"Sean Daniel is an incredible man" - Abraham Lincoln, 1874
Actually I believe that quote is attributed to the 11th president, James K Polk.
Sean Daniel You are correct, just checking your knowledge ;)
Anything Lincoln might have said in 1874 would have been through a medium . . .
I knew Lincoln was smart, but that's just downright eerie
@@seandaniel23 Hi Sean how do u know what notes to drop out of a minor chord to make it a minor 11 chord ...why is their a flat 7th in it?
BTW, a bit if trivia, those chord fingerings can do double duty. An Am11 chord is an enharmonic equivalent to a D7sus4.
Right on! Thanks for sharing Tom.
Thank you very much, guitar Pewdiepie!
I'll take it :)
In a single video you've helped me properly voice a chord I've known about for years, write with it, and understand some uses for it. You've gained a subscriber in a single video good sir!
Happy to help my dude!
Excellent.Thank you
ive been playing for 9 years but your video is extremely helpful at any level! thank you for existing sean
So happy to help! and to exist :)
Thinking of it as two triads was a lightbulb moment for me. Thank you!
So great to hear Steve!
Brilliant little insight, with huge learning value… Another bit of jigsaw added to the brain!
This video is a keeper. Thanks
Nicely done Sean. The minor triad with it's corresponding 4th chord major triad on top gives the minor 11th arpeggio- great explanation. Don't think I'll ever forget that. Now I'll try that in some of my future songwriting. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much man!
You never cease to amaze your subscribers Mr. Sean Daniel sir. Like you suggested i've been working on ARPEGGIOS, and it's been adding a new color to my rhythm playing.
Please make a video with movable shapes for 13th Chords (major, minor & Dom) too.
I'm grateful to you for teaching me things that i never knew about
So great to hear! I need to do one on 13th chords soon!
Brilliant Shawn !Great Explanation I now look at Getting the notes of the Minor 11th by going down Two frets from any Minor root on the sixth String and Add the Major Triad Notes from that Root. Fantastic
Happy to help!
Great lesson, great teacher! Thank you.
1Thanks so much for reaching out, I'll keep it up
I have been watching you tangentially for years. Little did I know I was missing out on comedy training with a sprinkle of guitar 😂 seriously I love your intros.
One of my favorite progressions right now is a Bbmin11 (with the 7th), to a B13, then down to an Amaj7 with a flat four, then back to the Bbmin. Originally I was using F#min11 with some open strings in each chord and it reminded me of a Deftones song. Sounded good.
Very cool!
just watch you last video 11 chords really interesting...i like he you explain...really nice 🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸
Thanks so much!
Nice tip on stacking the triads.
Thanks so much man!
I love this chord.
You have great taste!
Hey Sean, you made my sunday morning here in zurich switzerland... the minor 11 arp/scales are exactly what I need to spice things up. Anytime youre in this part of the world, am keen to buy you a pint or meal to say thanks a bunch.
So cool to hear! That'd be awesome to make it out there someday!
great lesson Sean
I use that Dm11 chord as the mystery opening chord to the Beatles song A Hard Days Night. Works perfectly.
Always a good call.
Minor 11th hair style tone is cool!
Yeah I think so too!
Have you heard of this band called CHON? They use these voicings and wonderful chords all the time
nunolance23 chon yeahhh!! they use a ton of extended chords and arpeggios
Yes!!! Chon is awesome!
@@seandaniel23 Man I'm just catching on... heard about polyphia first a few months ago
thanks for the lesson
Happy to help!
Love your videos, Sean! I've been binge watching a ton of em! Could you do a riff deconstruction of "Answering Machine" by The Replacements?
Great suggestion!
Thanks
super!! thanks sean
No problem :)
I'm at my workplace watching this during lunch and I wish I had my guitar!
Rock it out when you get home my man!! Thanks for watching!
Separating the men from the boys!! 😂💪🏿😎Lovin'it!!
