The TRUTH About 3 Chords and the Truth

[@PaulEvans-j7h]

So much in the lesson, so much more than my own capability but I can still take much from it. Enjoyed another of your alternative voicings uploads the other day too.

Another way to change from Bmin to Dmaj, is to move the pinky to the 5th fret of the 5th string which is the C shape for D, as Bmin and Dmaj, share the same scale.

[@mikenighbor4524]

One of your best lessons for me!!!! Things keep connecting when i watch your videos

[@waldenmathews8059]

The implied f sharp is surprisingly powerful. Know why it's there? It's in the fifth partial (harmonic) of the d root. It's truly amazing that that d chord sounds so major!

[@seandaniel23]

Well it's in the Bm chord right before it so that kind of gets your ear ready for it. But it's also kinda crazy how our ears will just lock in a key and fill in the blanks.

[@Bastikovski99]

Thanks for the ideas. Always looking for ways to expand my rep-a-twa. Btw, I loved the video you made a few years back reviewing Elliott Smith’s Albums. Have you ever thought of doing any retrospectives or stylistic breakdowns of any other artists?

Meistro thanks for so much insight, fun, and knowledge in 3ish truths.

[@romangarner7985]

Best show ever! The truth takes it‘s time. I enjoyed every moment!

[@joeandreana2645]

3 Chords and the truth back in the day meant I can Busk the Subway (or the quad at college) with 3 chords, a Montgomery Ward acoustic and open hard case for beer $.

[@swillywilly3183]

That's an old Country Statement 3 chords and the Truth. Usually simple G C D yours more complicated intermediate range Bm D G

Awesome content!

Great stuff!

Dang it!! You were here in Indiana at Sweetwater and I didn’t see you!!

Good rythym tips

[@DanVock]

When I hear "Three Chords and the Truth," I think of Bono in the intro to "All Along the Watchtower." Ironically, this progression is basically just "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" in a different key.

[@JohnnyFootwrinkle]

Jones About You by Starbuck, worthy of everyones attention. For a different flavour with the 3, for example, A D E throw in Amin7 Dmin9 E7#9 or for something like Amin Dmin G C (thinking G n R dont cry / Flowers Miley Cyrus) use Amin7 Dm9 Gsus9 C and flip between them. Cool vid, thanks for the tips! :)

Will you please audition for Love Island?

[@seandaniel23]

Is this my ultimate destiny?

[@nateo7045]

@@seandaniel23 You were cut out for this role, Sean. We all believe in you ❤️

[@ud9hh]

So what actually is placement for the d chord?

[@trusarmor4957]

[@TheHesseJames]

Pro tip for you and Mia. Next time play Baker Street (the song 😂). That’s such a banger for a violin/ acoustic combo.

[@jamescurtis8584]

Why not Bleeker St?

[@simonsmith2642]

With a bass player. I will just play triads or inversions. Or you could capo and change the fingerings.

[@toblue7451]

MAN,,,Sean ! How about The "" Bmaj bared Cord"" ???? Ol West

[@donindri]

Very informative lesson, but you neglected to mention the truthiest thing about your patreon. You can watch videos like this without getting interrupted by 3 different yousician ads! Thanks for posting.

[@teembo]

Sean: have you tried playing the D chord as a first finger bar across strings 1-3? It seems a bit simpler.

[@Dinglebeardedlady]

Right?

[@Dinglebeardedlady]

Sean plays IN bars, he doesn't PLAY bars.

[@teembo]

@@Dinglebeardedlady too funny!

[@mjonez8892]

That is 6/8

[@nateday9328]

During the distrokid ad, i couldnt help but think that i dont think I've seen sean with a beard...or any kind of real thick facial hair...hmmm
