G C D chords The enhanced way to play

A lesson on using an enhanced version of 1st position open G-C-D chords
And a quick example using REO Speedwagon's song Without Expression

You keep doing what you're doing. Ignore the negative comments. I've been playing for 54 years and everyone can always keep on learning. Rarely does anyone ever perfect an instrument like the guitar in their lifetime. Even Steve Vai or shredders can always learn. It's supposed to be fun. Keep going.

Thanks. When it's no longer fun, its time to go home.. haha Thanks for your kind words.

Nice job! Lots of great little and easy tips to jazz up the sound and playability of these chords especially in progression. Thank you😊

"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" is a good example of a song borne out of these chords. Very good lesson, David.

[@DJungling]

Hey you're right. Hide Your Love is a song I've played for years. I just tried it using these enhanced chords and it sounds great. Thanks for your suggestion and your compliment.

Very good lesson. I'm a beginner and have played for about 6 months.

[@DJungling]

@@johnnygreenway3579 if you’re able to play this after only 6 months, you are talented. Keep it up.

I've known the CAdd9 and Fat G for some time now, but not the DSus4 and DSus2. I also love the song Without Expression and thanks to you I can play it too! Thank You!

[@DJungling]

Good going. Yeah it's a sweet song and playing it with these enhanced chords is more intermediate level, which is a big upgrade to beginner. Rock on!

[@madspider1208]

Sounds great. Can you please tell the strumming pattern?

[@DJungling]

Yes. Down down up up down up Or 1, 2 and and 4 and

Listen to Terry Reid’s cover

Fat G is a G9 then you play C9 …why not say it ?