Hey Sean, I recently found that the guitar in standard tuning is perfectly tuned to a m11 chord voicing, however the sixth string should be a whole tone higher - E A D G B F# (1, 11, m7, m3, 5, 9). The sound is there and the fingering is so easy, plus it sounds pretty modern having this quartal structure. Some people might dislike it though.
Pretty crazy to think about. If they don't like it, they can stick to their childish minor 9 chords :)
@@seandaniel23 seeing as I don't like maj/min11 chords, I am offended lol
I know you're videos are good cause I end up playing along 3 or 4 times longer than the actual video length, busy trying to absorb as much as possible and hoping like hell some of it sticks.
Great lesson!!!! One tiny tiny thing...just because the lesson itself is perfect..it would be really cool if you mention one or two artists that use it so as to hear it in songs...for example i think herbie hancock uses this chord a lot.
Great idea! I'll try and start working that in!
Paul gilbert 2 become 1
Sean, please, make a video about quartal harmony on guitar. I wanna get those So What chords going.
I'm on it!
Dude! That is the Best explanation I've ever seen! thanks!
wheres that patreon link?
Thanks! www.patreon.com/seandaniel
@@seandaniel23 Awesome!
Hey Sean, thank you so much for all the lessons on chords. I would like to ask you something though. Why are some chords put together from the major scale, and other from the minor scale, when they are both minor chords? For instance, a minor 9th uses the 9th interval from the major scale, yet a minor 7th uses the minor scale. With this in mind, if a minor 9th chord works best with the 2nd and 6th degree of the major scale, where does it work best while playing a minor groove? I can´t seem to grasp all of the uses for the chords you teach. thank you!
Thank you Sean, please keep teaching?
Happy to help! I'll never stop!
You breaking it down to two triads is ingenious
Thanks so much! It's a great way to always remember it in context.
Question… with two guitarists, what if one played an Am chord while the other played a G chord?
What scales would your recommend learning in order? Major, minor, minor pentatonic, major pentatonic?
Good stuff! Thx…!
“#research”…ha..!
Nice.
Thank you for watching!
If you change progression to Dm11 G C Am11 it works nicely for dancing in the moonlight :)
Save me a lot of mental gymnastics: are the notes in the m11 always going to be those of the named minor chord plus the -2 steps major chord? For instance, if Am11 is Am + Gmaj, would Em11 be Em + Dmaj notes?
Yup! Exactly!
Thanks.
Thanks for watching Lee!
Great video as always, thanks. Just wondering: Why is it not "enough" to add the 11th to the minor triad, why would you also add the b7 and the 9? Didn't get that part. Thanks!
Yeah that's just the way chord building works as far as continuing to add notes. So an actually minor11 does need that 7 and 9, but honestly on guitar, you can 'add' the 11 for a 'minor add 11' chord and it's fine. I think if you see it done on a piano it might make a little more sense.
What kind of chord would you get if you built an 11 chord on the iii of a key? For example in the key of C major if we were to build an 11 chord using E as the root we'd end up with a D minor triad stacked on top of an E minor triad.
You know I've never come across that one, Emin11b9 I guess?
Great lesson where almost (ha!) everything you say makes perfect sense. Still one of those lessons where the "men" move forward and I stay behind with the boys, but that's okay, I'll have a belated bar mitzvah.
I hope I'm invited!
John Mayer fans are happy with this video.
Haha, right?
Minor 11 chords are used a lot by Aaron Marshall of Intervals. I think he actually uses a variation with a sus 2. Not sure how you do that.
Okey thanks man! but how do I know then which notes to choose when building a m11 chord? In your video you chose the Root note and then every other note. (G#)-(B)-D#-(F#)A#(C#) is this how you always build a m11 chord by taking the root and then every other note?
+Oskar Lindgren Yup! That's one of 2 ways to build that particular chord. But you have to take the notes from the G# MINOR scale to do the every other note formula. The other way is taking the notes from the G# MAJOR scale and applying the (1 b3 5 b7 9 11) chord spelling. They both will give you the same chord.
