📺 ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
In this guitar lesson, Steve Stine shows you a very common and useful way to play three of the most common open guitar chords, The G C and D chords.
Using this method, it not only makes switching between them easier, it sounds great, and is used in many, many popular songs.
It might take a little practice (as most things), but I think you'll like the outcome as you continue on your guitar journey.
Remember to be patient, and practice over and over to develop muscle memory.

I am a new player (6 mths in, I am 65). I found this GCD relationship simply by learning them one at a time then stringing them together. This guitar thing is really quite a blast.
60 and started 5 months ago. Keep it going Dan
40 and started 3 months ago. rock it Dan!
55 here. Still waiting for the calluses!!!! wish i could buy them on Ebay.... i suck but this guy teaches in a way its less intimidating....
44 been playing since I was 12 still learning
Bueno 61 been learning since 74 this guy is good it’s so much easier so many song to play with this chord is progression thank you brother
Awesome. "Unapologetically... you don't have to tell anyone" hahahaha golden!
PRO TIP: You can also play an Em and Am from this position.
I just started learning to play the guitar a month ago. I've been practicing the 4-finger open G chord because it was easier for me to switch to the D chord. I didn't know you can play a C chord (or C at 9) from that open G shape. Goodness, there is so much to learn. This is really useful. Thank you for the tip.
Hi. The chord is called Cadd9. It's a regular C chord with the 9th scale degree added. I know what you're thinking, major scales only have 7 notes! The 9th is from the 2nd octave of the scale - the same note as the 2nd degree. Anyway, all that matters is that it functions like a C chord and that you're having fun!
As a new player watch some videos on The Circle of 5ths. It's basically a cheat sheet of what Chords sound good together. That's how people write songs that sound good. It will blow your mind. All the mystery of how songs just fit perfectly will amaze you. You will be able to write your own tunes in a day.
This c chord, I think is called the C sus 9. It happens to be my all time favourite chord. Very elegant.
@DaveeLe you can also leave your pinky and ring finger in place and move your pointer and middle to the Em position for an Em7. Sounds very 90s.
Sounds like you’re making good progress. The Cadd9 is a good one to know.
I remember learning this progression back in 2006, wow 12 years ago and still suck at guitar lol
Ha! Just keep trying to make the change, Alex! There are days I wake up and wonder if I took a few steps back myself!
@@Guitarzoom 😄
Me too....
@@Guitarzoom That supportive reply is really lovely. Good man, you are. Keep up the good work.
me three!
I just started playing guitar 30 years ago, and I can whole heartedly say that this is a great lesson!
Are you good?
How old are you
Lol “just started 30 years ago.”
Sorry to be a grammar nazi but the word “just” implies that you started very recently. E.g. “I’ve just got home” or “I’ve just finished work” both mean that those tasks were the last thing you did and are immediately relevant and to the present. Whereas “I’ve just been playing guitar for 30 years…” isn’t quite right as playing for 30 years isn’t the last thing you did before typing this comment; rather, it is a long term project that you have worked on to achieve your skill level to date. Hope that helps (in case English isn’t your first language) 👍
@@AbCd-lw5vs ever heard to word „irony“?
This lesson is "ESSENTIAL" for every guitar player on Earth. It Simplify s the chord movement! I remember I keep learning new things off guys in the neighborhood that's what probably advanced me the most in the late sixties early seventies we didn't get real good until the mid 70s! The teachers that you get like this guy is fantastic! You'll advance a lot quicker. One on one is the most important at first! They can position your wrist how it should bend to make a certain chord shape, where you can't do that on a video. Speaking of 55 plus of playing guitar
Hi Jim! Thanks for your comment and kind words! Video lessons are great but if you can get a one on one lesson that will definitely help. As you say, specially for very beginners. Sometimes the most difficult part is just how to hold the guitar and how to place your hands on the instrument! Thanks again for your feedback and sharing your story! 🙂
I've watched a couple dozen of your videos. I've learned so much from you. Your an amazing teacher. Thank you for all your efforts.
Learned this as a kid learning Bon Jovi, Wanted Dead or Alive..... Always stuck with me after that.
Hey!! Wow, Now this is just what I needed. I had an accident a few years ago where I had cut off my left middle fingertip. Now I am missing 3/4 inch of that finger. I used to play some as a youngster (now 63) I took up my guitar again before this accident. I was really killing it again till the accident. Since I have struggled to finger the cords. I want to thank you for your insightful instruction here. This cord combination put me back on to an amazing road to relearning. I also want to say that I have noticed a few well know bluegrass pickers use these same cords. Since You showed this to me, it pops out immediately. Again, Thank You!! (by the way, your instruction technique is one of the best I've seen!)
Django Reinhardt also used these chords as his third and fourth fingers were badly injured in a fire and he didn't have much movement in them.
I figured this out last week myself, and I’m so glad to see you teaching it here!
after 5 years trying the GCD progression i'm giving in to this new one Thank you Steve
This was a huge help for a beginner. G and D weren’t bad but C was killing me for some reason and that connection with the 3rd finger to these 3 chords is really helping me. Thanks man.
It's handy in certain situations, but don't neglect learning the basic C chord as it makes transitions to some other chords far easier than the Cadd9 used in this video.
And for me this chords sound way more beautiful, especially the C and G chords reminded me of songs from my favorite band! Nice
Noel Gallagher has built a very healthy back catalogue over the last 30 years on this.
That and a 5$ capo
I have a good friend who never hit the big time but has been playing professionally most of his life. I Learned a lot by watching him and I noticed him using the four finger G. I use it sometimes myself.
I've also tried the four finger G once. xD jk I do it all the time. The techniques in this video can be expanded upon for many other chords as well, and it really shines when used for finger play or learning chord progressions.
Great info. 65 and having trouble with the C chord. So much easier on the hand and wrist.
TY 👍
Love this one..easy to follow the way..he move his finger..love it..
He is absolutely 100% correct newbies pay attention
Thank you. I will be using this going forward.
Steve I love that way you play the C chord to the G and D chord. I will try it . Look forward to seeing more easy videos.😊❤
I'm not a beginner at all; I happened to stumble upon this video looking for stuff for my students (some of Steve's other lessons have helped me over the years), but MAN that TONE. So rich and full. Leave it to him to take something so fundamental to the next level!
Very useful video. Thank-you.
This is Paul how ya doing Steve, like your site best ever, I'm 69 playing since 1969, played in public off and on around 40 years. Still practice now every day , still learning , thanks for what you do 👍
Always great help
Ty Steve. Great tutor, great tips, great Chanel.
Thanks for the clear and useful video!
Gr8 insight and useful info, well presented. Beautiful guitar and tone.
Really helpful, I've been struggling with this for ages, this is a great fix, now I can move on.
Always great info and easy to follow
Thank you!! Really really helpful!!
Thank you Steve, very helpful.
It's cool. Have been doing it for many many years
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that!!! Excellent!!!!!
I’m not into rock but the advice and knowledge you give is priceless
Hey thanks for describing that last Minute of playing where you lifted and hammered some of those 5 & 6 strings and/or 3 &4 strings
a really great short lesson.....this will be a big help....thanks, Steve
Hey! Thanks so much for your comment. Glad to know the lesson was helpful! Any questions feel free to ask anytime!
Awesome Steve!
Wow.! So gunna try it thanks 🙏🏻
Great easy to follow lesson!
Thanks man. This was cool.
Love it! Thanks! Will add that to my practice 🥰
Awesome! Glad the lesson was helpful. 🙂
Easy to understand and not a lot of talking! I like Steve!
Been using the trick my entire life-
But it’s still interesting to watch you explain it.
Fun stuff.
Great insight my brother for the C D and G chords, I'll start looking for this more as l continue to learn guitar, its really good the way you taught this because it eliminates alot of movement etc
Thanks Much. and by the way good looking guitar.
That C chord is killer, Steve. As soon as You played it, I could hear it in songs: Third Eye Blind come to mind. It has a slight dissonance. I will use it, when that jangle works with the song. Thanks a lot!
There's so many useful ways to use chords like these. And really, you don't need to stop there. Just try several open chords, and let the music fly.
Almost All pop songs can be played using those three chords.
Depending on the 3EB song, it might be a C chord but it might not be this one! Alternate tunings in a lot of 3EB songs. Semi Charmed is in standard but I'm pretty sure it's just a normal C shape.
That was really cool!
Love love your channel!
Thank you for this lesson
Hi Roland! My pleasure. Any questions please feel free to ask anytime!
G C D... It's all you really need. Now go out and ROCK!!!
I am a supporter of learning as many chord shapes and variants as possible so that players have the most options to choose from to create amazing sounds.
That's a great approach, Weston! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. :-)

