A New Way to Play G C Em D (Plus 3 Bonus Chords) 

This lesson made me wish there was a "really, really like" button to push. Thank you! This was fantastic.

I rarely comment, but Bro!! You opened up the whole fretboard in one day… I've been playing a while and was feeling stuck... This lesson opened my eyes to the ways chords are built and now that I've got repertiour up and down the neck, it feels like I jumped forward significantly in abilities. One of the best online lessons I've encountered… thank you for putting out thoughtful and unique content. 🤙

Been playing for 40 years!! This lesson just opened a whole new repertoire of melodious chords to embellish my style and musical inventory. 🎸

What a great lesson. Clearly explained, by a great teacher. You are so inspiring. I'm sure your wife and kids are proud of you. If only all teachers would be as good as you, but they don't have that certain magic. Loves of love, and appreciation, coming from over the pond.

I love exploring chords like this in different positions. It's also fun to count on my fingers and figure out what a chord is after I've found it. I also find myself hearing songs that use those chords and having epiphany, almost getting inside the head of the artist/composer as they chose those chords in their creative process. Sometimes progressions that sound ultra-complex turn out to be just similar or identical shapes in different positions.

Great lesson. As Les Paul said in his 80’s, “The guitar is still teaching me new things “

Man this is one of the more fruitful online short lessons that I’ve had in a while…I’ve been messing around with these progressions nonstop over the last day I love the back-and-forth leapfrogging, descending, and droning on the open G, I appreciate this lesson, Subbed! God bless:)

Kyle Thank you so much for your great work. I am playing back up guitar in a church band and always looking for more creative ways to play the chords thank you thank you.

The open G is magic. I just learned ‘Blacked Out’ by Chris Young by ear and the simplicity allows you to add in 3rds, 7ths, 9ths, etc when you want.

Great lesson and lots of fun to play. Would love to see more videos like this of other chord voicing progressions. Thanks!!

50 + years later I'm still discovering new chord progressions. Thanks Kyle.

Now we know what happened to Jesse Pinkman he became a guitar teacher

Thi s is great, I have been looking for this breakdown for sometime now. I think you are the first one to show this on YT of all my subscriptions

👍🙏✌ Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland

Thank you for this lesson. I love discovering new ways to play chords especially farther up the fretboard.

Just beautiful and so easy to learn.fantabulous teaching, thanks so much for this.

Wow! Beautiful voicings bro! I always love chords w open strings. Out of ths world! Thank u ❤

Says he plays for wife and kids... subscribed. That's my life

Hi Kyle Scott, you are a magician, your tutorial is really helpful. I'm a beginner guitarist. So you've got a new subscriber. Greetings from France in Europe.

The D chord is actually a Dadd11. Sus chords replace the 3rd with either the 2nd or 4th. Your D shape includes the f# so it’s an add11

Thanks bro. I've being looking for new ways to play basic G & now you've shown me. Thanks A lot I love playing religious Gospel songs & I've being looking for new methods. The cords sound lovely. Watching from Papua New Guinea South Pacific. 🇵🇬 👌👍

I actually came to discover these chord shapes last year and like you say it injects a bit of freshness in your playing and discover new fingerings

Awesome video 👍

Wunderbar - from Germany!

Man ...I was having a kinda shityy day...but this thing made me smile ...I learnt something new Nd I felt joy ...thanks

You’re a great teacher. I’m definitely gonna try out these new chord shapes today.

Beautiful Kyle! Unique and very well demonstrated. Thank you for sharing!

Great tips Kyle, those chords sound great. The tone of your guitar sounds awesome too.

I love to play chords in a different way. Thank you for sharing this.

This is so cool you made me sound so Rich! (Pun intended) Learned something new today... keep them coming Thank you😊

This made me question everything I have been doing, thank you. Subscribed and liked.

Yeah G has been like an old friend for years 😂. One of my go-to, default chords - as are the other chords in this tutorial. Great useful doable video, thanks. I'd love to see more of these moveable chords. Subscribed 👍

This one was easy, thought I haven't thought about that earlier with the open strings. So, again, very helpful!

