Finally... a guitar video where the guy doesn't tell me his entire life story for 95% of the video, really helpful 🙏🏼
Haha I know right 📌
😂🙏
Nailed it, so tired of people doing that.
ify lmao
They say you need to be a narcissist to be a musical artist, sometimes this is true
I'm 61 years old and I learned a lot from your video. No one's too old to learn the basics.
You can say that again. Thanks for watching.
Wallsmarts original I am 59 ... a beginner too
Dude, never late :DD You should know.
I love you
I’m 74 years old and I still fuck bitches every day
Top tip: know the A, Am, A7, E, Em, E7 shapes, understand the CAGED system (the concept of root notes), memorize the notes on the low E and A string and you have yourself 20-30 chords at your disposal.
That's exactly what my Guitar teacher told me
Caged is over rated
But it will help cheat thru the first 5 years. I guess if you don't have a lot of hours yet
tony montana yeah, you eventually get to a slightly higher than intermediate level and you would have to break off of the caged system. But as far as understanding the neck of the guitar in a beginner level, CAGED is very helpful.

Nate is a great teacher. I am 71 and have played as a hack amateur for 57 years. I have no real Oldtimer memory problems but wanted to Refresh my memory and remember "tricks" I had forgotten. Nate is great because does not come on super-cool / has a great clear speaking voice / makes it easy to take-in and to follow. Excellent. I just "Subscribed."
Thanks for your clear, relaxed presentation. Makes me realize I've gotten somewhere with my guitar playing that I know most of these. Much appreciated.

Ive been playing guitar for about a year and a half, pretty much every single day and I stumbled upon this video. Was able to play every single chord with no troubles. Practice makes perfect!
Thank you, this has been so helpful.I've only been playing less than a year and I do take in person lessons. Your descriptions and finger placements ..watching..being able to pause and go back...has helped me in learning chords!!😊🎸
Ive played guitar for 8 years now, why did i watch all of this?
Nice video tho
Valters Trumpiks same
Morbid curiosity?
@Ethan Richardson so are you a real guitarist or no after the video? :D
@Ethan Richardson you aint wrong but if you busk unplugged open chords are way louder and useful, +easier on fingers if you have to play for 2+h so theres benefits to being a zombie too 😂
I'm through with fingering, the Post Punk genre demands I cut off my fingers and thump with the stumps. Helps get the high screams going!
Been learning chords for about a month now and just wanted to say that this video REALLY helps me. I always go back and reference these and I’ve really improved thanks to you. Thank you a bunch :)
I'd love to see a reference chart that not only showed fingered placement but also how that same note looks on standard sheet music and in tab notation. Would be a great learning / reference tool
thank you was looking for a small refresher and this was perfect
Just wanted to thank you and let you know your tips helped me over the last six months tremendously. Especially the tip of just having a guitar where u sit in your house. You get the urge its right there. I went thru the bloody finger thing as a teen and picking it back up after service. Thank you
Thanks! I've been struggling with the bar chords since i'm a beginner. Your video is the best!

Everybody sins. There is nobody in this world who doesn't sin.

I have been trying for a few years on just the chords. I recognized some & can do them .I never had any help showing me so I never got the Barre chords. Thank you for this video it was awesome & I got to finally see the Barre Chords you did & now can practice them & look over & check if I am doing it right thanks to this video
This video is so good, by the way you are such an inspiration! You send out some wonderful positive vibes. I really liked that last part with the tick for the hobo!
the x33210 FMaj7 was really useful when I was first learning about chords, also a good way to introduce the concept of hooking the thumb over to play on the low e string and can slide it up 4 frets to get a nice shape for AMaj
what an amazing job! I am a percussionist and I have had a guitar for years however, only really knew some chords for some songs and your video makes so much sense now, I can refer back to your video constantly to make perfect sense of the little I know! #subscribed
Your advice with G and C have really helped me. Thank you.
