@19990SAND

Are you like 12?

Idiots like you need to realize something, I am not advertising. I do this just to be cool, there is nothing beyond that. 99% of all these other guys are trying to get something from you. Money or for you to go to there site where they advertise junk and get paid for that etc.

I have refused close to 100 offers to advertise and other stuff where people want to use my videos and charge money of something of the sorts with other adverts etc. This is really free.

@19990SAND

Moving chords is an intermediate lesson.

Your just a pathetic loser trying to act smart which means your a dumb ass because if you were smart you would have no need to act smart or attempt to prove it on youtube.

People using these videos are not taking music lessons. Well except weirdo's like you with some need to prove your are smarter than someone else, which are are not. If your too stupid to understand the context then your too stupid to understand the explication.

@SamCCbaby practice, practice, practice...

There's no wrong or right way of playing guitar. You're not "supposed" to play a chord a certain way. It's all about mixing notes that sound good together aka chords/scales/keys etc. Certain chord "forms" or "shapes" are just foundations to build upon and allow for smoother changes up and down the neck. So just stop nit picking and play your guitar. Try express yourself and experiment. The are only 3 rules to live by:

1. If it sounds good play it.

2.

[worldborg]

@ThunderRun03

You are talking to beginners and they can not understand the level you are talking about. They are learning the A, B, C's still.

But use what works best for you, the rule is always, play what sounds good. Understanding music theory is for documenting songs and talking to other musicians. Your ears will tell you what sounds good.

Three notes make a chord and any combination of those three notes will be that chord.

[worldborg]

@Rajonty BUt you do not have to deal with a bunch of idiots posting retarded remarks on your video like this

[SamCCbaby]

Hey, i didnt really think this video was very good. But i dont know. I've been trying to get my new notes down and memorized. But i really am having trouble switching between chords in a song. Does anyone have any tips to help me get my "fingers to memorize the movement?"

[meadish]

@SamCCbaby Practice very, very slowly at first and make sure that everything is perfect before you try to speed up. Choose chord fingerings that minimize movement from A to B. Maintain strong focus when you practice. If something goes wrong, start over from the top. Do not accept mistakes because they will become part of your playing if you do. If finger strength/feeling tense is an issue, try to find the least amount of pressure required to get a chord to ring right [...]

[worldborg]

@meadish

You should definitely not trade technique for speed. A metronome can be great helper. Figure out what speed you can play the part at then make the metronome slightly faster, once you catch up then speed it up again.

Again, start with light gauge strings or even extra light.

[meadish]

@SamCCbaby You can practice switching chord positions without pressing down the strings (just touch them lightly). Make sure you are relaxed when practicing. If you find yourself tensing up in the shoulders, arms or hands, take a few deep breaths, let go of the tension and start again. Those are the main points. And of course, keep at it. Never give up.

[worldborg]

@meadish

Well I think a better solution is use light or extra light strings. You will likely have to have your guitar setup when you change the gauge of strings you use. Its not really that scientific, the more you play the better you get.

[meadish]

@worldborg True, using light strings helps when you're starting out, as does low action. An electric guitar or nylon stringed/classical guitar is also less hard on the fingers than a steel string acoustic. Don't know why you feel that the idea of light strings somehow replaces any of the solutions I gave though, I see it as complementary advice.

[worldborg]

@meadish

Well you giving a philosophical solution to a physical problem and since these are mainly, very much beginners, they will not be able to understand the theory behind something they have no comprehension of in the first place. The best solution is small strings when your learning, as well as low action. The guitar should just be easy to play at first so you can focus on all the other stuff.

Then of course put 13's on your guitar and remove all distortion and play blues. Haha JK

Thx

[GlorfindelRW]

I've played it both ways, but I actually find the three finger version much easier to play, especially when transitioning into other open chords. It depends on the person.

[Emceetem]

Where are the E triad pentatonic arpeggios?

:P

[worldborg]

@Emceetem

That would be a very short arpeggio

They are rarely done tastefully. Usually just used to show off and the funny thing is they rarely fit where they are being placed. Reminds me of double kicks Hah

[dudrhkd7]

this changed the way i looked at chords when i learned it from my friend a couple years ago

[rEptiLeKitChen]

if you wanna learn something, learn it right, thats my opinion, so i think if your gonna teach people to do some thing, its very important that you start good, its harder to break habits than build them

[ReiAime]

the "A" thing. Very true. I play it that way too.

[articlepk]

wow ....interesting learning about music....

[fecapeluda]

Cool mate after check this ill correcto some things in my posture :D

Cheers.
