Another great lesson, and a reminder regardless of level, that adds interest to playing chords. Follow the root of the chord up the neck and have fun. Thank you.

Hi Simon, great video, thanks! Would you please consider doing a video on non-bar chord changes which can help develop finger independence in the fretting hand? thanks!

You are welcome sr6382 :) I already have a video on chord changes that might address what you are talking about here. Let me know if it does: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/islleJOpz9qagac.html

Thanks so much for this Simon. I'm a real beginner, and I've been messing around with running open chords up and down the fretboard in DADGAD for about the last year, but had no idea you could do something similar with simple standard tuning.This is so much fun and so helpful. I'm quite interested in describing chords in a different way. I don't like all of those fancy extension names, mainly because I don't understand enough academic music theory, but I think chord extensions can be explained in a different way: that they express the relation of the chord to the key, and those droning notes express the key. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'm kind of interested in starting to learning scales. I've spent so much time in DADGAD over the last two months that I'm not sure whether I should learn scales in that tuning, or in conventional standard tuning. Any advice. I'm quite cuirious about modes too. I've read the theory on modes, and just don't get it. I love the sound of DADGAD - being modal. Miles Davis Kind of Blue just blows my mind. Is the modal music he was exploring the same kind of thing? Anyway too many questions for one comment! Thanks for the awesome post - very generous. :-)

Hi Mark! Glad you enjoyed the lesson and found it helpful for your playing :) I would recommend learning scales in standard tuning, you can always then much around with some scales in DADGAD, but definitely learn to visualise them in standard tuning first. If you've only "read" theory on modes, then yes I can completely understand that you wouldn't get it. Modes are something you need to hear and learn the sound of to get a true understanding and ability to use them yourself etc. Yes, "So What" from Kind Of Blue is modal as pretty much all tunes on that album are from memory. "So What" modulates between D Dorian and Eb Dorian.

It's almost funny to me that while I've been using the barre F shape up and down the neck for years to get G, C, A, D, B, E, etc., I never knew you could do this with open chord shapes. How simple! Also, when you mention pedaling a string/note, what do you mean? Thanks in advance, Simon!

@acousticguitarlessons 2 жыл бұрын

Great to hear you found the lesson useful Thomas! It is funny how some things are so simple but you just don't see it. I've had the same kind of experiences before with my playing. Pedalling a note basically means playing that note constantly as you move through chord changes. So in the context of what I am doing in this video, I am pedalling the open first string throughout as I move the open chord shapes up the fretboard. Does that make sense?

An F with a G and and E is not an F chord. That's why it doesn't sound like an F chord. It's not unique, it's a different chord. Please go watch learn from anyone else.

@acousticguitarlessons 2 жыл бұрын

I know that. I was keeping it simple rather than complicating things with the specific names of the chords. They are unique sounds born from the open chord shape. You may beg to differ and that’s fine :)

@itcangetbetter 2 жыл бұрын

@@acousticguitarlessons Giving inaccurate information to someone building a foundation is certainly a choice. As knowing the actual name makes it no more difficult to play, you're just making it harder for them if they move forward thinking they're playing a chord that they aren't.

@@itcangetbetter I mention several times in the video that the open strings provide extensions to the chords, and I mention that there is no need to get caught up in the specific names of each chord for now.

@@acousticguitarlessons It took you quite a while of calling them what they weren't before you made any mention of that. The whole premise laid out was disingenuous, and it was stated over and over again. Rather detrimental to tell a learner they're playing a chord they're not, over and over, then saying "oh yeah, well there's other things I'm not saying, and I'm still not going to, but hey, nevermind that."

Sorry, why all that effort to play the same chords. Open Chords are boring, well thank you for that insult to all open chord players.

@acousticguitarlessons Жыл бұрын

Why all that effort? There is no effort. They are the same shapes but sound different when you move them up the fretboard, which is the point of the video :) Open chords are not boring in and of themselves, I use them all the time. However if that is all you use, like anything, it gets a little boring. There is so much beyond simply using only open chords which is my point :)
