Step-by-step, you'll learn:
-
How to form various types of chords: major, minor, diminished, augmented and the easy theory behind them. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED. You'll literally laugh when you discover how easy it is to play all of these chords by ear!
-
The classes of chords and the difference between triads, sevenths, ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths... all broken down in "normal," down-to-earth, language.
-
One magic formula that creates all the chords you'll ever need to know. All I'll tell you is that it involves two words: Quality & Quantity (and you need both in order to create all chords).
-
How notes create scales... scales create chords... and chords create progressions. Once you master this simple process, learning songs comes easy... even to a beginner!
-
How to form any major scale in seconds using my "Why Won't He Wear White When Hot" trick. You won't find this taught anywhere else because it's totally out-of-the-box. These are the tricks students need to bring theoretical, intimidating concepts down to earth... and to stop from boring themselves to death! My courses are full of these creative tricks!
-
Easy ways to understand intervals (which are merely distances between notes). There are melodic intervals and harmonic intervals and you'll learn both. Simply put, if you can understand freeway signs: "Next exit in 3 miles"... then you can understand intervals!
-
The secret behind the "number system" and how to use it to learn practically any chord out there. I'll prove it to you with 7 practical examples.
-
The "interval" approach and how to never mislabel notes and chords again by simply mastering two simple rules that'll stick with you for the rest of your music career.
-
The difference between generic and specific intervals and why it's important to master both. Hint: One is like the "shape" of the chord while the other is like the "size." You need both to properly describe any chord.
-
The concept of superimposing one interval over another to create something bigger than the two parts, separately. Forget big words... superimposing simply means to stack one thing on top of another (like one box on top the other). This happens a lot in music!
-
All the formulas you need to know to play triads (M3 + m3), (m3 + M3), (m3 + m3), (M3 + M3), etc. Each of these give you an entirely different chord and sound!
-
How to master inversions (root position, first inversion, second inversion, etc.). An inversion is simply a different way to play the same chord and you'll learn just how to do it!
-
How to use triads in a major scale and how to determine the primary chords of every key. Hint: Once you know the primary chords in a key, they will be the most common chords played in most songs.
-
How to form various types of seventh chords and why they are so important in playing by ear.
-
Why seventh chords are the foundation of many more extended chords like ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, and altered voicings. Hint: You won't even have to learn the "big" chords once you've mastered a few little tricks with the seventh chord!
-
The power of the "magic 3rd & 7th" and how manipulating them can help you to instantly play dozens of chords in all twelve keys... very easily!
-
The concept of "tertian chords" versus "non-tertian" chords and how to form both types. Musicians that understand both kinds play a lot more interesting and unpredictable than those that stick to regular chords. Don't worry about the fancy language. There's nothing to it once you understand it.
-
The secret behind extended tertian chords and how to enhance your playing with them. This one secret will change the way you look at chords forever.
-
How to play chords most musicians have never heard of... "secundals," "tone clusters," "quartal chords," "quintal chords" and more! No! I'm not trying to impress you with big words. These are real types of chords used in real songs.
-
How to play the "minor/major" seventh chord... NOT just separate major seventh chords and minor seventh chords (you'll learn those too)... but THE "minor/major" seventh chord. Most musicians have never heard of this!
-
Why intervals are so important and how to use them to easily play any major, minor, dominant, diminished, half-diminished, augmented, or altered seventh chord in all 12 keys --- instantly.
-
The power of tonic chords, super tonic chords, mediant chords, and others... and how they help you to understand how music flows.
-
Other scale tone degrees like "subdominant," "dominant," "submediant," "leading tone," and how to use them to predict what chords will come next in a song. Don't worry if you've never heard this language before... it's very simple once I break it down for you.
-
How to determine what chords strongly pull to others. This is the key to effectively learning songs by ear... quickly!
-
The modern musician's best friend: The "tritone" and how to use it with seventh chords to creatively transform the entire mood of your playing.
-
How the circle of fifth allows you to play dozens of chord progressions using all of the seventh chords and voicings from this course!
-
What the "minor-dominant-major" chord progression is and how it's used in at least 60% of popular music! Think of a song and I guarantee you it's in it!
-
Various chord progressions like the "2-5-1," "5-1," "1-4," and how major scales help you to understand these progressions in every major key.
-
How to invert seventh chords four different ways! Hint: There's the root position, first inversion, second inversion, and third inversion... while triad chords only have three inversions.
-
The best inversions to choose for seventh chords to give them the richest, smoothest sound... especially when connecting from one chord to the next.
-
How to play seventh chords on each and every tone of the major scale. That means, for all seven unique tones in a scale, there is a major seventh, minor seventh, dominant seventh, or half-diminished seventh chord to correspond to that tone ---- which tells you where to place chords when playing real songs.
-
How seventh chords relate to the minor scale. Warning: This is rarely taught so you'll be shocked to see what chords correspond to the minor scale and how to use them in more serious-sounding songs.
-
How to change your left-hand bass note and create a bigger, nicer-sounding chord (like an eleventh or minor thirteenth voicing) by keeping the same seventh chord held down in your right hand!
-
And much more!
