its guys like you who make me not frustrated with learning on youtube. most how tos i have to fast forward through half the video to get to anything worthwhile. thank you for cutting to the chase and giving valuable information throughout.
What separates the average guitarist from the great guitarist is the burning desire to continually learn and branch out, and while it might seem simplistic for those who already know these chords, for someone like me, learning these chords is the door to the next level ... Introducing these chords is exactly what I need to play what I hear in my head ... On a side note, one of the chords here reminded me a lot of that beautifully odd chord in The Scorpions' "Lovin' You Sunday Morning" ... Keeping an open mind and using all the tools at hand is imperative to being a great musician , and it shouldn't be intimidating - it's just putting the notes we all know into new shapes ... THANKS !!
Really cool lesson, learned some new shapes for some of these chords! Love knowing several variations as all of them do sound a bit different, while the notes are the same, octaves are different which makes it sound different. I'd like to give back and also share a tidbit about a basic major chord barre shapes you mentioned with you too! Like in the intro at like 0:52 how you were showing a basic C barre chord "E-shape barre in the 8th fret", if you just dropped a fret on the D string, you'd also have a CMaj7 (string order-E,A,D,G,B,e): [8,10,9,9,8,8] as notes would be: C (1st),G (5th),B (maj7),E (3rd),G (5th) ,C (1st) tho I omit the high E string as to me it sounds off even though it does belong, it's a repeat of the root. It's much easier to play if you re-learn to swap your pinki and ring finger strings, so you're not trying to slide your pinki back a fret under your ring finger :) now if you removed a finger entirely from the D string, it now becomes a C7. [8,10,8 (Bb),9,8,8]. From that spot you can do C, CMaj7, C7, Csus, Cm, C7sus, Cm7, and probably others I forgotten all by moving and/or removing a finger or two. [8,10,10,10,8,8] Csus. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), C(1), F(sus4), G(5), C(1) [8,10,8,10,8,8] C7sus. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), Bb(7), F(sus4), G(5), C(1) [8,10,10,9,8,8] C. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), C(1), E(3), G(5), C(1) [8,10,9,9,8,8] CMaj7. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), B(maj7), E(3), G(5), C(1) [8,10,8,9,8,8] C7. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), Bb(7), E(3), G(5), C(1) [8,10,10,8,8,8] Cm. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), C(1), Eb(m3), G(5), C(1) [8,10,8,8,8,8] Cm7. Notes and degree: C(1), G(5), Bb(7), Eb(m3), G(5), C(1) Such an amazing concept too, to take simple barres you already know and learn minor changes in how you hold it to get several voicings! Great base reference too, to easily play any of these knowing your base major chord as one of these barre shapes E or A so you can jump right into it and think "ok I want this variant so I just move this finger..." Give it a try :) Its the same technique as your 5th string root "A-shape barre in the 3rd fret" where all you do is lower the G-string by 1 fret [x,3,5,4,5,3] as notes would be: C (1st),G (5th),B (maj7),E (3rd),G (5th), again if you remove your finger from the G string it becomes a C7. You can also get the same variants I mentioned above just by moving and/or removing a finger or two with this shape as well.
Hey damian your channel is awsome dude. Im a rythym player at heart and love rockabilly and jazz and like to dabble in lead sometimes but the type of leads that have a good feel and are fun, not a million notes in a minute. You make the lessons easy to follow and learn. Your a good dude i respect you as a guitar player and as a human being. Great lessons and great messages to inspire people.👍
I just took that picture last week. I was in the area picking up some dinner. About 5 or 6 years ago I played at the Casino. That was really fun. I had always wanted to play there. Thanks for watching the lessons. :)
I do too. Greetings from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA! I love Brazil! Was there in 1964 while in the Navy...walked the Ipanema Beach and loved it there! Cheers! :)
1) You say you are In Florida, but are wearing a Boston shirt. I'm confused, is Florida a band too? 2) I need more videos like this. Yes, from YOU! 3) people disliking videos, I get it... but just the Gibson ES 125 is enough to NOT DISLIKE this video. 4) So you just LO KEY showed off your Gibson, huh? Did you know we (the Bacci followers) notice that instantly? The beard doesn't hdistract us from your amazing axes, bro!
Glad you dug the video and yes the Es-125 is brand new to me and I absolutely love. I'll be featuring the guitar soon on the channel as well as some info about it. Cheers :)
Thank you Bob. I've got a couple of videos where these chords are used. One example would be my lesson on how to play a chord melody arrangement of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". :)
Damian, another great video. That guitar must have been strung up with flat wounds because I didn't hear any string rattling as you slid up and down the neck. Again, great lesson, thanks for sharing!
Are you refering to the C9 with the root on the 6th string? That grip has the same fingering on the A, D, G & B string as the Cm7b5 when you omit the 6th string root but it's played on the 7 & 8th fret. The Cm7b5 is fingered on the A, D, G & B string on the 3rd & 4th fret.
its guys like you who make me not frustrated with learning on youtube. most how tos i have to fast forward through half the video to get to anything worthwhile. thank you for cutting to the chase and giving valuable information throughout.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the lesson. :)
Great videos; judging by your shirt and your posters we are brothers in arms; our musical tastes are definitely varied and widespread. Thank you!
Thank you Vayabroder. Much appreciated.
Keep on rockin' brother! :)
you're right Damian makes following these chords a lot easier than wading through pages of chord books thanks dude
Thank you for watching Mark :)

Great video! Positive, clear, direct, and short. Thanks!
Thank you very much. :)
Great video! Great oral instructions. Great demonstration! Great way to show the chord diagram along side the guitar fretboard fingering! Thank you!
Dude thank you so much, all the other videos had me even more confused. But yours helped me learn so much
Thank you for watching the lesson. Glad to hear the video was helpful. :)
Nice lesson Damian. Thank you for taking the time to put this up. Regards. Guy👍

Great video, but do you have any videos showing songs or progressions to put these chords into action?
Thank you Bob. I've got a couple of videos where these chords are used. One example would be my lesson on how to play a chord melody arrangement of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". :)
Damian, another great video. That guitar must have been strung up with flat wounds because I didn't hear any string rattling as you slid up and down the neck.
Again, great lesson, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Paul and yes, you are correct. The guitar is strung with flatwounds. :)
Keep on Rockin'
DAMIAN
69 now, if only you could have shown me this when I was 14 or so. You would have save me 5 years easily!!! LOL.
I hear ya greatvanzinni. I fell the same way lol. When I first joined my High School Jazz Band, a video like this would have been a big help to me.
Do u do personal training classes for absolute beginnings?
❤️
Awsome
Thank you Vince. Much appreciated. :)
Anybody know anyone giving jazz guitar lessons in person. I’m in ATL
C9 and Cm7b5 (Root on A string) has same voicings and chord shapes.
Am I missing Somethin???
I'm Confused Rn
Are you refering to the C9 with the root on the 6th string? That grip has the same fingering on the A, D, G & B string as the Cm7b5 when you omit the 6th string root but it's played on the 7 & 8th fret. The Cm7b5 is fingered on the A, D, G & B string on the 3rd & 4th fret.
@@Damianblf I see, thank you. Also, if possible make a video on cube dance and how to use it.
How do I use these fine chords?