Thanks the way you teach these cords systematically is very helpful
Really helpful. After having moved from guitar to keyboards I recently picked up the guitar again. This is so useful. Thanks a lot!
Nice man
Thanks I needed this..
Excellent and cogent presentation on some of the more important guitar chords. You are a gifted communicator! Keep at it amigo!
I took the step of learning the guitar in 2018 and i had no one to teach me, all I had was your videos and I'm so grateful that it helped me a lot.
Add9 chords pls! I love Cadd9 , its my fav! Thank u for the amazing video!!!
Mine too
The Cadd9 (without the pinky) reminds every time at the opening chord of “last Christmas” :D
TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY
Its like a hack
I dont like it though haha
@@tigrast Or the last chord of the Beatles " No Reply" :D
I learned lots of chords
Thank you
Thanks for teaching👌
Thanks for this video! Very well explained! Clears alot of doubts for the chords! 👌👌🙏
I don't think it matters how many Chords a guitarist knows but it's how they take the chords and use them to their advantage. If you know a few simple chords you can still play a lot of songs.
But if you take them simple chords and play then with a barre you can then explore the fret board and make something way more interesting but you are still pretty much using those same chords you have already learnt.
its about quality over quantity
20?
lol
Guitar George knows ALL the chords.
Hhahahaha😂😂
how many did you know ?
Mind he’s strictly rhythm! He doesn’t wanna make it cry or sing
Harry doesn't mind...if he makes "the scene".
Yeah, he's doing alright.
but he doesn't make it cry or sing......
Clear, concise ideal for the beginner thanks Andrew
Thank you 😊 helping beginners
i really like the way you are define chords with nature feelings like sades happiest chords
ravidu prasanna I did as well. Not many have done this on UA-cam
Thanks for alternative bar chords
You have a wonderful and relaxing teaching style!
great lesson, very helpful and very clear explenation. keep up the good work
New to this channel but I'm in love already 😁😁
Wow very useful. Thanks
Man, probably the best and simplistic way in a matter of minutes! This will go on my guitar journey! Appreciated, older learner thankyou.
Outstanding lesson!!
1st position B7 (the one I learned before barr chords) and G7 1st position (1st finger, 1st string, 1st fret).
Maj7 chords are some of my favorites. Cmaj7, Amaj7, and Fmaj7 are really easy and pop up a lot. They’re worth learning as a beginner, at least before augmented or diminished chords.
your such a great teacher.
thanks for all your tips
il support you all the way from now on.
coz im learning a lot.
You are a great teacher.Ive learned a lot from your videos.Please don't stop
very helpful video. eventho i still know how to play some of the chords but it still help out to play the chords more easily and better than before. i appreciate the alternative bar chords as well bcs not all people are good on playing bar chords. cheers 😎
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand :::::;
Hi. I think missing out the open B7 was an error in this vid. It's a really useful chord!
This lesson is priceless! It totally NAILS it when it come to chords!
This video is the most useful for beginners, I,ve seen so far, easy to follow with the diagrams. I suggested my grand-daughter (13) to view it many times. Thanks for uploading this .
I love how he explained chords as emotion 💜
Em7, the full G, and C2 would probably be the only things i would add to a beginner's guide, the diminished chord I barely use after four years of playing, and I often jam out with the above chords, not to mention anything in key of G will most likely utilise those chords as well as D
The ONLY best tutorial on guitar! Thank you so much
Thank you! Right to the point and easy to follow
I found a chord harder than F
B major chord
Freaking same they are impossible especially if you have tiny hands!!!
Plenty of jazz chords are harder than a six string bar chord
@@girlstalk5secondsofsummer212 try buying a guitar with a smaller scale length it will help with that alot
@@girlstalk5secondsofsummer212 I'm 6:4 I have massive hands playing for years using 42 mm but width found picking hard as fingers were bunched together . All good now as use a 44 mm nut width which better spaced strings . If you got tiny hands get a neck that's C shape and 41 mm or 42 nur width .
