Making BAD Chords Sound GOOD

Thank you to my patrons for helping me make these videos!

1:57 you wrote C E G D F# Ab instead of C E G D F# A

I love how half of these played on overdriven lead guitar with whammy bar shenanigans instantly sound like Steve Vai

I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and I think your teaching videos have become exponentially more easy to understand, fun, and quality-full.

I love how the soft synth in the background while you're talking is playing the chord you're talking about.

[UncleWalter]

There are some piquant polychords in there

[michaeldmytriw]

Such a musical monster. And a fantastic teacher!!

[JakHart]

I feel like every video I watch from Ben, my brain forms new synaptic connections, and I move even further away from the majority of pop music, and yet I appreciate it all that much more.

I notice how my interpretation and implementation of music has changed over the time I've been watching this channel, it's absolutely stellar.

Really love the high quality of your art and teaching! Your approach to teaching resonates very naturally to me. Thank you for all the awesome work you put out Ben!

[ThatBenKraft]

Love your stuff Ben! Really like how some videos share a similar theme but are very distinct and cool!

[aliensporebomb]

First example went from 1960s sci-fi UFO harmony to DiMeola-esque! Nice!

there are no bad chords, only bad chord progressions

[evawilliammusic]

This is such a good video, gives you little packets to play with while also teaching you how to find your own scale matchings

[GreatFlamingEyebrows_]

there's an old video of yours where you were making a beat and said "everything sounds good to me today". I think about that quote a lot

[iqui]

Great video, inspired me a lot to make some chords myself now :)

[drrodopszin]

Once you give up on pop and happy, you can now make any chord sound good.

[andrewnicon]

These little lesson videos are really good and fun to watch.

[benjaminmjones]

I love this video!!
My favorite Amajor over Cmajor voicing (with lots of sustain) is having the C chord spread out low octave (root, fifth, third) and putting the A chord pretty high up and gluing it together with a D-note somewhere in between the chords ✨✨

[GarrySummerSummer]

Dude ben, your videos are just so good man, creative and cool. Keep it up

[jsardbb]

This reminds me of the video where you made chord progressions from random notes. Super cool perspective

[GabrielPerboni]

Every weird sounding music stuff is just half step away from sounding absolutely amazing…
That’s what I’ve learned with Dr. Levin
Love your vibe… Keep being unique for the longest time

Excellent examples of how melody and dissonance interact.
