@@seandaniel23 I hope it doesn’t sound weird when I say this, but it’s true when I say that you’ve influenced my guitar playing more than any other famous guitar player. You and Pete Honore over at Andertons.
I saw this video saturday night and used these chords at church the next morning for a song which just happens to use the very same chords. I used the stairway to heaven Am in the chorus and took what was a very boring to play worship song to another level. Great lesson Sean!
@@Texturas75 Yes I feel honored Good advice too. I actually love learning songs but hate learning lead so I'm the reverse. But I'm practicing more lately
I've always been mostly watching this channel for the life advice, but I have to say I'm starting to realize there are some actual really good guitar tips sprinkled in there! Well done good sir ;)
Try putting your thumb over the top and playing G,C,D. The dots will land your thumb on target and your thumb will land your F shape triad on target. You will be a much more interesting player with slides and Hendrix embellishments. Aim your pinky at the notes of the 12th fret and play that major key and the relative minor. You already know all your pentatonic shapes. Play 2 notes per string and blaze into another pattern. Play the modes and stay in the same position. Flat the 7 and play the 5, (1,4,5) sharp the 3 and play the 4 (1,4,5). Your playing will be much more interesting. You will sound more natural and less formulaic. Song writing will be much easier. Staying in key doesn't matter because moving to another the key of the 4 or 5 always sounds good. There are no bad notes. Stay off the couch, keep making videos and start your own Hallmark Channel.
Really good advice in a really cool manner. I dig how you make guitar more approachable for people who don't have a lot on their plate. Not rushing so hard. Very nice teaching technique.
This dude would fit into any group of friends. Like, if you have a core group of 5 friends and was interviewing for a 6th... he'd be the guy you'd pick to join the crew.
@@seandaniel23 You had me at, "The people's key." But seriously... I have a friend named Marc (yes spelled with a "C") that looks just like you with similar mannerisms and sense of humor. He's a good dude and good friend. But I could always use another Marc with a C doppelgänger!
I think the advertising about being a guitar player before these amazing videos from beautiful guitar playing musicians forgets the fact that we aren't just learning lead guitar we are trying to play and learn music....I'm frustrated by ads....or just moody....have a great day Sean and thank you for your videos.
I like the suggestions for varying open chords (basic church music, for instance) with other shapes to add some variety and flavor. Intermidiately speaking, of course. Another great lesson. Thanks for the good stuff!
If you click on that link in the vid description, it’ll take you to the product and then if you want to get something else just navigate from there and I should still get credit! Thanks for supporting the channel.
Very instructive.thank you.one thing though,I noticed how thin the guitar sounded.maybe these are Gibson’s cheap guitars.Anyway your Taylor sounds better and mellower
Maybe a pro adult tip you might want to talk about a little bit as well is what to do when you get to the G spot. I think you mentioned the C spot and the D spot but it’s definitely not as important.
I have a weird problem. Seems like you would be the perfect guy to ask. Whenever I play bar chords are anything really where the pinky and ring finger share a fret. My pinky always goes on top. I try to to do it the right way. But my pinky ant into it. I like learning new chord shapes. Seams the more I learn the more this is a issue. Would it be better to use my thumb on this are to just keep arguing with my pinky?
Loads and loads. Practice slowly and diligently. It’s frustrating. Keep working at it until you stop noticing. For me when I got comfortable doing something while concentrating, I would try to do it while watching tv.
I appreciate that y’all. I’m having fun learning. Feel like I’m nailing bar chords lately, are at least way better. But my ring and pinky want to play crisscross applesauce game. It works until i go from like a major bar chords to like a bar 7 chord. Thats when things get out of “hand”. ( I know that was a dad joke Mybad) Thanks for the advice guys. I’m gonna keep going at. My best friend died back in Nov. Since then I’ve been diving into learning how to actually play and understand the guitar. I like this dudes Chanel. He seems to break things down where I can get my mind around it
@@jasonknowles7967 play the major chord scales to distract yourself eg G, Am, Bm, C, D7, Em, F#m7b5 (or at least F#m), G. It’s hard at first but the chord and scale memorizing distract you from the hand business. It worked for me anyway.
I saw Molly Tuttle a couple of weeks ago. Her right hand is so fast, that even live it's like watching an old Bruce Lee movie where he was so fast the camera couldn't keep up. Her picking is amazing, even if it is just a blur.
Hmm...you may have stumbled across, or into the truth about this gal...who you say, plays the guitar. So, (i'd say 100%, but ya know), we're just going to call our conclusions a done deal. This Molly, is likely a person, who exists, mostly in reality, and knows at least how to play a guitar. The "fast right hand" that is "just a blur" is just a cover for not knowing how to play something. But, nice try, Mike....at least, judging by your name, you're incredibly attractive, be thankful for that. God BLESS You All.
There are a lot of beginner adults out there in their 40`s and 50`s. They just refuse to grow up. I guess they will be stuck playing open chords forever.
OK, now I'm ready ... only I don't want to *Face the Day* (feels good, though). And maybe I'm not ready for it either, but at least a bit further on the way. (Which will do me fine. For now I can just approximate the tricky bits). ua-cam.com/video/NNrrG2tbRZg/v-deo.html Yeeeah Hahhh! Daggers of dawn, cold hearted day, why does it have to be morning?!! Let's go go go!!
Hmm ... maybe I should just go to the beach with the *Hoodoo Gurus* and think about that girl I used to want to have back when I had no sense at all, instead? I at least have chords somewhere for *I Want You Back* (but not the right surfboard - mine's made of air). ua-cam.com/video/Ov_ByEAACok/v-deo.html Maybe I should just stick with getting a kick out of the idea of not being able to face the day after all? Difficult choices.
I watched my Celtics trash the Bucks yesterday; Here's my take away. All intermediate humans (ages 35 until death) should stop wearing Jerseys with a 20 yr. old kid's name on the back. In terms of guitar, I don't know what I am, I just know it's not good enough. As a coffin dodger, it won't matter much relatively soon. Kevin O'Rourke
I couldn’t even do jury duty because I don’t believe in punishment. I only believe in forgiveness. It’s like a religion so if they made me do jury duty, I would intentionally make it a hung jury.
OK, someone help me out. I can’t figure out what American accent this dude has. He usually has a dip then rise in pitch at the end of his sentences. Help!
I know your guitar lessons don't always get the views your other videos do, but these are great. Definitely appreciate them!
I'll keep em coming!

