this lesson was really useful and applicable for me esp when u said, "for those transitioning from accoustic to electric guitar". awesome, thank you v much brian! please do more of this 🙏🏼

@aaronr5398 Год назад

Yes! I definitely needed this for next Sunday morning to help differentiate from the other parts being played.

@deut3168 Год назад

Good video. As someone with a classic rock background, moving to the higher voicings of power chords was a mindbender at first. It does become 2nd nature pretty quickly if you practice at it and make yourself use those voices. This also helps with lead lines because now you have a reference for the higher octaves in the chord. Take the next step and find the 3rd of the key an you've got lead lines you can always fall back on. When you realize the major and minor pentatonics are all over those voicings, too, then the fretboard becomes a playground.

@jaydenanderson53 Год назад

This method right here is what helped me feel super comfortable with the Nashville numbers system. There are also So many worship songs that use this method to write parts so it’s a nice starting point if there’s not a tutorial out there and there’s no sheet music to be had. Killer lesson

@michaelcrane5070 Год назад

Just sent to one our teens. This'll be a great way for him to start exploring arrangement. Thank you!

@MyguitarteacherCa Год назад

This is why learning CAGED and it's relative minor 7th chords is so important. Also, keep in mind when you play high, you may prefer to arpeggiate (play one string at a time) as opposed to strumming. These higher chords are also good for doing swells. Also, don't be afraid to explore these guys up around the 10th to 12fret area too. I do high swells using CAGED up in the 10 fret area all the time and they are heavenly. :) It would be good to have a lesson on how you can pull out the 4's/11's and sus2's from these shapes - I use them all the time and they stand out (since no one else is using them in the band) without being a distraction.

@HappyHermitt 10 месяцев назад

@Raymond-rr5iv Год назад

Generally, I'm an acoustic guitar player, and I've collected a dozen 60s electric guitars. Your electrified presentation dramatically changed the sound in a way that blew the doors off into a different dimension. It just never occurred to me to do that... but I loved the sound. So I'm wondering what's next ? So, Thanks and I definitely subscribed ❤😃👍🎶!!!

@original_pokey8896 Год назад

People under estimate the effect of simplicity in worship and shapes you can move around. Like you mentioned, playing the EG on the 1,2,3, strings will transform the whole band sound. Great video dude. always love your work. These shapes also help for just 'picking' the chords. playing the strings individually for the chords gives space and allows you to build but using the same chords and shapes.

@jordanguill361 Год назад

These triads are great! I like to use them when playing swells or lead when there’s not really a main line for a chorus progression while the rhythm plays the beefier acoustic chords.

@smandez2023 Год назад

As a band member and praise leader at times, I’ve seen this phenomenon where guitarists are always sharing the same “space”. Even at private jams or Bible studies. And while we are praising God (which is really the most important thing), the music can sound a little stale. So why not make it better? One of your best tutorials ever! Praise music can sound so huge if folks simply learn and use these techniques. ❤

@jairepp Год назад

Really good video

@SonofsamSJF Год назад

This was a great video. I struggle with rhythm sections and never know what’s best to play. I find the “cowboy” chords way too muddy so this is a great help!

@sparkyguitar0058 Год назад

What kind of guitar makes muddy cowboy chords? Volume and tone and lite picking style should clean it up.

@worshiptutorials Год назад

With clean tones and arpeggiated picking it sounds great. But with bigger gain and wet effects it can turn into a hot mess pretty quick - I approached this mostly from a perspective of playing bigger rhythm tones with heavy wet effects (which is pretty commonly used in modern P&as music).

@danielgallardo7249 Год назад

Really depends on the context. If you are holding out chords instead of strumming, open strings chords can work very well.

@sparkyguitar0058 Год назад

@@worshiptutorials I don't know, my L P with 496/500 pups can instantly get dirty with hard picking. My main guitar a Strat with L Sensors is the 1 that's always clean.

@SonofsamSJF Год назад

@@sparkyguitar0058 Sorry, what I was getting at was making the mix a bit too muddy with the acoustic and myself playing the same types of chords. And having some different chord to play will be a great help.

Well this covers about 90% of the key of G. You can move these shapes up and down to cover keys like F through B or so.

What makes this "better" than playing the same progression in any other position? It's the same 4 chords in exactly same order. My theory is if you actually want better get away from 4 chord progressions and get away from 4\4 signature.

We used to do a lot of guitar lesson videos like this on the channel years ago. At one point it sort of felt like we had covered everything we wanted to, but we've realized a couple things: 1. There is quite a bit more lesson type content we could still make. And 2. Because those original videos are so old, not many people see them regularly, so we've decided to sort of re-make them in different (and more high quality) ways. Here is a playlist of the lesson type videos - although I think there are quite a few that are missing from this list that we've made: ru-vid.com/group/PL1D618734E4D01401
