Getting familiar with DIssonant and Consonant Chords and Intervals for Beginner Guitar

[ThePoohat]

those who cant do, teach...

@ThePoohat Actually, I think it's more precise to say "Those who can't do, post dumb comments in order to soothe their bruised self esteem".

FIRST CHORD SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNING OF PURPLE HAZE. THE POWER CHORD/ DISSONANT CHORDS SOUNDS LIKE HOLD ON LOOSELY.

[Zombie1990]

HA! I HAVE been doing this right. Awesome. Good video.

[Frig21]

Helped a lot man!!! thank you!!

[Headbanger9000]

It's good to know this stuff if u wanna play black metal =)

[Pluss18]

Would have been much better if you played with a clean tone

[Guitar101Ramstein]

@Pluss18 Why not play it yourself with a clean tone? I am not being sarcastic, but it's pretty much a demonstration of a way to get used to intervals and something simple enough to play with one finger for any level. Really the only way to learn from this kind of instruction is to get a good grasp of the concept and then experiment and work with it on your own.

If users are having a problem with sound switch to 240 p instead of 360

Hold on loosely!

very useful video, and also, he sounds like woody from toy story 1 at parts, watched it yesterday with my fiance's nephew :P

Great tutorial. Intervals are so important to giving your solos/progressions some direction. I spent years learning to read Standard Notation but didn't really understand how important it was to visualize the distances between notes (and be able to SEE the difference between Major and minor). I initially, always associated "Scales" with Jazz and Metal players, Roots/Blues players tend to think in "Riffs". Awesome job, thanks!

[Guitar101Ramstein]

@gorehound1313 Thanks, interval training is also helpful when it comes to playing by ear, harmonizing, song writing, the list goes on. A good trick is to give the different intervals 'nick names' when you hear them in music you then can identify with them and know exactly what they are doing.

this is probably the only good instructive guitar video I've seen so far

[jinjabreadboi]

Thanks, this was actually quite helpful

[MMM88X]

This was quite helpful. Thanks.

A root ,flat 5 chord sounds allright if you listen to alot of stuff that uses the lydian mode.I.E.Satriani'sTime Machine,or Flying in a Blue Dream.

[Guitar101Ramstein]

Yeah all the dissonant intervals will sound great/melodic if they are used correctly in conjunction with other notes or chord progressions to resolve the dissonance. - That was pretty much the point of this video haha.

[anthonysjb]

is their a specific name for chords made from a note and he same note a half step up? or is it just considered dissonance?

like

b 13

g 16

[Guitar101Ramstein]

Not sure if I understood your question, did you mean a half bend up instead of half note? With the frets you specified on strings B and G, adding a half step bend will make two of the same notes on different strings, basically an I / First / Root interval. There probably is a common name for these, but I have to admit I don't know it.

[Zordid0]

dissonant chords are awesome I use them almost all the time.

[mikeythemuffinman]

Taking music appreciation in college,thank you for clearing up Consonant vs Dissonant chords. =]

[cosmo76]

same here

[Hardc0re420]

you man you good at this teaching u need to keep posting vids! best youtube teacher ive found THANKS!!!

P.S KeeP ShreddiN!!

[Guitar101Ramstein]

sory for some reason the first 10 seconds of audios is chopped off, but you arent missing much :)

[met1o]

Hmm. Do you happen to call the odd squealing noises in "Hardcore" music Dissonant chords? Like ok. If you listen to Tommy Dollars Likes My Band by Carpathian, They have these odd dissonant chords around the break down. If you could look it up and make a tutorial on that, you'd be a life saver.

[Guitar101Ramstein]

Listening to the song you mentioned, it could be a couple things with the "squealing noise" - Either "Pinch Harmonics" or playing chords while bending one string of the chord, which is utilizing micro tones but also causing dissonance. I am going to be working on videos again very soon, the main setback for me is the slow internet where I live, takes ages to upload and often fails half way through.

[buniqueco]

@met1o yeah its called a pinch harmonic, thats the kind of stuff i play. you just sort of brush your thumb or the string and band it and it makes it squeek like that.

[seedevil]

thanks this was very helpful. :)
