Enough of that same D Chord :)

[@noeloakes890]

In all honesty I think this guy is amazing, He has a passion for music and while he may make a very basic living from these teachings and posts it’s not going to make him a millionaire. In this world you have the good guys and the bad guys. Without doubt Justin is one of the good guys.. Respect…

[@chrismatheson2561]

I’ve been doing this for a short while now and finding amazing chord sounds. I find it useful to record my sessions(10mins) on my phone then I can recall them back later

[@justinguitar]

Great idea! Happy holidays.

[@casilatino]

I like the ‘ if it sounds good it is good’ idea. That really helps to break out of the box.

[@brysimm404]

Being a “home guitarist” (self taught - so far), I stumbled onto experimenting with this type of exercise for each of the “standard” chords I initially learned. I don’t know what the “variations” are called, but have tried memorizing which work (sound good) or don’t. It definitely can result in hours of fun and creative playing time, just like Justin shows here 😃

[@alan4sure]

Same thing with me. All self taught, learn by ear. I guess there must be ppl who don't think of that, meaning they'll probably never be much on a guitar but they'll buy apps to become a lead player in 2 hours.

[@mattpassos5689]

@@alan4sure I’m self taught as well and I used one of those apps to start but it felt to rigid after a month and although it helped build finger strength most of my actual playing I learned from KZbin

[@generalawareness101]

Question, but once I can do my open chords without looking (I can only do E/A/D 90% of the time without looking) what should I do next? It took me a long time to learn two chords where I am comfortable playing them, and six months is a long time I think. Considering I have around eight more chords to learn to at least my current level of A/D I am beyond frustrated.

Justin, this is a great lesson. Really helped so much. Hope you plan on doing more courses like this with other chords on KZbin. Also, more on Triads using different chord shapes would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hey Justin, this is a really insightful, cool way of experimenting of getting different sounds indeed! I loved it. Can you please do this same lesson with a different chord? Like "Enough of that same E Chord" or A Chord or G Chord? Thank you for posting this. Great stuff!

Such a fun and inspiring teacher! I've been going from one teacher to another on KZbin and have found myself sticking with Justin. The ultimate compliment I can give him is that his lessons are fun and help me to pick up my guitar and play it a bit most every single day!

You were playing a bit of "Flying in a Blue Dream" by Joe Satriani with the Dsus#4. Wonderful job with this Justin! "If it sounds good, it IS good." That's a quote to remember.

lovely chords, so useful when writing new songs

[@justinguitar]

Glad you like them! :) Enjoy.

[@roddunne]

9:19 Split Enz 'Got You' vibe. Love the F Sharp over D for filling in descending chord sequences (G > Fsharp/D > Em)

[@paulsmallwood8779]

I always play the standard D Minor open by barring the B and E strings at the first fret with my index finger. If I lift my ring finger, I get Dm7 which is more useful than Dm6 in that context, but more importantly, if I lift my the ring and middle finger, I get G7sus4, which is always good. Minor 6 is a close synonym to dominant 9 (Am6 = D9 (no tonic)), also, if you flatten the 6 you get a major 7 - Amb6 = Fmaj7 - they can sound very cool together. If you substitute #4 for the 3rd on a D7 you get the high tension chord in George Harrison's Wah Wah (but try it 12 frets up but with an open D string).

[@caivsivlivs]

[@ardendolas]

I'm still very much a beginner, but Justin, you're blowing my mind here!

This one was really fun. I ended up jamming out with the D chord and making variations that I liked and improvising strumming patterns and speeds throughout the session. Really felt like the first time I played what I felt.

This is a great video and great advice. It can also help you to break out of a rut, because you can ignore all the rules and just play. If it sounds good, it is good. If it sounds bad, it is bad.

[@terryneils1869]

I've been playing for several years and decided to find out why I never make progress so decided to start with course1. Hard to believe how much easier it is to play when you learn the things you can't teach yourself. It is nice to understand the guitar and not just learn riffs. I don't know if you have done a lesson about your favorite guitars but that would be interesting.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You’ve just turned in to mark knopfler and that frustrating video he did where he started out talking about his guitar journey of 1 chord 1 strum and he just falls in to guitar hero. I can play a D til the cows come home, but it’s the strumming and picking that makes it sound ace…and kills me. Keep up the good work though and thanks for getting me started - 5years ago!

[@Neobop3]

What kind of guitar is that?

[@hokahey8051]

@JustinGuitar I have a question: should I move my thumb behind the neck while changing between the D, Dsus4 and Dsus2? I suspect I should learn doing that with the mute on, but it feels impossible, fingers are so tight on the strings. I'm so confused which is correct and how to learn those grips. Could you help with a comment?

[@justinguitar]

Normally, it should stay where it is and only some fingers on the fretboard are being lifted/put down. Are you pressing down the strings too hard? finding the right pressure is a crucial part to avoid bad habits, bad posture, less fluent plays etc. | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide, Approved Teacher & Moderator

[@hokahey8051]

@@justinguitar Thank you so much for the answer. Playing those embelishments (sus chords) is easy if I hold my thumb behind the neck but hard when I'm muting the low E string. I don't feel that I put more pressure then, frankly I'cannot find out what's going on. But your comment that I should be able to use Dsus chords regardles of muting the E string with the thumb helps a lot - I will simply try to find the way. I Wasn't sure what is correct and thought maybe I should just move the thumb and that's all there is to it. Thanks again!
