i like your vids and appreciate your approach. IN this vid tho at 5:03 you say to X out the G note for the barred C major. However that G is part of the C major at the 3rd fret. You dont x it. it is hard to accomplish tho because the way the fingers lay across the fretboard. This is also the same exact pattern that makes up the G chord at 9th(or 8th) fret. Good stuff. It helps a lot.

@LeeJunfanusa That G CAN be part of the chord or not. Most people do not include it when playing that bar chord. That's why I said "generally". Note: There is already a G in the chord on the 5th fret (4th string).

why does DFA make it a d minor chord and not a major chord?

[tortoiseutube]

@107098 @107098 I have a YT video explaining that. Search for "What Makes a Chord Major or Minor?" and it should be there.

Thank you for this lesson. Now I know why my guitar teacher always told me to memorize all the notes. I know where most are from playing so much, but I've never actually sat down and memorized them. I reckon it will allow me to find any chord I want quite fast. Now are these chords named after the modes in C Ionian? (Speaking of just this example) I've noticed that people will say that "This mode is a minor mode and this is a major mode" and so on. Does it relate to that?(Ex:D dorian over D min)

[tortoiseutube]

@G27dude Typo: I meant to say... "there are 3 minor modes in a major scale."

@107098

Major chords are 1,3,5 in that key

minor chords are 1, b3, 5 in that key

Key of D : D E F# G A B C# D

the chord is D, F, A so you have a minor chord :D

[Gizmotrold]

Wow i didnt know that :D cool thx

[chonn1991]

Very nice man! Thank you!

[MrCindersVeil]

I only know how to finger A minor

[joshua8354]

This is like the final piece you don't know how grateful I am cheers

[maveryck92]

@107098 because D to F is 1 and a half steps not 2 steps since E to F is a half step (there is not E sharp or F flat)

[Coopersmith1000]

This is truly amazing! I've been playing guitar for most of my life and I've never really thought of it like this. Every other note making a chord for that scale. I'm looking forward to more of your lessons! Thanks for posting this.
