Building Chords, Easy Music Theory

If you like this style of learning, I made a class with my friend Ian on how to build up the confidence to play with other musicians. I'm really proud of it so check it out:

Learn the basic elements of chord-building that can be applied to any instrument. The major scale is all you need to know to make any major or minor chord in any musical key on guitar, piano or anything else.

Listen to the new album:

I can't congratulate you enough for giving the clearest explanations of theory I have ever seen. Thank you for helping guitarists and managing to explain things clearly and directly.

[EasyGerman]

thank you, I feel like I'm at the beginning of a very clear vision :D

[nopey]

feels like dexter is teaching me music theory

[robfrancis]

Thank you Sean. This was a great lesson. I am 59, just started last April so I am 10 months in to learning to enjoy playing guitar. I've seen many similar graphics as you presented here, but none actually rang clear to me. My brother is a good guitarist, (a lefty) and he pointed me to your materials this past weekend. I am excited to get home from work tonight and try this exercise. Thanks again!

Boy, first time I really feel I’m starting to understand all these major, minor chords and music. Thanks!!!

As someone who is jumping head first into music, this has been the best explanation about what a key, chord, minor chord, major chord, and chord progression is that I've found.

I am a hobby guitarist and I have played for 15 years. In order to expand my playing, I want to know my way around the fretboard way better to call for a chord wherever I need and with the amount of strings I need. This gives me the basis for it. You explain very clearly and have fun while at it. New subscriber, even if I am joining in 7 years too late haha.

BLESS you for this video!!! I’m learning guitar and absolutely could not understand why and how each major chord is determined. I know the individual notes but just couldn’t understand how the chords comes together. I’ve looked at many many videos but no one was explaining HOW the chords are determined. Thank you a million times over for this!!!

[mikeandrade]

i will have to smoke a joint first and come back to watch again to understand any this.

[goldsilver]

It’s 2023, Bro I still watching your guitar concept video. It’s fantastic you explained fully basics of guitar in very deep way. Superb bro 😎 you are awesome. You deserve more than millions likes 👍 on this video. Love from 🇮🇳 INDIA

[samtaulli]

Would have helped if you related it back to guitar explain it using the fret board most guitar players learn by example and ear

[joelRmontfort]

Someday I'll be fit and handsome like you, Sean! In the meantime I'll work on my chord theory. Nice vid.

[SnakeRoot]

Just saying I had no idea how music theory worked until I watched this video and my mind is blown away

[akesq]

You are absolutely right. I wish I had known this 35 years ago when I first picked up a guitar. I have struggled ever since — and giving up many times along the way—trying to figure out how notes and chords fundamentally work together. Thank you so much!

[spacenewstoday]

After watching this I'm really disappointed in my guitar teacher from when I was a teen. It's so simple. Thanks!

[countrycottagelife]

This is the best explanation on the subject I have come across in 31 years of playing guitar ! Brilliant.

[bunkerliving]

I was wondering how you stayed so fit into your 20s.

[tcpUtube]

This type of information is 1000 times more beneficial than memorizing song licks or fretboard scale patterns. Thanks.

[anordinaryguy]

this is exactly what i searched for...thanku for this. noone wants to talk about it or undertstand mechanics, they just want to jump to play.

[TheBorrito]

This should be the first lesson in music theory for every guitar player.
