      @michaelsullivan6127 Před 6 lety +4

      If one plays in key of G, 6m is Em, not Am, as you played around the 5:30 mark. You definitely play an Am, C, G, D progression. That would be a 2m, 4, 1, 5 progression, which also works well.

    • @michaelsullivan6127
      @michaelsullivan6127 Před 6 lety +2

      You repeat a 1, 2m, 4, 5 progression at 6:14 or so.
      I do enjoy your videos, Eric, but you might want to take a look at those two spots.

    The chord progressions are:
    1-5-6m-4
    1-4-5
    6m-4-1-5
    1-4-5-6m
    1-6m-4-5

      vi-IV-I-V

    • @johntraylor1522
      @johntraylor1522 Před 5 lety +9

      OK, i just watched this video and on the #4 progression he SAID out loud - 1,4,5,6m.
      but when he played in and spoke it out loud he played and said: 1,4,6m, 5. And it SOUNDED good. So, which is it?

    • @Burvedys
      @Burvedys Před 5 lety +1

      First was in order and the second one sounds better for you so use the one you like. :)

    Thank you!

  • @WarimUrlaub666
    @WarimUrlaub666 Před 5 lety +30

    Not spending too much time looking through all the comments, but Am is the minor second of G.
    You played Am C G D which is also quite popular but I think you meant Em C G D which is imo the most popular chord progression starting on a minor chord.

  • @nathanbotha1199
    @nathanbotha1199 Před 5 lety +2

    Thanks Erich! Always super helpful! Lessons like these are so useful - where learning one thing (chord progession) is really learning many things (multiple songs using the same progression/s). Also really enjoyed your lesson about the minimalistic blues soloing - again, doing your thing of stripping a topic/concept down and focussing on the essentials.

    Great video, helped me through a little rut I've been in! Only complaint is on number is on progression 2 you said it was the iv - IV - I - V in G but played a ii - IV - V - I instead, still a lovely chord progression!

  • @JAHLife
    @JAHLife Před rokem +7

    To save some time - the Chord Progressions:
    1) 1 - 5 - 6 - 4
    2) 1 - 4 - 5
    3) 6 - 4 - 1 - 5
    4) 1 - 4 - 5 - 6
    5) 1 - 6 - 4 - 5
    @YourGuitarSage says the most common keys to learn and memorize would be the C and G scales.
    Have fun and keep learning my friends 🚀🏆🎶

    I liked the way this guy did chord progressions, although my favorite is a 1,5,4 in EMajor he has explained the voicing in a song . Anybody can learn chords, notes and music theory and depending on the person memorizing chords in g,c,d,e,f,a,b or thinking about it like g a minor bminor c,d we all learn differently but this guy went over chord progressions that we might hear everyday on the radio or internet.
