I really can't understand why some of these grumpy people are complaining. Jeez. Adam is explaining basic and important things to help beginners (or, like me, people not new to music, but new to the guitar). All of the "tips" are done so well. If you don't like them, move on and keep your comments to yourself.
Thank you, Randall.
You are a great guitarist and superb teacher! I'll stick with it thanks.
You just blew my mind Adam!
Love your humor, clarity and depth of knowledge.
This video is helpful, relevant and was exactly what I needed at this moment in time. It's still early days for me with the Real Book.
Excellent lesson. Shell voicings rooted on the 6th and the 5th strings, which is exactly what I had been working on before I stumbled upon your videos... then your suggestion of the Blue In Green melody on top took me to the next level, yeah! Thanks, I highly recommend your channel to fellow students. H in Berkeley CA
Excellent..I play in a Big Band and I'm just now understanding this...I've know these chords for years but now I get it..
Excellent! Thank you
That guitar sounds incredible, even over youtube and bad computer speakers.
I've been waiting for this lesson my whole life! Thanks!
+Chris Boule Thanks, Chris!
Thanks Adam, this really helped me simplify these chord options in my head.
Right on, Garrett.
Thanks !! A lot of insight in less than 20 mins. Thanks!!
Thanks, Frankie!
...subscribed!
Stumbled on this vid - amazing lesson with shell voicings explained succinctly, while cleverly revealing the options these grips yield. Very masterful teaching. You are the Bruce Lee of gtr instruction: "Be water, my friend." Thanks much.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this. Sincerely.
Nice lesson......simple....i like it
Great stuff!
Thanks, Dan.
AWESOME! Thank you for distilling this down to such a fundamentally easy to understand approach. My head was spinning after I opened up the Ted Greene Chord Chemistry book.
great introduction to the concept - the sounds of the shell chords changing from major to minor to dominant, etc make the 'flavor' of the chords really jump out ... was hard to pick up exactly which finger on which fret for the 6 shapes as opposed to showing a clear diagram, but i guess tossing out the breadcrumbs for us to go investigate on our own is a valid teaching method .... picking up the guitar and figuring them out for myself certainly makes me learn better/deeper if more slowly ... keep up the great work - thanks for sharing your talent and time with us, Adam
An orientation that in 17 minutes makes the guitar accessible to a beginner or a 3 chord wonder. Great work as always.
I find the Guitar Tips song very calming.
Man, I love your style of teaching. You make it all look so easy, which it is! I wish I had you as a teacher when I began learning 10 years ago. I played in a community college big band, and the director who is also a highly skilled but self-taught guitarist. He told me that I had to play every chord as written with all the extension and alterations! It was trial by fire. Later, I got wise and figured out I didn't have to play all that and suddenly I could keep time! Go figure.
Ha! Yes, it's true. Simple chords are very effective. Even Ted Greene-the master of jazz-guitar harmony-encouraged me to play simply.
+Adam Levy Guitar Tips yeah, but you should add a segment on 7b5 chords because they're also incredibly useful and can substitute for Dom and m6 chords. those are good to know in all the inversions on several sets of strings.
True enough. I'll think about Tippify-ing some more shapes.
i used to wonder about a particular chord progression steely dan used in many of their songs. you just showed it to me.
Glad I could help!
Btw, loved your interview on the No Guitar Is Safe Podcast!
Thank you!
Finally, I watched all your videos and I can now just follow the one-new-episode-per-week scheme!
Btw, this is another Ted Green tip I think, as he divides chords into 3 categories, major-minor-dominant.
Cheers! :o)
I just learned about your channel from your Truetone Lounge interview with Zach! Wonderful lessons here.
Thanks, Michael. Welcome!
Coincidentally, I attended the Guitar Summer Workshop in CT twice in the early 1990's, possibly when you were there!
Is this the longest GT ever? It apparently had to be to cover skeleton chords completely enough to provide a adequately overview of how extensively they may be used.
Sadly though, when your GT devotees dive into a fake book and find a diminished chord, jaws will be dropping. There it is, a reason for part 2-3 to cover diminished shells, major and minor 6th shells and how they add inversions and rootless chords to what you have already covered.
Is that you on “Painter Song”? I loved that arrangement.
Yes, that's me.
Hi Adam,Many thanks for your guitar tips. They're proving very enjoyable and useful. Have also been enjoying your playing with Norah Jones and others. I have a suggestion for a guitar tip you might like to do at some point. I'm wondering what your approach has been to the use of flesh or nails on the right hand when fingerpicking or hybrid picking. You seem to draw a nice sound out of your instruments, despite having very short nails (or perhaps none at all). I've been playing guitar for many years but often become frustrated by not being able to achieve a decent tone and volume without nails (which I struggle to maintain). On a positive note, the frustration has led me to dabbling in other instruments like mandolin and piano, which don't pose these kind of issues and are a joy, but I always come back to the guitar. Thanks again. Best regards, Alex
+Alex Giordano I'll think on that, Alex. Thanks for the suggestion.
+Alex G. You don't need nails. Your fingers (and their flesh) are all that's
necessary. Over time, calluses develop and that helps controlling dynamics.
You can really get loud and bright strums by turning your hand backwards
to the strings and using your nails in a sweeping motion. Classical players
do that all the time. Eric Clapton (not a well known finger style practitioner)
once said, "Your hands are the perfect plectrum." Although he doesn't do
much finger style, what he does is well performed. Your hands and fingers
can control all the dynamics and volume you need! I sucked at it for a long
time but as I kept at it, it came along ok. I'm not great but I can control the
guitar pretty well when that style is needed. It's another wonderful way to
express yourself on your instrument. Keep at it and you'll find what feels
most natural to you. That's the key: if it feels right, do it.
Do you have a PDF or chart with the chords? Thanks.
6 chords? What are the 6 kernel or shell voicing chords on 5th or 6th string?
What happened to the audio level on this one? I've got the laptop turned up to 11 and I can still hardly hear it... 🥴
Sorry. I was still learning about making things look good and sound good. (And still am learning.)
@@AdamLevyGuitarTips Aren’t we all. Times we live in. Learned about you from GMI. Good stuff. Thank you.
Which Martin is that?
+PAdriaensen1 2005 Martin OM-18V
Thanks Adam. Great.
Here's a link to Martin's introduction to Retro string ua-cam.com/video/qHWAQnEmFhI/v-deo.html
You could be the next John Diliberto (Echos) haha!
Just the tips, just for you? ...phrasing...
Did you actually have a metallurgy class in high school, Adam?😂
Unfortunately, no. It was not offered at Thousand Oaks High School in the early 1980s.
Could you turn the volume up on your mike,? Impossible to hear you
must be something with your system, I can hear him well.
Is anyone else having a problem with the volume on this vid?
would someone just email me the six shapes, don't have time for all the chatter.
+moseseseseses What's your email address, Moses?

Adam Levy Guitar Tips weldingsteel1@yahoo.com
Thanks
I wish he would have spoken these words only: (these are the six shapes), then show us, end of lesson.
moseseseseses that would be much less useful. its important to have the context here.
Go watch another free video then, you piece of shit.
If I may off a tip..........project your voice. You are too quiet.
redrock1963 Did you miss him saying he was still getting over being sick?
