This is an incredibly articulated video. I think I knew about all of these tricks, but you've explained them in a way that kept me interested throughout. Thank you
“Your skin makes me cry” from Radiohead’s “Creep” = the sound of the subdominant minor
That line is sung over a major chord tho.. the subdominant part is right after.
@@davidfaustino4476 The chord is played on the same beat he sings “cry”
@@davidfaustino4476 yeah he's correct. It changes from a major to a minor in the same chord there.
The classic old-timey school dance song
Also "where is my mind" from the Pixies or numerous Beatles songs
Great stuff -- useful tips, explained clearly, done succinctly. Too bad I don't play guitar.
😂😂
Yet
Thanks for making me laugh bro 💀
Why not ?
@@neenjaaa -- my fingers are stiff and can't make chord shapes without pain. getting old sucks.
I have always been fascinated by that Diminished chord repeat after every 3rd fret....
If you're improvising and see a dominant seven chord, you can throw in a diminished arpeggio a half step up (see G7, play Ab dim). That way, you get b2, 3, 5, b7, or outlining a 7b9 chord if other musicians are playing. Burn through the arpeggios every third fret as a lightning fast way to transition up the neck.

Playing with rhythm reminds me a lot of what guitarists do when backing Irish tunes. Most of it harmonically is pretty simple but changing on the and of Beats 1 or 4 is super common to add spice to the progression.
i feel like this is where sammy g shines, just some down to earth music theory
Man, when I discovered borrowing chords from parallel scales/modes it blew my mind. I often play a V degree major chord when jamming in a minor key.
yeah, thats a good one, makes the tension that the V has even sweeter
Great video - the first four techniques were all familiar to me as ways to write great chord progressions, but the tritone substitution was explained better here than I've seen elsewhere, and has unlocked some new ideas for me 🙂
This is such a good video, I love how clearly you explained the different concepts and how the video presents kind of a summary containing all of them when otherwise you'd need to piece that knowledge together from all sorts of different sources. Very well done.
As someone who plays a lot of Indie/Alternative rock I play that minor subdominant chord a LOT
oh god ur discord pfp is throwing me off LOL
@@sploomfussy that's what it's there for 😎
Always love seeing your new vids! Keep up the hard work Samurai! 😁
Sammy g I know these might not get the most views but this is the most informative and digestible lessons I have ever seen on UA-cam. Please don’t stop making this content and please keep the sale on the rudiments lesson so I have time to save up for it. Thank you
Love your explanations! Really well paced and perfect amount of examples.
That was so succinct and so helpful. You are a truly outstanding teacher!
Great video! Just one small remark...the Cdim chord actually has a Bbb, which is the diminished 7th of the chord. Yes, it's enharmonic to A meaning different names for the "same note" but the function differs with different names :) the A would be a major 6th.
Technically (in terms of “proper” theory) Cdim would be [ C - Eb - Gb - *Bbb* ] instead of [ C - Eb - Gb - A ] (which would technically really be an inversion of Adim7)
It’s important only because it keeps it consistent in how you conceptualize & approach *any* dim chord (and dim7) starting on *any* note
I'm sure he knows but this is a fairly beginner friendly video and he doesnt want to confuse people.
"Technically" here also means "Getting deeper into the theory than SG said he would"... But I was also thinking during that section - doesn't that make all of those dim chords inversions of the same chord?
@@JediMobius You’ve got it! There are only 3 distinct diminished 7th chords; everything else is an inversion of one of those three.
@@SalimSivaad music theory gets wild sometimes.
i’ve been binging your videos for days! you have such great tips that have genuinely improved my playing. thank you for all this awesome info and i will definitely be buying your course when i can afford it! 😁
What a great video Sammi I appreciate your guitar wisdom you are definitely up there with tomo
That was awesome! Thanks...been following from a distance; that earned a sub!
That was exactly the level of theory I wanted on this. Sure, I don't play guitar, but my little casios don't mind ;-)
Great video. Easy to follow when you have a basic knowledge of music theory. Definetly something I can and will use. Thank you.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this. Thanks for being awesome
So well articulated. Thank you.
This is so well distilled, thank you!
Great lesson! Thanks.
Thanks for the tips!
great video all around! thanks
Brilliant stuff!
Nice tips - thankyou!
really wish i would have taken the time to learn all of this stuff, and spent more time studying scales etc when i was in college. ive been playing guitar for like 18 years off and on, but never took the time to actually practice and study theory. i can make some cool stuff, but i cannot just easily improvise with a song or anything like i always wished i could. i have a lot of respect for people that can
This is an excellent lesson so bullshit all easy to understand and straight to the point. Outstanding!