Sean is the epitome of everything masculine.
Haha, I try. I try.
Aman Aggarwal Especially when he does his dippity do commercials. Lol
Hey Sean, I started learning fingerstyle, and now I'm trying to start using a pick. Do you have any tips on that?
Oh that's a good one. I'll put that on the QA Wednesday.
RIP dinosaur bracelets 2017-2017..
I miss it everyday.
make a lesson which talks everything about keys and how they help if possible!
I'll put it on the list!
Sean: “Everybody knows that all the really cool stuff comes in groups of eleven.”
Me: Happens to see the number of dislikes on this video.. and it’s eleven..
Lmao
Thank you for your video. I understand everything in your video scale whise but not when you build the Chord. You use 1-b3-5-b7-9 to find the notes to use for the chord but when you then make a chord out of the notes, how do you know which notes to choose out of the notes you found from your formula: ACEGBD? To make triad chords you said to take every other note?
So the chord spelling (1 b3 5 b7 9 11) applies to making a chord from the major scale. So the ACEGBD would come if you applied that spelling to the A MAJOR scale, but since it's a chord that exists in the key of C, I think it's easier to do the every other note in the key of C starting on an A note as the root. 2 different way to get to the same result. Hope that made sense.
Sorry for being stupid maby i have to watch your previous videos to understand this but this is what i see if i try this myself. If I try lets say G# with the formula (1 b3 5 b7 9 11) then i get the notes G#-B-D#-F#-A#-C# correct? Then if i would want to make a chord out of it i would take every other note (G#)-B-(D#)-F#-(A#)-C#?
You're close! The notes you applied to the chord spelling/formula are right on, so those notes would give you a minor 11 chord. The 'every other note' thing comes in when you're building a chord from an entire scale. Like if you wanted to make a C major 7 chord for example you'd take all the notes of C major and skip every other til you get to 7. So - (C) - d - (E) - f - (G) - a - (B). Hope that helps! If you still have questions make a new comment though because I don't get notified if it's just a reply so I might not see it. Keep rocking!
Okey thanks man! but how do I know then which notes to choose when building a m11 chord? In your video you chose the Root note and then every other note. (G#)-(B)-D#-(F#)A#(C#) is this how you always build a m11 chord by taking the root and then every other note?

just grab your acoustic or electric and play along.

I think a G minor 11 is used in the song midnight rider by the Allman brothers, if I'm stating the chord voicing correctly .It sounds right . Now I've been having some female problems as of late, and it's been causing me to throw some 13th chords into my playing . It just doesn't seem appropriate. Back in the early 90's females always took their course in my song writing . With such titles as "I ran over Molly with my pick up truck", "Going shot gun riding" and when I wrote "Burn baby burn" I certainly wasn't trying to copy "Disco inferno" . Yes it's another somebody did somebody wrong song . Well, Maybe I can pass her on to a drummer ',:^(
Haha, what's wrong with Disco Inferno?!
Nothing, I love Disco Inferno .It's just that my song was about burning witches :)
First? You're the man Sean
Winner!
In that first demo of voicing the Am 11, what's your thumb doing hanging over the E string? It looks like it's subverting the "a" of the fifth fret on that string.
It might look that way, but generally I never use my thumb to fret any notes, usually it's just positioned in whatever way allows my wrist to get my fingers in the most ergonomic spot.
If I played all strings open, wouldnt that be a voicing of the e minor11 chord as well?
Yeah you could definitely see it that way.
hosemarino I THOUGHT THE THINNIST STRING STRING WAS CALLED TH 1ST STRING ? THAT'S WHAT i WAS TAUGHT ANYWAY AND I'M CLASSICLY TRAINED.
We're revolutionizing it!
Its been a hard days night when i went walking on the moon.
