What helped me a lot was learning a bunch of triad patterns (I mean, just playing three notes) - not just the patterns, but the which is the first, third, fifth etc. That "aha" moment when you can visualize exactly which notes chords have in common or which are just a semitone away etc will change your playing. chords, inversions and also open voices , voice leading etc. Sound like scary music theory, but its isn't really.
I'm starting to get more and more into triads and inversions. Now it almost feels like strumming those basic chord patterns sounds so dull. I think Paul might have a video about it. I think most rock/pop songs actually use mostly triads and some added notes, doubled notes are just unnecessary. It opens so much more stuff about playing. And like you said, it's not that hard.
@@reneeschke Try this for example. Also Paul's videos about Frusciante, Hendrix and Mayer have some stuff about triads. Of course you can just google the patterns also. ua-cam.com/video/-XJXbxTMkUQ/v-deo.html
Triads are heaven! I'm just getting through that "aha" moment and I already created a kind of Joe Pass/Wes Montgomery chord progression and I just love it!
I've been doing this as well, making my own triads out of different positions on the neck using just 3 strings. I have the major scale and all notes across first 12 frets written down for quick reference.
Thanks, Paul. Many “musicians” don’t appreciate the richness of the slash chords and rely upon the base player to direct the chord progression. Realizing the beauty the slash chord is an “a-ha” moment for many guitarists. The challenge is to subvert the tendency for laziness.

I would just ignore the slash and play them as the standard chord. Thank you for showing me what they are and how they can be notated. It makes so much sense!

honestly I've been learning so much with Paul Davids it's crazy, I picked up the guitar a year ago and I gotta say he is the only youtuber that teaches me absolutely priceless stuff, everyday I study and practice along with one of his videos, he is an amazing teacher, props to him, he deserves every single one of his subs and should have way more in my opinion, thank you Paul
Hey, I'm a teacher who's had to move a lot of his classes online. I play guitar as a hobby, and watch these not only to learn more about playing, but also about teaching. I focus in on the structure of your lessons and small ways you edit the videos to make them digestible. They make for a good example of quality online lessons. I also think back to how many takes I have to do in order to keep a conversational tone in my lessons, and imagine these must take you ages to record. Thank you so much for posting these!
This is a great lesson. Your stuff is usually over my head because I don’t do jazz or blues, but this explains perfectly how I’ve been writing songs, and I didn’t know there was a name for it.
After watching the Paul Davids 10 guitarists play over backing track, I wanted to learn how to play the backing track. When I looked up the tabs, it turns out it uses lots of these slash chords so I looked up Paul David’s slash chord lesson and lo and behold, this is pretty much the backing track!!! Lol.
Slash Chords are definitely interesting. I like the idea of adding inversions and different basslines into the mix, I think it's really cool to making guitar a solo instrument if you want to!
Great explanation! There could have been a method 6 as well - staying on the same base - as in G - D/G - C/G - D/G for example. Adds great character to many songs :)
A word on the editing style: I'm really digging the lighting changes when the key concepts appear written on screen. They focus the information to the name of the concept and keeps the viewer focused!
bro you're honestly one of the best persons i've seen in my life. thank u for helping so many people in such a beautiful way..ur videos are satisfying and quality content bro... im in debt bro.. Thank You So Much
Dude I love the practical style of teaching your doing, this is amazing! Especially the part where you explained how simple it is to look at chords by slashing them rather than making them extra confusing like in the Beatles example. Good stuff

I was racking my brain trying to figure out what you were playing in Method 3. SO FAMILIAR! When you "inverted" the top end, or rather "UN-inverted" the highest note in each chord.. I had a eureka moment. Duh! It's Stairway! Very cool way to play with expectation, and show off that musical concept. Way to captivate an audience
You're such a good teacher, you know how to simplify things for mortals like me and it's so fun learning with you. Greetings from Paraguay, south america!
Honestly this video might’ve taught me the more In this amount of time than anything else I’ve watched. It seems pretty simple but for some reason just now opening my eyes to this stuff I think.
Good job, Paul. I’ve been playing 25+ years and have never really given much thought to how things are connected on the fret board. But you make it seem interesting and exciting. Love it.
Another fabulously interesting and masterfully delivered, but way beyond my skills at the moment. I'll stick to my basic chord progressions and then book mark this for two or three years down the line . Seriously, very interesting and you make this so easy to understand.
