This is such powerful information, and explained so simply and clearly as always. I'm going to be referring back to this video a lot to learn all these chord shapes. This is video and your explanation of the CAGED system unlocked a deeper understanding of the fretboard for me. Thank you for making such high quality educational content!

Your ability to teach theory in such a practical and applicable way is second to none! Thanks Chris.

@curiousguitarist День назад

Of course! I appreciate that, Steve. Thank you.

@deastman2 День назад

This was extremely helpful to me! As someone who had ten years of piano lessons while growing up, I have a pretty good understanding of music theory and also of what I’m lacking on guitar. I only had a few months of guitar lessons as a teenager and have been completely self taught for the past almost 40 years. I’m very comfortably noodling melodic lines around the fretboard but have always been frustrated that my chord vocabulary was so much more limited than on piano. I can see now that I never really progressed much beyond barre chords, and that I need to put in some rigorous practice and study of triad and shell chord voicings. Thank you so much!

@Dragon34th 13 часов назад

You said the basic C, E, A, D are not flexible and can't be moved across the neck? Actually that's wrong because they all are :) I've seen many beautiful examples of it - same shape, same fingering, different place up the neck, they just get called something else and there are many songs based on this flexibility.

@curiousguitarist 9 часов назад

Great context. This lesson is meant as a basic learning curve for building a basic chord library and is not exhaustive. But yeah, tons of cool things you can do with a decent amount of experimentation and trial and error!

@tone-glide2402 День назад

Ya think after a lifetime of playing that you would know just about everything .., then.. you realize that you don't. Great lesson! And did ! mention I love Triads!

@curiousguitarist День назад

Ha! As do I! Great to have you here TG!

@LeeFKoch 17 часов назад

Once again, Chris, you have helped to make my journey as a guitarist easier! Thanks for this overview of the essential chord types! Knowing how flexible the fretboard is, can be pretty daunting (how will I ever learn all the notes/chords?). So your video really helps to make learning my way around seem actually doable. I was relieved to realize, that I already know how to play and use the first 3 types (though I'm not yet totally comfortable playing the power chords with the root on the D and G strings). And I'm still working on my triads and shell voicings.

@curiousguitarist 9 часов назад

So happy to help, Lee! Glad you're here.

@abroda9601 14 часов назад

Possibly the greatest guitar lesson ever graced you tube. I commented on your previous caged video regarding the reality of caged shapes and those that are actually useful. This video just smacks you with these are the chord shape types that are useful and how they can be tweaked to give you many more variances. Such a brilliant video, if ever there were nominations for most useful guitar tutorial ever on you tube!!

@hansvandermeulen5515 13 часов назад

I have a book with 15000 (!) chords in there. My favorite chord, Bbmaj7#11 (first position, the #11 is an open 1st string) is not in there.

@curiousguitarist 5 часов назад

Ha! You should write the next book: The 15,000 and ONE, chords you need to know! I love Maj7#11...that's Lydian~

@PR-BEACHBOY День назад

Hi Chris, I really appreciate your teaching and style of teaching. Aren’t there more permutations of the “G Cowboy” chord? Ie, “G-11” or just playing the first string at the 3rd fret etc? Hope I’m not being a pain.

@curiousguitarist День назад

Not at all! In these lessons I try to keep the variables low so the cognitive attachment is higher. And ultimately, while there are definitely a few more variations for the cowboy chords, it's the moveable libraries that are so important. But I think this might be a great video idea... "How much can you get our of the open chords!?" Writing this one down! Thanks!

@Jimbob-hp6ud 8 часов назад

you should make clip abt intervals on fretboard which means finding steps from the root in order to build chords or scales.

I group chords into 4 main sections : Section 1: triads - major, minor, sus2,sus4, aug, dim, Section 2: 7th chords major6, minor 6, dom7, maj7, min7, min7b5, full dim, minmaj7 Section 3 upper extensions : maj- min, dom 9th, 11th ,13th Section 4: alterations of all the previous chords I use a fraction of all these chords in my playing lol

@curiousguitarist День назад

Love this comment! And hey, what I always told our kids growing up... "It's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it!"

@smoothbuddha7212 День назад

@@curiousguitarist very true. Guitar is so vast , it’s a universe , just recently I’ve been falling in love with the idea of focusing on doing the basics really well. Like basic chords and strumming and rhythm. It’s these basics that comprise 90% of our playing but are often overlooked in favour of more flashy techniques and soloing. Everything has a place but there’s a lot to be said for being proficient and doing the basics really well

I bought a chord book in the 1970s, and it has over 7000 chords. The book is titled 7488 Guitar Chords by Jay Arnold. Big orange book. $59.99 online.

Looks like power chord follow the Pentatonic scale, right?

@curiousguitarist 5 часов назад

I'm not sure I understand the question, but you can use the pentatonic scale along with power chords for sure! If that's not what you were asking, try again, I want to make sure I get you a good answer!

@SingleMaltMac Час назад

@@curiousguitarist Sorry for my lack of detail. When you were going through the fingering for power cords, as we go up and down the fretboard, it looks like the power chords finger positions appear to follow the pentatonic scale. Not sure if that is a consistent thing no matter what key. Is that accurate? Thanks for the response!

This was a good videos lesson its what Joe Pass does in his teach about "Line Cliche" by moving one finger of a chord step wise down or up to create a new chord. You forget to add in Slash Chords in the 6 Essential chord types. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Beach Boys use Slash chords and Line Cliche. Watch this video Chris to learn about this technique to make your own video lesson about it click here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hCuzsgxnpB8.html

@waynegram8907 8 часов назад

@@curiousguitarist You haven't made a video lesson the way pink floyd uses Slash Chords. They pick ONE note out of the 7th chord and move the note down or up by step wise motion, its somewhat like a Line Cliche. Its a different way of using Slash chords to make a video lesson about it.
