Top Comments of this video!! :3
This is why you're the best.
Nobody else has EVER told me that 7 is flat by default, min is only referring to the 3rd and maj is only referring to the 7, because it's flat by default!
This is critical information and yet after 3 years of constantly surfing YouTube for guitar videos, I've never even heard anyone HINT at this!
So thank you SO much Jake! Super stoked that you're back!

Of all the music theory content I’ve consumed, this is perhaps the most important, most helpful lesson I’ve encountered. I STILL get tripped up on chord naming. I’ll go back, look things up, study it again and think I’ve finally got it sorted and memorized once and for all, only to find myself under pressure in the heat of a moment, getting confused and unable to remember for certain what the convention is 😫. You presented this info so well, and it’s so well organized, that I may be able to keep things straight once and for all. I’m saving this video for future reference and study and I’m considering ordering your full book. Keep up the great work. Sincere thanks! 🙏💛🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It would've taken Rick Beato 9 years to explain this and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as clean, clear, impactful and punchy. Which is no knock on him, he's great for a million things, but you have a way of presenting piles of information in logical, sequential, digestible bites that stick the first time and stay. Baby Beato is back, baby! This was a great review for me and probably a revelation and lifting of the veil for so many others.

I have 30 years of experience as a musician and had many teachers and read many books and in 20 minutes you explained chord theory to me that finally can say I understand it and it makes sense…especially minor 6th chords that always confused me thank you!! And don’t you dare leave YouTube again we need you lol

Great video Jake! Amazing presentation and editing. I used to get confused when I would read that the 9th can be sharpened or flattened but the 11th can only be sharpened and the 13th can only be flattened. It all became clear when I realized a "flattened 11th" is a third and a "sharpened 13th" is a flat seven. Light bulb moment.

The first class of chords taught here, the default chords, are all DOMINANT chords. They are easily built by starting on the 5th note of a major scale (called the DOMINANT) and skipping notes. Keeping this in mind, you can envision every extension or number in a chord label (7, 9, 11, etc) as referring to the mixolydian scale, which is also called the DOMINANT scale. I still don't know why this is the way it is though lol.
