Yet another brilliant lesson that has cleared yet another foggy cloud in my brain. I now finally really get what “Substitute/Borrowed/Pivot” means in regard to their “function” within a given chord progression.

Chris, thank you for another helpful lesson. Just a quick thought about inspiration: it's what makes us do difficult things. Without inspiration we don't reach our potential. I want you to know you are inspiring all of us to do what must be done to get closer to that potential. Thank you!

Chris, I love the content & delivery. Question for a possible future upload. How do you balance your own personal musical goals with those musical obligations as a self employed business man? What strategies do you employ to minimise burnout? What are you currently working on to facilitate your own creative goals? You’ve consistently uploaded first class educational materials, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who is curious to learn about your own ambitions/goals for furthering your creativity/tonal palette. A very sincere thank you for the top notch tutorials.

Wow, I must say I’ve never considered that idea as a video subject, but I definitely manage that balance in practice every day. Great idea. I’ll ponder that and stick it on the to do list for video ideas. I’m so glad to be able to bring these videos to you, thanks for being here Mike!

Yes make more lessons like this Chris on which Beatles songs used Pivot chords and borrowed chords. The Beatles and Nirvana often will use the minor i chord, minor iv chord and major VI chord and the major bVII as borrowed chords. Hotel California is a Non-Diatonic chord progression which you can make lessons about which rock pop songs use Non-Diatonic chord progressions

First of all, thank you for sharing these videos Chris. Secondly, the song ‘Something’ changes keys. Is this an example of ‘borrowed chords’?
@curiousguitarist
10 ай бұрын
You bet! "Something" is a bit of a different animal. George Harrison was very fond of leveraging "voice leading" for composition. That first descending line for example is C, CMaj7, C7, F. While this isn't exactly a key change, it does have a non-diatonic descending note. This repeats again in a different key in the pre-chorus. Harrison used this type of mechanism a lot in his songs.

Great lesson! I have a question about your first example. Could that Am in Nowhere Man be considered both a borrowed chord and a substitute chord? I'm guessing it qualifies as a substitute chord because both the major and minor chord share the 1st and 5th, so that satisfies the two tone requirement. But Am can also be considered borrowed because it's from the parallel A minor key? Thanks for making music theory very digestible!

Yes indeed! Many examples of chords outside a key can be seen to use more than one method. Great catch!

Chris, when demonstrating substitute chords you used/spoke the words "pivot chord", and then used a borrowed chord (Am) as your example. Confusing.

So sorry if this was confusing for you. In many cases these instances can be considered in more than one way. My intention was to explain the rules of each and show a simple example, I hope I’ve not left the subject foggy for you!

@@curiousguitarist In addition to the 'pivot chord' mention, my other point is that the inclusion of the chord Am in the key of E, is usually considered a 'borrowed chord' from the parallel E minor-scale i.e. 'borrowing' the minor 4 chord. Based on your definition of a substitute chord being one that shares 2 notes of the chord being substituted, I'd understood this to mean replacing the chord A (notes A C# E) with another diatonic chord from the key e.g. A substituted by chord F#m (notes F# A C#) or chord C#m (notes C# E G#)
