Hi Troy Thanks for a great lesson. Your advice for chord substitions has been such a game changer for me in the last few weeks. I'll start working on this song today. I'm so happy to have found your site.
learning to play for about 11 months and still going through the cords tbh it the first song iv been able to play thank you so much making it so easy,,,Is it posible to make a e major cord with your anchor finger on ye high e thanks
Thanks for watching! I rigged those up myself using some art lights but I have also done similar ones with LED strips from Amazon like these - amzn.to/3nZdFJG Hope that helps
You have over complicated a beautiful song...4 finger chords are totally unessasry...beginners are now going to avoid this song...terrible advice!! I've played this song for years by the way...
Thanks for watching! I don't know if you watched the whole video, but I do show the traditional ways to play Emin and C major too. However, I think these alternatives are awesome for beginners! I have taught for a lot of years and have had great success with beginners learning this way. Even though they are 4 note chords, by anchoring the ring finger and pinky, you are only needing to move 2 fingers, which is very simple. Most beginners really struggle with a traditional Cmaj chord, but a Cadd9 is much easier. You can even see comment from a beginner on this video saying just that! The great thing about guitar is there are lots of different ways to play the same thing. What works well for some doesn't for others. Different chord voicings aren't wrong, they are just different. Thanks for watching!
You have over complicated an otherwise beautiful critiquing comment. Three periods (full stops) in a row is totally unnecessary. If a beginner reader sees this comment they will avoid learning learning literacy all together. I've been speaking english my whole life by the way.
I do apologise, I've only taken up English most recently. My opinion is my opinion and I've taught guitar for many years. My point was that 4 finger chords are something that comes with practice, not off the bat.....sorry, just couldn't help myself!!
No problem! Like I said, there’s lots of ways to do things on guitar and a lot of it is personal preference. Personally, I find this method to be great for beginners because of those anchor points but your experience may be different. Whatever works for you personally is the best way to do it!
