This is the second chord analysis video I've done, the first being Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man", which was also conveniently in C and contains many similar elements to this progression. One bit of music theory and composition I forgot to mention in this video is the lovely movements that occur within the Eb-G/D-C change. In addition to the borrowed chord interpretation, there is a lot analyze just with the moving voices. The beginning of this song is essentially the bass playing down the notes of the C Minor scale beginning from the 4th (F, Eb, D, C), yet our song is firmly in the key of C Major. In addition, the change from Eb to G/D gives nice contrary motion, with the high Eb resolving down a halfstep to D, while Bb resolves upward a halfstep to B, before the conclusion to C Major.
If you're rusty on your theory, here are the videos you would need to know in order to make sense of this video-

Please check out my friends Roger and Dan at GTR Gurus www.gtrgurus.com/ especially if you were looking for custom guitars or luthier work done. They're really nice guys and provided me with the beautiful acoustic guitar I used for this video. I'm releasing an acoustic fingerstyle piece soon and will be using this guitar to record it.
My Patreon supporters are the reason this channel will be uploading videos for at least the next year. They have my appreciation and I hope yours! A special thank you to...

Your lesson made me fall in love with this song, and, as a result, I chose this as my first dance at my wedding. So despite never having met, never knowing me at all, you inadvertently hand a hand in my wedding day.
Keep the great lessons coming!

Could we see like 20 more Beatles analyses

George, "I think it needs a simple bass line". Paul, "no problemo".

The bass playing on Something is absolutely incredible. Just beautiful.

Something else that people don't understand about music analysis: it's a way to understand how to expand your expressive vocabulary. Consider a parallel example: the average person has a vocabulary of about 20,000 words. However, authors tend to have much larger vocabularies... For example, James Joyce used over 30,000 unique words in Ulysses. By having a more expressive vocabulary you have greater control how you present your ideas.
Do you need a larger expressive vocabulary? Not necessarily (Hemingway wasn't less expressive with the more limited vocabulary presented in his works), however, knowing the range of possibilities allows you to make the choice of limiting or expanding your vocabulary as you choose.

âYouâre not supposed to analyze musicâ
Guess what!? The Beatles âanalyzedâ music. They knew, and many occasions admitted plainly, that their chord and melodic writing was inspired by understanding Bach, Mozart, Chopin and other great classical composers.
And... it clearly shows in their results. No one âcomposesâ music theory. But understanding how music works allows a level of craftsmanship that is unmistakable.
I like your grandmaâs recipe example. Another might be carpentry. Maybe you could just figure out how to make a chair from scratch. But having knowledge of woodworking, and studying the work of a master, would probably allow you to build a much more sturdy and even beautiful chair with many details you wouldnât have known how to do without that higher understanding.
Music IS feeling and emotion... but itâs also science, math, and precision.
And thatâs why itâs so freaking cool.
Good job breaking down one of my all time favorite songs!!! đđťđđť

This is awesome. I loved you in Shazam too dude

The Beatles loved to keep you guessing what chord you're in. It's one of the reasons they could write simple songs with a magic sound to them.

We need more of this, great analysis, you're great at teaching. Thank you.

I'm glad you commented on the analysing vs. feeling "debate", I agree with you 100%! And the Newton quote is apt in my opinion, because it relates very well to some people's perception of science in general.
I've had multiple people tell me that they feel trying to understand something somehow takes away from it... and I can see where they're coming from, but I couldn't disagree more. To me, understanding why a sunset has these awesome colors, or indeed why a certain chord progression makes people feel a certain way, makes me appreciate it even more .

Beatles did the same. They âborrowedâ from anything and everything that sounded good to them. Giftted listeners make gifted composers. Their âanalysisâ was aural.

That is an amazing video. The most different angle on the creation of music that I have seen on you tube and one of the most musically intelligent.

Dropping the vocals an octave -- Good choice; not sure if anyone has noticed but Harrison's natural range is somewhere in the stratosphere.

I'm new to this feed and I have to say I am impressed with how well you are able to explain theory and application. I've been trying to understand key changes and borrowed chords forever now. Your videos have opened a new world to me. Thank you! And please do keep analyzing the music as you are 100% right about it making us better musicians. Also, I love the fact that I can close my eyes for a second and hear Jeff Goldblum talking music theory. Love it! Best guitar instructional channel by far!

Nice work! I enjoy paying attention to changes in any medium, and how they affect our consciousness. Key change up a whole tone, bright and enthusiastic, etc. Well done!

Love these perfect progressions videos. Keep them coming. Cheers.

'Beware of Darkness' has some gorgeous unexpected chord changes.

Love how passionate you are when analyzing these songs. Makes you appreciate something that would have probably gone unnoticed. Learning tons from you. Grateful to have found you. Big thanks, Jake!

I, for one, appreciate your explanation of this iconic song. Through it, I am learning why I am playing the specific chord progressions and what makes them work together. Continue, please and thanks.

Wasn't "Something" released on Abbey Road? You said White Album in the beginning
