Being a “home guitarist” (self taught - so far), I stumbled onto experimenting with this type of exercise for each of the “standard” chords I initially learned. I don’t know what the “variations” are called, but have tried memorizing which work (sound good) or don’t. It definitely can result in hours of fun and creative playing time, just like Justin shows here 😃

Same thing with me. All self taught, learn by ear. I guess there must be ppl who don't think of that, meaning they'll probably never be much on a guitar but they'll buy apps to become a lead player in 2 hours.

Question, but once I can do my open chords without looking (I can only do E/A/D 90% of the time without looking) what should I do next? It took me a long time to learn two chords where I am comfortable playing them, and six months is a long time I think. Considering I have around eight more chords to learn to at least my current level of A/D I am beyond frustrated.

I always play the standard D Minor open by barring the B and E strings at the first fret with my index finger. If I lift my ring finger, I get Dm7 which is more useful than Dm6 in that context, but more importantly, if I lift my the ring and middle finger, I get G7sus4, which is always good. Minor 6 is a close synonym to dominant 9 (Am6 = D9 (no tonic)), also, if you flatten the 6 you get a major 7 - Amb6 = Fmaj7 - they can sound very cool together. If you substitute #4 for the 3rd on a D7 you get the high tension chord in George Harrison's Wah Wah (but try it 12 frets up but with an open D string).

I've been playing for several years and decided to find out why I never make progress so decided to start with course1. Hard to believe how much easier it is to play when you learn the things you can't teach yourself. It is nice to understand the guitar and not just learn riffs. I don't know if you have done a lesson about your favorite guitars but that would be interesting.

@JustinGuitar I have a question: should I move my thumb behind the neck while changing between the D, Dsus4 and Dsus2? I suspect I should learn doing that with the mute on, but it feels impossible, fingers are so tight on the strings. I'm so confused which is correct and how to learn those grips. Could you help with a comment?
@justinguitar 2 жыл бұрын
Normally, it should stay where it is and only some fingers on the fretboard are being lifted/put down. Are you pressing down the strings too hard? finding the right pressure is a crucial part to avoid bad habits, bad posture, less fluent plays etc. | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide, Approved Teacher & Moderator
@hokahey8051 2 жыл бұрын
@@justinguitar Thank you so much for the answer. Playing those embelishments (sus chords) is easy if I hold my thumb behind the neck but hard when I'm muting the low E string. I don't feel that I put more pressure then, frankly I'cannot find out what's going on. But your comment that I should be able to use Dsus chords regardles of muting the E string with the thumb helps a lot - I will simply try to find the way. I Wasn't sure what is correct and thought maybe I should just move the thumb and that's all there is to it. Thanks again!
