Thank God...you put the tabs and notation on the top of the screen for those of us that cast to a tv and hit pause.... outstanding lessons too!

[@Gardinerrrrrrrr]

you're the best guitar teacher on youtube, patient and concise!

[@uniquetutorials6341]

One of the best guitar theory lesson of all time!!!!

[@hr936]

This is the most important lesson to know my guitar within 26 minutes! Nah, I need a minimum of 26 days! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in an understandable way.

[@chandanapieris7473]

Rob your a great teacher, very calming to listen to after a hard day's night.

[@jahissa]

Thank you my guitar teacher, one of the best lessons I have seen.Every time I heard a 13 chord i felt like I was going to drop my guitar and run from it haha Lord have mercy..

[@johnnytightlips991]

This is a goldmine of info. You're doing gods work man

[@MarinaAlbert]

Wonderful treasure i found today. God bless you...Great teacher

[@swiftlessons]

Thank you for the warm and positive message Marina. So happy that you are enjoying my lessons and excited to learn with me. Many more are on the way.

[@MarinaAlbert]

@@swiftlessons Great...Keep up the good work...i have been struggling learning things myself all these ages though i play lead rhythm and bass now but now I found a more correct way of doing things. Thank you

[@dellconsalvo3687]

One of the most useful guitar lessons on KZbin. Thanks for calling out the intervals, and providing the fretboard diagrams of each chord. I review this lesson frequently until I can build each chord without any help. Great teaching style!

[@elphieredondo2307]

Never get tired of watching ur video thank you for teaching us.

[@colehillyer2329]

Thank you for making this great lesson. Very helpful to see the scale degrees alongside the tabs.

[@earecha5]

The exact thing I was looking for. I was looking to expand my chord vocabulary and having a theory explanation accommodated with the video really made this lesson set aside from others.

[@luiscarlossauceda6291]

You are the best Rob. I´m learing al lot and also I´m your fan. Thank you for sharing.

[@RossMooreEnt]

Very effective teaching! Thank you so much

[@chandu589]

Sir you r really graet teacher... I always learn with your lesson।thank you for your videos।🙏🙏

[@stevedouglas7375]

Rob, thank you for doing this lesson for us! Much appreciated. By the way, did you ever put together a CD (or whatever) of some the songs you sing?? You have a fantastic voice that I think should be heard by everyone. It should be on the radio and even in a movie. If you haven't done it already, you should float one of your songs to an agency (agency?), or movie entity. Just saying....

[@shuklajayant]

Thank you for the beautiful lesson. Happy new year

[@matthewboren708]

Hey man just wanna give you a huge shout out.. Your lessons are straight up perfect.. You are officially my go to teacher and thank you for helping..

[@dgmg1578]

Very powerful lesson it'll take awhile to memorize these

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks. I don’t expect or recommend anyone consume this lesson all at once. Add a few of these shapes to your vocabulary each week.

[@ayushyadav353]

Hi could you please make a tutorial on 'the way that I love you' by passanger the into is just beautiful ❤️

[@ianlancelot2068]

these chords remind me of SRV, tks

[@thebomontellano4996]

10:36 cool

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

A Major and A Minor walk into a Barre

[@iliketea3444]

What kind of a guitar you got, is it a classic or western?

[@martinezdecap]

If I keep the same shapes, but start at a different note, will the chord translate to the appropriate starting point? For example, if I make all the shapes shown in this video but my root note is a B, will they all follow the same chord names but in the key of B?

[@swiftlessons]

Yes, all of these shapes can be transposed simply by moving them to a different fret. The chord type (major, minor, dom7, min7 etc.) will stay the same, and the key of the chord will be determined by the name of the root note.

[@martinezdecap]

Hi! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! You are great for sharing this video and providing all your knowledge. I appreciate you! I’m giving you a like and subscribe!

[@scribblemaker4994]

Maybe i went through this too fast but why is the chordshape Amaj7 two times in there? It seems nearly the Same chord? Would be Great if someone could help me out :)

[@scribblemaker4994]

Or Even several Chords are in there twice aaaah did i missed something?

[@swiftlessons]

In section one I teach it as a barre chord, and in section two I demonstrate how it would be played with a common jazz fingering.

[@scribblemaker4994]

@@swiftlessons thanks a lot ! :)