This is a great video! Thx so much wise Sensei!
Truly, thank you so much for this. I've watched other videos that failed to explain the secondary dominant concept or tritone substitution the way you did. And having jazz musician buddies tell me "you already know it, it's all fives to ones man!" left me with too many questions on how to actually use the tricks, which you showed in a way that's digestible for the self-taught players. You're awesome Sammy G! 🤙
Well played! Cool informations.
Good ol' Sammy G setting the bar higher for content creators, cheers!
Very cool...thanks!
i needed this
Wow that last trick was mind blowing! Like, I knew the others but stuck around cause the explanation was great but that last one had my jaw to the floor 😲
VERY well done Sensei!
Great stuff 😍
Great video!
Appreciate this 🙏
Don't know how much it will help overall, but it's going to be interesting to experiment with. In other words Fun!
These aren’t even “tricks”. These are THE theory concepts used in complex music.
Songs use every tip:
1st tip you can play dont look back in anger by oasis
2nd tip you can play nobody knows you when youre down. Also check out paul david's vid on it
3rd tip not sure tbh
4th paul simon's 50 ways to leave your lover. Also check out paul david's vid
5th. Jazz. Just jazz
50 ways to leave your lover was just Paul Simon
@@nuttyboy007 ah yes it is I am sorry. It's just they always performed as a duo i forgot😅😅
Where does the secondary dominant appear in Hey Joe? Isn’t it all major triads?
well...You could play E Harmonic min or G Harmonic MAJOR to get C min
E harmonic min b2..You could play F lyd #6
so you could stack it F 3, 5, 7 or F 3, 5, #6
You and I going to live forever..or FREEBIRD..or Babe I love your way
To play LONGER...that would be the Bb Maj chord
To play Just between you and me by April Wine...that would be Eb Maj
C min/Emaj7....KEEP it SIMPLE..like that
even thou it goes....Eb maj D Maj B min A min ( while in G MAJOR)
It;s easier if I explain it in C MAJOR...because KEYS are just PITCH
C Maj7 F min G7 into C Major
You'll hear the F min chord in Best of my love by the EAGLE...
during the bridge.
Just pretend you shifted to F min
Just make a simple F min barr chord at the 1st fret...
Then shuffle your finger a little to make Db Maj7 dyad..( Dmaj7)
You can alter N6 chords into ANY type of chords
The 5 BLACK NOTES..while in C MAJOR
b2........b3........b5.........b6..........b7
Db.......Eb........Gb........Ab..........Bb
In you pretend to play F harmonic min
The Bb and Db...are 4, b6...from F
Or you can MEMORIZE.....2, 4, b6, 7 chord degree are all possible Full dim
C Maj F min Bb dim Db dim/A D min G7 into C MAJOR...if you want
or
A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 Ab maj, min or dim G7 into C MAJOR
A min Bb7 into Eb min Gb MAJ G7 into C MAJOR
A min Bb dim C dim/G# C# min D Maj7 B min E7 into A min
or.........................................C# min D dim E7
or.........................................C# min D dim E dim F min Db maj7 G7 into C
A min D dim/Bb...Edim/C F min Gb7 into B min E7 into A min
A min Bb7 C7 F min Db Maj7 Gb min B dim D dim E7 into A
DONT WORRY if SITE READERs CANT KEEP UP and all that Jazz
If you use Harmonic min b5 and Melodic min b5 = FULL dim W/H
................Dorian b2 , #4.......and Lyd b2, b7 = FULL dim H/W
You CAN STACK ..maj. min. dominant chords every b3 too.
They're SYMMETRICAL ..right ?
@@nickchambers3935
It is, you're right: C (1 bar) G (1 bar) D (1 bar) A (1 bar) E (4 bars). No dominant 7ths necessary.
Amazing video! Who knew theory could be explained in an interesting way!
This might just be one of the best music theory videos out there right now. Cheers man
That hit right at the top of my theory understanding level. Just a little difficult; I'll have to watch again. Perfect for me.
Every single one of these was great!
Yay!! Diminished 7ths! Good stuff!
Very informartive and clear as always, sensei! You should remake your older videos on lessons too!
Cool beard! And guitar playing!
This is great!
Samurai guitarist, i dont know much about theory, but your videos constantly inspire me when playing guitar, so thank you for your content!
Thank you man
...That was outstanding 😄🙌
Thank you Sensei!!!!!!
