Hah! I play all the chords right, Sunshine. Just not necessarily in the right order. (Wiggles glasses and considers the possibility that the reader of this just might never have heard of Eric Morecambe). 😎🤪
@@MrFlyagaric 😂 The thinking woman's crumpet. I went with a few friends to see him whem he was guest conductor of the Liverpool Symphony Orchestra. He was interesting and funny and had more than his fair share of charisma. I read that the Morcambe and Wise appearance was unrehearsed 😲
Nice job again Sean & kudos to you for giving Chris a mention. Stumbled onto his channel a while back & the way he explains theory & the fretboard is very relatable. Like yourself he explains the importance of knowing how to build chords & also using triads all over the fretboard. Cool stuff. Keep up the great work. Regards from Australia. Phil
It's always great to watch your vid. Just those little things that make playing more interesting. Keep on doing what your doing. It's like having a mate having a chat about music. Thanks again. All the way from OZ.
What an awesome chord! The sus4 in the minor 11 is exactly the same as the tension in the V7 chord, so I agree it has a classier feel but accomplishes the exact same thing. So cool!
Fun fact that most musicians don’t know: Rob Thomas spent 2 years in a mental institution as Sinbads silent lackey. That’s where he got the inspiration for “Smooth”
Wayzier. I like making things wayzier. Just faster better. I’m gonna make it Wayzier. It’s like the guy with the chocolate bar falling into the guy with the jar of peanut butter. 😂. Good stuff sir.
Love your channel man probably my favorite been watching since I've started playing great lesson! What would you say is your favorite song to play or your best song you're the most proud of?
Love your videos! I've got a quick question though, I'm a lefty who plays upside down (a righty guitar just upside down, not restrung, self taught, picked up an acoustic full body with no pick guard so I had no idea I was playin the thing upside down.. too stubborn to re-learn hehe) so for me it's easier to barre the entire 3rd fret, then hold the low E, D & G strings in the 5th. Would this still technically be a "fuller" Am11? Looks like you're muting the A string, so you have 4 notes on EDGB strings: A(1st), G(7th), C(minor 3rd) and the D(11th). Adding the A string and the High E string gives you another C and G in different octaves. (from low E: A[5],C[3],G[5],C[5],D[3],G[3]) I get so confused with naming these things.. Like I was told also on my regular B chord when I barre the entire 2nd and have DGB in the 4th, if I play all 6 strings it's a F#6sus or B/F#, which confuses the heck outta me cause just excluding the Low E, that high E is also an F#... So why is one a B and adding the same note already in there at a lower octave change it's chord name?! Lol! I kind-of understand why it'd be B/F# because the lowest-octave note isn't the root, but the other name... not at all.. I have more examples but I don't wanna make this a long winded novel, so I'll end it there... I guess no matter what it still sounds good so I'm gonna call it an Am11 :)
Dear handsome guy, the 2 5 1 a11 D9 thing is very sweet, honestly I stoled your a min 11 chord for acoustic, thx btw😉 Why do you think a closed door looks better with your finger in between? 🤣 Love your little pro tips lessons - your trip with Andrea was so nice to watch! Greetz and cheers from Nürnberg, Bavaria🎸🎶✌
Hey Sean, heres a question:Whats your opinion on full bands doing open mics? Ive recently joined a fairly established local band that can get gigs on their own but I pitched in the idea of playing an open mic (4 songs) a month before our gig (12 songs) so that we can gauge each other out on stage. The open mic and the gig went really well. Question is,would fairly established band benefit from open mics or is it a waste of time since we're already getting our own gigs?
Hey my thumb nail is purple. Closed the door i was installing on my thumb..... Hinge side....... So then i reinstalled the door because it mysteriously got a large hole in it. Bruised thumb and 200 dollars later .... Job well done lmao
Aah, to hear someone say 'I don't really like the sound of a 5 to a 1' reminds me of the feeling of relief I had when my therapist told me it was okay to not like my brother :)
@5:44. At 71 yrs. old I no longer care about what the girls are looking for. However, I care immensely about the content of this video because it is AWESOME! kevin O'Rourke
I thought Kobe Bryant shooting those free throws after rupturing his achilles was the bravest thing I'd ever see. But you powering through after crushing your finger is upper echelon. Respect.
Five years ago I lost my fretting hand ring finger nail to a rogue section of steel pipe. Lots of open tunings for months after that, and then the nail grew back funny and the fingerboard side gets ingrown and I have to dig it out. Yep respect. Yes it hurt so frigging bad
These days I tend to do the thumb over the back and 'grab' the chord, like moving the F#m up to the 5th fret for Am. Full barr chords make my hand ache after a short while. 8( I can get some interesting chords that way also. I think the key is don't be afraid to try new things 8) Good stuff Sean! 8) --gary
The transition from the Amin11 chord to the dominant 9 is a little difficult for me. For some reason its hard for me to bar just a couple strings and not just the lowest fret of the chord I'm playing. Something to work on for sure, just don't have that muscle memory yet.
I don’t know that voicing, but I use 5 other voicings because minor 11s are insanely easy, especially up high where the frets are cramped. Literally barre all 6 strings and it’s a minor 11. The A & D rooted ones are almost as easy. And they sound lush.
On a somewhat more serious note... The A string note under the root node of the chord is the fourth, so the question is - why mute the A string, instead of simply grabbing it in addition to the 11th?