Why not the 3rd/Phrygian?
hi Sean plz dnt take this wrong but when I hear somne say 'five A'.....for me being classicly trained it's confusing cos I'm thinkig where;s the A this is a D note ! yes I know youre talking about the A string but in classical terminology and jazz this is the fifth string . I think it;s better to giv it a number rather than a letter cos the 5th string is only A when it;s open ! when it;s fretted it becomes something else............that said I learnt some useful chord shapes which I've been playing but gave them other names like the minor 11th sounds like the opening chord on the Beatles 'hard days night' but IT CAN BE CALLED A sus 4 ! [5 in root] ! happens a lot with chords .
Yeah I realize that's confusing for sure. It's just always been the way I thought of it :) Thanks for watching!
why is this the first time I'm being told about this minor scale
I would like to fix your explanation please.
When you want to count notes in A minor- you still have to count as a major. for example, Am6 is not A C E F, but A C E F#
dear sir make a vedio on game of throne we are waiting
Stay tuned :)
Can't forget KFC's herbs and spices, the tastiest 11 there is
sorry about spelling the "he" is "how"...😂😂😂
No worries Paolo!
i use this chord almost everytime...but i dint know they were sooo brilliant as said...for me always have been an simple chord with beautiful voice...sorry for bad english.
Your english is great! Thank you for watching!
1:22 The Zephyr Song. can't unhear it
Not a terrible song to not unhear.
Im confused why you make this chord from the minor scale . I thought all the triads were taken from the major scale . Or major chords from major scale and minor chords from minor scale ?
Nice research Sean (;
Oh hey Andrea, did you watch the whole video and learn something to add to your playing?
Of course, just like always!
Oh good, I'll make sure we have an in depth conversation about it soon.
my fav m11 025232
Love it.
For A-Minor, you are superimposing a G-Major Triad on top or a (as in "any") minor triad with a (as in "any" again) major triad rooted a Whole Step down on top.
Not sure I understand your comment.
@@seandaniel23 it's mostly redundant with your presentation.
arpeggio will do on 11th
The only way to go!
RIP Chuck Berry as he started it all
Man I know! What a legend!
Aaaarrrrgh. Watched this a few minutes after you posted it...but didn't want to be the first to post a comment. I don't want to be the negative nelly, so to speak, and figured I'd give you the chance to bury this comment. Come on man, 11? Blech. The first book I authored, "The New Lane", was thematically related to "11" and the trauma that induced. I won't elaborate.
You and Ian post great vids though. They help a lot. Just stay away from the "11", man!
Robert Codey wtf are you talking about
I went to technical school at the World Trade Center
Hit me hard. Began studying music theory a couple of years ago. Wrote a song that relates to the whole thing..."American Road"
Send me a link!
Ocean's Eleven come on Sean
I realize that now. Missed opportunity.
sir I'm an Indian I like your lesson so you very good teacher
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
also Ocean's 11 ;)
Can't believe I missed that one!
Never knew pewdiepie teaches guitar
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president...correct? I back you up Sean im Italian but I know American history.
You know it Paolo! And a fine president he was!
I thought you needed six fingers like Hound Dog Taylor to play 11th's. RIP Chuck Berry. As John Lennon said, if they wouldn't have called it Rock and Roll they would have called it Chuck Berry.
Man I just heard! Such a bummer!
Rest In Peace Chuck... You will always Rock On!
Does Neil Patrick Harris know your impersonating him on youtube?
Why did the musician get arrested for playing an Am11?
Because he put a D in A minor
in the KFC. Am I the only one this dumb?xD
so you say it's a 6 notes chord, then you proceed to play 4 notes chord and don't explain it?
He has only added the 11th note to the minor Triad just because he was playing guitar..
For the full chord it should be played with 7th and 9th.
But you can sound the 11th just by adding 11th note..

Nope. I'm too young of of a guitarist!
You can do it!
players on a football team...
Can't believe I missed that one, probably cause I'm a Bears fan and they seem to play like they've only got 9
Hard to follow as you keep saying A after everything.