Interesting. I have so much trouble playing the C chord so this was really helpful
That is brilliant and yet so simple! Thanks so much
You are very welcome!
Thank you 😊
You are a great teacher! Thanks for your knowledge sharing !
Hi Sylvie! My pleasure! Thanks for your comment and glad to know you like the lessons. Keep up the great work!
Just came across this video and it was really really helpful. Been playing on acoustic to start and have been STRUGGLING on this switch up. Thanks for helping a rookie out!!
Hi Clint! Really happy to know it helped! Thanks for your comment and any questions please feel free to ask anytime!
Another useful thing to realise switching from G to 'regular' C is that the three open strings D, G, B form a first inversion G chord and require no fingers to play. That allows you to lift your fingers when transitioning from G a bit earlier to hit that C chord. It's something a lot do instinctively, but helps to understand why it works. You can actually play all three chords using just the top three strings (G,B,E) which can sound great finger picked, or with a heavy sound (basically what Young did in Back to Black).
Hope that made sense! Only been playing three years here, guitar is fun stuff and looking for more efficient ways to play things can help kick your understanding on :)
Great stuff. One yr into learning ( aged 64) and I can do this. Ya dancer ( as we say in Scotland 🏴) 😊
Thank you. I prefer to not play the typical C shape unless I use a capo as my fingers are somewhat small. Excellent lesson.
Awesome!
Wow !!! Thank You so much !!! What a great tip!!! Ya know I’ve been retired for a few years now and since I had more time , I wanted to really devote more time to my guitar playing but was very reluctant because of my severe arthritis!!! But now with this tip you taught me !!! I can play the c chord easy !!! I just need practice !!!thanks again man !!! 🙂🙂🙂
Hi Kenneth! My pleasure! Thanks for your comment and for sharing. So happy to know the lesson and tips have helped out. You got it! Practice is the key and don't be too hard on yourself. This takes time and patience. Keep up the great work!
Boy, I hear ya! I've gone from being in a band to having two strokes & now having arthritis in my wrist. Really cramps your style, I tell ya. I'm virtually learning over. But Steve is fantastic & I've picked up *so much* here...good luck to you too.
Best explanation so far.
Great reminder to use the Cadd9 instead of the “standard” C chord when transitioning from a G chord (which I usually play with 4fingers, because I like the sound more than the 3finger G chord) 👍🏾 (just started 3 months ago 😎🤘🏾)
Totally awesome
Dude you have taught me so much...Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Jefferey! :-)

