Problems you have as a guitar player: 1. You feel behind where you should be considering how long you’ve been playing for 2. Not knowing what to practice which results in jumping around from thing to thing and overall just wasting your time 3. You only ever learn parts of songs and struggle to actually finish one 4. You lack motivation to pick up the instrument despite feeling very excited to in the past 5. You’ve been playing the same licks/songs for years 6. You can’t play what’s in your head 7. Feeling nervous around better musicians 8. You’ve never really gotten the hang of the metronome 9. Music theory doesn’t make sense to you or feels like a massive task to learn and you don’t know where to start 10. And above all, you just sound amateur Because I'm smart as hell and understand your problems so well, I've addressed them all in 52 Week Guitar Player. Chances are by this point you're aware that the program is open for enrollment. We are looking to take 90 intermediate level guitar players to an advanced level within the next 12-24 months. By advanced, I mean helping you improvise anywhere on the neck in any key, write chord progressions you never would've thought of or knew how to previously, tighten up your playing, help you feel confident around other musicians, understand music theory, etc. I created a video explaining how the program works that I'll link here: brandondeon.com/52wgp-video This program is not cheap, but it is the best you'll find on the internet. Watch the video above if you don't believe me. 52WGP is for students who are serious about taking their musicianship to the next level. You'll have until March 31 to enroll but fun fact about this stuff: everyone tries to enroll toward the end. People want to take time to weigh the pros and cons of joining - this is completely understandable. But just so you know, as time passes the window of opportunity shrinks. And at the end of the day, yes the program will open again months later (this is my business and I'm not closing it). But instead of staying in the same place for months, I'm sure you could agree your time would be better spent getting a different perspective on things - not just continuing to play the same stuff you do all the time. I do my best to help you chefs out with all of these fookin community posts all the time. For some of you, that's all you need. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm happy to be helping you out. But for those of you that want to improve at a faster pace, I'll see you on the other side dammit. Here's the link once again: brandondeon.com/52wgp-video Okay bye. -Brandon

I really hate how you advertise your program and hearted your own pinned comment. If you're ever trying to figure out why it's not doing as well as you hoped or expected, start here. I'm usually pretty mellow and generally don't comment on stuff like this. If you're doing fine, then by all means I guess. Just think you could get more people onboard by not coming across as a tryhard.

You’ll never have an idea how this video just changed my brain. You explained it so effortlessly where others have confused me, a competent 34 year old dude. Thank you and I’ll be signing up for your course. I binge all your vids over and over again. Can’t wait to achieve some sort of notoriety with guitar playing and give you the credit

Luv your videos

What a hero! I mostly think a lot of the courses regarding music are probably scams regurgitating easily accessible information but the quality of your free content is SO GOOD in regards to clarity and diagrams that I’m tempted to try and enroll.

"Why are chords never named with even numbers?" *Names the literal first chord with an even number*

It is an honor to have a guitar tutor as beautiful as you. Thank you for your wonderful videos. ❤

First musician I've seen willing to break this down so simply, appreciate it

So much important information in such a short time. Great vid

Ah man this is so well explained... Thank you for this!

Very helpful thank you for this

THANK YOU SO MUCH

finally some real advice instead of “comedy”

Very good Performance

Great info!

nah this was explained so well i had to sub

Thank you so much for that simplified version. Never understood

This is an actual helpful short great job 👏

Probably the best explanation I’ve heard

You made me understand something that in 1 and a half years of learning theory i didnt manage to thanks man

Last I heard, 6 is an even number.

That’s why they got them funny numbers lol

slightly misleading title, but really well explained and easy to understand

Something opaque just became clear

DSus4 chord: Am I a joke to you!?!

I have been so damn confused on this concept exactly for like a million years

Sus2 Sus4 ez

That funny I didn't understand the chords names with number. now I feel stupid for not getting it.

Piano is ready to show you the even chords

Today I learned that 6 is an odd number.

Sus2 and 4 chords are screaming rn

6th chords and suspended chords just put you on a list for this slander

I call them...power chords with extra little diddly doo das

Bro really ignored the existence of sus2 and sus4

It would be really cool if you made videos about bass too imo.

6 is an even number

If I add Bb or A# does that mean I have a c6.5

Nice Tele Brandon.

Did I just hear a Guiding Light theme with Cmaj7

I now know what add9 is. It's been so long lol

How’s about D, F, and A chords?

