Daq teaches the 7 basic guitar chords

examples include : Free Bird, and Good Riddance

Hey guys, this is Daq.. sorry about some of the video not being totally clear.. like every 'you tube-er' we're strapped for time on each vid, and that kinda limits us to how much detail we can get into.. so, if there are any questions, please feel free to message or comment us. thanks for watching. (below is a chart for the chords, including finger placement)

X = omit the string (don't play it)
0 = open string

-------2--------- (ring finger)
-------2--------- (middle finger)
-------2--------- (pointer finger)

  • You could improve your lessons by saying the fret number which your finger needs to go on instead of saying "this guy right here"

  • @Linkinparkfan33 Hahahaha, that's actually a really good suggestion. Thanks for the tip.

  • that b chord is a bitch

  • @clayralskate I actually didn't say i know it well. In fact if you watch the other videos I come right out and say "I don't know this." And thanks for the 'tip' on the strings, I've learned them now. However if you knew all of this already, at least well enough to bash on me for a lack of knowledge, what were you doing searching an instructional video in the first place? try to keep your reply a bit more mature please. thanks.

see all

  • very helpfull!! thanks!:) BEST video for learning chords i have watched so far!

  • Hehe. Rape me. Shit man, i started guitar to do that intro.

  • @TheRandomness36 Sure. That won't take too long, and I've been meaning to put up a new one anyways. Thanks for the suggestion. I should have it up relatively soon.

  • @PapDaq buut yeah. can you makea video? please

  • @TheRandomness36 pretty much read it like a book. left to right. play the notes/numbers as they appear in order on the tab. hold your guitar upside down and facing you to get a real picture of what you're playing. thickest string (E) is the bottom line of the tab. takes a little practice, but you'll get it in no time.

  • @PapDaq Duude can you like Make a video of you playing a tab

    like if i see a tab i don't know what to play first.

    Please

  • if you guys are having trouble hittin the little E on your A chord, try just musing it and not bothering missing it

  • Put tape on them

  • nyc im impressed you should really make a video about good tips about making the finger comfort and so that it does not hurt that much !!
