A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his KZbin channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

Sean, your output is phenomenal in both quantity and in quality. Much appreciated.

[@drewdietz2115]

I love these different chord voicings as it were. Keep em coming Sir Sean!!!!

[@brettkennett6522]

Sean, have started watching your BRILLIANT lessons just this year (have been playing a looong time). Thanks man! You’ve changed my life.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help Brett!

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for sharing the secrets in the people’s key. Another great lesson!!

[@seandaniel23]

:)

[@Sussloaf]

Great lesson. Helps me to really open my aperture on tunings and changing standard open chords into something more interesting. Thanks!!

[@robertbjorkman2526]

Awesome information... and explained so well!... Thank you 😊

[@seandaniel23]

happy to help!

[@BrentSends]

Wish I would have watched this when I first started playing. Really easy to use info and it gets you playing right away. Also teaches you basic theory. Good stuff, Sean!

[@cselsky1]

Sean You are very good. I am a pediatrician in Orlando who has been taking lessons with Ian Stich for almost three years via computer. I am amazed at the florida west coast music scene

[@seandaniel23]

Very cool! Say hi to Ian for me!

[@andrefalkao]

Hi Sean, despite we are far apart for thousand of miles, each time I want to learn any new technique or remind me of something your videos are the ones i always look first due your great communication skills, sense of humor, and of course, your own way to explain everything as simply as possible. Fancy studios, video editions, lots of tech do not make the difference when we want to learn, and specially understand what we are hearing and watching. Thanks for your videos and keep going as you are!

[@kevincondon6029]

You just rocked my world with that awesome Bm11 sub for the full Bm barre chord!

[@seandaniel23]

Minor11 chords for the win!

[@acoustic24]

Thank you Shaun a really brilliant insight into how a simple tweak can make a world of difference to the sound

[@azucarplatea]

Wow, Sean. Thanks so much. Fantastic lesson.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@markwelsh9068]

For all the years I've tuned in, this has to be one of your best yet. Very useful.

[@patrickcarbajal2908]

Loved this one. Videos like these keep stacking and reinforcing the idea that I can play guitar ❤️🙌

[@toddj9548]

As a relatively new songwriter, the secrets in the key are some of my favorite lessons you do. So helpful! Thank you for all the awesome content!

[@simonc5407]

Some excellent teachers on KZbin and you are one of the best in my opinion.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@rrheipel]

Wow ! You never cease to amaze me with the simplicity that you are able to convey some great ideas to play on guitar. I love the secrets of the key theme. This is exactly what people need to be able to pick out the chords in a song, compose simple songs and melodies, and increase their chord vocabulary. Thanks so much!!!

[@StefanGBucher]

Not sure if you hadn't ever summed it up this concisely or if it just never landed as well with me, but holy hell is that useful! Thank you, Sean! Subscribing to your Spotify in gratitude!

[@carldyke5725]

Sean, enjoy your video lessons. Have been watching you for a while. My son sold me on Elixir strings a looong time ago. I use them on my electric and acoustic guitars. They are pricey, but, these strings last a looong time, well worth the money.

[@hollosphere]

Whoa, that was super fun! Using droning tones across chords always appeals to my ear for some reason. The simple re-tuning of the high E to D is a trick I'd not heard before, but which makes perfect sense. Thank you! Sounds so cool on my big Fender Laguna acoustic 🥰

[@hmportella]

You could also call this the Noel Gallagher’s key. You gave wonderwall as an exemple but 95% of his songs are played like that! That’s how you can get his tone. Great video!

[@seandaniel23]

Noel is the best

[@douglasriddle6447]

@@seandaniel23 Actually fingerpickers, blues, folk and country artists have been using these chord shapes and scales since before Gallaher's parents met.......lol. Thanks for sharing though.

[@SketchEtcher]

So many nuggets. I always flub the Bm chord, even though I’m great at barre chords, because the transition from an open chord is difficult. Also, I am loving the D tuning trick on the first string!

[@seandaniel23]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@terryvictor1]

LOve this! Great sound doing it this way and really appreciate you presenting it!! Thank you!

[@storm14k]

Man this is how this open chord stuff should be taught!

[@martinarthur2597]

always informative and always entertaining, love your lessons , have learned a lot. Thank you sir

[@stuartmackinnon]

Love your work here. Very accessible theory and a lot of fun.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks Stuart!

[@SiggyMe]

Nice lesson as usual you exhibit technical expertise that is delivered in common sense matter that isn't a dumb down instead a more sophisticated flexible way of creating music. Thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

thanks so much! I appreciate you saying so!

[@jakeminor1967]

Ok. This was rock solid good stuff. In a humorous wrapper. Sean strikes.

[@tomheineman4369]

Often imitated but never duplicated, can you do a video of percussive double stops pulling off to open strings and everything ringing out. I met a cool dude and went to watch him play. When he did his hammer pull offs, 30 of his friends in attendance all burst out in applause. I'm guessing he did it in D or G and I believe he moved around on the neck as well. Pull offs to open strings are vato cool and you are the perfect person to lead the world and shape the future of humanity with baller jack guitar jam outs.

[@seandaniel23]

I'll do my best!

[@briankeller2048]

Great lesson. Thanks. All in on Elixir's.

[@seandaniel23]

They're the best!

[@alexandercaguimbal7578]

thank you man, I watch most your video👍

[@My-Channel_forever]

Good stuff, Sean. Dig your openings as always.

[@seandaniel23]

Some of them are actually true though

[@lsteved]

^^ Agreed, and sometimes one needs a laugh just as much as a lesson! Finally, I have to know, was that an intentional guitar pun with... "Get some elixir strings and BEND to the will of the people."

