    I've been playing guitar for 47 years and consider myself to be a pretty fair player. I already knew the content of this video but it took me a long time to figure it out. I just wanted to say that your teaching method is so good, explaining what needs to be explained without getting overly technical and complicating the message. Unfortunately too many of the youtube guitar teachers either over explain or try to explain in a "music theory" way that makes some of them difficult to understand. Sometimes I think they are just trying to impress people with their knowledge of music theory. Kudos for an excellent video!

    For chord root note on the given string, play chord shape from the low root:
    6:E 3:49 maj 4:21 min
    5:A 5:07 maj 5:20 min
    4:E 6:37 maj 7:10 min
    3:A 8:02 maj 8:46 min
    2:D 10:48 maj 11:17 min (for both major and minor versions also play the chord fifth on the 3rd string)

    I always thought that to play all over the FB you needed four basic shapes utilizing barre chords. Amazed by guitarists playing chords up the neck without using a barre. Now I understand. Thank you so much for this as this is the missing part that allows me to progress. A most beneficial blog for me.
