How to Transpose Songs on the Fly!
🕑 Added 2020-05-26 19:22:08 +0000 UTCHello friends,
welcome back to Swiftlessons for another music theory guitar tutorial. In today's session we'll discuss how to use our knowledge of the major scale and notes on the fretboard to quickly transpose major chord progressions. We'll begin by reviewing a movable position of the major scale, before learning to transpose a Beatles classic. Let's get started!
Final Tip
Generally, each of the eight notes of the major scale is harmonized as a specific type of chord, creating a set pattern of chord types: Maj, Min, Min, Maj, Maj, Min, Dim, Maj. But because chord progressions can be formed by harmonizing other scales and modes, we often see "borrowed chords." For example, it's popular to feature minor harmonies for the 4th or 5th intervals, or a dom7 on the typically minor 3 chord.

Great! Succinct lesson for describing how to transcribe key(s)... Now I'll have to go back and watch it again for it to really stick. ;-)
Thanks man! Love you videos. Easy to follow and have learned some great stuff from you. Keep on teaching us.
Nice and simple. Thanks!
