  • Hey Anthony I have a question, when you are playing the partial D form chord after the 5, are you using your thumb to fret the Ab string?

    Thanks!

  • @rwebb61 No, I can't quite reach that far, but I am using it to mute the A string.

  • what do terms "4 chord", "c chord/form", "1 chord", etc, really mean? am i missing something, because, i am familiar with music theory and i can't figure out what do these terms mean.

    great lessons btw, keep up the good work! you really have the skills, and the tone

  • @bogdan988 E/A/C/D/G chord 'forms' are chords that take the shape of those letter chords in the lowest position on the fretboard, but moved to other places on the fretboard. A 4 chord, or IV chord is a chord that is based on the 4th note of the scale being used. A C form IV chord is a chord using the C chord shape/fingering, based on the 4th note of the scale being used.

  • @Magnawulf lmao, i knew something wasn't normal with those nails

  • just a question, what pick ups and amp are you using?? thanks.

  • I usually add the pinky to the root on the 6th string when i play chords like @4:12

  • Jumbled or not, VERY valuable. Thanks as always.

  • Sweet, sweet tone in this vid. What are you using? Other than the strat, obviously. Pickups? Amp?

  • what camera did you use to record this video?

  • This sounds a lot like John Mayer at the beginning.

    Given...John Mayer sounds a lot like Stevie Ray Vaughan sometimes...

    And Stevie Ray had a tendency to sound kind of like Hendrix sometimes....

  • are you using your thumb to hold just the e string or both the e and a?

  • Your fingers look like they hurt. They're almost purple.

  • E, i thought that position was a major on 5th fret, where am i gettin confused?
