SECRETS in the Key of E

[@jamesstacey6241]

I get more from this guy than any one else on you tube

[@seandaniel23]

My guy!

[@joemaxx3231]

I agree !

[@kennethmabus381]

Yeah his music theory is crazy awesome!

[@Newfoundmike]

@@seandaniel23 Your vids are great which Streetmaster are you using Amigo

[@billwentz5014]

I've been sharing this lesson ever since I first learned it in 1972 at sea on a USN Destroyer in the middle of the Atlantic. The cocky, smug, dud of a human being who shared it with me wanted desperately to be one 10th as cool as you, He couldn't pull it off. You are a master teacher and solid guitar player but a natural entertainer; one who has learned the "Secret" of being a great teacher. You have to hold their attention all the way to the end of the lessons. Fabulous video Sean! After teaching piano/guitar privately since 1992, I think you're the best!

[@EM-df6mo]

The polite injection of humor actually makes it much more memorable. Thanks Sean much appreciated. I keep looking for you in more of Dovydas Street videos too.

[@taylodl]

You have a gift for taking things I already know and making me understand it better

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so! I'll keep em coming.

[@drewsacks]

@@seandaniel23 Dude, I agree with what taylodi1 said above. Same from me. Very cool.

[@darrinnorris2690]

You are by far my favorite teacher on KZbin I get more from your lessons than anyone else on the net....

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so!

[@smacker360]

So nice to see someone in this world of crap being upbeat and always happy. Your attitude and personality is contagious and needed. Thanks!!!! BTW, your lessons are really easy to understand making them easy to remember as well, even with limited music theory although some theory is required.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so! Trying my best!

[@bulaguy7515]

Oooooooooo

There ya go my old Sarasota neighbor!! I love it when you return to just nice, straightforward informative and fun lessons on your site!! Jim C.

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

Back in 1982 , sitting at home on Christmas morning 2AM after my first son was born. I sat down w/ my new Yamaha acoustic and accidentally discovered that E,B,A thing you were playing. I made it into a little thing I play to remember that day, and my son. At the time I couldn't play much else. I was amazed to see you do it too !

[@conartist267]

You’re a great teacher Sean and I’ve learnt a lot of you.

[@petermcgarrymusicandflying]

Superb Key. Magic Key.

[@glennlindblad3122]

fell in love with the key of e, after this im gonna have to marry it

[@davidlafrancewinner4758]

Dude, you are so much fun! And you’re funny too…. Sean is always good for a smile. A wry smile!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@curtissjohnson4864]

I really appreciate your videos. Thank you. The guitar in standard tuning, begs to be played in E. The open E strings and open B are a great little power chord. No "expression" notes. No third to be sad with. No seventh etc. There in the middle, all nestled together, are three more strings on which any number of tri tones can be played up and down the neck for a huge variety of voicings. I invite you to try this one: Index on A at 11, middle on D at 12, ring on G at 13. Nice little E7 stair step shape. Here's some magic: Move this down a half step and there's an A chord. Move it up a half step from the original position and it's a B chord. More:: Move this same shape down so it's centered on the 6th fret (index on 5th) and you can do the same little routine and walk through a I-IV-V progression still in E. More: of course it works up around the 17th fret. Wait! There's more: if you drop the two third notes of the original shape down a half step the shape changes to a very popular three note power shape that in this position with all strings singing, is an Emin7. Move this shape up a half step and now it's Emaj7. Magic.

[@mr7oclock346]

I like love this channel, because allot of times when I have a question, and look up the topic, Sean's videos pop up and he usually has the answer

[@seandaniel23]

I gotchu!

[@gerald6692]

I picked up a guitar 🎸 for the first time two years ago and have been using your videos to go from being an absolute beginner to advanced beginner thanks to you . I practice everyday and get lots of enjoyment from my acoustic six string guitar. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge while having fun doing it

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@lightfoot413]

Sean a great eye opener lesson..I am sorta familiar with most of this but you put it in context for a better understanding..thanks man....

[@michaelfox2989]

Awesome,man I've seen players use these shaped moving around the frets now I know what and why...Thanks

[@ronwingeart4345]

Just bought a street master waiting on delivery. Great to hear You playing one.

[@seandaniel23]

You’re gonna love it!

[@user-iy4kk4yp2b]

That guitar sounds incredible and your lessons are inspiring.

[@Zero56416]

Every day at lunch I check for the latest Sean Daniel content! Love your YT and Patreon channels! Rock on!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Joe! New Patreon vid coming this week!

