This is so good ! Has helped immensely. Thank you 🙏 Question: I can see the chord (name) of each shape corresponds with the note of the ring finger placement each time on the 4th string (root note?) - but don't follow why that is?
Yes, you are correct great job! These chord shapes are based on Major and Minor barre chords shapes, where the root note would normally be located on the low E-string. What we did here is we simply removed the barre, leaving the E, B, and high e strings open. Since the low is now open, we would have to find the root note elsewhere. The best place to find it would be on the D-string as you said, because this note would be the same note (an octave higher) as the note that would be played on the E-string with the barre in place. Hope that makes sense! But yes, the root note in this case can be located on the D-string. Thanks for pointing that out!
5:51 (I) E major 6:22 (ii) f# minor 7 add 11 6:33 (iii) g# minor add ♭13 7:11 (IV) A major add 9 8:10 (V) B major add 11 8:49 (vi) c# minor 7 9:32 (♭VII) D# major add 9, 13 10:12 (I) E major These chords are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing! I messed around a little with moving the fretted notes from open chords around and really loved some of the sounds, but it never occurred to me how to do it so methodically. I will also check out your other videos using a similar two shapes trick for the keys of A and D. Now you’ve inspired me to try to do something similar with the remaining CAGED chords: C and G, though I can see that I’ll probably have to omit the open strings that plays the third of the scale.
Well that’s great !! Ya know the E major was the first chord I learned and E minor was the next so I learned some basic songs in the key of E but I had no idea that you could move the position up and down and create other chords. Thank you for the lesson and your time !!
Great lesson! I see that one commenter noted that Melissa uses this progression. Even before Melissa, George Harrison used it on All Things Must Pass, and later, Tom Petty used it on Into The Great Wide Open.
Life has a way of struggles and pain. N all we as common folks just want to live, life and except the struggles of living, working, raising a family, growing and experience the passing of loved ones … and this is our story….With out being oppressed. This song is a calling. Just like the 60’s and the history of all humanity .. Thank you for all your honesty in your song. Love America ❤️
Thank you so much for putting this lesson even with chord diagrams ! Looking forward on seeing more helpful guitar lessons from you in the future ,! Again thanks ! !
With a Twist of mixolydian mode when playing the D chord. Nice touch. We wouldn't want to offend anyone's ears with the diminished chord clashing against the E strings😂
The diminished chord does not clash with the E major it actually does the strongest resolve from the greatest tension to verify that the E major is the key that you’re in and if you played a half diminished chord, it would actually strengthen and point to the C-sharp minor chord E flat half diminished points two to C-sharp minor Aeolian chord
Thanks for your time and help in explaining it in simple terms. What are some other chord shapes that can be moved around in similar ways up and down the neck?
Really enjoyed your lesson... so beautiful in all its simplicity... never thought of doing a mix of just 2 chord shapes... Thank you so much... greetings from the Netherlands
You're from the Netherlans? I have just two things to say to you. 1. Golden Earring 2. Radar love. An open D shape up and down. You're probably too young!
@@johndoyle5706 wish you were right Sir... probably i am not too young... Golden Earring and Radar love indeed are Dutch Golden Era of Rock&Roll... how about the Tielman Brothers... many Dutch musicians (including myself) consider them to the roots of Rock&Roll in the Netherlands of that time... anyway in am 77 and thank you for your assumption....
I knew this. I was thought this years ago, however, this was one of my first Alman Brothers Band. "Melissa". I used the same method. Again using the E Major scale. You used D major chord instead of a D# Diminished chord. I am going to figure that out. How ever using the D chord is the down shift. Like using a Bb Chord on a C major scale.
Yes, using a flatted major chord is a good substitution for the diminished chord that I fel is a little more practical and useful. So instead of D#dim, we simply flat that to a regular D and play it as a major chord. Same thing for the key of C, we flat the Bdim to a Bb and make it a major chord. It's a nice little modification!
You can use your pinky, ring and middle finger for major chords. If you position your index finger a fret behind your middle finger all you need to do is lift your middle finger to go to minor, and plant it back down for major.
Thank you and happy to hear you enjoyed the lesson! The PDF practice guide is linked in the description of the video and essentially summarizes everything in this lesson so that you can continue to practice with it!
Hi Taylor Dean. Mark here from Australia. Great lesson. Do you plan to do similar ones for the C shape, F Shape and A shapes. Much better than Bar chords, in my humble opinion that is.
I have watched this a couple of times.but I am a little slow mentally. How do you know which chord you are playing? Could you explain each chord and why it is what it is?
perhaps a "dumb" Question? Re: Roman Numerals - for the MINOR Chords, would those Numbers not be written in small letters & MAJOR Chords written as Capital Letters? or just here, are all Caps used mainly for ease of Explanation? I've never "formally" learned what the Roman Numerals meant (but I definitely am clearer on a few things thanks to your great explanations!). but just want to make sure I understand everything overall? Open to anyone who might even understand my Question! Thanks!
Maestro. My name is wiener and i love so much your explanation and i understand it very well its look like the caged system bu i never understand it now your system is fantastic my only problem is the 7th chord in the progression should be aminor7thflat5 i dont see it plse explain tku
This is so good ! Has helped immensely. Thank you 🙏

This is the best and simplest lesson I've learn as a beginner , thanks a million . Please could you do one in the key of D .
You got me in the first 3 seconds! Great teaching style. Thanks.

You THE guitar 🎸 MAN thank youuuuuu😊
Great lesson!
Thank you so much ❤
introduction of bread's 「make it with you」is a very good example using these chord shapes😊
Fantastic stuff, Thx. Sounds like Lightfoot or Bread chords. Pretty, indeed.
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you. Love this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This lesson has needed to be know by every guitarist
Good calm teacher

Is it possible to make these shapes for other keys? 😊
Yes! I will be creating some more lessons on how you can play in other keys across the neck using similar chord shapes!
You can use your pinky, ring and middle finger for major chords. If you position your index finger a fret behind your middle finger all you need to do is lift your middle finger to go to minor, and plant it back down for major.
very effective way to teach...tyvm
Does the spread out version of the E chord have a name ? And thank you for making guitar 🎸 life more fun 🤩
As a song writer this is great
Love the lesson keep it going. Would like to play myself
Rock on!
Simply said thank ypu
Thank you John!
TD, nice lesson on the progression and tying it up with the progression available in the key of E Major. Thank you and Guitar Building Blocks!
Thanks so much for your support Roberto!!
Awesome, son.
Thanks awesome 👏
Great lessons Taylor!
I have to ask one question.
Isn't the 7th chord a diminished or 1/2 diminished?
Very good teaching style.
I am guessing this is a part of the caged system..e of caged?
Great video !!
Thanks!
Great Job,.... Thank You!
very useful - thank you
Great lesson! Thanks!
Excellent method of teaching, will definitely subscribe. Only suggestion ur fretboard is distracting a quick clean should fix.
Great vid. You have a new subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
Great lesson. The E Major chord is my favorite chord. Is the pdf and tabs separate from the video chapters listed below the main video?
