How Chords Work ... (functions, families, and progressions).

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻Click Show More to Expand👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Some chord progressions work better than others.  When we let chords work the way they are supposed to, amazing things happen and we are able to write beautiful chord progressions. 

You must realize that each chord has its personality, behavior, and, most importantly, its function within the major and minor key.

If your goal is to learn how to put chords together without just guessing, then I suggest that you watch this video. 

Of course, you can still use your ears. However, I recommend that you also learn how the chord functions within the key so that you can write things that are out of your comfort zone. 

There are 3 chord families that we find in music theory. 

Tonic family.
Sub-Dominant family.
Dominant family. 

Each family represents the function of each chord and how they work within the major and minor keys. 

In this guitar lesson, I am going to show you how to put chords together using the chord functions of each chord. Once you understand this concept, you will be able to analyze each chord progression you already play and write a bunch of new exciting ones.

Enjoy this lesson.

🎸FAQs:
Are you a full-time YouTuber?

How long have you been playing guitar?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.

Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content :)

Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.