I love the tone that produce this guitar
There's an augmented climb as well, but you move the shape up and down in four-fret intervals
Damn... Title and thumbnail weren't even clickbait-- this video is actually filled with AMAZING Music Theory Tricks (Made Easy)
Awesome!
awesome tips thanks!!!! SAMURAI
I learned this stuff years ago in high school music theory. I had an excellent teacher. But I wasn’t an excellent student. The tritone substitution and the dominant seven lead-in chord-Damn, that was a nice brush-up on the topic. Thank you!
▲ sub-dominant minor a.k.a. the sophisticated nofx trick
Nice sounding Gibson indeed
Got good ears for a great crafted guitar.
Love seeing nods to let it be and something
thank you sammy g!
10:00 technically spelled Bbb 😁😁 love the video btw!
Every time someone spells a doubly-diminished seventh as a major sixth a jazz musician dies inside
a great modern example of the first two tips combined is the second half of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever”. most of it is I - III7 - vi - IV - iv. you have the minor plagal cadence from tip 1 and the III7 - vi from tip 2!
Thank you for at least touching on Dim chords. So few channels want to discuss them and I never know how to use them🙂
Damn that was good. So much tension released in one video
the first demonstration of the sub-dominant minor chord reminds me so much of 'The End.' by My Chemical Romance... I love it!
Love tritone substitution
Yet another explanation of secondary dominants but this one is what I thought they where 30 years ago - three dacedes wasted!
Sec Dom. really are the 'off side rule' of music as none seems to be able to explain them, until now!
Nice sounding Gibson Sensei.
Awesome
That maj4 to min4 back to the 1 is my favorite resolution. I'll throw it in for an ending in just about whatever
Awesome video _/m/ god bless you men
Dope.
Cool guitar.
In Holland we use the term Mol Dur and Dur Mol (originally German). Litterally means minor in major and major in minor.
Fun stuff to know :).
Sub-Dominant minor chord, an example that hispanics might recognize is the prechorus in Asereje - Las Ketchup.
I just ordered your school photo shirt after laughing at the photo for like 10 minutes. A+ merch illustrations btw
Love me some tritone subs.
In the key of C: G7 is the dominant V7 chord. And like you said, every chord in the key has a V7 that it’s related to; A7 goes to D-, B7 goes to E-, C7 goes to F (please make note that a C7 cord in the key of C is not the I chord!), D7 goes to G7, E7 goes to A- . And easy way to remember these V7 of chords is that they follow the same pattern as the target chord if resolution. In other words the distance between D- and E- is one whole step, and so music theory dictates that the V7 chords must do so also. So the A7 is followed by the 7th chord one whole step above which is B7. And so forth on and on. Listen to the Beatles song, things we said today, you will hear a really cool variation on the V7 resolution substituted by a downward chromatic passage using a sub chord.
Just what I was looking
9:24 Sounds like a start of a chase
Your guitar sounds fab
thx))
1:50 ... that sound ain't from my grandparents prome or Ritchie valance,
That's from that damn addicting game candy crush !!
Always love your video's! You're amazing! One remark, it is: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do (Sol, not So). 😃
🤔...According to Julie Andrews it isn't.
Unless she was singing.
'Sol, A needle pulling thread'🙃
But it's only 'The Sound of Music'😋
Oh yeah, just bought $50 of SammI G merch and half of it is gift. Love your sense of humor bro.
So down to use that sub dominant Minor chord
We have a song with a 5 bar progression, which is great fun with a new drummer who doesn't really know the song. :D
nice
Thats funny I have been using this one since the dawn of time. A friend had a song made around it and some of his brothers.
There are more like this:
Try a-minor classic fingering (open) and just move it up on the fretboard.There are three other spots where it works like a miracle chord. Dont barre it use just the open chord with the open strings ringing. E-Major works too like that.
That sub-dominant minor chord sounds like it belongs in the radiohead cover of creep.
every time I see tritone substitution explained by jazz guys I get jealous all over again. as a classical music student we have to learn all about the various augmented 6 chords first before we get to the German +6/secondary dominant pivot and it's just so much
This! This is my kind of video - thank you! Practical and easy to use techniques to make my ear wieners stand up!
0:40 *negative harmony had entered the chat*
I studied music in collage. I have been confused about how guitar players use the term theory. I see now when you say theory you are talking about what I term harmony. You use the term rudiments where I would say theory. This helps me understand better what guitarists are referencing. Thanks.
He did mention in the beginning of the video that he would be talking about chords and harmony in this video..
But yes, because of how we play (acoustically at least), harmony and chords are most of what we do.