Well, I have been playing guitar for fifty years (self-taught without any practice discipline) and found this video and dominant second video enlightening. While most UA-camrs seem to concentrate on lead guitar, power chords and pentatonic variations Paul shows a path for understanding how chords relate to each other and to melody. I am a singer/songwriter and this opens up things for me in ways I am excited to explore.
Those chords, "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", Love that descending bass. Don't know if I'm in copywrite problems but I love playing it and I'm happy that you explained it so well.
Hello, I am French and with my little English I understand everything because you are very clear. I like your enthusiasm and the passion for harmony in all your tutorials. thank you very much
I've been playing guitar for 15 years. Took several years of music theory. And this is the first time the chord nomenclature has made sense. Idk how I never made that connection before. Idk if it's just because I just memorized chords so young and never thought about it again after that
@GuitarMusic I knew he was good, but when I saw him play with BB King, that to me said it all. You know those old time blues guys don't let anyone share the stage with them
Thank you Paul, I've been watching your videos for bout a year now and you've helped me increase my knowledge considerably. You should do a video called "Don't forget about the pinky finger.
Explicit and easy to understand! I love how you use repetitions to hammer the technique home! Average guitarists suddenly sound far more professional following these descending bass lines.... You are a GEM Paul!
You can also use a slash chord as a dominant sound. See "Easy" by The Commoders. Using the bass note of the 5 chord (eb) over the IV chord (db), so Db/eb, gives a great tension when resolved to the 1 chord.
I was just about to finish Module 3 of your intermediate course, and now I am enticed to spend the week on slash chords! delicious. The material is never ending and of an irresistible quality. Thanks Paul.
*You have a very good videos, nice editions, good angles of the camera, clearly voice, nice video resolution, I even think that I should pay for watching your videos, such an awesome job sir* 🤘
6:28 this is the one of the best intros from the legendary ledZep song.. btw i just subscribe my wifes acc paul 🤫😁 its been 2yrs since i followed you .from old ,to your new studio.loving from Phillipines
Wow!! It is the first time that I understand a video in English without a doubt !! For this reason I also want to say that I entered the video because I understood that it was about the chords used by the guitarist slash !! But it doesn't matter, the video has been totally enlightening, interesting, well explained and I'm going to put it into practice right now !! Thank you very much!!
As you discussed While My Guitar... and the Am/G, Am/F#, Am/F I wondered why you weren't grabbing the bass note with your thumb instead of alternating the position of the Am chord. Using your pinky for G bass and using the thumb for the F# and F makes more sense to me.
@@PaulDavids haha yes sir! Also hey you're pretty close to 2m, good luck! Always loved your content, Paul! But still, my ears catch it when the video doesn't start with "I'm Paul Davids" because I spent that much time watching you heheh
What I love the most about your channel (besides the useful content) are all the details: the sound, the colors, the camera angles, even the font you use in the letters... everything is so fresh and professional, and that means a lot of dedication/time involved in every video. Congrats Paul!
I absolutely agree! While not wishing to ever disappear into a realm of jazz chordage, root/fifth/root/third chords are just asking for a bit added colour from (shock horror) other notes! It's like discovering The Beatles after only ever listening to metal.
Paul thank you for making music theory accessible with usable explanation. Literally used D slash cords to build a bridge with an ascending line this Sunday because of this video. Really appreciate your contribution to music and humanity.
AKA Inversions. Also, my brother (who learnt guitar by himself) thought the slash meant you could play EITHER the G chord or the B chord. He may still think this, and he thinks I'm wrong when I explained this to him. I'm gonna show him this video now.
I can't recall the last instruction vid Paul made that I didn't like. Damn! that's right, boatloads of songs use the descending bass lines! D/B is so sweet! Love it
I've been learning guitar on the internet since years but the way you teach stuff and stress on the application of things helps so much. Love your videos. You've got a fan in me. Please continue the good work!
Your videos are amazing. I've always learned something new. Your tempo is perfect for me. I sometimes stoped the video to get it but I'm looking forward for more these videos. Thumbs up
Being a brass player (mostly trombone) and using guitar for song writing these is the way I hear chord changes. I had to learn the chords to go along with the moving lines in my head
Sir Paul Davids. Just wanna thank you for your passion in playing guitar. It makes the likes of me (an amateur) be inspired in improving my play. Btw, i really love your funk and blues playing. Keep it up. Let your passion resonate to more guitar players out there. ❤️❤️❤️
It excites me to see how many people expected and wanted a video about power chords 😄
Yes, please! :D
Do it!!!
