The major 7 ones are my favorites, I used to play the same shape around the neck jamming randomly, and I was always like "damn this is pretty", and I didn't know their name, I just picked it up from stairway to heaven and started playing it everywhere, so it's good to know all those voicings, thanks sean I've learned a lot with your videos, keep it up!
+comface Thanks! When I started learning a bunch of different arpeggios I noticed that a lot of them were patterns I was already using anyways and it just made things come together easier.
These were actually the first chords I started playing before I ever got into music theory or anything. The sounds are just so compelling and the shapes were easy enough to remember.
Sean, I came across your channel a few days back, and I have been learning so much from all the videos!! Thank you so much for taking out time, uploading the lessons, simplifying chords and theories, love the ease with which you have explained all the modes, chords... Love the vibe!! Thank you once again, you are indeed a great teacher! Love and hugs from India!! :)
Sean, I,see you're playing a Cordoba in this video. I've been thinking about getting a nylon string guitar. Do you have any advice? I see some manufacturers are making hybrid ones that have a radiused neck and narrower nut width that would make it more familiar to someone coming from a steel stringed guitar. Any thoughts? I recently played a La Patrie Etude that was pretty good.
Hi Sean! This video was especially nice for me because I've recently been tinkering around with the Maj7 chords. I really like the chord progression of: Fmaj7, Dm, Cmaj, and Gmaj. I've only been playing the guitar for 1 year now, but I think I've progressed well in that year. Your videos along with your friend Stitch have helped tremendously! Have a good day :)
Thank you . The F maj 7 is my favourite chord too . These voicings of the maj 7 . im wondering they are all moveable right ? so how to know which chord you are playing . Where is the root note ?
love maj 7 chords... but for some reason the E-string rooted ones dont sound as "nice" as the A-, od D-string rooted one... it higher notes are fitting much better! :-)
Haha, well the thing is there really isn't an order. I just wanted to make a bunch of videos to clarify specific questions people had along the way of learning as compared to starting from scratch. I might try to start filling in the gaps and eventually make a list. Thanks for watching!
I think you'd definitely benefit from learning alternative chord voicings. If you have a good grasp on the theory behind chords, you usually only need to play 3 notes of a chord at a time to get the feeling of it. And especially if you can use your thumb to tackle the root note of the chord (on the low E string) then really there's nothing you couldn't play. I'm sure you've probably heard of Django Reinhardt but he's like on of the great guitar players in history and he only really used 3 fingers.
Django is inspiring, this is the first I've heard of him, thank you! you're lessons are great btw...I came to them when first learning guitar 6 months ago but I could not understand...I feel I was not dedicated at the start and it took a long time to progress with theory...in the last month things have moved quickly and your lessons are helping me apply the theory I know to guitar and advance the theory further. also, I love your range of guitars, they are beautiful
This wouldn’t work on guitar, but to create some cool chords keep following the pattern of the maj7. Take a major third, go up a minor third, then go up a major third, then go up a minor third, etc
Those who use Major 7 chords are wimps. To an arranger and band conductor who finished a song with a Major 7 chord, B.B. King turned and said: "You do that again, you're fired!".
+goldaxepie When G is your rote note, you use the major scale intervals (whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half) to get your notes. So the key of G doesn't have an F in it. Most examples use the key of C, which consists of the same note except a regular F.
+Sean Daniel ooo okay perfect . I didn't watch your major vs minor scale before that comment so I didn't understand the whole half layout . thanks for the help :)
what the purpose of this lesson? - chord shapes one can find everywhere in the web. This Spanish guitar Without the dotes and with its nylon sound doesn't fit teaching other music than Sigovia's

+Marcnateoli I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
3:41 How in the flip’n universe did he bar that so well...
Lol is it that difficult 🤣🤣🤣
Woah, that's crazy - I independently came up with that arpeggio while messing around... And I still use it for finger exercise! Great video!
+comface Thanks! When I started learning a bunch of different arpeggios I noticed that a lot of them were patterns I was already using anyways and it just made things come together easier.

Preaching to the choir!

