@@kylescott4I keep thinking how most of the songs are all the same and yeah this is really good and if you know a power cord it's not that hard to learn this what about the E up the neck that sounds really beautiful and like you really know something and I think you can put it with this
I rarely comment, but Bro!! You opened up the whole fretboard in one day… I've been playing a while and was feeling stuck... This lesson opened my eyes to the ways chords are built and now that I've got repertiour up and down the neck, it feels like I jumped forward significantly in abilities. One of the best online lessons I've encountered… thank you for putting out thoughtful and unique content. 🤙
I should have responded to this ages ago, but just saw it! Thank you so much for watching and for the awesome comment! Means a lot. Very glad you enjoyed the video!
I love exploring chords like this in different positions. It's also fun to count on my fingers and figure out what a chord is after I've found it. I also find myself hearing songs that use those chords and having epiphany, almost getting inside the head of the artist/composer as they chose those chords in their creative process. Sometimes progressions that sound ultra-complex turn out to be just similar or identical shapes in different positions.
What a great lesson. Clearly explained, by a great teacher. You are so inspiring. I'm sure your wife and kids are proud of you. If only all teachers would be as good as you, but they don't have that certain magic. Loves of love, and appreciation, coming from over the pond.
Man this is one of the more fruitful online short lessons that I’ve had in a while…I’ve been messing around with these progressions nonstop over the last day I love the back-and-forth leapfrogging, descending, and droning on the open G, I appreciate this lesson, Subbed! God bless:)
maybe new to people who have never played those shapes. It's the maj and min bar chord based on the A string minus the redundant root note in the middle. Very clear lesson and w/o using the open G you can move those around anywhere you want but the G certainly does provide a kind of continuity throughout those chord movements. Very common idea to retain one note that rings throughout several chords in a row. Learn it, people! :)
Kyle Thank you so much for your great work. I am playing back up guitar in a church band and always looking for more creative ways to play the chords thank you thank you.
I love the way you describe this lesson, I have played this progression, but the only issue I had with it when I played was the string noise as there is a lot of sliding, but playing them in a song the notes give an amazing detour of these simple chords. Love it.
Thanks bro. I've being looking for new ways to play basic G & now you've shown me. Thanks A lot I love playing religious Gospel songs & I've being looking for new methods. The cords sound lovely. Watching from Papua New Guinea South Pacific. 🇵🇬 👌👍
I just now discovered you, and you blew me away! I want so much to play with emotion, but I don’t have much skill. I can’t wait to try the two lessons I just had from you.
Hi Kyle Scott, you are a magician, your tutorial is really helpful. I'm a beginner guitarist. So you've got a new subscriber. Greetings from France in Europe.
A very nice little lesson. Some good substitutes for the common bar chords as well as many of these look like stripped down bar chords. On another note - I'm gonna subscribe for a while mainly because I like your laid back approach - you're like a three-to-five-beer-buzz guitar teacher.
This is just what I was looking for. I never knew what to do to open up more of the fretboard, and now I do. Thank you so much for making this video and showing those glorious chords. I'll be playing better because of this. Thank you!
Yeah G has been like an old friend for years 😂. One of my go-to, default chords - as are the other chords in this tutorial. Great useful doable video, thanks. I'd love to see more of these moveable chords. Subscribed 👍
Sorry to get technical here but if I'm reading this correctly the root is on the 5th string, the third is on the 2nd string and the fifth is on the fourth string. The third string serves as an octave root for the G chord and adds whatever varition as yoiu move the shape. Taking it one step further, the minor chord shape is simply flating the third on the second string still leaving the root on the 5th string and the fifth on the fourth string. Am I raeding this correctly? I've used the concept on the 2nd and 4th strings but never added the 5th giving a full triad as well as a way of quietly showing disdain for unruly audience members . Yes my kids and I have alway refered to this as the FU chord shape but i've never found anyone willing , or able to explain it to us. Really well done demo. Thankyou so much and again please excuse my geeking out but it helps me understand the possibilities.
Might be useful for some adepts to read the "smooth as butter" chord progression as well after watching this nice instruction video : G - Em - Fadd9 - Dsus - Em - C - Dsus - Bm(b6) - C - am7 - Dsus - Dsus - G
Beautiful indeed! Edit...I already commented the same thing. I guess losing my memory allows me to enjoy the forgotten things as fresh and new like the 1st time. I look forward to hearing this again for the 1st time.
When you first start playing you say to yourself, if I could just play that I’d be happy. But then you learn it and soon it’s not enough and that goes on and on. Luckily it never ends the possibility are endless.🤘
Thanks very much for the video. Lovely chords . New g chord reminds me of the beginning of Dean Friedman’s “Company “ He admits that he just reversed the chord progression of The Beatles’ “Blackbird “ to compose the song.
Nice. I've been playin for 30 years and I love using these chords. I like to slip in a lower G chord of 3x043x sometimes. The open drone note switches from the 'G' to a 'D', but still sounds fine. Thanks! (Liked, subscribed & commented!)
great video, thank you so much. Just a small suggestion for your previous videos: some of them are too fast and if you would include chord diagrams like in this one it would be much easier to follow. Keep them coming👏
technically that 'Dsus' is a 'Dadd4' or 'Dadd11', just like the Fadd9,. It's not a suspension (sus4 or sus2) because you've still got the third (F#) in there.
For those of you who work well with visualizing, this is ultimately just taking the A major/A minor system and playing it open. So you can manipulate it in similar ways as you would the basic A/Am chord. CAGED system ftw :)
Great video! Excellent chords to provide as alternative to tired cowboy chords! I'd say technically it's a Fadd2. That G is within the octave. I guess the Dsus could either be a Dsusadd3 or Dadd4. Honestly though, if that G note is just a drone in a song, it's probably not functionally relevant to the ear and everything's just major chords.
That's fantastic! I'm a pretty rubbish guitarist (I'm a keyboardist with a home studio) but I can see how I'm going to use this in my music: standard chord shapes in the left channel and these in the right channel or vice versa.
Thanks for this i have started playing guitar again after a long hiatus (due to hand injury) and am looking at videos. I am learning triads in the major minor as well those are fun and easy. nice guitar is it a Taylor?
Been playing for 40 years!! This lesson just opened a whole new repertoire of melodious chords to embellish my style and musical inventory. 🎸
Been playing for a few minutes on given days for a year now 😊 what a contrast! But am terribly awful 😢
This lesson made me wish there was a "really, really like" button to push. Thank you! This was fantastic.
Thank you! And happy to help!
@@kylescott4wife and kids are the hardest to impress actually--they hear the same stuff over and over and it must drive them nuts!