I love the way you describe this lesson, I have played this progression, but the only issue I had with it when I played was the string noise as there is a lot of sliding, but playing them in a song the notes give an amazing detour of these simple chords. Love it.

Your wife and kids are probably your favorite audience and fans! Thanks for the lesson! I'm going to see if I can impress my wife and dog.

Nice voicings.

A very nice little lesson. Some good substitutes for the common bar chords as well as many of these look like stripped down bar chords. On another note - I'm gonna subscribe for a while mainly because I like your laid back approach - you're like a three-to-five-beer-buzz guitar teacher.

Thank you.

Looks fun to play around with, cheers.

You are crazy awesome!!!!! Thank you! Your slightly mischevious smile is legend now!!

beautiful progression, thanks for sharing Kyle!🙏🏻

Thank you Kyle! This opened up a new perspective for chords in the key of G. Your video on chords in the key of D was also amazing! Thanks!

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

You are a wonderful soul, Blessings to you 🙏

This is just what I was looking for. I never knew what to do to open up more of the fretboard, and now I do. Thank you so much for making this video and showing those glorious chords. I'll be playing better because of this. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, you presented some really useful ideas to build with.

Definitely sounds great and an awesome lesson

Great lesson! Love these new shapes!

Beautiful, thanks Kyle,Very Simple, but I love it 😮😮😊

Great lesson…will help me a lot in my worship guitar playing.Thank You!

Amazing work! Thanks for your content! 👍

Man…wow! Thank you so much for this amazing video.

Beautiful indeed! Edit...I already commented the same thing. I guess losing my memory allows me to enjoy the forgotten things as fresh and new like the 1st time. I look forward to hearing this again for the 1st time.

Nice. Very nice. Keep up the with these alternate chords. Great work!

Wow, this will be a break through for me! Thanks

Thanks, this really sounds great.

Here we go,my new song is coming, I was so needed of a new sound

Beautiful

great lesson

Love this! I am going to practice this!!

Very nice. Thanks!

Just awesome Thank you

Absolutely beautiful ❤

That was so beautiful

Thank you so much. This IA is beautiful and very helpful 😅❤

Pretty cool! Should keep me busy for a while, coaxing my fingers into the right positions. Thanks!

When you first start playing you say to yourself, if I could just play that I’d be happy. But then you learn it and soon it’s not enough and that goes on and on. Luckily it never ends the possibility are endless.🤘

Game changing lesson! Keep them coming!!

Dave Matthews been doing it this way since day 1 ...... love it !!

Good stuff , have to dive into that

Mercy...good, so good

Thanks!

Great Lesson 🔹🔸

❤❤ i love ur guitar lessons thank u sir

Glad I dropped in!

technically that 'Dsus' is a 'Dadd4' or 'Dadd11', just like the Fadd9,. It's not a suspension (sus4 or sus2) because you've still got the third (F#) in there.

Hallo Kyle :) thank you very much for showing different ways how to play sounds amazing 🎸🤘😎

Very helpful...thank you...been stuck for years...too stubborn to look for help I guess until now.

Nice. I've been playin for 30 years and I love using these chords. I like to slip in a lower G chord of 3x043x sometimes. The open drone note switches from the 'G' to a 'D', but still sounds fine. Thanks! (Liked, subscribed & commented!)

Like so many I have just learned a whole new range of sounds using really simple shapes. If only U Tube had been around in 1966 when I began faffing!

Very, very nice!

Nice Chords!

Yes......God knows that it was time for change.... Ty❣️

maybe new to people who have never played those shapes. It's the maj and min bar chord based on the A string minus the redundant root note in the middle. Very clear lesson and w/o using the open G you can move those around anywhere you want but the G certainly does provide a kind of continuity throughout those chord movements. Very common idea to retain one note that rings throughout several chords in a row. Learn it, people! :)

Thank you. Great new voices options.

Yessir. It IS gorgeous. ❤

❤️ it! Thank you