@@Noah-wv4td I play for about 8 months and I can play the F and B chord, I still struggle a bit switching quickly between such (barre) chords...
Thanks mr GuitarLessons for this vid. 🤘
Thank you for sharing this info, super helpful.
Great teaching 👍
Thank you, it helps a lot. 👏 👏 👏
Opened up another little door for me. Thanks a lot :)
Augmented chord is the E shape chord played on the first 3 strings.
What a lovely refresher! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the help!
I’ve had a guitar for about 2 years now. I never really got hooked on it because it looked so complicated (even though that’s the reason I wanted to play it). I’m finally catching on to it and this video is one of the reasons. Thanks for the great tips and showing other people how to play chords on the guitar :))
Ive found 'hanging out with my guitar' really helps! Even if it is for just a few minutes every day. I am not a 'natural' but my friends tell me i'm getting better😂 good luck!
Watch Ayla's videos. She's wonderful at explaining music in a very simple way, she makes things so easy.
Hii
Weird thing, but when I was practicing bar chords I got mad and stopped playing for the afternoon because I was mad, but two days later, I had no problem.
It's happened with me!! Sweet child o mine! I was practicing the solo a lot, but never got it right. So finally I gave up, but a few months later, I randomly tried playing it, and it came out almost perfect!
*almost*
@@rudolphclaus9565 this thing happened to me on thunderstruck by AC/DC. Man I thought I got some powers or smt
@@RummanNaser niice XD
Your muscle memory had it registered, it happens with everyone, sometimes you just need a little break.
a x that’s so true
Thank you professor Nate Savage. You are a great teacher more grease to your elbow. I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
Thank you are teaching pretty easy understanding to me excellent have a wonderful day .
This is awesome, thanks much
I played the G chord and that is definitely my favorite chord its so pretty!
Yeah. Pretty difficult
It has a very big presence
This is really helpful for beginner...ty very much
You nailed it all !!!!THANK You
He played the A major chord and I started singing "Come along with me, and the butterflies and bees"
Me watching one guitar video
Yousician: let me introduce myself
Thank you for this video
it helped me to learn the main chords on the guitar
thank you soo much
This was really helpful thanks!
OMG I needed this
I liked your diminished "Road trippin'" reference lol. RHCP
This video made me refresh my mind as a guitar player. I learned something in this video about the common chords a guitarist should know.
Thanks a ton, great tutorial!
Personally I play the open A major chord with my second, third, and fourth fingers. Partially because it's easier to fit them all in place, but mostly because it makes the B major chord much easier to adjust to since it's basically just an A bar chord moved up a whole step.
Even I do the same..It really makes it easier..
I tried to teach myself guitar once or twice but i could never get passed the finger pain from pressing strings down. Now that I'm learning the piano I'm amazed at how much more mysterious the chords are for guitar. I feel like if I tried to learn guitar now I'd have to translate everything from piano to guitar.
Learn on an electric it’s way easier to finger than an acoustic especially when first starting learn these chords in this video.
@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 Exactly....electric is the way to go to master the chords and other basic notes and then it's fully transferable to acoustic. You only have to press a little harder on the acoustic but the rest of the technique is the same
This video is so incredibly helpful thank you!!
finally a great video to learn some chords..good work guys.
When you know how to play the guitar for many years and still watch this video.
I've been playing for almost 4 years now and I'm just learning the basics, power chords got me throught these 4 years lol
Thats the beauty of guitar
Been playing 10 years. Its weird i know a lot of chords just from ear or watching ppl play but dont know a lot of the chord names. I also need work on scales i always free style and learn solos by watching. Scales will probably help with writing songs more
I know these chords and I play guitar using these...But still watching bcoz it feels good😁
@@tylerthescreamofficial98 you lucky bastard😭😭. I wish i had perfect pitch.....