Great lesson. As Les Paul said in his 80’s, “The guitar is still teaching me new things “

The open G is magic. I just learned ‘Blacked Out’ by Chris Young by ear and the simplicity allows you to add in 3rds, 7ths, 9ths, etc when you want.
50 + years later I'm still discovering new chord progressions. Thanks Kyle.
I'm here for ya! Thanks for watching :)

Thank you so much for your great work. I am playing back up guitar in a church band and always looking for more creative ways to play the chords thank you thank you.
Happy to help my friend!
Great lesson and lots of fun to play. Would love to see more videos like this of other chord voicing progressions. Thanks!!
👍🙏✌
Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland
I'm by no means a theory person...but getting so many sounds from the same shape is incredible!...thank you
Thi s is great, I have been looking for this breakdown for sometime now. I think you are the first one to show this on YT of all my subscriptions
The D chord is actually a Dadd11. Sus chords replace the 3rd with either the 2nd or 4th. Your D shape includes the f# so it’s an add11
Key word, REPLACE, for those wondering....
The 2nd string hits the 3rd of the D
🤔🤔🤔😤😤😤🤐🤐🤐
Thank you for this lesson. I love discovering new ways to play chords especially farther up the fretboard.
Hey Kyle. i’m a new subscriber to the channel. i’ve been enjoying all your videos so far. can you please let me know what guitar you’re using there?
I actually came to discover these chord shapes last year and like you say it injects a bit of freshness in your playing and discover new fingerings
I love the way you describe this lesson, I have played this progression, but the only issue I had with it when I played was the string noise as there is a lot of sliding, but playing them in a song the notes give an amazing detour of these simple chords.
Love it.
Glad you like it!
Yes you do get some sliding noise, but I think it’s worth it for the cool chords you get from it :)
Thanks bro.
I've being looking for new ways to play basic G & now you've shown me.
Thanks A lot
I love playing religious Gospel songs & I've being looking for new methods.
The cords sound lovely.
Watching from Papua New Guinea South Pacific. 🇵🇬 👌👍
Happy to give you some new options my friend!
Just beautiful and so easy to learn.fantabulous teaching, thanks so much for this.
I just now discovered you, and you blew me away! I want so much to play with emotion, but I don’t have much skill. I can’t wait to try the two lessons I just had from you.
Now we know what happened to Jesse Pinkman he became a guitar teacher
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And not a bad one. That song was called, My RV Blew Up Blues
Music to the world yooh 😂😂
Hey, man, I'm slingin' mad volume and fat stackin' benjies, you know what I'm sayin'? I can't be all about, like, spelling and sh-t.
Wow! Beautiful voicings bro! I always love chords w open strings. Out of ths world! Thank u ❤
Thank you so much. This IA is beautiful and very helpful 😅❤
Happy to help!!