Damn right! Haha
Please...please...please...make a video about power chords
Is a video about power chords gonna last more than 5 seconds?

I absolutely agree! While not wishing to ever disappear into a realm of jazz chordage, root/fifth/root/third chords are just asking for a bit added colour from (shock horror) other notes! It's like discovering The Beatles after only ever listening to metal.
I clicked this video because I thought it was about slash 😳
same
i got baited
but still good tho
#metoo
Damn clickbait
Hahaha.. me too
Hey @PaulDavids, Just signed up for your "next level" course and it's been great so far. Thanks man
C'est intéressant de savoir que ta suite d'accords favorite est "Champs-Elysées" dadadadaadaaa ;)
lol ;)
Paul thank you for making music theory accessible with usable explanation. Literally used D slash cords to build a bridge with an ascending line this Sunday because of this video. Really appreciate your contribution to music and humanity.
11:10 can anyone tell me what's the song that 'we' all know but I don't 😂 I really love the chords progression in that song
It's "Make you feel my love" written by Bob Dylan, but performed by various artists, I personally know it from Adele :D
tears in heaven has a slightly different melody, but i think @magnusgm1 is right, thanks a lot!
Thank you very much, Paul. Still consider myself a 'beginner' so I am not sure I can make use of them yet, but I will come back to this; much obliged.
AKA Inversions. Also, my brother (who learnt guitar by himself) thought the slash meant you could play EITHER the G chord or the B chord. He may still think this, and he thinks I'm wrong when I explained this to him. I'm gonna show him this video now.
Not all slash chords are inversions
@@PaulDavids Oops
Paul you are Gandalf of guitar. Your lessons are exactly what most of us are looking for.
I didnt know Obi Wan Kenobi played the guitar
I can't recall the last instruction vid Paul made that I didn't like. Damn! that's right, boatloads of songs use the descending bass lines! D/B is so sweet! Love it
George Harrison used to do a lot of these slash chords, he was a master on descending chords.
The song Michelle is quite interesting too.
Shahriaar M Fahim such a great song. Michelle was created by Paul McCartney, well they were The Beatles, the masters of the good music.
I've been playing guitar for 11 years. Finally someone explain this to me. Thanks paul
Next video : Hendrix chords
Can't reference 'em right now... but Paul's done a heap already... p'raps search this channel with 'fills' & 'pentatonic' ....
I've been learning guitar on the internet since years but the way you teach stuff and stress on the application of things helps so much. Love your videos. You've got a fan in me. Please continue the good work!
I can’t for the life of me recognize the “song we all know” @ 11:10. Anyone?
Neither can I...
sounds like "to make you feel my love" - Adele
@@ashnpikachu I think you got it right, nice.
@@ashnpikachu not Adele... that's Dylan, my guy. It's from Time Out of Mind... a wonderful record.
It's "Make You Feel My Love" - originally by Bob Dylan but brought into the public's consciousness by Garth Brooks...
Thanks Paul for this wonderful lesson
5:35 of course Paul anything you play will sound good
Your videos are amazing. I've always learned something new. Your tempo is perfect for me. I sometimes stoped the video to get it but I'm looking forward for more these videos. Thumbs up
For anyone wondering about the method 3 and 5 songs, they are Stairway To Heaven and Make You Feel My Love
Every new videos are new knowledge for me as a guitar player for 8 years 😆
Always enjoy your videos... and they frequently remind me about things I know but had forgotten... There's always one more branch to follow....
Studio is on point man best of luck to you and your loved ones keep the videos coming you're doing great!
Being a brass player (mostly trombone) and using guitar for song writing these is the way I hear chord changes. I had to learn the chords to go along with the moving lines in my head
Sir Paul Davids. Just wanna thank you for your passion in playing guitar. It makes the likes of me (an amateur) be inspired in improving my play. Btw, i really love your funk and blues playing. Keep it up. Let your passion resonate to more guitar players out there. ❤️❤️❤️
Many great legendary songs are full power chords..thanks bro paul for the stuff
Wow, I’m at the end of Method 2, already it’s been a revolution for me!
Great video.
