For anyone fighting barre chorrds, thinking you wont be able to do it. I required a ton of strength when practicing. After a few weeks it became more about technique, and I barely require much strength at all now to create them. Keep practicing.
@@tkalsnv Yes! Keep going! I wish more muse-tubers shared their journeys with their fans, because Id love to hear how long it took for them to be comfortable enough to teach etc. But really, barre chords are purely technique and muscle memory just like the rest of them. You'll get it.
@@SexyCatluvrTHIS! And also the frets are closer together so fingers 3 and 4 fit more naturally with less stretch required. Way, WAY easier to get clear.
You're literally the only teacher I can watch. I've been trying to learn guitar off and on for year but keep losing track. I love how you have the levels laid out, and just appreciate the way you teach and structure the content so much.
This may help a lot of people watching also. Bar chords “shapes” in theory, will all ways be represented by the exact string they’re on so E shapes for E strings, A shapes for A strings, D shapes for D strings… that alone is half the battle learn your strings and caged system. Thanks Kevin
hey Kevin. You are really incredible. You explain stuff soooooooo well. I always had a struggle with knowing in what order I should learn how to play guitar and your channel does that PERFECTLY! Thanks
Thank you so much, I was kind of stuck in my journey, but this helped me! Just wish that I picked up the guitar before turning 28 😅 But.. it's never to late 🎉
Just spent the morning watching a whole bunch of guitar videos as I start to get back into it. This is by far one of the best - good stuff man. 'CAGED system made easy' is also a great one.
@@kevinnickensif you do that start with the drone, circular breathing then move onto the sounds. If you teach a sound before the circular breathing do the dingo because that's the easiest one to transition into circular breathing when starting
sax player here, playing guitar since almost 1 year now, i understand a lot of music theory, and this just got added to my guitar knowledge now! it made a lot of sense for me, thank you a lot :)
The moral of the story is learn your intervals. Knowing what the 7th,9th,11th,13th, etc is so helpful to become a better musician. Btw guitar puberty… I love it. As a pedal steel player primarily we most always play broken or partial chords. When you do this the same partial chord can be used over many chords. Great video man.
Very cool. I just want to mention on the 6the string maj7 barre chord there's no reason to mute the 1st string, since it's just the root note, and the normal 5th can be played with pinky easily on the 5th string, so no need to mute that either if we're talking about full chords. Same thing with the min7, which is even easier since almost all notes can be played with a first finger barre across all strings. Muting those strings is fine as a personal choice in a given context, but pedagogically people should know all the notes available in a given position. My 2 cents.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment about the speed of the video. I probably focus on the speed and pacing more than anything else so it’s cool to see you notice that
(11:22 PM on a Saturday night: you were cracking Dad jokes.) I started following your tutorials over six months ago, intending to stick with the program. Instead I started practicing the same eight chords, tried to learn songs that were often too hard for me (despite your good advice) and ended up setting the guitar aside for longer and longer periods, still only knowing eight chords and pieces of half a dozen songs. Finally, I set my guitar out on a stand, and it started calling to me. My fingers hurt while I re-establish my calluses, but this time I am going to stick the program, learn the theory, learn my scales, and become a guitarist.
“There are no wrong notes… just dissonant sounding notes and pleasing sounding notes” I can’t remember who said this originally but my friend and mentor Paul Franklin told me this and it opened my eyes. I share this because of that infinite amount of chord extensions and partial chords.
Immediately subscribed, you are really good at teaching, I like your teaching as straight to the point and not beating around the bush, please do more of these tutorials, thanks for sharing your guitar knowledge.🙂
One thing I learned was you can just move the first 7 basic chord shapes up a fret or two if you struggle with barre chords. They work similar to notes in scales in the sense that sometimes you'll move one fret, and other times two frets for it to sound good. There's a lot of chords, but there's only a few shapes to memorise. The hard part is getting the finger placement right which comes with practice. And my personal philosophy with music is it's all about rhythm. Rhythm is the only thing that matters. And another thing is "there are no bad notes", which I sort of agree with. Sometimes I like to use notes that sound completely off key just because they're weird. It's all subjective anyway and just what we've been conditioned to like, so breaking that mould slightly I think is a great way to invent something new. Really it's all just about practice though, like anything else.
Barre Cords can helps a lot.But I love to use a Capo sometimes.That keep it easy and simple.I do use Barre cords in Church Worship music.Fast and easy to change the key for me.Thanks Bro ❤❤😂
Man I have been watching alot of guitar tutorials trying to get a better grasp of this stuff and your video by far has been the most helpful please continue making these they're amazing and it's very helpful adding where to start and the next steps to take. Love it thanks alot
im getting a (electric) guitar in about a week, i'll try to update my progress day one: just messing around, don't know any chords and i struggle with pressing on the strings a lil bit week one: [soon to come dw]
Thanks! That’s a great idea, I’ve always found it trickier than it seems bc the playing portions of the video con conflict with the background music, but I definitely need to get more creative to find a way to implement background music
You are awesome, Kevin. I spend my weekends on my hobbies as well, what's the alternative, get drunk and throw up, feel.sick the whole week,,,? Nah I'm good w my hobbies
GOD LOVES YOU❤❤GIVE YOUR PROBLEMS TO JESUS❤DO NOT WORRY ❤❤GOD IS THERE WITH YOU ❤❤WE NEED TO REPENT AND BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST ❤❤GOD BLESS❤GOD LOVES YOU❤❤
Aman🙏 I was told this by a friend and I picked up the Bible and started going to church. After I was reborn in the name of Jesus, my whole life has changed. Not in the way you’d think. He’s not my personal genie and I don’t need anything from this world. In him, I’m truly happy 100% of the time, no matter what. I have an eternal inheritance in heaven that no one can ever take away from me. I pray every one can find the same.
Yeah, in fact 95% of all music can be played with level 1 and 2 chords, but for the rest of us who aren’t the Beatles we need some more musical flavors 😂 Thanks for commenting!
The Beatles omitted 7th chords for 95% of their music?? That's not accurate at all. They used them frequently, as well as diminished and augmented and major 6 chords, inverted chords, and more.
Good stuff... err... except the "guitar puberty" bit... oof... abysmal metaphor that! No worries, such a solid and foundational way to think about learning chords I still say thumbs up!
im still learning how to play the guitar and read the chords, what's that x and circles above the chord finger placements? are those the lines I shouldnt play while doing a chord?
What’s with all the mainstream albums??? If you want to learn about real music, let me know. Thanks for the clarification on the basics , needed an intelligent refresher after 45 years of playing.
Cool video , I’m not a fan of calling 7th chords on guitar not without its drop 2 / drop 3 names . Cause it’s even more confusing when i was coming from piano to guitar but solid video 🥲 getting me to click .
Open chord shapes are movable, particularly when broken own to their triad shape. Seventh chords are NOT a type of barre chord, they are a set of intervals like any other chord. You can build seventh chords without barres.