Hi Wilma! My pleasure. Glad to know the lesson was helpful. Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for your comment.
Sweet, I had a mini stroke 8 years ago and I never lost the ability to play the guitar but my “what” to play was lost. Now almost 9 years later i’m starting to get it back. The brain is an amazing thing. GOD Is an amazing thing \0/. Now if I can only retain what Ive learned from you LOL. Be blessed😎
Great lesson and great teaching style. Liked and subscribed.
Awesome! Glad to know you liked the lesson.Thanks for the sub and any questions please feel free to ask!
I've been working on learning how to switch between the three chords and its always been a struggle. Thank you so much for this neat trick!
I'm glad I could help you!
Very nice, absolute beginner here 🎸 🙏 thanks
Nice tip!!
Wow ...C Add9.... cheers from Canada...
I am learning to play acoustic and am very early on in my lessons, but the common open chords are my focus at the moment. UA-cam suggested this video and I thought to give it a listen. This was an EXCELLENT little nugget, well done, straight forward, very clear and I learned something. Perhaps I wont be doing this type of C right now, BUT as I am looking at guitarists closer now and watching and listening, I will now be aware that perhaps that odd looking chord change may just be this C@9 way of doing the C! I learned something very cool from a very cool video. Again, nice job and thank you for sharing your passion with others so that they may discover a new passion!

Hi Mary! Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked it.
Hmm this is how I think "Run Away to Mars" by TALK works only with a fancy Em7 in there too, which also leaves the ring finger planted. And a Dsus4 too.
Thank you, that is awesome

Just a heads-up, the special discount and bonuses for Steve’s brand new course Music Theory Made Easy 2.0 ends tonight.
Go here for details → guitarzoom.com/musictheorymadeeasy20/promo/
Whether you’re just starting out or if you’ve been playing for years, learning music theory can take your playing to the next level. Because you won’t just memorize some chords, or play a scale over and over a hundred times.
When you learn music theory, you’ll discover how scales actually work. How scales generate chords. Why some chords sound good together and others don’t. And which notes to play to create the sound you want with your solo.
Which means, you’ll truly start to understand how music works. So you can take your guitar playing as well as your songwriting to a whole new level.
But the special discount and brand-new bonus courses disappear tonight. Here’s just a few of the bonus courses you get when you order now:

First time here, new guitar player. You earned my sub. Great tutorial
Hi Bert! Awesome! Welcome and any questions feel free to ask anytime!
Hi Steve, unknowingly I already done this when learning to play Alabama., now it will come handy.
Perfect!
Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna learn to play these chords.
By now, I should've somehow realized what I gotta do.
I don't believe that anybody plays these chords the way you do, about right now.
Hi Bob, thanks for posting. Glad to know you liked the lesson. They are pretty common chord shapes especially on acoustic and keeping the common notes makes the changes sound smoother. I really like the Cadd9. Great sound.
"mad for it" 😂
So cool dude idig it thanks
Hey my pleasure! Glad to know the video was helpful. Keep up the good work and thanks so much for commenting!
Nice. I watched the Beatles play "Hard Day's Night" and they use the 4 string G and C chords for that in the same way.
brilliant
Nice little trick, I’m pretty new to guitar so thanks for a great tip 👍
I hope it helps!
Nice guitar .cool
