Chord Chart PDF at my Patreon: https://bit.ly/2zFwzOO 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 my friends Roger and Dan at GTR Gurus https://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…

Perfect Progressions
Analyzing the Chords from George Harrison’s “Something” – Perfect Progressions #2
Jake Lizzio
After performing in highschool bands and talent shows, I began teaching during my Senior Year in highschool at Crystal Lake South in 2004.
I went on to teach at Piano Trends Music Company in Crystal Lake, and there I began expanding my skills outside of just the guitar and began performing for weddings and private events. After leaving to teach privately, I began recording my students and myself.
This hobby eventually turned into a profession after I acquired the experience and equipment needed to produce quality audio and music. My goal now is to provide the highest quality online music lessons available and within reach to all who are interested.
