    Guitar Chords:
    G, F9, E5+, Am7, Em5
    All chords are variations, except for E5+
    It's hard to learn quick switch this chords, but easy to master
    Easy because it's the same pattern for all chords
    Hard because it's finger style
    Music is love

    Thank you, playing this at a funeral tomorrow, really appreciate you figuring this out.

    This helped so much! Another way to play that first chord that is slightly easier for me is literally picking straight down the last 4 strings 5, 5, open, 3. Same chord, without the insane stretch. Then you can switch right back into the alternating picking pattern.

    If anyone finds the placing the first chord difficult, you can try x-x-5-5-0-3 (relative to the capo ;) and the plucking pattern as DGBE (4321) .

    I’m wish I had his other instrument too! It would blend so much better with the uke, which is something I’ve struggled with in recording as a guitar/ukulele player. But you played this really well. Your play through at the end was awesome.

    Very nice Man. This is just what I was looking for.
    If you let me, I'd suggest to take a little more care of the camera angle so we can see more clearly where your guitarrist fingers are on.
    I'm so happy there's people with such audition sensitive.
    Big hug from Spain ;)

      Definitely could have done a better job of that. I'm really busy so I don't have a ton of time to do it but I want to get around to writing a tab for those who need it.
      Thanks for checking it out! Hope it still helped.

    I’m having difficulties with the high tempo (172bpm?) and the subtlety different chord changes. Sometimes it goes over the a minor 7 shape (which actually is the "center-chord"🎾 of the song) and sometimes not. Big thank you and greetings from Germany!

    @gregoryhunter7413 Рік тому

    Hey there! Your video was very helpful and you definitely nailed the notes, but I was tinkering a bit and I think I found a much easier way to play these exact same voicings up the neck and down a set of strings. If you use my method, you put the capo on the 9th fret, and the the shapes to each chord is as follows (relative to the capo).
    X X X X then later X
    3 3 3 3 5
    0 0 0 2 4
    4 2 0 2 2
    5 3 2 0 3
    X X X X 0
    The only part of my way that's tricky is 1, if your guitar doesn't have a cutaway it could be impossible, and 2 the second chord of the chorus is a little harder my way, but for me its a worthwhile switch because it makes the first chord much much easier, and honestly you can just play the first chord of the song in lieu of the actual second chord in the chorus and it will sound only one note different, and pretty much has the same function in context (super cool how the voicing is ambiguous enough to sound like the 1 chord or the 5 chord depending on the surrounding context). Thanks for your video :^)
