  • Great! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. I am in the midst of learning all these chords by ear up to 9ths for my uni exam next week. It has helped me to identify a word that each chord reminds me of, for instance Maj 7 sounds pretty to me, and min 7 contemplative, dom 7 sounds twangy. Do you agree with these descriptions? I would like to hear some of yours? Also is there a part 2. Cheers!

  • @LaSolarGuitar Thanks! Glad it has helped you and good luck with your exams. Well, it's an interesting point you raise about the characteristics of chords. Traditionally a major 7th would be painful, but now it is used a lot in love songs - which probably says something about us as modern people. Inbox me and I'll go a bit more into it, there's not enough space here!

  • just wonder where PART 2 of this video is??

  • @RoathRipper You know that's a good point. Let me do that!

  • I disagree, just about anyone can develop good relative pitch with hard work.

  • Hi Logos! I have some questions about ear training. I am very confused about the key signatures bit. You say it will makes ear training a lot easier but If I am not reading from music how will knowing the key signatures help me? And how am I supposed to identify what key a song is in just by listening to it? I find music theory a rather intimidating subject so bare with me. Thanks.. btw love your covers

  • @infernalphast9 thanks - great question. Check your inbox! Thanks

  • @chrlmack Hey brew...

    He was going through the different QUALITIES of the chords in a key signature (C major was the Example)...

    He didn't mean Bb 5. He meant B natural (minor with a flattened 5th)... It's a 1/2 diminished chord... and the 7th chord of the C major scale...

    Just thought I'd point that out....

    All tha love man,

    Peace

  • thanks

  • a pop/rock singer who uses lots of chords and interesting progressions is Gino Vannelli.( check out any of his Youtubes ) If you can get past his occasional 70's flamboyance-thing, and listen to the chords he plays; you get a wonderful example how he uses them to finely texture his music--and how each one of his songs shows a unique utilization of chords.

  • in C major the 7th is B Natural not B flat remember te doh

  • The Best!! thanks!