😭😭😭 I'M JEALOUS You have so much acoustic to flex and i just sold mine before even i learned, it's a local brand made a cheap one since i needed it on my school fees so i sold it now I'm never able to learn guitar anymore

Why isn't c with an added d c2?

Why does this make sense 🤣

Good

Ya nice vid

C6, Csus4

Man, you opened my eyes. I had been asking myself lol, "What da heck is a 5th." Now I know :-) Thanks (The 5th note in the scale? :-) ....A 9th is the B note repeated?)

Gsus4. That is all

🤔🤯💣💥🎶🤘🙌

"never" First example is a C6...

Six is an even number and he meant to say anything after seven but people are saying what’s out of the octave is what is referred to. Six is in the octave so I do not know what people saying outside the octave are talking about unless they mean 13.

What about Cadd16 etc. Again a new note ('d') but even higher than add9

I'm still thrown that a C6 and C13 are the same chord...i guess it's to do with the inversions. But yeah this checks out.

In jazz, a 13 chord isn't just an added 6th, it is often 1 3 5 b7 9 13 (This is a dominant 13, there are also major and minor 13s)

You forgot to mention Sus2, Sus4, and the diminished and augmented variations. But that's none of my business 🐸 ☕

sus 2 and sus 4. you mention the 6th...so , yeah, maybe back to math class bro....but nice chords!

Yeah, like C6 o Csus4

AYOOO BRO THANKS! I was wondering all the time! Damn, thanks to you, now I have to deal with real things.. Oh, wait.. OH NO

man you aree so funny

Poor 6th 😢

Bro, I cant afford you. I'll keep playing my one song for ever🤣🤦‍♂️😭

Q: Why was 6 afraid of 7? A: Because 7, 8, 9!

Dsus4 left the chat

*6th and sus2 chords have left the chat

What does the “add” stand for, like why isn’t it just called C9. It’s something like add9 having only a 9 on top whereas C9 is with a 7 in there too right??

@347Jimmy

Жыл бұрын

This is correct, a C9 (or C dominant 9) is 1 3 5 b7 9 Cmaj9 is 1 3 5 7 9 Cmin9 is (you guessed it) 1 b3 5 b7 9 The "add" stands for "added" As in "regular major chord with added 9"

bro what

Suspended 4th?

Fun fact this also makes no sense if you’re using an 8 note scale to derive chords.

Makes sense in a beginner's standpoint due to music theory being very complicated and never being unified into one theory, but that's not the whole story. We don't see much of the even numbers (beyond the usual 1 3 5) because chords are like a basic instruction, even though you can make it as simple or complicated as you want. I could say perfectly just C7 or C7(9) or C7(13b) (people don't usually complicate it too much besides specific genres). The sheet music is actually the one that tells you exactly what to play, it has all sorts of tools that chords don't have to show you how to play. But, there are exceptions to the even number chords in different regions of the world and genres like jazz (crazy extensions like 10ths, 12ths, 14ths) differs from the classical period music (vanilla tonal harmony), for example. Plus, I'm not even talking about the complexities of 20th century music, that's too much. The terminology tends to be different between musical systems too (i.e. Solfege vs American). Music theory is complicated and it's full of shards of knowledge scattered around, that's why good and well versed musicians construct their knowledge like a mosaic. It starts with one author (or genre) and it expands to other places, authors and genres.

Sus2, sus4 , 6, all even numbers… 😅

yeah sus2, sus4, drop 2, no even numbers for sure

Sus2 has entered the chat.

I heard there is a difference between (9 chords) and (add 9 chords)? C add 9 adds the same 9 (D note) as C minor add 9 also adds D note octave higher than bass note of course which is C

52 year old rock star here. What's a chord ?

6th and suspended chords bro

They are

Yeah, chords are never named with even numbers. *Uses a 6 chord as an example*

But couldn't adding a d be adding the second? So couldnt Cadd9 be called Cadd2

I'm hoping you just intentionally post incorrect information all the time to boost the number of comments you get. If not I worry for your students. 😂

Smart as hell huh! Fail !! 6, sus 2, sus 4, would like to have a word .

But D was 2 as well 😢

D2? D 6 5 D 4 3?

Spicy boy Stravinsky doesn't approve. In all seriousness though CEEbG is a simple example where Add b10 (or Add 10 if you're notating it as a Cm) becomes relevant.
