The Power of Relative Minor

Learn what the term 'relative minor' means, and how to use it to help you find out what key you're in if you don't know the chords.

If you want to learn the difference between major and minor:

I come for the intro jokes, the theory knowledge is just extra!

"I play in the key of love!!"
Lol i died at this one. thanks man.

I am a bass player who loves all music. Please don't stop what you're doing. I wish that I had music teachers like you when I was a kid. People like you make the world a better place. Just wanted to say thanks for making a difference.

That intro joke was offensive to me, my wife, cousin and sister. She and I both did not appreciate it. HAHAHA great videos man! Thanks for the knowledge!

A friend of mine once asked an 80 year old man what he would do over if he was a teenager again. His answer, "if I were a teenager again, I would major in minors." True story.

I'm playing in the key of love! First three string inducing method is simply the best.

Sprayed my morning coffee everywhere to the opening joke.

Love your work

Hands down, the best music theory video I have ever seen. I came in to learn about relative minors, and you ended up teaching me how to jam 20 times better than before. Thank you so much, I just subscribed

That segment about finding "the key of love" is exactly what I needed. All of my friends are that hippy. Great lesson

[espedale]

You broke this down perfectly! Thank you for sharing this music theory. BTW: Do you ever find it shocking that 87, 000 people have watched this lesson? Look up Jordan-Hare Stadium (Alabama). It's maximum capacity is around 87, 000. Imagine everyone who viewed this lesson filling that stadium to the max and cheering you on... because we ARE.

I've been using this method for a long time and by far this is the best method to find the key of a song and it makes it way easier to transcribe.

Of all the YouTube videos, of all the lessons I’ve taken, for all the years I’ve been playing, this video opened an understanding that no one has ever opened to me!!! This was amazingly useful!!
Thank you so much!!!

This is hands down the best guitar source on YouTube

[erkameksen]

Distigly Most easy-to-use and simple "What key I'm in?" video lesson on youtube I watched until that day....

[FinaleCadence]

That 3 finger technique to jamming with the hippy dude is phenomenal! I never thought to do that! You are an excellent teacher.

[coffee]

I like how he waited after the joke like “ha, get it? DO YOU GET IT!?”

[deepdlh]

Simplest hack I’ve ever heard to understand relative minors and that’s saying something. I started in 1981. Great lesson.

[muhk]

"Keys, man? I play in the key of love..." hahaha

[matthewmchenry]

Your intro joke was hilarious and as usual you're incompletely understandable theory lesson helped me a ton. cheers mate

[elweroloco]

Love how I can watch your videos without my guitar near me. That's a true master. Much Love
