Someone may have made this comment, but is there any chance you can add the chord chart in the demonstration? Those help me visualize it almost instantaneously vs trying to figure things out by checking out your fingers.

[@boxoflenscreative8276]

As someone who learned CAGED system first this technique one really bolster everything for me!.

[@josuastangl7140]

Sixths only really made sense to me once I learned CAGED. In the E shape, the sixth consists of the root note on the high E string and the third on the G string. So even when I play sixths, I still often think CAGED underneath.

[@willlowmusic]

So im wondering how he went from the the bar'd chord on the 7th fret and how he turns it into the major third anyone able to help?

[@jesseglickmusic]

Hey willow! So if you take the root note on the 7th fret, and move it to the 11th fret, that gets you the major 3rd. So you play ring finger 11th fret of the A string, and then bar your index finger across the D, G, and B strings on the 9th fret. This gives you a different way to play and E major chord! (First inversion). Works anywhere you play a bar chord with that shape

​@@jesseglickmusic0:04, and 0:17. It's definitely how you would play it for vibrato, I think they are trying to copy what you are doing note for note. I'd assume that you have viewers that range from novice to more advanced players looking to upgrade their skill set.

[@cerberuscombatmma]

I’m confused how the fret space amount changes if you’re using all sixth intervals. You’re not changing strings as you slide up right?

[@LostSpringBand]

Jesse is good at responding, but meanwhile I'll volunteer an answer to your question: The two notes you need to play each time you move up the scale are fragments of chords. Following his example, as you play the scale, you're playing fragments of major, minor and diminished chords. The fret space changes according to whether you're playing a major third interval or a minor third interval. Hope this helps.

[@Turnge]

Isn' t your first example, the brown eyed girl intro, not double stop thirds instead of sixths?

[@zzcanasta]

Yes, the intro lick in 'BEG' is a mixture of major and minor 3rds - a technique used at least as much as - and probably more widely than - 6ths.

[@josuastangl7140]

This had me thinking too, because I play the intro in regular thirds and not inverted ones. But the rest of the song is pretty much all based on sixths.
