Thank you sir! and your instructor too. Incredible to me the things I have learned since the lockdown has started - and this ranks right up there (with learning a new language)! Kudos! Since I prefer the "C-shape" of chords to the "D-shape" I find it easier to use that, keeping in mind that it is up two frets from your definitive note pattern off the 5th string (9:50)... Hope that makes sense...

That was Major! I would not in my head have been able to come up with that because I'm too busy calling things either scale patterns or lead patterns. But thank you for posting this because it is definitely a pattern that makes the understanding of theory and chord progression very simple!

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that the notes on the fretboard just live where they live. They don’t move. They don’t DO anything. Learning to play is really a matter of discovering all the different ways to “see” the relationships between the notes. Eventually, this knowledge starts to build on itself and you start conceptualizing the same information in different ways. This is one such way, and it’s one I hadn’t really encountered before. Super helpful and very enlightening. Thanks so much! 🙏👍

Another way that's helpful, if you start to learn modes, is that each string will be one of the modes of any given key. If the open string isn't a root of one of the modes, then shift that mode on that string up by one fret. This is super helpful I've been finding for open tunings as well. I just wanted to add this as an aside to your comment that the notes don't move. Which is true, because they don't, but as soon as you switch to alternate tunings this can trip you up. But if you visualize the six strings as six individual modes, then you can easily adjust to other tunings as well. Hope this made some sense. For example: E major is A lydian is D# locrian is G# phrygian is B mixolydian.

@@TerryTinsel I'll try.. So in the example I provided, I used the key of E major. Notice the modes I highlighted were E major/ionian, A lydian, D# locrian, G# phrygian, and B mixolydian. I went in order of the strings for simplicity.. EADGBE. In E major, your open note on the D and G strings will not be part of the key. Thus, for those, you try building a mode from the first fret instead. Thus you get the D# root and the G# root for those strings. In E major, the mode that is built off of D# is D# locrian, and the mode built off of G# is G# phrygian. Alright. So if you look again, you can visualize the available notes of your key on each string individually by assessing which mode is built from that string's open position. Or the first fret in the exception cases like D# and G#. For example, the A string in this case (A lydian) would have the following frets available for this key. 0 (open) 2 4 6 7 9 11 12 The D string is trickier since you're building from the first fret. D# locrian looks exactly like D locrian except moved up one fret. So like, D locrian would be... 0 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 But D# locrian is... 1 2 4 6 7 9 11 13 Using this method you can easily map out the notes of any key for each string. Once you memorize the relationship of modes across strings, it becomes easier. Ie: knowing that the modes always stack the same way across the strings in standard tuning.. Ie: if low E is phrygian, then A is minor, D is Dorian, etc. Finally, returning to the point about open tunings, this same formula makes mapping out open tunings a breeze. Example: DGDGBD - open G In this, you know that if you wanted to play in G major, your G strings will both be the major mode. Thus your D strings will all be the mixolydian mode. And your B string will be phrygian. So it would be like this in total: D mixolydian G major D mixolydian G major B phrygian D mixolydian Hopefully that clears things up further. Maybe one day soon I can make a video or something explaining this concept. I just added it to this comment because I thought it was interesting that they pointed out that the notes never move, which as I said, is true. But it's good to have some other methods in your pocket to approach alternate tunings which also then helps if you want to play like, mandolin or lap steel. This approach works well since it's a string by string approach and will work for any fretted instrument.

@megadave 1 second ago For some people I imagine this is almost pointless, if you are good with your ears and can find other chords in the key you’re playing in without any theory or by using a pattern like this one then maybe you don’t need this. My first 2 years of playing however my ears were totally useless so understanding the chords that should work via theory was my way of knowing the options available. How do you go about finding other chords to play alongside your 1 chord? Is it just trial and error or do you have a system of your own?

Are you kidding me???? you have no idea how easy you made my playing and jamming with folks....this is incredible.

Dude!!!!! I've been playing guitar now for about 15 years, and have NEVER seen this relationship between major/minor chord-shapes and positioning. I feel like I understand it a whole lot more now, and am so appreciative of this tip you received and am so grateful you shared it with the world.

This is a really cool trick. And something else I noticed earlier when messing around with it. If you go three frets UP instead of down and do the same L shape you get the 3 major chords of the scale (ie. from C major we get Eb major) you are allowed to borrow chords from. Or, to put it another way, your 3 major chords from your original key (for instance C) are the 3 minor chords of the key you are allowed to borrow chords from. Because you are allowed to borrow chords from the parallel key (C major is parallel to C minor).

I understand how you calculate the notes of the key. Where is unclear is what chord shapes you are using to conjugate the chords of the key. This is such valuable information. A little more detail for the transition from note to chord will be very helpful. Spelling out the order of the chords will be beneficial as well. Maybe a second video for newbies that require a little more detail please. Merci pour tout!

That's what I'm saying! Everyone says this is good for beginners but teach it as if we already know what the hell we're doing. Which isn't a beginner.

Google barre chord shapes. Root 6 and Root 5 chords. Easy stuff here, guys.

wonderful lesson on chord progression in a particular key without memorizing the sequence explained ever! Great!

Definitely eye opening to say the least! Worth rewatching many times! Thanks for your time and expertise!🙏🏻

My pleasure :-)

This is actually way more helpful than I thought. If someone gets confused, thinking that there is no difference between finding chords in a Major key and in a Minor key, as you only have to start with your index on the "1st" minor chord you find with this trick moving 3 frets down, the truth is that it actually doesn't have to change shEt. Every major scale for excample has a Relative Minor scale that has the same exact notes with it, but its root(?) note is 1 and a half step lower. Same thing with a Minor scale: just move 1 and a half step higher and begin playing the Major scale from the 3rd note of the Minor scale and upwards. I'm spammin' sh*t, but this is helpful for improvising, as you can play your basic pentatonic, and if you know where your root note is and the major scale in general, you can do some reaally cool stuff with these switches. Sorry if this is just unnecessary for you, I just hope I can help someone

This actually reminds me of how the Stradella bass system works on accordion. The bass buttons are arranged around 4ths and 5ths and so scales are played similarly to how you're playing the chords in order within the key. Interesting!

Whoa! This is mind blowing for me. And so relevant. For anybody who wants too write songs or just jam and improvise over chord progressions or create there own backing tracks this is a must. Amazing!

This was how I thought in playing bass, and I have been using this on building my riffs
