6/29/23 update!
I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for RU-vid. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free RU-vid Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on RU-vid.
I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
This episode teaches how to move open-position chords up the neck to create new "voicings" of chords. Guitar players do this to create new tones and options when playing with a second guitar player who IS playing the open-position chords. Also, these up-the-neck chords are useful in band situations where open-position chords can be too boomy or jangly to fit the song.

This is what should be taught to a beginner the day they form their first chord. It illustrates what the fret board (WWHWWWH )chord recipe MEANS on the fret board and gives us newbies a a tool for playing along with other musicians...SOLID GOLD Jonathan. Thank you.

That I’m doing so it would help me through my journey battling a couple cancers that suddenly became an issue. Your lessons were part of my medicine. After 4 years now I’m cancer free. I also have learned enough guitar to go back through my lessons. This one was a big boost, once I learned the regular chords . Thank you sir.

Holy cow!! I have been looking for you all my life!! My guitar "career" started when I was just a wee thing and my uncle taught me an open G chord. Showed me a little country/western strumming pattern, and I have been attempting to learn to play ever since. I can't learn all the other ways for whatever reason - you just made this a billion times easier!! I hear so much creative music in my head, but while I can pick it out on the piano (though I play classical) it is always something that will sound better on the guitar. I left the lessons on the guitar alone, because the piano lessons "killed" that creative streak. Your method is FANTASTIC for someone like me! You show where to go without losing the shape and THAT keeps the door open for creativity! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!! *subscribed for life!!* (Or at least as long as RU-vid's life lol)

@sadieyoung1801 10 лет назад

Wow! Not only are you a great teacher who really gets HOW to educate, but you really make me feel confident as a guitar player. I'll be sure to let the world know you were the one who taught me my skills, when I take the world by storm! Thank you so much!

@MovieMaker309 3 года назад

I don't class myself as a beginner, but self teaching and improving via youtube (until lockdown is lifted and I can afford a local teacher) I do move chords around a bit because they sound good, but I had no idea how to find out what these chords are. The example using D major moving it up to become G then A, is a real light bulb moment!! Many thanks☺

@poewitx 3 года назад

I was wondering if we move the d “shape” up to the first fret if that’s a C chord? But I’m with you, old vid but this guy is really good, I’ve watched 3 of his vids so far, the on the blues is pretty cool. At 62 I’m just starting to learn, it’s my retirement plan, and you tube sure helps a whole lot🎸🎸🎸

I LOVE THIS GUY. These are the most useful lessons - it's hard to find stuff at this level. I know my chords, I know some scales, I need help with the difference between where I'm at and a "normal" pop use of a guitar.

@jkehew1 5 лет назад

I appreciate that, Mr. FTF!! By the way, I just wrote my first guitar book! It goes along with my D-C-G Trick video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3_qpDtfLgs8.html And I made a NEW D-C-G Trick video to go along with the book - you can see it and buy the book here: www.song-bike.com.

@josephh151 7 лет назад

Thank you Sir, of all the online videos,I learn the most from your videos. Most of my progression of learning guitar is all your fault in a good way. Again thanks for teaching the way you do. I have learned so much, my wife is even impressed. But litterly being a basement guitar player with no one to play with I have come along way.

@TooTachy 9 лет назад

This lesson was utter perfection! Thank you so much for providing me with a warm, inviting , and encouraging way of learning to play guitar. I don't have enough to afford lessons, and I've been trying to teach myself for over a year, but your lessons have taught me so much already. I subscribed to you and truly hope you make more videos because you are an excellent teacher! Thank you!

@stevedemotte1923 10 лет назад

Jonathan, just watched your Beginner Up-the-Neck Chords episode. Fasinating sound through the use of the E major grip to play A and B, especially leaving the #1 & #2 strings open. I experimented using the pinky to depress the #2 string at 7 for A and 9 for B. The variation (open/depressed) on this string provides another unique sound. Good work on your instruction.

@Thedudenurse 8 лет назад

Fantastic video! I have been playing over 10 years but never really got into the mechanics, for lack of a better term, of music. The how and why chords are what they are. Loved the lesson!

Keep up the great work....much appreciated! - Mike

Just wanted to let you that you’re fantastic and I enjoy watching and learning from you. Are you still making lesson videos at this time. If so, please let me know. Thanks.

Jonathan, I only discovered you recently, and I'm most glad that I did. Your ability to simplify and not make what seems to be daunting or overwhelming less so is truly wonderful. Thank you for putting yourself out there. In a perfect world I would hire you as a private teacher, but I've not the luxury to do so. Thanks again!
