Have you ever created a SICK melody or riff, and then thought... "ok, well, what next? What chords would work to accompany this?". Well here you go 😉 This video will help you out with just that. I'll show you all of the available chords that you can use to help assist your melody, show you which ones have the strongest pull, and how to use them to manipulate the listeners expectations.

Hey! My name is Darryl Syms, and uh, well, I play guitar! I mean, I do a bunch of other cool things too - hopefully you can get to know me a little bit more through some of my videos.
On this channel, I predominantly post instructional videos to help inspire and encourage like-minded guitar players. My goal is to help you expand your musical vocabulary, to broaden your understanding of music, and to entertain. There are already thousands of guitar related videos out there, but I try to set my videos apart from the usual by exploring a modern approach, and by simply being myself! 💁♂️
Other than music, I have many other passions such as surfing, snowboarding, nutrition, advocating a vegan and sustainable lifestyle, yoga, photography, and a mixture of other things. Maybe you're interested in checking out my website: www.darrylsyms.com ✌️
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer, and I look forward to growing as a musician with you!
Thanks so much for reading! 💜

Darryl, when you write songs, do you write chord first or melody first?

Someone else asked this question on my online school - I think it’s in the forum mate, check it out 🙂

I have a question. What if I used a scale instead of a key to create my chords. It doesn't look like there are any sharps within that key when he makes his chords.

@DarrylSyms 4 жыл бұрын

A scale inevitably is a key, but however you want to think about it, that’ll work too 👍

@NowakP 5 жыл бұрын

At 2:22 you say II dim, but you actually play II dim7 chord. I'm assuming the naming is for simplification's sake, but it confused me a bit, because when I think of a 'regular' diminished chord I think "b5 and b3!" (in this order) and not "bb7 b3!" :) Great lesson otherwise :)

@DarrylSyms 5 жыл бұрын

That is correct sir, good spotting! 🙂

I just want to play a melody and add chords to it without overthinking which note I’m playing and which chords work. Isn’t there a more intuitive way?

@Logan-gb7uy 4 ай бұрын

This is the intuitive way lol. Just play your melody and then find what notes you’re playing then make chords out of those that would be shorter than this vid. But it would really be useful to know the scale/key you’re in and just have those chords pulled up to be able to use. Or you could guess based off of the sound of your notes which is always fun imo and you dont have to follow the rules of music either just have fun

@felixleroi 4 ай бұрын

I just want to jam bro. Without going into mathematical analytical thinking (which key, which notes work...). If people are jamming they also can play chords to a melody without conciously thinking about the theory, can't they?@@Logan-gb7uy

@@DarrylSyms Have you tried this voicing for the B half diminished: : B e string, D G string, F B string, and perhaps also the A D string? Great lesson by the way. Thanks.