[@chrismatheson2561]

I have been using the E shape chord and sliding it up and down the neck for a few years now. I lack the theory so never new the names but always thought they sounded beautiful but never saw anyone using these shapes. Thanks Shawn you’ve filled in some holes in my knowledge.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help Chris!

[@Shagley]

The black crowes… she talks to angels utilises the E chord moving up and down the neck

[@MegaTubescreamer]

yes,,when frank zappa asks (tongue in cheekedly) "does humour belong in music" ? sean,,, you have answered this emphatically, your guitar tuition is a pleasure to experience,, thankyou 😊👍

[@joshmalloymusic]

I watch all of the guitarists on here and by far I like the way you teach the most

[@mirostanimirov8952]

Sean Daniel sacrifice will shine like a diamond for eternity. Martyr Sean, we ARE gratefull for saving us from boredom in books .AMEN

[@garyalgier4811]

Keeping chords simple fingering and lots of open strings is the most beautiful way to play to play this is right on thanks

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

I think it's good to play chords all the ways they can be played. It adds character and different voicing to what it is you are playing. For one part of the song you can play a chord one way and then another way for another part of the song. It keeps your playing from sounding too repetitive. Thanks for sharing this. I got my start playing guitar in the key of E 25 years ago, so I already know much of what you show in the video, but it took me years and years of experimenting to figure it out because there was no YT back then. And yeah, that dreaded B chord is a summamabeach that I STILL can't get right after all these years!

[@derrickmickle5491]

The B maj barré chord with the pinky is a fantastic tip

[@maxkelter3561]

Sweet ! Great Instruction. The key of E does have alot good vibes to it. Everyone wants to stay away from B, but you can't. You need it mon. Really mon. (man).

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Max!

[@adambreska4490]

Oh, it's a blues lesson. First time I truly understood the essential format of the blues. And I can already write rock progressions in Lydian, so this is a milestone for me. So thank you for the blues lesson. Gratitude to infinity and beyond.😎 Ha now I'm going to be bluesing it up lol

[@josephcasey322]

Great lesson A+ You where run over by the E Train @ 10:11 and then came back at 18:30ish to completely derail the E train with all blues passengers onboard(?)!. Thanks for imparting you wisdom an expertise. PS I'm watching Hallmark with the wife. Good luck in your douchie quest.

[@seandaniel23]

I appreciate the kind words Joseph! Hopefully see you in Christmas 2022.

[@anthonymarande8361]

So refreshing to see your style, it is rare to watch someone as normal as myself.I also enjoy Fruit Loops & Coco puffs.Peace & be well!

[@randallmarks6365]

I'm an old, old, oldster barre chord who found these chords with great relief. (BTW it was years before I found out it wasn't spelled "bar" chord. )

[@mondybrunache4016]

This is an amazing video brother. I am getting a lot out of it. Thank you so much!

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@yoghurtcz]

Every video of yours I watch increases the risk of using the "dusty end" of the neck. Very well done!

[@DaveYoungBass]

Brilliant, amazing. What a great channel. If only you were around when I was 14

[@seandaniel23]

I appreciate the kind words

[@TeriScheinzeit]

You crack me up. How fun to laugh while learning. Excellent tips here. I'm on it!

[@MrRonique]

I'm sort of an intermediate guitarist, but because I learnt from the" guitar magazine" era. I missed some basic theory . I learnt some basic theory today, thanks 😊

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@sethmiller8992]

Hilarious. Probably the funniest dude I've never met. Thanks for the lesson and the ability to entertain. I really appreciate the content.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for saying so Seth.

[@robertsteele8688]

Exellent lesson.....U shift easily and understandably between Theory and just playin ...and!, contextualizing it in simple, relatable language, for us untrained aspirants who play by ear to understand and assimilate!....THX!!🙏

[@renwickpreston5334]

Beauty...good humor with your teaching

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@peace7267]

one of the best and most enjoyable lessons I've ever seen, just simple practical stuff i can actually use cheers bro and thank you

[@FlowerdyPilllow]

This stuff is pure gold! Thanks so much for all your amazing videos - I stumbled on one a few weeks ago and am now lapping them all up. You have superb delivery and a great teaching style, it's like having lessons with a good friend! Keep it up Sean, you are making the mystery of good guitar playing disappear, one lesson at a time! I salute you sir, thank you!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'll keep them coming!