[@dougsensei]

More on G and D! Amazing Sean!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much! Comin soon!

[@davehill5539]

Some useful/nice additions to me - thanks

Great lesson Sean.

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@Sias0]

Hey Sean Nice Lesson, really Appreciate it.

[@joesteffe6155]

Sean Thanks I cant believe i didnt think of the C with G in the base

[@davecudrak]

“Make it sussy “ love it!

[@BeeGee7719]

Good lesson here at 7:15. How to transpose keys with a capo using the same chord shapes. I find it confusing for some odd reason. Thanks

[@amodsardesai9027]

What a lesson! Too good

[@anhvu3780]

got lost 3/4 into the clip but you did explain why I saw some weird chord shapes in certain songs. thanks.

[@conradilius]

Great video!

[@robabogale4866]

Fun video!! Can u maybe make a video on how to transpose chords. The way u explain stuff is excellent

[@mikedonohoe3526]

G(ee) Thanks for peeling back the curtain!

[@seandaniel23]

ayyyy!

[@ProfessorJM1]

Beautiful lesson, Good Sir 👏. I long to make a fake salty comment…your responses to those are hilarious. Definitely not appropriate, here for sure…this lesson was packed with essentials that, anyone learning, will certainly use, over and over. Definitely, “the people’s” lesson.

[@mabblers]

Nice!

[@donindri]

As the British “people” would say, brilliant! Thanks for posting

[@thomcalhoun6341]

Good show! Have a great weekend!

[@juzzie]

Great video man .. I seriously owe u money for this 🤜

[@seandaniel23]

Happy to help!

[@davidlegalley1161]

WOW! 👍🏾👍🏼

[@collierrocks]

Great content. Show us a bit of Austin, please. Maybe some busking?

[@mikeford9176]

What gauge Elixir strings do you use? Thanks

[@MustafaBaabad]

Thanks Sean, I already suspected a long time a go that there must be a way to play guitar in simpler way. As far your strum is with good tempo and good bass, then the songs should come alright. However, Sean if you can pick a song and show the difference between the traditional way (the hard way) with this simpler way. How that sounds. Take "Wild Horses" by Rolling Stones that covers all the chords that you mentioned. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@zzzsydneyhom1379]

Wizard Sean!

[@jasonknowles7967]

Just found this channel the other day. Who knew Paul Rudd was the best guitar teacher on KZbin

I’ll have to take your word on that one antman But for real you make the shit kinda make since. Are at least you don’t make me feel as retarded as I usually do. Appreciate that

[@Greg-om2hb]

I wish I had met you 40 years ago

[@marcob6880]

lol I always use G to be sure I'm tuned, if I'm tuning by ear

[@TheFeelButton]

Making sussies 🤔 some of that Austin inspiration? Cheers Sean!

[@seandaniel23]

just feelin kinda sussy

[@TheFeelButton]

@@seandaniel23 Texas vegan food will do that to ya!

[@davidmckean955]

That stuff you're playing at the end would be even easier in double drop D

[@benjaminhorton8013]

Basically every Ryan Adams song, but with a capo on the 3rd fret. Not putting down Ryan because he is phenomenally talented singer and songwriter.

[@brianmincher716]

Lol at the Spotify joke

[@RLB52]

The peeps like G.

[@eagles_s]

Is C add 9 The Peoples C?

[@mikewilson223]

You said sussy, it sounded dirty. I nearly unfollowed until I realized the importance to the peoples key. The people said it not you. Our music! Btw, Awesome lesson. One of my favorites.

[@eagles_s]

My man said “Those are the 7 chords of the people”

[@aaronbennett1266]

G is also known as "Gods" key! D, would be the "devils".😁🤪

[@wickedlee664]

The beans are indeed sweet.

[@HunnysPlaylists]

The beatles were known for this.

[@jeffro.]

Hey Shawn, putting that triad of G Major at the top of all the chords is really another type of "drone" y'know. Of course, it's not your invention, though. It's the People's invention! Maybe if ya could develop some better technique with your picking hand, those chords might sound better, not just a cacophony. But keep working at it, it might have some promise. Also with playing some melody over the chords, using that pentatonic scale, that could sound good, ya just need to work at it a bit. Don't be lazy, & don't be afraid, dude, you can do it!

[@seandaniel23]

thanks for the inspiration!

[@guy_incognito]

I presume, when you talk about "the people's key" you're referring to some kind of person-in-the-street thing. But what about those other people? The one's who have yachts and estates in the Hamptons? What kind of key would Jeff Bezos be playing in? Stop being such an elitist!

[@seandaniel23]

Bezos also plays in G

[@guy_incognito]

@@seandaniel23 Cheap bastard! Him, not you. You're just a bourgeois lackey. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNIT! I mean UNITE!

[@dan_kay]

I didn't like this one. We have joints in our fingers to move them. Locking one down on the B string? Hell no! Playing an a minor that sounds like kicking a cat in the face because we are too lazy/dumb/untalented to move our fingers? Here's a tip: If it's too hard, practice more often but keep that finger off the B string for fuck's sake. Oh, and another one: Don't play the b minor like you have cerebral palsy. Barre chords are not that difficult. And if they are: practice more. There are no shortcuts.

[@dhuber63]

Wow, Dan. You seem triggered. Maybe use these techniques while you are also mastering the things you've listed. Room for both. Especially for beginners, this moves them forward...

[@alansimpson8962]

Nahh you know the people's key is c it has no sharps or flats in it

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming

[@mindseyemelodies]

thanks for the commie chords ya pinko :D
