Beginner Chord Play - How To Add Life To Your Chords !

[@dennishardesty2092]

John is wonderful. No goofy antics to sit through, just great teaching. A true teacher. John is worthy of emulation.

[@jkehew1]

Wow, I appreciate that, Dennis! By the way, I have a new book out, The Strum Pattern Bible. Here's a KZbin video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rniZqaaXbth-n6c And you can get it at: www.song-bike.com - Jonathan

[@painlessremovals4447]

Have ro say John you are the most instructive teacher for us basic players, I've come across on the internet so far. I learnt more today watching 4 of your videos than I have in a couple of years from trying to follow all the others. You explain & demonstrate everything so clearly & concisely - you are a natural teacher. Got so much to get my teeth into now! Thank you so much!

[@marliyntouchette893]

I've been enjoying your series and learning so much. I started guitar years ago (like about 35 yrs) and mainly because I am a singer and wanted to play along. I took lessons for about 3 months but my kids were small and I never seemed to have the time to practice. But now that You tube has sites like yours - its truly amazing. I`ve learned so much from your posts and I practice along with you. Thank you. Thank you. And Thank you again. You are amazing. No one I knew who plays guitar has ever helped me like you have. My husband is so impressed with how much I`ve improved since I`ve started to study with your lessons. Some of those basic things you`ve taught that now seem so simple have made a huge difference in how I understand music on the guitar. Like how to hold my pick, how to find notes on each strings etc. I really appreciate your patient way of explaining and the logic to it all. I wish I would have had you as a teacher so many years ago. My focus was always on my singing with the guitar to accompany me but at the same time I`ve always loved the sound of solo guitar, saxophone, violin etc. because of their beautiful sound. You`ve helped me to bring out the better sound of the guitar - even tho it`s to accompany my voice - as a beautiful sound on its own. thank you so much Marilyn

[@rongould112]

Just another positive comment about the instructor here. His commentary is minimal yet so informing. His lessons are useful for beginners and the better players. Of all the online lessons, this guy has got them all beat. Gold medal.

Thank you so much. Played somewhat many years ago but lost it along the way. Now at the age of 64 I decided it was time to try it again and found your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. After one week I can almost recognize "Ripple" when I play it. Fingers very sore but I will keep going. You and your wife are a great team. Thanks again

[@jkehew1]

JoAnn Murphy Thanks Joann !

[@indulekhafawcett4527]

Wow i`m so impressed by the way you teach, you never run away with what you`re teaching but place a lot of attention to detail, ive just watched two vids and i`m sounding like i`m ready for my first concert..lol. Once my fingers stop hurting im going for my third round.

[@leonwilson5706]

Just started playing and with so many people out there making “how to” videos. Your style of teaching is perfect for me. You keep it simple yet challenging too. I look forward to watching and playing along when I can. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@ohsay1]

Johnathan, you truly have a gift to teach. After stumbling around you tube for months, I've found you. Thank you so much, to you and your wife. I'm inspired.

[@jkehew1]

Thanks for the shout-out to my wife - couldn't do it without her !

[@SuperParsman]

Great tips and lesson ! thanks a lot , I am another old timer at 54 years young who started learning 4 months ago , something I wanted to do for the last 40 years but just got round to it now ! I really enjoyed this lesson today , I have been practicing for atleast an hour every day ,sometimes 2 to 3 hours , I am hooked and driving everyone mad at home ! I have a very strong ear for music since childhood and if I heard something 40 years ago the notes are still fresh in my mind and it is now quite enjoyable to find those notes on the guitar and play the tunes that had been playing in my head for all those years ! i surprised my teacher when I played bits and pieces of the songs that I worked out from memory and he asked me if I know C- maj scale and I said no ! I only know G maj scale . and he showed me it and then I found out I was actually playing the notes on that scale .

[@jkehew1]

Thanks SuperParsman Keep up the practicing. We all have made friends/neighbors crazy at some point. It's part of the journey! I'll be posting more videos in 2014 so stay tuned. Happy New Year1

I'm 52 years of age and finally decided to learn how to play the guitar. Always was interested but never made the plunge. WOW is this hard. Fingers hurt , cords sound horrible and years of easy air guitar have come full circle Your videos are fantastic and I've watched some of the more advanced ones as inspiration. It's only been a few days but the odd good sounding cord makes it worth while.

