Brilliant! Thank you very much Bob,it's taught me a lot!
Nicely done. I’m brand new to the instrument and will be watching more!
Good lesson
Another good tutorial Thanks.
Great Videos, very informative
Just starting with my new Tenor Guitar tuned in GDAD and hopet to be able to sit in on a session before I move onto the harp. I'm finding your introductory lessons very useful and I hope your still teaching Bob - is there more you've done following these initial videos?
hello Bob, thanks for the lesson. Would you please upload a video of just showing all the chords A5, B5, C5, D5, E5, F5?
Ive been playing the bouzouki with octave mandolin tuning. I dont want to confuse myself with fiddle. Im assuming i just use mando chords then
could you make one for Am? trying to learn the game of thrones song
Christian Emilsson watch the entire video - it’s in there at about 7:00!!
Hi Bob, Cheers for the videos, I have a question about the use of a capo. I have been backing tunes that are in G, with the capo on the 5th fret and moving it up and down the neck for tunes in Em, A or F but even though I can play chords that go with the tune, I have no idea what chords I'm actually playing. I am using the same shapes that I use in an open D position and they seem to fit really well with some tunes, but then there are tunes where I can't find anything that fits... and I very quickly run out of ideas. I'm still pretty new to music theory, but I'm learning slowly. Would it be right to say that a G chord 0-0-2-0 played with a capo on the 5th fret would then be a C chord? and that on the 2nd fret the same shape would be an A ? Would it be possible to use the circle of 5ths for an easy way to convert them ? Any help would be great, Cheers Bob.
Hi Paul, It would be a good idea to learn the note names of all the frets, especially on the lower strings. When you play a chord with the 0-0-2-0 shape, the chord is named after the note on the lowest string. Without a capo, that would be G. And yes, you're right in saying that with a capo on 2 it would be an A (the second fret on the lowest string is A) and with a capo on 5 it would be a C (5th fret on the lowest string is C). Likewise, the shape x-0-0-0 is named after the note on the third (second lowest) string. Without a capo that would be D. The second fret on the third string is E, so x-0-0-0 with a capo on 2 would be E. I hope this helps, Bob.
Bob Gooday thanks Bob, that seems like a pretty strait forward way of knowing the chords, cheers for that it will really help me.
