For someone like me who has completely pretty much suppressed every emotion because of childhood trauma this video is a complete pathway to freedom of unresolved emotions. For me this so much more than a guitar lesson. I found your channel about an hour ago and I'm going through all your videos one by one. You are an excellent teacher and even though I don't understand most of it....I can clearly tell if I spend the time and absorb the information given I will understand the content. Thank you so much for all of it🙏
I've given guitar lessons over the years, and I can tell this teacher is the real deal. I really enjoyed this way of building a solid understanding using this nice clean voicing. Thanks man!
Every time I am approaching a new concept, your videos are always the most concise, and immediately usable toward making music. Thank you so much for your effort, and empathy toward those of us less knowledgeable. It’s like you know exactly what tools we need.
In natural minor I tend to visualize everything on the fretboard in terms of the relative major. In that scheme, where the tonic is written as the vi and the bIII Is written as the I, the harmonic minor seventh chords look like this: IM7#5 iim7 III7 IVM7 V°7 vimM7 viim7b5
Another great lesson. So enlightening to know where these chords come from and how they are built. And, by the way, the evolution in the style of the videos is very nice. The graphics are much more clear and easy to follow now. And the split screen effect is very helpful as well. Keep up the good work.
These lessons are so clear and direct. I can apply all this theory to my song writing immediately. Just want to thank you for these valuable resources!
Jared, your enthusiasm for sharing your musical knowledge is contagious. I'm listening in my car and I can't wait to get home to my guitar to delve into the new things you are revealing about theory and applying it to the guitar. Thanks so much!
Hey Jared, I don't know how I will ever thank you! You are the best teacher ever. I have been playing the guitar for a while but my theory knowledge has been rusty since I started playing. (7 years now). I must say your series has really opened my eyes to a whole new world on guitar. The theory, which a lot of books makes complicated, you are the true solution! You make the whole process exciting and maaan! I truly don't know how I can pay you back for your channel. Big thanks!
Wow, this is so great to hear! I'm so glad that the videos are helping you out and filling in information. I totally agree that a lot of theory books make things more confusing and complicated than they could be and end up not helping much. Your comment means a lot and helps me know that I'm on the right track with wanting to help people learn this stuff in a way that works and is fun and interesting. Cheers! -Jared
I'm running out of good things to say. Thanks for producing this incredible content! So nice to have this 'missing' piece explained. I have often wondered whether a major 7 existed in a minor context, I didn't realize that Harmonic Minor was the answer.
Glad you found this one useful! Thanks for the comment. That minor-major7 chord also exists as the "i" chord of the melodic minor scale, which is next week's vid ;) so it could come from either one.
this info is hard to find on YT. years ago i sat down with pen and paper to construct the chords from the scale myself because I couldn't find it anywhere (especially the 7th chords). good content, thanks!
I have been looking for this video for years. I'd like to comment on the section where you were explaining why you were going fast and feeling slightly bad about it. There are very, very few courses on youtube ( that are any good) for intermediate players. I already had all the theory training to understand this without a blink or hesitation, but I couldn't find it after years of looking, someone to just walk through building the chords, with the screenshottable graphics that were really nicely made. The same thing happens with intermediate foreign language speakers, who have learned on the street, but can only find extreme beginners or extreme advanced lessons. I am very subscribed now and will go through all your lessons but really wanted to say thank you thank you.
Great lesson! the other parts of this series is also among the best out there on this topic. I will have to watch everything on this channel now :) Keep up the good work and eventually you'll probably be one of the big guitar channels on Ytube. Explaining music theory in a quick and concise manner is rare
Don t worry it takes time. I M slow and it took me a good 10 years because i wanted shortcuts there is no shortcuts . If I was listening in 1 year i ll be ready So I re invent the wheel 😂 Like he said you have to learn how to create a triad three notes. Basically let say you skip 1 note and play the next like C D bE F G bA B So C bE G that s what we call triad Than D F bA etc etc and just play note by note 1st on the same string just to get the taste of the sound After that go for his full lesson He is amaising Don t be hard on yourself Music is a lifetime process Cheers mate!!!!!