By the way, I have been waiting all my life for a jury summons. Never have got one.
@@joeredman8161 Do you register to vote? I heard that's how they randomly select. Idk?
There's beginner and intermediate but what about mediocre. I'm that guy that only does just enough and never gets to the next level.
hmmm, good question
Hey! So that's the question that ignited the mediocre-themed video!

Ignoring jury duty is the first rule of bird law. Filibuster
Don’t worry we will all get to our hot plates soon enough.

and then the ad in the middle cracks me up and I do love SweetWaters I got my Strat from em.
maybe I should just shut up....best idea yet. haha

fantastic lesson, once again Sir Sean.
Thanks Drew!
Same shapes, moving up the fretboard, different keys 🔑 but ignore jury duty ? No sir !!! I said good day !!! 😂great vid as usual ✌🏼
Hey Sean How do I order from Sweetwater so your channel gets credit?

I’m an intermediate and sure esteem to get better - way better! Keep bringing on the tips! Thanks!

Very reminiscent of welcome to the machine or seek up. I like it.
Thanks so much!
Hi Sean, really helpful lesson.
Thanks!
Thanks for that , live the 7 chords :)
Nice guitar bud! I almost bought one of these a month ago!
Thanks! I'm loving it!
Thank you for another great lesson. Very helpful!!!
Thanks for watching Joe!
That shirt is superb sir!

You’ll get there, sometimes it takes awhile then you’ll just notice you’re doing it with much less effort then no effort. This was bar chords for me.

The progression is in C Lydian. I know that because I am an advanced adult ;)
You're doing great!
Fill out the jury duty papers sloppily misspelled with crayon. 🤷♂️ I'm not saying how I know this will get you out of jury duty. 😏🤣

R you planning to teach more ukulele? 😁
I definitely would be down if enough people are interested.
Meant I love ❤️ the 7 chords

Why bother with the muting when you could simply use an enormous blue capo to shift things up?
Hahaha, I can see that capo from here. Where did that come from?!
Good video
Mahe Ohna ✌️ Favour ALL
Thanks for watching!
This sounds like my perfect chord as the one thing I am good at on guitar is muting strings!!!
There you go!

Never open the door to go anywhere and nothing will happen.

Jury duty is a civic responsi..oh never mind
I couldn’t even do jury duty because I don’t believe in punishment. I only believe in forgiveness. It’s like a religion so if they made me do jury duty, I would intentionally make it a hung jury.
You can get out of jury duty by telling them you’re vegan.
The more you know!

No clue.
I hope all intermediate tips aren't how to make your chord progressions sound worse 🤔
What the hell is an "intermediate?"
