    Justin, thank you so much for your willingness to teach others who are nowhere near as advanced As You Are, you are truly a blessing to those of us who are mediocre but wish to improve. Peace to you and yours brother

      Thanks for the hint! That might just have convinced me. Thanks for all the helpful lessons! They're an excellent complement to my 1-on-1 guitar lessons. :) Funny coincidence: last week my teacher showed me how the D-chord changes subtly on a song and I had just seen your video about the D-chord variations! :D

    Best advice for all song writing: "Just try something... if it doesn't sound good, don't do it again." :)

      I get what you are saying, but sometimes bad is good in music.

    • @twstdelf
      @twstdelf 6 років тому +3

      That's kind of the point tho, if it sounds good to you, for the purposes you're aiming for, it is right for the song. You'll hear very different melodic lines in jazz than in pop - but they're both 'good' for their intended purpose.

      @jumemowery9434 6 років тому

      @@twstdelf my point is that so often the same notes can sound awful in one context but amazing in another musical context. So when I play something that sounds bad I don't just chuck it out and never play it again. I kind of put it on the back burner and pull it out from time to time in new contexts.

    • @twstdelf
      @twstdelf 6 років тому

      Agreed, the context is the song. If it's right for that song, it's right. I didn't mean don't do it again ever - just don't use it in that song.

    This is a very cool series. I've messed around with a lot of the variations but it's nice to have them collected like this and I'd imagine it's very useful to beginners.

    The C7, 7th chords in general, are good for leading into the next chord. For instance, in the key of C, while playing the C chord, add the 7th just before changing to the F (the IV chord) Or while playing the G (the V chord) change to G7 just before returning to the C (Root or I chord). I should say it works going from the I to the IV and from the V to the I. It doesn't really sound good between the IV and V or the IV and I. Know what I mean?

      Sus4 chord is where you raise the 3rd in the chord by 1 fret (a semitone) -- the notes in an ordinary C chord are C, E, G ( 1st, 3rd, 5th ), so you make the E an F -- F is the 4th note in the C (major) scale.

      Trying to rationalize.
      So you're saying the note C has it's own scale. Or maybe just continuing abcdefg(repeat) but starting from C and calling it C scale.
      And the C chord contains CEG, F comes after E... CFG.
      Idunno maybe I just don't get it