The FU chord shape 😆😆
Too funny. Haven't heard that.
Sounds like you get the gist of it. Fun way to mix it up!
Beautiful Kyle!
Unique and very well demonstrated. Thank you for sharing!
Nice voicings.
Hello.
New sub here.
Wat cam and lighting u using?
This made me question everything I have been doing, thank you. Subscribed and liked.
Says he plays for wife and kids... subscribed.
That's my life
I play for my dogs.
Thank you Kyle! This opened up a new perspective for chords in the key of G. Your video on chords in the key of D was also amazing! Thanks!
Great tips Kyle, those chords sound great. The tone of your guitar sounds awesome too.
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed the tips!
Great lesson. Truly amazing display. Wish you could have followed it up with a tutorial of popular melody.
Great lesson…will help me a lot in my worship guitar playing.Thank You!
Thanks Kyle, these soft chords really add a lot to my playing. Love your work.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for watching, happy to give you new material to work with 😊
Might be useful for some adepts to read the "smooth as butter" chord progression as well after watching this nice instruction video :

Sir, I love your style! That's beautiful! 😊
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Dave Matthews been doing it this way since day 1 ...... love it !!
You’re a great teacher. I’m definitely gonna try out these new chord shapes today.
beautiful progression, thanks for sharing Kyle!🙏🏻
Excellent lesson. Great sounds!
Great lesson! Love these new shapes!
This one was easy, thought I haven't thought about that earlier with the open strings. So, again, very helpful!
You are crazy awesome!!!!! Thank you! Your slightly mischevious smile is legend now!!
You are a wonderful soul, Blessings to you 🙏
I love to play chords in a different way. Thank you for sharing this.
Your wife and kids are probably your favorite audience and fans! Thanks for the lesson! I'm going to see if I can impress my wife and dog.
Well done Kyle, that was so very informative.
Wunderbar - from Germany!

Thank you Kyle. This is an amazing ear opener. Which Martin did you play in this video?
Beautiful indeed!
Edit...I already commented the same thing. I guess losing my memory allows me to enjoy the forgotten things as fresh and new like the 1st time.
I look forward to hearing this again for the 1st time.
Definitely sounds great and an awesome lesson
I’m nearly 70 and I hate barre chords. I always enjoy learning new open shapes. Thanks!
When you first start playing you say to yourself, if I could just play that I’d be happy.
But then you learn it and soon it’s not enough and that goes on and on. Luckily it never ends the possibility are endless.🤘
So true. Always new material to learn, and that's what makes it fun :)
Thanks very much for the video. Lovely chords . New g chord reminds me of the beginning of Dean Friedman’s “Company “ He admits that he just reversed the chord progression of The Beatles’ “Blackbird “ to compose the song.
Thanks for sharing, you presented some really useful ideas to build with.
Game changing lesson! Keep them coming!!
BRILLIANT!!! Thank you so much,Kyle - very much appeeciated!
Yet another great lesson as alway I love your lessons 👍🏾
Anything different is amazing to learn, thanks day worth living 🇬🇧🙌

Thank you! Yes I received similar feedback from someone else so I am trying to add diagrams to my long videos from now on 👍
Love your channel, can you do a video on chord shapes that John Mayer uses? 🙏🏻
Thanks, and great idea!
technically that 'Dsus' is a 'Dadd4' or 'Dadd11', just like the Fadd9,. It's not a suspension (sus4 or sus2) because you've still got the third (F#) in there.
For those of you who work well with visualizing, this is ultimately just taking the A major/A minor system and playing it open. So you can manipulate it in similar ways as you would the basic A/Am chord.
CAGED system ftw :)
Glad I dropped in!
Very helpful...thank you...been stuck for years...too stubborn to look for help I guess until now.
Beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you.
