    0:00 - Intro
    We all know and love open guitar chords, but sometimes, they can lack a strong emotion a chord progression needs. In this lesson, you'll learn FIVE chord shapes that sound beautiful and can sometimes replace your open chords!
    Here are the FIVE chord shapes that you should replace your open guitar chords with
    1:27 - E minor Add9
    Keep the regular E minor shape and place your first finger on the 2nd fret of the A string and your pinky on the 4th fret of the D string. All of the other strings are left open creating a very different and luscious sound from the original chord.
    2:36 - A sus2
    Make an A major chord but then remove your finger off the B string, and that’s it! You can play the A sus2 chord instead of an A major chord to create a pretty chord progression.
    4:09 - “Special” E major
    The E major chord is another beginner guitar chord you might already know. What makes this shape so special is that you can move it all around the neck of the guitar. When you strum the open strings that surround your finger on the fretboard, they emit very colorful notes.
    5:44 - F major7#11
    To play this chord, put your first finger on the 1st fret of the low E string, your third finger on the 3rd fret of the A string, your pinky on the 3rd fret of the D string, and your middle finger on the 2nd fret of the G string. If you’re familiar with major bar chord shapes, you’ll notice that this chord is essentially the major shape but with the bar lifted.
    7:22 - A minor9
    Place your middle finger on the 5th fret of the low E string, your third finger on the 5th fret of the D string, and your pinky on the 5th fret of the G string. It’s not difficult to play and can create some cool harmonies when moved around the guitar.

    I have to say I am more of a piano/ keyboard player in a working band and also have played rhythm guitar for years, but because we are a Rock & Roll band I play the basic open chords and bar chords. That has always worked but I have grown to love the guitar yet feel limited. I have always wanted to learn new chords or different variations of the ones I know. There are a lot of guitar lesson videos out there. I just found yours yesterday and have seen 2 lessons. Your lessons are the best I have seen yet. Again I already know enough to play half the songs at our gigs on guitar and know hundreds more. I have been told by our lead guitarists through the years that I chop very good Rhythm cause hey, like John Lennon once said, the best Rock and Roll is simple Rock & Roll. That doesn't change the fact I still want to learn more for my own personal playing pleasure. I love your style of teaching and I hbave subscribed. Thanks a lot Ayla!

    • @sounder9393
      @sounder9393 3 роки тому +1

      I knew most E and A based chords were movable without the bar. Because it's the key of E. And what are the 3 open strings? 2 Es and an A. You can't really go wrong. Some of the open chords sound unusual but they sound good.

As an intermediate guitar player, I'm always looking for fresh perspectives, bc let's face it, there are so many ways for those who are not very proficient, like myself, sound and play better without being complicated and discouraging!!
