Songwriting 101: Unique Chords For Singer/Songwriters

Not really a songwriting lesson, but hey.

Technically, those 9th chords should be called a min9(No7) or min/maj9(No7).

Thanks for watching guys!

Duncang: I'm curious, what do you mean by it's "Not really a songwriting lesson?" Harmony is a part of Songwriting and I talk about some ways you can apply those chords to your own writing.

Crazysam23_Atax: Hmm... interesting. I've always learned that an extension on top of a triad is an "Add" chord. I've never heard of adding (No7) to the sonority name. If you don't mind me asking, where did you learn this chord naming method?

Actually, I apologize. I completely got that wrong. However, if the chord included the notes A, B, C, E (but no G or G#), I was taught you would call it Amin9(No7). I rechecked your lesson, and you did have the 7ths, lol. Again, I apologize. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone.

u just played the chords of oasis' masterplan!

It was an encouragement to find good voicings, and some examples of pretty chords and how to play them!

Learning these chords helped me get past a wall I hit with a song I'm writing. Thnx Kole.

You're very welcome gizmodious, xeus, vociferous, & no problem crazysam.

It's very interesting how this simple progression can be found in many different songs/styles (which you guys have already mentioned)!

Love those chords (i'd played the first one a million types in nearly every opeth song). Any one who's experimented enough with random chords would know those, but for those who don't, or didn't visualize the notes in the chords, this video was great.

Really good video dude, not sure why some people are complaining. Ive seen some of your videos before and to be honest couldnt get into them but if your going to put out more 'alternate/weird' chords and progression videos I'll definately be back for more!

The video wouldn't play for me, even after I disabled Adblock and watched some Red Bull commercial.