Thanks so much for saying so! Glad they’re helping.
Damn, this was 2 years ago!
When Sean was just a young innocent child, before all the maidens came a knockin'
+Pineapple simpler times
thank you for the lesson, great video mate
great run down, nice to see all the voicings - ty ty
+hol2atio No problem. I love that chord.
'Under A Bridge' by RHCP has a nice single Emaj7 chord as a bridge between verses for another practical example
Probably my favorite example actually.
Funny I was just thinking, the Frusciante Chord. Also there is a major 7 chord used in Can’t Stop
Hi Sean, for not being offense, can you please add some implementation of major 7 chord in guitar playing, like apply in chord progression, thank you
Coolest guitar teacher ever. Thanks!
Thanks so much!! I'll keep the vids coming :)
Damn you never age. You look the same yesterday today and tmr
Thanks, I am learning how to get around it, plus my son loves watching me try, great fun to learn with your 19 year old son. Extreme teasing.
Haha oh no, don't let him give you too much crap.
Great channel! love it.
+Leandro Müller Thanks! I'll keep em coming
Excellent lesson as always Sean but would you be able to use a guitar with marker spots we can see please?
Yes! I learned my lesson and I always try and do that now, thanks for watching! :)
Sean hate to be redundant but beautiful voicing Thanks🎸
Sean, I,see you're playing a Cordoba in this video. I've been thinking about getting a nylon string guitar. Do you have any advice?

This is very helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Great job Sean, you helped me a lot! but could you add an archive with tabs for the shapes you show on the video? it would be really helping :D
+Ivan Riesgo Gomez Great, that's a good idea. I'll put it on the list. Thanks for watching!
Hi Sean! This video was especially nice for me because I've recently been tinkering around with the Maj7 chords. I really like the chord progression of: Fmaj7, Dm, Cmaj, and Gmaj.

+Dirty Socks So great to hear! That's awesome you're getting into those chords after a relatively short amount of time playing :)
I hope there is list of song in major 7 & 6 for worship
Thank you . The F maj 7 is my favourite chord too . These voicings of the maj 7 . im wondering they are all moveable right ? so how to know which chord you are playing . Where is the root note ?
Yup! All moveable, just depends on which one you pick, but it's a great idea to start working your way through voicings and finding the root.
Laughter is everything
You know it!
love maj 7 chords... but for some reason the E-string rooted ones dont sound as "nice" as the A-, od D-string rooted one... it higher notes are fitting much better! :-)
I hear ya. Personally I never met one I didn't like :)
Try voicing it: root, fifth, seventh, third octave up. So Gmaj7 = G-A-F#-hiB (Frets) E-3, A-5, D-4, G-4
Those are some lush cords. I haven't seen the classical guitar yet...is it easy to play?
Yeah I need to start using the classical more. It's great :)
Little confused so would you say it's a raised seventh cause technically the seventh note would be f right?
it's a major 7th
Sean, you have so many videos. Is there an easy way to set you tube up to see them in order?
Haha, well the thing is there really isn't an order. I just wanted to make a bunch of videos to clarify specific questions people had along the way of learning as compared to starting from scratch. I might try to start filling in the gaps and eventually make a list. Thanks for watching!
Sean Daniel that would be amazing! Yes please! Thanks so much!
If you have any great ideas for one that is missing the last inch of their middle finger it would be very helpful. Chords can be a pain.

Another great (but hard) voicing is x-10-9-7-7-7
could you Show it even fasten :-)
When can the Maj7 be used? Anyone with an answer
One the 1st or 4th notes in a key. (but I like to use it everywhere)
@@seandaniel23 thank you so much Sean
An old video - from back before G Major became known as “The People’s Key”
i like dat page
Thanks for watching!
As soon as I heard the chord, I thought of 'Tin Man' by America.
Heard one of your YT peers say the major 7th chord reminds him of sleazy lounge singer, just sayin
Who was it?!?!?! Give me a name!
Marcos Alonso playing guitar
I'll take it :)
Or Juan Mata
Is that Marcos Alonso for real?
Gea
Bea
Eea
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those who use Major 7 chords are wimps. To an arranger and band conductor who finished a song with a Major 7 chord, B.B. King turned and said: "You do that again, you're fired!".
Paul rudd is that you ?
Why is it F# and not just regular F
+goldaxepie When G is your rote note, you use the major scale intervals (whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half) to get your notes. So the key of G doesn't have an F in it. Most examples use the key of C, which consists of the same note except a regular F.

Happy to help! Keep on practicing!

No worries man! Thanks for watching!

This Spanish guitar Without the dotes and with its nylon sound doesn't fit teaching other music than Sigovia's
you come across as weirdly aggressive
