In some way, surrounding oneself with the subtle complexity of lofi hip-hop is similarly relaxing as listening to Adam Neely explaining intricate details of music theory which us semi-laypersons hardly understand.

Never too late to appreciate Jazz, I guess.

Phrygian Chords - Some Of The Best Places To Use Them 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbPLmG89lX8&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcHXARx7a7Ub5lvvhkbSCdWA 

Phrygian Chords are a great chord substitute to have in your vocabulary. It can be used in reharmonizing songs for arrangements or as something to throw in there in solos and comping. In this video, I talk about some of the places where you can apply a Phrygian chord. Some more "out" than others. I demonstrate this using a chord melody of the song "I fall in love too easily" which I then harmonized using a lot of Phrygian, or Dom7thsus4(b9) chords.

I use the arrangement of the song but also talk about applying this type of chord substitution or reharmonization on Stella By Starlight and Night And Day.

Voice Leading - Breaking a Few Rules

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_v3GHmelVY&t=0s&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcFMUtQeI3qbbTI0Vu96-To0&index=10Voice leading is the method you use to create smooth transitions between chords. Often it is described with voice-leading rules that determine how we move specific notes in a chord move to specific note in the next jazz chord. In this video I will explain voice-leading quickly and then give some examples of how you can actually be very creative and create some interesting sounds and new chord voicings by using voice-leading. The lesson also illustrates how you can create some great progressions by breaking some of the rules. There is no reason to be tied down and not be creative!Jazz Harmony quickly becomes a science and research, but it is better to be a little free and also just try out the opposite of what is expected once in a while. In the end it is not about music theory but about what sounds good.Hope you like it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y1qRueuj70&index=1&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcGbyQmZ9N-TYsjd5pCfzYjI

Drop2 voicings is probably one of the most important chord types that we use in jazz guitar. This video is going to demonstrate how you can embellish the melody you play with inner-voice movement and sometimes an extra layer of harmony. 

Exploring ideas like this are great for really understanding how the harmony moves and how each voice is moving. This will give you a great overview of the notes in the chord and also a lot of useful insight in what is possible with a chord voicing.