Very useful and this is what I show my students. I also tell them it took me 2 weeks to do a bar chord. One suggestion - a very common chord in rock and roll is a sus4 which isn't hard to to do - I believe Buddy Holly was one of the earliest rockers to use them
Very simple to follow thanks exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for the tutorial basic chords.
Been playing 15 years.. I wish I could go back to the struggle and the joys of looking at the guitar as if it was a piece of the worlds greatest art. I guess some lose that over the years.. Hopefully people don't though.
Why/how do you think you stopped appreciating it like you once did? Do you just feel you’ve learned everything you want to learn and there’s no more achievements or new perspectives on aspects of playing/music in general? I’ve been playing on and off for just over 10 years, and maybe just because I didn’t challenge myself enough in the past or was too self taught, but I still find myself learning new things, discovering new sounds and aspects of sound/tone that can be manipulated and tell stories.
Until about a year ago I almost exclusively played covers, mostly simple chord progressions and rhythm guitar parts. But now I almost exclusively write my own music and discovering how to craft a melody and change progressions, rhythm etc has given me a new appreciation for how vast the span of sounds you can create with a guitar (and my voice) is.
i spent my all my money on a guitar but every day i have a breakdown cause i can’t get the barre chords :((
you just have to give it time! it's a slow process, I know how hard it is at first, trust me, soon, you'll be like why did I ever struggle at this hehe
Ansh Deo thank you 🥺💖
nour k it took me 4 years lmao but i tried rlly hard for 2 weeks and i’m good at them now, try hard and give it time x
i feel you but ive been playing guitar for like 7 months and every chord mentioned in this video is easy for me, and promise me, im very very very lazy no joke, so keep going :)
freeze ur finger so u wont feel a thing
Definitely a good video , straight forward and good presentation ! Thumbs up
Thank you！
Dsus4 - used in hundreds of worship songs everywhere, especially using it in combo with a standard D for resolution.
@Chiefline what was the point in your reply? Honestly?
Chiefline : When religion is used under the pretense of/ or in place of a proper relationship with God it does appear undesirable .
Agreed.
But “Invisible Man” ?
Whether there is or isn’t a God you don’t expect to find natural proof of a Supernatural being do you ?
That would be illogical.
Atheism/ denial of God , is just a crutch some people use to avoid their feelings of convictions . To suppress the call of the Spirit.
“ If I don’t believe , then it it isn’t real”.
There ain’t no ghost 👻 as kids say
Often we hear, “ Just because YOU believe it- that doesn’t make it real.”
So it works in reverse too.
“Just because you DON’T believe it doesn’t make it unreal.”
Ok.... wait for it.........
“PROVE GOD EXISTS “
With what? Natural senses like sight and hearing, or touch, tastes, and smell are not going to detect any Supernatural Being!
It supersedes the natural.
Even an eagle 🦅 can see better that humans. Human flesh, our bodies, do not qualify as an efficient test for proving the Supernatural World.
Your Mind & Spirit is how you “see”
and “ hear” God. If you want to.
Go ahead and do what you want as far as believing in God.
Just don’t go on believing that humanity has the ability in the flesh with natural senses to detect and determine the existence of the Supernatural World/ and God.
Thanks
@Chiefline you do need to work through that anger. The fact that you comment on a reply, bring yourself into a conversation, that had nothing to do with you, nor was it aimed towards you, because you don't agree? That's insanity. I'm an atheist, but I don't understand other atheists views on religion. It's not something that should upset you, who cares what other people believe in? They wanted answers, they found what works for them, you have no right to try and take that away because it doesn't fit what you believe or don't believe.

Thank you so much …this is a great video and very helpful…..I really like you relaxed and easy to follow approach and your pleasant and calm sounding voice.
Thanx dude. Great teaching
Did you mention the suspended chords? I’d you did I just missed it. Really handy if you love the music of Jethro Tull or Cat Stevens.
When I read " every REAL Guitar player " , I thought he's gonna show some crazy sounding complex chords .
this is a helpful video for real thank you for taking us from so far!!!
