      popcornfilms1 first: I love your use of fool. And not to be too mansplainy, but from what I know it starts with you knowing nothing, then thinking you know everything, then realizing how little you actually know. After that you just continue learning. Atleast that’s what the dunning Kruger graphs show.

    Idk if Mr D'Eon doesn't agree with this but it helps me a lot, when you can't stretch your fingers enough for a chord, put the capo on a fret where you can reach it and slowly move the capo down a fret until you don't need the capo anymore. That has helped me with a lot of chords

    • @gggrindingguitaristgg3474

    A lot of these shapes are probably handy for voice leading as transition chords, but I rarely use these inversions. The last one you played (dissonant major chord) is actually ued a lot in pop for going from C to Am.

    Some feedback, might be good to integrate an overlay or prop to distinguish your bits from your instruction/advice. An example of this is Jeff Nippard's channel where he rolls out "Bro Jeff" (which is just him with a backwards baseball cap) to do his jokes, and this helps him to avoid contaminating his science content. Helps the viewer to flip the brain from passive to active when the bit is over. Leave it to you to figure out what tool you'd use for this purpose since you'll be switching frequently, something as simple as slapping on some shades or a cringey fedora would be an efficient way to do this.

  • @facundosimonetti5203

    pretty fine video:) that first inversion voicing is really mysterious sounding.
    Also... unbelievable great tip from Ted Greene: to find an inversion for a chord, raise each note in the same string up to the next note belonging to that chord.
    This might give you unplayable shapes sometimes, but most of the times it's really useful and quick. Every shape in this lesson can be arrived to by that method

    It would be nice if you’ve shown the connection with the CAGED system, that way all of these shapes wouldn’t look so random. After all, any chord on the guitar can be traced back to one of the five open chord shapes, I.e. CAGED (this includes chord extensions and inversions)
