B MAJOR/G#min....isnt a common KEY to play on the Guitar
But Im going to play the A chord as the N6 chord of G# min. ( for REFERENCE)
Im going to play B 3, 7 , 8 12 ( the F# or 5th is in the second octave)
Then simply F# Maj barre chord..less the bar against open B and E ( F#7 add 11)
Then...Im going to play A sus 9 chord at the nut..
Then Alter pick different BASS notes A sus9/F...A sus9/E...A sus9/C
It dosnt sound quirky..but rather soothing/dreammy
Then the B Maj7 again ( basically I, V)
For another Cadence...Im simply going to play
D Maj7 ( barre on 2nd fret)
E min ( at the Nut).............It could be E lyd #2 or Lyd b3
A sus9/F...A usus9/C
F# MAJOR barr
B Maj ..barre ( without picking that high F# note)
Then Im going to play....
A Maj7...at the nut
Slide up 2 frets to play inverted D# min. Play the D# with my pinky on the A string.
arpeggiate it...D# min add b9 ( D# phrygian)
Then G# min...at the 4th fret.
I could play E min F Maj C AUG against open B and E
F# Maj B Major..
or trick you ear even more..
Play B Maj7 Barr at the 7th fret...less the barr,,against the open B and E
then play E , 3, 7 agsint open B and E
Then A Maj7 at the 5th fret...less the Barr....alter pick between E on the 7th fret
and open A
Then simply SLIDE the simple chord shape to E Maj7 at the NUT
Then F# Maj.....B MAJOR
You know me...Ill play D min or A# maj7 ( Bb maj7)
to F min chord then F# Maj B Maj
or C AUG F min Bb/A# dim B MAJOR :-P

Good video as usual. Interesting but very much within a tonal context. I wondered about two things. 1. If we take a standard triad - CEGC and then fill in the gap between G and C with A and B those notes would not be technically passing tones surely - but I would expect them to work. 2. It is sometimes possible - maybe quite often - to use chromatic harmonies - by using notes which are out of the key. Perhaps that possibility has been disregarded for this video, as many people will want to work with standard keys and tonality, or be sitting exams which test this kind of thing, but it would be interesting to know what the role of -out of key- notes would be in the same way. In jazz they might just be considered as colour tones - if the harmonies otherwise worked OK.

Gareth, my man, you're just looking better and better aren't ya? If you ever need a video idea I reckon lots of us would appreciate an addendum to the galant schemata video you did at some point since so much was, understandably, left unsaid regarding how those stock progressions applied to part writing and cadential cliches

I would argue that in bar 3, beat 2, there is either a change of chord on the second quaver, or even that the soprano C is the -actual- albeit consonant passing note, given the bass motion II-V-VI, and the dominant 7th on the second quaver being a stronger chord than the IIIb on the beat. Cheers.

Can you do a video lesson just like this about various types of embellishment used from 1500 to 1900? The embellishments have these little small notes written above the note to tell what types of embellishments to use which gets confusing.

When I sit down at the piano and try to write stuff I often find myself getting stuck with 4 chord loops like you would typically find in pop songs. Whats a good way to break out of this and make more complex musical ideas?

In contemporary music and jazz, how would you differentiate between an inessential note and a chord extension? (since the 'non-chord' tones in classical music may be used as chord extensions)
Thanks in advance!

5:32 by you must move stepwise and not leap when using a passing tone, does it mean the notes you play have to be at most one whole step apart from one another, and one half step only in the cases of B and E?

Hello Mr. Green, are you alright? I'm asking seriously. It looks like you have lost weight in the last 6 months. I hope you are not sick. Greetings.

Thank you so much for your videos, they have taught me alot. I struggled with scale degrees and making triads, but now it's second nature.
