Just outline an E major and F major triad and you have 6 of the 7 notes of Harmonic Minor. I learned that from David Becker's book.

Yes I get it straight away and now understand how to solo over the chord changes. Take bits from the scale or mode you are using as well as arpeggios and move to the next emphasising the chord tones It's got lots of different elements in it like blues, jazz and a bit of Santana Too. Thank you.
@marcelorochaadv Жыл бұрын
great lesson! It's so nice to hear that double tension between E7 and the dominant-diminished arpegios. Once you learn to use the diminished from the b9, 7th, 3rd and 5th of the dominant chord, you can use it all over the place, building the tension and relieve

I want to tell you that I'm 55 and I started studying since I was 25. I've taken lessons forever. I've studied under a jazz guy for a year and a half and learned to read music and complicated chords. I've done nothing but wood shed since covid so I know my theory and my scales. One thing my teachers never bothered to teach me was how to tie everything up into a nice neat package. I've been watching your videos and this video I completely understand what's going on. I am watching and going back until I've nailed the rhythm part. Personally, I think you are the best at teaching guitar I've seen. I feel like my playing has improved since I've discovered your channel. Very greatful for your free lessons. The economy is kind of rough and car is in the shop, but when we have sunny days again. I will look into your paid content. Thank you very much.

A great study from 1 to 5 incorporating the phrygian dominant scale which has these beautiful aterations ( 9- and -13), giving people some stuff to use their grey cells, ha ha, greetings Vic

My Achilles heel is that I can solo all of this at speed in a couple of styles, and with changes, but I'm an ear player and couldn't care less about the name of what I'm playing as it means nothing to me outside of how it sounds, and even if I did, who's thinking about that when you're playing 16th notes? Don't get me wrong, I know all the minor pentatonic, aeolian, natural minor scales, a few modes (phryg, lyd) and can tell you what key I'm in, but the more advanced stuff is just too much theory to care about imho. I'm old (er), so there's that lol. To me, there is so much overlap in minor, harmonic minor, phrygian that to the uneducated ear it means nothing (ooh it sounds middle eastern and mystical) would be the response to any of it.

Can somebody go more into the context of how to use the G#dim chord? I understand the theory of that chord, it’s a minor chord then you flat the 5th so instead of G# B D# which would be a minor chord it’s G# B D so that chord becomes diminished and it then fits the a harmonic minor scale. So I understand what a diminished chord is and why it fits into a harmonic minor but I guess I’m looking for a little more context on how to apply it and use it maybe in different scenarios or something idk. I know how to build keys so the key of G major has only one sharp on F# so G# major is every note sharped and F double sharped. Then you drop the 3rd of G chord from B# to B for a minor chord, then the 5th from D# to D for a diminished chord, but I’m looking for application tips for any sharped diminished chord in different progressions. I’m very familiar with the theory of key signatures and how chords are built but I’m looking for knowledge on the fretboard specifically on how to fret and use more than just basic major and minor chords and also how to use those more advanced chords in the broader sense of different chord progressions, like how and why to use diminished chords and whatnot

GREAT video Corey. I hope you'll reply to my question: You said: "over the E7 you can play the A harmonic minor"... however, it's really the 7th note that's the only difference between that and A natural minor. The way I see it ... I can play A natural minor and when the E7 comes around I can pronounce this chord by playing G# . My point is: I don't see this so much as an A harmonic minor but more as a A natural minor with a chord that's outside and key which I can highlight. I can still play A natural minor even on the E7 as long as I don't play the 'G' note (either play G# there or other notes). Do you "see my point"? I'm more "playing the chords rather than "playing the scale". Does this make sense? I'll MUCH appreciate your reply Corey. Thanks for the great video again.
@coreycongilio Жыл бұрын
you're not wrong...that is the basis of the Harmonic Minor but, there's a lot more going on than just the one note difference. There are chords and arpeggios built within this scale when superimposed can yield great sounds. I didn't go over Am/maj7 or the Augmented stuff that's available. Great comment and thanks for watching.
