A New Way to Play G C Em D (Plus 3 Bonus Chords)

[@TheCaoimhin2]

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!

[@profvonshredder2563]

@@kylescott4wife and kids are the hardest to impress actually--they hear the same stuff over and over and it must drive them nuts!

[@LetArtsLive]

​@@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

[@2hard2knock]

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

[@KaweesiIvan-bx2mr]

Been playing for a few minutes on given days for a year now 😊 what a contrast! But am terribly awful 😢

[@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. 🤙

[@kylescott4]

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!

[@Texas1836Band]

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

[@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.

[@emet-441]

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

[@kylescott4]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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:)

[@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!

[@Doowopsid]

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

[@Sussloaf]

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

[@quirkygreece]

Looks fun to play around with, cheers.

[@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

[@robertbaker1986]

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

[@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

[@AndreRMeyer]

👍🙏✌ Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland

[@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.

[@silvertip8k278]

I'm by no means a theory person...but getting so many sounds from the same shape is incredible!...thank you

[@darrylem6157]

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

[@jimgutierrez2461]

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.

[@kylescott4]

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 :)

[@clayfullmer]

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

[@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!

[@deborahberens1515]

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.

[@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!

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

[@carolineburns1816]

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

[@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 :)

[@Jalahr77]

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!

[@kylescott4]

So happy to hear it, glad to help!

[@bertpacal888]

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

[@alexisbaez4321]

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?

[@thedonbishop55]

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

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@nedim_guitar]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@yunowot]

beautiful progression, thanks for sharing Kyle!🙏🏻

[@jeffthebluesinem2280]

Thanks for sharing, you presented some really useful ideas to build with.

[@Vocem_meam]

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.

[@davidmarini7544]

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

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.

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

[@aveeasley9811]

Man…wow! Thank you so much for this amazing video.

[@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 :)

[@chrisjoosten9819]

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!)

[@malcseaman9807]

Nice. Very nice. Keep up the with these alternate chords. Great work!

[@SuperOhdannyboy]

Thank you. Great new voices options.

[@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

[@gcoudert]

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.

[@kylescott4]

A great application!