[@DD-eight]

Damn I can’t tell which is better that shirt or that guitar!! Either way ya go this video clearly has the highest level of quality to it!! Thx man!!

[@seandaniel23]

Well thank you!

[@michaelredison6396]

U earned my subscription bro! More of these man! Loved it

[@seandaniel23]

Welcome to the party!

[@Sont256]

Great video Sean. Thank you for sharing! Fantastic looking guitar too!

[@robino0821]

So there I was, listening to (but not watching) another video at half speed when this come on auto-play afterward. I thought "man, did Sean have a stroke? That sounds like him!" Turned around and there you were, slurring through the intro. :D Great video and information as always. I highly recommend watching this intro at 50% speed. Just because. ;) Peace, love and a happy New Year to you. Thank you for all you do!

[@ReverseGoingForward]

You're undeniably one of the best online guitar teachers. If I wasn't an in debt, 23 year old pizza delivery driver, I'd be throwin money at you

[@roycranman3851]

Great lesson. That progression, E, to open F#m and G#m is in the Allman Brothers song Melissa. But now I understand why it works.

[@Distantmoores]

Hi Sean, Thanks for sharing your insight. Please keep it coming. So many different variations with different, fun ways to play.

[@georgehenderson1756]

Hi Sean, You are really helping me a lot. Those beautiful off sounding chords that I have always loved, you run into them often showing how to play barr chords easier. Added with your great humor, is such a wonderful way to teach. Thank's from George

[@jackh577]

I learned the bar chords early on and never had much problem playing the B chord. On the other hand, I've always found the classic B7 chord very hard, and mostly don't use it. Now that will change, as I didn't realize you could play it with using your pinky!! Glad to learn this. Thanks Sean.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@warrenderosie2183]

I look forward to Sean’s tutorials, he teaches with humour,makes lessons more enjoyable, his daily shorts Rocks….keep it up Bud

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@toddrenshaw24]

I really like your channel. A little advanced for a lot of people but I encourage people to come back to you some months in to revisit

[@jeptomf]

Thanks man for including notes, intervals, and scale degrees in your lessons. You have really helped me learn how to play and make music more than anyone else has!

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear! I'll keep it up!

[@osibesatate6014]

Love the energy and humor.

[@adamwaygood9852]

Thanks Sean.. I always learn something from you.. Your personality makes it fun, you make me laugh out loud.. Merry Christmas from Australia mate..

[@frankdemarzo9943]

You crack me up Sean. Your sacrifice our gain!

[@graphicartdude]

Hey Sean… since one of main reasons some of us first picked up a guitar was to impress girls, you should do a video to teach us how you get the most beautiful girls in town to play and hang with you!

[@hhattingh]

Studying for one monster exam. Know nothing, but I did learn a cool lick. Will be thinking of it when I sit there regretting my decisions.

[@martypalanos2460]

Thank you SEAN, geat lesson. Iv'e known the blues most of my life. maybe now i can play them too!!!!

[@seandaniel23]

They're in your heart!

[@GeriWardMusic]

You’ve just helped me out big time. I’ve been playing those chord shapes for a while - just noodling! Now however I feel I have the “guild” secret knowledge to maybe play these with confidence in a song! So thankyou “Handsome Gentleman” 👍🏼🤣😬

[@lefty5757]

Thank you Sean, Your lessons on the Keys & the chord voicing /phrasing some, are esoteric 🎸Just great! So very eye opening.

[@faust_apes]

Great video! A really lovely example of those chord voicings being used is 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' by Fairport Convention, as beautiful a song as you'll ever hear imo

[@djoseph104]

Great remiminders. Your triad trick, with E AAdd9 and B, I do the same, but I use my index finger playing the 1 string, leaving 5 and 6 open. It is just as pretty, but it has a nice following bass addition.

[@michaelpmccullough]

Thanks - this video was very helpful and had a lot of useful information.

[@Fatrav]

Been playing for years and I think I'm OK but......... never had so many bells ringing in one lesson fantastic stuff!!!!!!!!

[@samraffertymusic]

Great lesson! Definitely gonna try out that way of playing b7. Digging the purple

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks Sam!

I'd wish I knew that B7 voicing 47 years ago and learning guitar. B chord would always trip me up. I was learning Beatles songs from a song book.

[@geneprincipato4210]

Sean, some time ago, I heard you (offhandedly) mention how people are impressed when you play further down the fret board. Been trying to figure out how to do that for years. I would call this a Master Class. Thanks for laying it out so nicely...
