3:24 an easy way to remember if a chord should be a Major or Minor is if it's not in the 1,4, 5 chord progression it's a Minor except for the 7 which is diminished, but you can still get a way with playing a minor.

This video misses something that is very simple but foundational. He states the sequence is maj, min, min, maj, maj, min, dim, but why? Using his example of the C major scale, ... Play the 1st, 3rd, and 5th note of the C major scale, C E G, that is a Cmaj chord Now for each subsequent degree, shift up one note in the scale. Sometimes the step will be a whole step, sometimes a half step for a given note of the chord. Play the 2nd, 4th, and 6th note of the C major scale: D F A, that is an Dmin Play the 3rd, 5th, and 7th note of the C major scale: E G B, that is an Emin Play the 4th, 6th, and 8th note of the C major scale: F A C, that is Fmaj Play the 5th, 7th, and 9th note of the C major scale: G B D, that is Gmaj Play the 6th, 8th, and 10th note of the C major scale: A C E, that is an Amin Play the 7th, 9th, and 11th note of the C major scale, B D F, that is a Bdim The exact same thing applies to 7th chords: play the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th notes of the C major scale, then walk each note up by one degree of the scale. You'll find Cmaj7, Dmin7, Emin7, Fmaj7, Gdom7, Amin7, Dmin7b5.

"Give the drummer a toy to play with for two minutes..." Lol

I went through learning this a long time ago. A whole lot of usable and useful information provided in this video. Well Done.

Really good thank you. Just one subject explained clearly with no showing off or attempts at “comedy” like many videos. You inspired me to learn more about this and try it out...

This is a system that more guitarists need to know. A little bit of theory goes a long way.

Perfect refresher that I needed. Great video.

thanks Joe.Excellent how you explained this system.

Good job putting this out there.

Awesome video ! Thank you.

this is the best system to play music!

tnx for this video...I learned a lot ... God bless

Awesome lesson. Thanks heaps. :-)

what about chords who are not minor/major/diminished like sus4, add9, 6, 7, split, etc ?

Thanks excellent lesson

You're the best head floating in the air that teaches guitar.

I want that tele.

Are Diatonic Chord Progressions different from Chord progressions? Or are they the same thing?

Chord Progressions are built off diatonic chords. Diatonic chords just mean chords that only use notes in a scale. The chord progression is no longer "diatonic" when you borrow a chord from a different scale.

what if the key is in minor???

Smiley mcfrownface its pretty much the same thing, but you consider the note 6 (in the case of the C major scale, the A minor) as the note 1 and so on

Relevent major

I got lost when you moved everything to the key of G

great video for starters although 9 drummers disliked it.

John Snow nailed guitar pretty well

You get a like for the drummer joke 😂😂

Joe? Who’s Joe?

Omg how bout the drummer? Chewing the drum sticks while waiting?

Why the hate directed towards drummers?

Music isn't about impressing.