[@SuperWoodsy007]

I'm a little late to the party but as a older beginner only 4 mos in I really appreciate all the tips and techniques you are providing. You seem to have mastered teaching guitar , slow and methodical. I've been giving lots of thumbs up to your videos and am ready to subscribe. Thank you Johnathan ! Dean

You are the best guitar teacher on the internet as I see it. I've been playing the guitar for decades and still I learn something new from you, or gain an understanding of what I am actually doing on it from your presentations. Thanks for explaining power cords. I always thought they were just cheapened bar cords invented by punk rockers who barely could play a guitar.

[@jkehew1]

excellent lesson - I am an old beginner (I'm 67) who is just beginning to master the common open chords and I have been experimenting with this very thing. You just gave me confirmation that I am on a good track and now I know how to approach this "chord Play" as you named it. Thanks! much appreciated.

[@recon0911]

Yeah man it's nice to have someone that's not trying to impress with their guitar theory knowledge. Rather I enjoy the simple things embelished

I am Wilfred from India, it was not only cool playing but something different I mean not stereotype. Can learn more this way, keep it up and keep uploading more videos. This lesson has really helped me to try and add variations to my playing. THANKS

[@nathanbotha1199]

Hi Jonathan - great lesson! I like how this gives players a kind of permission to experiment more freely with chords in a way that doesn't bog them down with too much theory. I personally love theory, but it's also nice to approach chords this way...With your method, people can create sus/add/9,11,13 etc type chords without necessarily knowing the name of the chord/s they've created and without feeling they need to know the name. I was thinking to myself, how much of the chords character should stay intact while it's being experimented with - so I thought, surely atleast the root note...then I remembered some jazz guys go rootless lol!

[@lepetitprince2188]

Very very helpful video. I've been stuck with openchords for long and this helped me break out of it with the feeling that im playing something similar to music finally. I hope you keep uploading begenner friendly videos like this more often. Thankyou so much, Man.

[@jameshilliard9386]

Thank you Jonathan for your encouragement and instruction. I think you are the only one I need.

[@jackbenimble99999]

Excellent lesson. I've been looking around for ways to make my rhythm playing more interesting and I didn't know some of these voicings. Btw, for your readers, on using the F maj 7 as an alternative to the F, you can also use similar fretting to achieve a regular F chord - all you have to do is mute the skinny string with the finger fretting the B string. With the extra advantage that it's movable. Similarly for the barred minor chord. A lot of people play those chords that way by default,

[@jkehew1]

Great tip, Jack !

[@deliriousrobinnails300]

Another winner, J! Along with those moveable chord shapes, my instructor has been teaching the various "sus" chords, 6th's and 7th's from the open chords, so running across your video was both timely and helpful. It's A LOT for a beginner to take in all at once, but I can definitely hear the huge difference the subtle changes in fingerings can make. Thanks, and have a safe, happy 4th!

Hey Jonathan. Really impressed with your method of teaching. Been using Legacy Learn and Master guitar for about a half a year and like it pretty well. I have to say though, your videos are awesome. Thanks for the help in making what I am trying to do with the guitar sound close to music.

[@lesliecarver6001]

Great stuff...very helpful and you have added a lot to my interest in guitar playing and practicing...thanks

[@dylanthomas7443]

Hi Jonathan you are a great teacher because mainly you know our exact challenges when we come to them. You were saying that our strums do not sound correct because of not using the right hand to get the right chords. Can you guide me to some lessons where we can learn correct right-hand usage and how to strum?

[@gene2347]

[@Nailgunskater]

Wow! Your videos are so helpful. I am a seasoned pianist, and a very poor guitarist. If I relate the two somehow, but they are so different. I'm going to try everything in this video. I love the oldies and intros! My son is an excellent guitar player but not patient enough to teach me! Maybe if I had him on video I could slow him down! Ha!

[@jkehew1]
