This lesson made me wish there was a "really, really like" button to push. Thank you! This was fantastic.

[@kylescott4]

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!

[@bxs2008]

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. 🤙

Says he plays for wife and kids... subscribed. That's my life

[@2hard2knock]

Been playing for 40 years!! This lesson just opened a whole new repertoire of melodious chords to embellish my style and musical inventory. 🎸

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

[@chrisgarver7904]

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

[@MattAngiono]

Key word, REPLACE, for those wondering.... The 2nd string hits the 3rd of the D

[@emet-441]

50 + years later I'm still discovering new chord progressions. Thanks Kyle.

[@kylescott4]

I'm here for ya! Thanks for watching :)

[@parttroll1]

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

[@moogdome2562]

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.

[@2hard2knock]

Widen my musical horizons💯 🎸 Thank you!!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

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.

[@joetumolo7550]

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.

[@kylescott4]

Happy to help my friend!

[@louislabarber6253]

Nice voicings.

[@lilycarolyn4Christ]

This is so cool you made me sound so Rich! (Pun intended) Learned something new today... keep them coming Thank you😊

[@kylescott4]

Rock on!

[@quirkygreece]

Looks fun to play around with, cheers.

[@kurtcpi5670]

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.

[@67Jazzmaster]

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.

[@thedonbishop55]

You’re a great teacher. I’m definitely gonna try out these new chord shapes today.

[@gerhard6452]

[@jeremysiron9622]

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:)

[@carolineburns1816]

I love to play chords in a different way. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Sussloaf]

Great lesson and lots of fun to play. Would love to see more videos like this of other chord voicing progressions. Thanks!!

[@johnlitz3122]

Awesome video 👍

[@MusiFitNomad]

Now we know what happened to Jesse Pinkman he became a guitar teacher

[@kevinyowait2463]

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. 🇵🇬 👌👍

[@kylescott4]

Happy to give you some new options my friend!

[@rishabhsharma7476]

Man ...I was having a kinda shityy day...but this thing made me smile ...I learnt something new Nd I felt joy ...thanks

[@janetrivers5824]

You are crazy awesome!!!!! Thank you! Your slightly mischevious smile is legend now!!

[@robertbaker1986]

Just beautiful and so easy to learn.fantabulous teaching, thanks so much for this.

[@nedim_guitar]

This one was easy, thought I haven't thought about that earlier with the open strings. So, again, very helpful!

[@simonpratley3301]

Great tips Kyle, those chords sound great. The tone of your guitar sounds awesome too.

[@kylescott4]

Thank you, and glad you enjoyed the tips!

[@thedotonthemap5655]

This made me question everything I have been doing, thank you. Subscribed and liked.

[@darrylem6157]

Wow! Beautiful voicings bro! I always love chords w open strings. Out of ths world! Thank u ❤

[@cyrilmoussoki3193]

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.

[@kylescott4]

You're welcome my friend! Happy to help, and greetings from USA :)

[@stevehunt2162]

Great lesson! Love these new shapes!

[@Doowopsid]

Thank you for this lesson. I love discovering new ways to play chords especially farther up the fretboard.

[@MikeFerguson-yq2jh]

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

[@danielheller6430]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@bertpacal888]

Beautiful Kyle! Unique and very well demonstrated. Thank you for sharing!

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

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.🤘

[@kylescott4]

So true. Always new material to learn, and that's what makes it fun :)

[@jurajschwab]

beautiful progression, thanks for sharing Kyle!🙏🏻

[@jonieyates1097]

Game changing lesson! Keep them coming!!

[@thomaspolice9400]

Like so many I have just learned a whole new range of sounds using really simple shapes. If only U Tube had been around in 1966 when I began faffing!

[@gggibson3058]

Awesome lesson! thank you

[@davidmarini7544]

Great lesson…will help me a lot in my worship guitar playing.Thank You!

[@napadave58]

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.

[@ScottBluemel]

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!

[@jgeraci1]

Definitely sounds great and an awesome lesson

[@alexisbaez4321]

Thank you.

[@DG-mv6zw]

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 👍

[@brucewales5965]

Beautiful

[@Adam_without_Eve]

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.

[@SuperOhdannyboy]

Thank you. Great new voices options.

[@rvgann556]

Mercy...good, so good

[@TruthSurge]

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! :)

[@mikeatkin7623]

Exactly.

[@susanroycroft89]

Beautiful, thanks Kyle,Very Simple, but I love it 😮😮😊

Go for it :)

[@bobbynoe1]

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
