WACKED.lmao
@@oneeyemonster3262 what the hell?and FOUR DAYS ago? what the hell. Thanks a lot for your information. I'm e-mailing it to me right away
@@guilhermebgirardi no problem....
You know you can play A min penta, D min penta, and E min penta
and still be with in all the notes of A natural minor....yes?
There's the DOMINANT pentatonic.....
It's just a minor with a Maj3...or Major penta with a b7.
But I play it over G7 ( it's just so I get use to using it over the G7)
So i can see it layer in with A Natural minor...
becuase I see the fretboard in the MAJOR scale ( in whatever key)
First and foremost....No matter what I do...from decades of playing
the fretboard....it's just easier for me to see it...throughout the fret
board. It's just me working the dominant penta into it.
Or play the C Major....LESS C and E note.
R....x.....2.....x...3................5............b7....x......R
from the 5th.
D b3 x 4 x 5 x 6 R ( dorian)
or you can do this
G Maj triad
B dim triad
D min triad
You can also do this using the A melodic minor
D7 dominant pentatonic Mix #4 ..aka lydian dominant)
E7 dominant penta Mix b6
AND play B minor pentatonic ( B dorian b2)
you'll still be within all the notes of A melodic minor.
if you play A melodic min or A lydian b3
it's F # aeo b5 or dorian b5
F# Harmonic min b5 or melodic min b2......yes??
In other words F# minor/A MAJOR
You could had play F dim ( lydian #2 or Lydian b3 into F# minor
If you play A Harmonic min b5 it's Lydian #2, b7 ( or Mix #2, #4)
If you play E Harmonic min b5...it's C mix #2, #4
as in C7.... ( notice the C7....when applying the N6 from A)
Then you might see this...A dorian #4, b2
or you could had play it from the D7 while in A melodic minor
D mix #4......to D min #2, #4...
F# harmonic min b5
( just another way to get to F# minor/A MAJOR).....
Anyways....He did lessons on dominant chords to different keys..
Just here are some dominant is modes...
you can use to play over I, IV, V...progression...ect
Using all Dominant chords...( for jamming over Blues or whatever)
I use the Dominant pentatonic as a stencil to over whatever dominant chords.. Simply modulate.

This is hands down the best lesson on using parallel scales I’ve ever seen!
all the examples sound like early radiohead
i love it
Avvv Qvvv or nirvana
some of them have what i would call "the cobain switch" where you think it's in a certain scale but then it finishes with a borrowed chord
Many are as Radiohead often simply switches to a minor where you expect a major. Of course, those talented folk do much else in their music, but your ear is correct.
Exactly my thoughts! :)
As soon as I heard the C -> Ab, I thought about Nirvana.
This is definitely 100% a goldmine for guitar players on UA-cam. I haven't seen a better clip on UA-cam that me a humble guitar player with limited music theory knowledge can understand so clearly. Absolutely brilliant content at its peak.
Pure gold . . . thank you and I love your tone when you play the lead lines over the chord changes.
One of the more helpful eye opening lessons that I've seen in a long time. Thx!!!
Brilliant. I am a visual person, and the diagrams are essential. Thank you so much.
Your lead playing is really great and perfectly conveys the feeling/vibe of the chord changes! Really enjoying your lessons.
This channel is a gold mine. Thank you.
I've been following your channel for a long time, and i enjoyed every bit of it. Keep on the good work, good sir. God bless you
One of the best learning channel on UA-cam
Learning makes so much easy here.
THANKS A TON.
Superb job explaining a reasonably advanced concept in very easy-to-follow terms.
one of the best chord progressions explanation i have been looking for. Thank you so much. Now i am gonna try a new song with some awesome chord progressions.
Thank you for that lesson! I've known about parallel major and minor for some time now but now I get it. Awesome lesson! Please don't stop!
My fav music teacher on UA-cam! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you. Beautifully explained, you blew my mind, finally pieces are fitting together.
OMG this is the best video I've ever seen on music theory (at least on borrowed chords), thank you so much, the sound examples are amazing!
I absolutely love your content. Even when you cover topics i`m already familiar with, It is just so much fun seeing it all presented visually in such a clear way and listening to your creative improvisations demonstrating the concepts.
Amazing job ! cheers
Excellent lesson
This video is brilliant as always Opened me to so many possibilities
Super clear and super useful as usual. Thank you friend for sharing with us your music knowledge!
one of my favorite youtube lessons ever
i immediately subbed because you teach with actually playing and it sounds nice . good balance between theory and playing
Wow man thank you! You blow my mind by simplifying things I thought were esoteric!
Awesome lesson Mike!!!! As usual best guitar lessons on the net......thanks for that!!
As usual mate, a fabulous lesson.. thank you so much.. always has me thinking and grinning for days...
Thanks, this was extremely helpful and smoothly explained. Very useful stuff!
Love this type of thing. I recognize the sounds. Mostly in older music. The minor 4 was really similar to the song at the end of the movie La Bamba if I'm remembering correctly. Been years since I've seen that, but my mind instantly went there.
Brilliant lesson... really well presented. So much information ! Very impressed.
