Paul, this is excellent. I think three H's make you an excellent guitar instructor with this video and many of your other vids: 1. Humility 2. Honesty 3. Humour. Please keep up your awesomeness, Thanks!

This has to be one of the greatest videos of yours that I have ever watched. I am trying to learn more about music theory and I have never seen a video like this explaining how to utilize the theory of chords to compose a chord progression. This is amazing and a great help to conceptualize how to utilize musical keys and to put together a chord progression! Thank you for continuing to break me out of my ruts and keep me motivated to improve my guitar playing!

it's amazing how well Paul explains these concepts and how much he enjoys doing it. Hats off, just beautiful!

Beautiful! That reminds me of the second part of "You never give me your money" by the Beatles

4:20 “Bell bottom blues, you made me cry!”

I love how from the beginning of your videos years ago until now, you have kept the blue/orange contrast colors in your videos. It’s just another thing that adds to the peaceful and aesthetically pleasing learning environment you provide. Thanks for the consistent high quality, Paul.

this has gotta be the best and most concise YT guitar lesson ever; exactly what I needed for new inspiration and practice!

Been playing guitar for 12 years now. Thanks for finally unlocking that most frustrating part of my brain when trying to write songs without vast music theory knowledge ✌️✌️✌️

Best guitar theory Teacher ever , he makes every theory lesson so easy to understand.

You are such a giving person, a great musician. I've played a lot of years to learn these moves and you are so kind as to give them away. I am glad to see that a lot of people like yourself are sharing their knowledge. Its a wonderful thing. thanks too all the guys that are doing this. Back in my day it was not so.

thanks paul i like how you choose topics and simplify it so you make sure anyone can undestand it ..

The Grateful Dead song Mississippi Half Step has many of the same chords from this video. This is a nice example of how the chords were used in the songwriting process.

It's so good learning theory on the guitar as opposed to learning it from a keyboard perspective when you are a guitarist. Learning idiomatically is so good.

I love this. I learned about secondary dominants in my college theory classes, but this was an amazing way to explain it to someone who isn't as big a theory nerd. Such a good communicator.

Love secondary dominants in chord progressions, and love that you touched on the minor 4 at the end. Such a beautiful lesson! Thank you, Paul!

One of your best lessons I've seen.

You should do passing chords. Like tritone subs, secondary diminisheds, related 2s, tensions and altered chords. Other than that, great video and great lesson. Cheers !

Thanks for doing a video on this.

So happy to see a video going into more detailing and describing the concept.

Great video Paul! There have been several KZreadrs who have done videos on secondary dominant lately, but yours is definitely the most practical.

Wow! I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but through my almost 30 years of playing I've never really grasped the theory behind these chord buildups until you explained it so elegantly. Thank you Paul!

Always enjoy your videos, but this is right at the top. I love the dom7 chords and incorporating them as secondary dominant is fantastic. Thanks as always for your time.

This is simply brilliant Paul. Kudos for simplifying it so elegantly.

Great lesson I'm going to have to rewatch over and over and over again. Thanks Paul.

The 100% safe how to: Any V will resolve to its lead (thanks to the guitar structure, you can 'see' it on the fretboard). As a basis, play flat when leading to major, or altered when leading to minor and your good to go with 90% of classic jazz, blues and pop music.
