This technical talk is giving me flashbacks to engineering classes

[terrors]

trevor you’ve honestly inspired me to take playing guitar seriously again. i never really went in depth with learning all the technicalities of guitar but i’ve been watching so many of your videos so i can try to get a better understanding. thank you for doing these :)

I just learned if I’m gonna play beautiful music, I REALLY gotta know my shit like the back of my hand, this is amazing motivation to dive into the more “boring” aspects of the craft because it’s giving such accessible and evidential steps and guidelines to turn what would usually be considered boring into something fun and gorgeous

[zombitshe]

It's crazy, everytime i hear your tone i get a sudden urge to pick up my guitar and play. Keep it up man !

[DannyMck]

I can't play that Bmi9 without immediately hearing Try Honesty by Billy Talent

[wesleyayres]

Very useful, i definitely need to start alternating bass notes while keeping the rest of the chord more

I have been playing guitar by ear for 15 years. The technicality of this video gave me a stroke. Lmaoooo jk but whew I wish I could speak robot. The progression played out beautifully,

[nadiastroud]

[abhiskekrachit]

I swear once I get a guitar I'm heading straight for your patreon page 😤

[AjCohn]

every single time i try to learn something cool this guys has a fantastic video explaining what i want to know. you’re a brilliant man and the service you provide is invaluable. this information is SO essential to so many people. thank you for making these

[albertplaysguitar]

My first time coming across your channel! Great explanation! I modify my chords like this all the time but easily lose sight of what to even call the chord anymore.

[akimbogoats]

I love using Midwest emo chord progressions and using them to make prog metal, it’s so cool

[KimchiSpringRoll]

I do notice Isogai playing with this kind of chord progressions a lot.

[goner.]

When I looked up emo, I meant adifferent kind of emo and found this(don’t real emo copypasta me plz), but shit’s killer.

[shangster]

Pretty close to Billy Idols Try Honesty and that's not a bad thing

[superbroadcaster]

I hear the gusto, but I feel playing the progression with a gentler inflection like in the tutorial and some melodic accents will put you right into Midwest emo/math rock territory, i.e. Clever Girl.

Once you go above 3 tones and you really start strumming, even clean bright tones can get washed out.

[doxophobiac]

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but what tuning are you playing in?

[joeramos]

does anyone know what mode/scale dis is? :.)

[denmarkball]

Hey man, I appreciate the effort but I didn't really learn anything. The reason is that this is more of a "tutorial" on how to play one particular progression rather than discussing the philosophy and harmonic action (IDK english term but I mean the interaction between the chords). What I got from this was one maj7 chord in different grips (again forgot english term, I'm referring to the order of the notes in the chord)?? Surely there's more to it than just variations of one maj7