This is the sole video that made me understand how to switch properly
Thank you!
Well produced, informing video, with clearly explained examples.
Brilliant lesson. Ive been playing 20 years and that came in really handy. 😊
As a Keyboardist, Thanks for the lesson about this...
This is one of the lessons I always come back to. Helped me to understand the use of borrowed chords from a minor scale, but also borrow from others modally such as C mixolydian and/or C Lydian. Superb lesson!
Easy to undestand even for beginners!
Thank you my friend!
I'm a trumpet player wondering to compose good jazzy vibes and this helps about the choosing of chords.
Cheeers!
You're the greatest channel on here.
Best video of borrowed chords ever. Thanks
Theory and visuals facilitates my understanding. Your clip is great. I’ll try your method in my playing now.
Your videos almost always teach me something, but this is one of the most useful videos yet. Knowing how to switch scales is probably my greatest weakness, so I usually resort to picking out good notes piecemeal. The idea that there's usually a ready-made solution is really eye-opening. Thanks.
What a great lesson with awesome examples
Great tutorial. I’ve seen about 7 or 8 videos on the topic of borrowed chords and found this one to be the best. I liked you included many examples. Most vids just show the IV/iv example and leave it at that. My primary instrument is guitar, so extra points for the riffing over the chords!
mate im a pianist, been looking for a video explaining this and no one has explained it better than you did,really really appreciated, rock on mate !
I have to say this video is incredible! Just subscribed. And the example choices really set it over the top with the diagrams!
Absolutely fantastic lesson
Hey man, I really cannot express how much I appreciate what you are doing. Short, simple, easy to follow, auditory and visual - great videos and instruction. Thank you.
Holy crap! This legitimate helps out alot by playing both rhythm and lead guitar!
Wow...thank you for this incredible lesson!
I really enjoyed the lead guitar melodies you used to flesh out your examples!
Fantastic lesson! Really well explained and immediately useable.
Mike...thanks a lot for ur lessons...all ur lessons r very effective and helped me immensely in becoming musician I wanted to be...thanks for ur service to humanity...
This is one of the best theory lesson I have ever seen! Thanks!!!
i love the practice examples. helps a lot
Amazing lesson, easy explanation to a big topic. So grateful you are doing that. Thank you for the support to all guitar players. Greetings from Guatemala.
La Guitarra Chapina I know these videos are seriously helpful and breaking so many walls down for me. The material on this channel is so professional
That was incredible clear. I never quite got the logic in some of these until now.
Loved this! So helpful!
Great lesson and presentation!
This lesson was very clearly explained. Awesome examples and visuals!
The way the scale chart animations are synchronized to the playing is really incredible.
Thanks to your lessons, I’m now inspired to be more creative, instead of just covering tracks...not only that , I’d reached a dead end , but now I have somewhere to go!!🤘🏻👍🤩
The best video about borrowed chord. Thanks mate!!!
I am from Iran, great teaching
This is an amazing resource. Thank you.
I fell in love with the guitar playing..... incredible!
The explanation is very clear and the visuals make it easy to understand the theory
The effort you put into your examples is very much appreciated
I appreciate your time.
I’ve had to make a special U-Toob folder for your wonderful work. In the past year I’ve focussed on two guitar sites. Yours mainly. The explanations are excellent and I look forward to your future mentoring.
Greatest music lessons are in this channel. Thanks a lot..
INCREDIBLE LESSON
Man I got tell you I love your channel.Creative and Fresh!!;I wanna lock my self in a room and just write!!!
precious lesson! Thanks for the bottom of my heart!!
Fretjam, greatest guitar theory channel in the universe.
Thank you
Love your lessons mate thanks
could found any video or text that explain very clear before watching your channel , thanks a lot men ! ... take my like
Dude......your videos are a next level genius while remaining accessible. Harmonically provocative info grounded in far-reaching pragmatism. I’m excited
"Harmonically provocative info grounded in far-reaching pragmatism" Ooh I like that! Thanks for the kind words my friend.
Great lesson!
Fantastic lesson Mike! Thanks a ton!
This is awesome. I've made handouts for basic chord progressions but now I'm thinking of making new handouts of chord progressions with borrowed chords. 😁
Incredible tutorial! Thank you so much! It's easy to see now the Beatles and Radiohead were masters of borrowed chords.
Great lesson, many thanks
Your lessons always help. Cheers
such a great video, its so straightforward!
One of the best fret jams yet. It’s nice to see it like this, because all day you can look up parallel minor and get the concept. Then, you have the job of searching for teachers that show examples in popular music. This just shows both, and even begins ear training. Of these examples, I can pick out a song instantly that I know that has one of these moves as it’s main hook. So the move, I remember by the song. Very good.
Yeah he can teach and play too.
Right, I was implying that...@@norakat
Very helpful and interesting. Keep it up!
What a great understandable lesson. Thanks.
Great lesson, as always!
this is what i've been looking for, for a while
Thanks very much. This was really helpful.
Thank you, I was always confused until now
The best video I could wish for on this subject
Awesome lesson brother.