It’s okay, harmonic minor is a bit of an advanced concept. You can begin to understand it only after knowing the chords of the major scale which isn’t as difficult as it sounds :) Basically a set of notes like CDEFGABC (c major scale) allow you to make chords by taking note, skipping a note, taking a note, skipping a note. (The first, the third, and the fifth) When you do that for all of them it creates your chords for C major. But for your purposes, I would just try to memorize the major scale sequence of 1major, 2minor, 3minor, 4major, 5major, 6minor, 7diminished Once you know that you can learn about the 3 minors and their purposes. Because as you’ll learn, altering one note in the scale will change the set of chords and their polarity in a progression
Jared do you have the basic bar chords in major and the 3 minors, with the roots on the 6th and 5th strings, tabbed out like this? What is the interval distances, how far apart should we place these chords going up the neck?
What about harmonizing the chords in major and natural minor too? And what about with roots on the 6th string and 4th string? Why do you only have them with roots on the 5th string?
I think that my chord theory playlist would be a great series of videos to go through for this goal. As well as my songwriting playlist and song learning playlist. Some of the videos overlap but youtube will show you which one's you've watched already. • Chord theory series playlist: czcams.com/play/PLho65cYn4nF1FXo8IWbKUb9_k0pMhgbtr.html • Songwriting playlist: czcams.com/play/PLho65cYn4nF0oHnu1_L8OAaXcfBcr-WzP.html • Song learning playlist: czcams.com/play/PLho65cYn4nF2MopvfHRh90eigfR69m4j7.html Hope that helps! -Jared
@@soundguitar Can you show us how to play major and minors with bar chords with roots on 6th string? I can not find that anywhere, Can not find out how to play the vii chord, that would be diminished or minor 7 flat 5 with root on 6th string.. can not find it anywhere!
Good question. In this video there are a bunch of examples becuase the V chord in harmonic minor is used all the time: czcams.com/video/m3xc4O6785E/video.html.
If all your strings are tuned a whole step down you can just play it like normal and everything you play will technically be a whole step down but you can still think of it in standard tuning if that's what you're used to. If you play other people though or are using chord symbols to read off of then you need to transpose what you're playing thinking a whole step up. Do if the chord symbol says C then you need to play a D shape to play a C chord, but thinking that way only matters if you're needing to have the correct labels. Playing on your own you can just play whatever as a normal guitar. Does that answer the question? Let me know if not. Thanks! -Jared
Which videos do you got that show the notes in the chords and scales so we know them fast? Which videos do you got that tie it all together real well, so it flows as music? Right now it is like pieces that go together slowly, but I am not able to just quickly use it instantly and compose and play all this stuff smooth.
Hi Michael. Thanks for asking. I'm happy to direct you to specific videos that might help with your specific goals, but I'm not totally sure on what you're looking for. Are you wanting to use the information for improvising? composing? song learning? or just theory in general? I can help you with some video recommendations if you give me a few more details about your goals. Thanks!! -Jared
They're used briefly all the time but not strictly. Any song that's minor with the V chord as major is borrowing it from harmonic minor. Songs that have diminished 7 also are often borrowing it from Harmonic minor. The others are more rare.
Ah good question!! That's totally just a mistake in the diagrams. The Xs shouldn't be on those strings for the 7th chords. I didn't even realize that was messed up, thanks for pointing it out!! -Jared
that was basically playing down the A Harmonic Minor scale starting on the 5th scale degree (with a quick slur up to b6 and back first), then landing on the 7 (G#) on the 6th string and making a diminished chord off of that note (which is the 7th chord of the scale just like I teach in the lesson), then resolving to A minor. hope that helps! :) -Jared
Can you show s how to play these chords with roots on the 6TH STRING? Why do you only show it with root on 5th string? Bar chords harmonizing in major and minor, root on 6th string. I can not find that anywhere on youtube!!
That is the re-harmonisation of harmonic minor scale ,,1=minor,,2=dim..b3=aug...4=minor,,5=dominant,,,b6=major,,,7=dim...in every modes there are chords color which are the added notes of the mode...
@@soundguitar I mean that statement as a term of endearment! I've learned priceless information from your lessons Jared! Thanks for all the time you put into making these lessons!

If you take away the root note you can play the 2 remaining notes it makes it a lot easier to run the neck. Just two positions, major-minor format.
So run the scale in arpeggios but skip each root note? I'm gonna try that!
I like that idea, Robert! Thanks for sharing :)
Amazing tutorials, learnt more about guitar harmony in the last couple of days than I have in the last 10 years. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Michael. I sent you these a while ago via email. Did you get them?
What about harmonizing the chords in major and natural minor too? And what about with roots on the 6th string and 4th string? Why do you only have them with roots on the 5th string?
Working with triads, you can move these anywhere, top set, middle set, bottom set
@@scrapkingfilms I was mentioning the basic bar chords.
