Stain's guitar lesson #1: Basic Chords

[jjd705]

i swear my fingers are too crooked to learn!

[ToastyEggoWaffles]

@ejandramae20 you'll get it!

[ToastyEggoWaffles]

Your good! I guess it's all about training the fingers to move a certain way! Exercise those fingers:)

[ardenkadyo]

fuck you! dude ur voice sound's like mabhong utot!

[ejandramae20]

my Bm and F sounds awful...

[seymourbbest]

I'm just starting and you've been a real help. Some teachers assume you know stuff and you don't know what they mean. But you do the basics and make it simple. Thank you.

[HariD108]

Good guitar lesson. Thanks !

[Agnel28]

This video is really gud for the beginner's, there's lot to learn from this, all thanks to stain for his effort in teaching the beginner's on this tube!

[derroville]

Whats up Hey,

Am Derek from. Thanks a lot for the lesson. I love the song "Mob kuv lub Siab" but I can't find it anywhere, I can't find its lyrics and I also don't know the meaning. So can you help me out there please. I tried using both email addresses and the message wasn't delivered.

Thanks.

[uberhalo3]

INDEX A 1:18 Am 1:37 Bm 1:48 C 2:30 D 2:44 E 3:35 Em 3:46 F 4:08 G 5:09 F#m 6:07 Fmaj7 6:50 C#m 7:33 C# 8:07

[mehmongtoo]

ey which one is ur movie teching the song "just for love?"

[mishterlusk]

You want your fingers to be between the medal frets not ontop of them leerzen.

[leerzen]

when u fret.. is ur finger on top of the medal bar or right next to it?

[foofarters]

I think you called a nut a fret

[Hallo3jean]

but a E chord made by 2 fingers

[keslerkaiyu]

it's 3 notes, so "E" chord is only 2 fingers, you're right. However you play it with the other open string, completing that "E" chord.

When you play the E chord, you're not just strumming the 4th and 5th string, right? You strum it along with other strings.

[jamiekins07]

This has been really helpful! :]

[jrmrock]

thanks a lot.

[HlubKojforever]

Thxs, stain.. ur the best.

[selarom92]

[CRaddict]

that was really useful .

:)

[maddiekate014]

helped a lot. thankyou

[LtTesticle]

no offence, but you remind me of doofy from scary movie 1.

but yeah good idea to help out the beginners

[purpleech]

it seems so easy wen u do it. i jes bought a guitar. its just so difficult to change between the chord. can u giv any tips on how to practice better. cos i paused so many times to change the chords.help

[Murjoe16]

Have someone else on camera. Having the camera there the whole time doesn't exactly help.

[DracoFamiliar]

What if you're left handed?

[weirdkid202]

get a left handed guitar deuche monkey

[TheRealDannyTheMan]

lmao... I'm left handed... it's still the same chord... just a different hand...

[faithm]

its basically a mirror image because you flip the guitar around and string the strings backwards so that the thickest is still on top.

[Chilax]

cant you capo for b minor

[brock214acebo]

you can capo for any bar chord

[0cookiemonster0]

was great. cept i had to spend hours figuring out how the strum to that song. and im still not 100%

[ogbgang]

DAmn. you great i think you are great did you know that you are great hey great dude. you are great. naw jp. thanks for the crap.

[Lolita198987]

its cool.. i know shit about guitar, but now i know a little.. Ill follow up when i get my first rotten guitar... which i have to steal from somewhere... then we'll get together ok?

I promise i wont seduce you

[icebluechick]

this was awesome. I really know nothing about guitar and I learned a lot. Although I had to pause it many times to learn them and right down instructions so I can practice more. it was really helpful though! thanks so much for posting this!

[chamasdad]

thank you!

[azngotback]

at least do it with a good voice you sound really annoyed xD....

[azngotback]

at least do it with a good voice you sound really annoyed xD....

[Pjatten]

Helped me alot, thanks :)

[umeshkd]

Thanks a lot!!! :)

[tbrittpiglet]

thanks!

[brco2003]

ur sucha rookie

a chord doesn't need at least 3 fingers, u noob, look at Em and you can play all strings open and thats a chord

90% of people use that G? I bet more people do the "full G" than that one

and u dont even teach the G bar chord

u teach the F bar chord but not the G and its the same shape - u shouldve taught it

but actually u shouldnt haven even showed any bar chords if u were going to talk about them in another lesson

i dont even play guitar

[airlar73]

He didn't say three fingers, he said three notes, dude.  Don't stand so close to your amp.

[HeathFeenstra]

YOU SUCK, you dont even give time to practise with you, or even tell which frets your in, you just say "first string, third string" ect. stop teachin.

[MaiChengilcious]

you know when u put ur index finger covering the whole string on the second fret, do u press all th string down or what?..i'm always confuse on dat?can somebody tell me plz?

[timothyguy]

hey he flipped me off when he played f#..haha this is good..looks like a lot of memorization for me..thank you

[djnick007]

-at last a simple and straightforward beginners tutorial!!! Many thanks-

[plutoneym]

thanks man! realy helpd me! :)

[bam1510]

hey man when you play the B minor do push the finger down on the second fret or just in front of it like you would be playing a D on the second string and G on the first string.

[densefawg]

WATCH AMER0

[Puffinyat]

is this only for an acoustic, sorry if i spelled it wrong guitar? plz message me yes or no!

[Marc5000]

it's the same.. only difference is the method of projecting the sound.. there are guitars that do both in one too ;-)

[10sixer]

Thanks alot for helping us.

[yourXnewXobsession]

thanks so much! im a super newbie, but this helped alot!

[bigbird458]

thanks for this tutorial

[ronnycould]

keeping the guitar in tune makes a world of difference.

[roswellyeti]

Us newbies don't know the difference and I appreciate the help. Thanks for showing the tip on turning the E chord into a F. Thank You

[ronnycould]

Hey Stain,i suggest you use a tuner, get a tuner,or learn how to tune first before giving guitar lessons on youtube,i appreciate your effort though,it's all about sharing and learning from each other and i am in no way putting any one down,just giving constructive advice.

[bananian]

what's a major and a minor?

[vousden]

its basically two versions of the chord, major: the happy one and minor: the sad one, the only difference is the middle note is either sharped or flattened.

i hope this is right anyway.

[ethylchloride]

Very useful - many thanks!

[viviones]

I got a question, I am left handed and my guitar is a left handed one, well the strings have been modified for me. So when you say don't play the 6th string, does that mean the first string to me? I learned my strings: EADGBE and so the 6 is the first for me? Could you help me out on that?

[juancarlosxz]

aprendann!!

[oglethorpian2008]

well done, ur talented at this. please keep it up!

[LeaderOfTheDamned]

DUDE like you need to tell people which strings NOT to play when playing certain chords

[tejaschonkar]

hey do your basics man a chord can also have 2 notes

[jdub03]

two note combinations are typically referred to as dyads or intervals. Chords are generally constructed from stacks of thirds(three notes) relative to some scale.

[gammusse]

thanks for the help man... i realy appreciate it,,,, rock on

[shinsuo]

Thx a lot!!! You help me with some technical terms that I doesnt know!

[powerpipefalafel]
