    0:00 - Intro
    Every guitarist should know these eight chords because they are used forever in your guitar-playing life.
    0:21 - E Major
    The first chord on the list is the first chord many guitarists learn to play.
    0:49 - E Minor
    All you do is remove your first finger from the E Major shape, and you have an E minor chord!
    1:19 - A Major
    A is the starting note of the chord, so you strum from the A string down.
    1:59 - D Major
    There are many cool ways to play the D Major chord. Once you’re comfortable with the shape, try adding your pinky on the third fret of the high E string and taking your middle finger on and off.
    3:30 - C Major
    The C Major chord is one you’re going to run into A LOT.
    4:05 - C Major7
    Take your first finger off of the C chord shape and you’ll get C Major7. It’s a richer and fuller sounding C Major chord.
    4:50 - G Major
    There are different ways to play this chord shape that only uses three of your fingers, but in this G Major shape that uses all four fingers. It’s good practice to play chords that use all of your fingers.
    5:59 - G Major Special
    This chord is a great stepping stone for when you begin to play bar chords.

    Always learn something from you,,,.Thank you. I pretty much use all the basics of the seven out of eight.But that special cord had me doing yoga to form it. First cords I learned were C,F, D and G7. . It was good to start there because I could play a million songs with it. I thought G7 was the prettiest sound.

    The favourite (from this lesson) is the special shape chord, you can move up and down the fret. My first Ayla lesson involved barring, and I always practice it.; so though it's not easy, it's pleasant to me. My bestie chord, also used as reg. practice (I still don't know what it's called!) - Yet! Once discovered, never forgotten and I can vary it with an open string strum.

    Why do we avoid the A string in the D major chord? Isn't the chord
    D F# A?

    • @wifi-YT
      @wifi-YT 2 роки тому +2

      I believe it’s because a “regular” D major chord will have the root note - the D - as the lowest pitch note in the chord. Playing the A string would mean the A note would be the lowest pitch note in the chord, which would technically yield the second inversion of a D chord. Yes, still a D major chord, but it sounds different from a regular non-inversion D major chord.

    Good job, but isn’t it incorrect to call each of your two variations on the D major chord at 2:41 - 3:00 a “D major chord,” when both variants lack the major 3rd note? Aren’t they in fact D sus2 and D sus4 chords, which aren’t technically true D major chords?
