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 KZfaq 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, I know you’re not going to read all 317 comments but I’ve been playing for over 20 years and obviously, I’ve watched a zillion KZfaq clips but I’ve become caught up with you in recent months and I can’t say enough good things about you. It’s also your personality too and I like your approach. Good human being. Keep it up. While I struggle with theory a bit, I’ve mostly in recent years just been trying to open up the whole fretboard and learn five or six ways to play each chord and mix it up and you’re the perfect guy for that. You really opened up scales for me also and give me little nuggets that I can build upon to learn how to use them. I hope you keep up with all of this! Sometimes I tell myself before I can watch a movie or some TV, I need to watch another Sean Daniels clip. You push me to be better! It reminds me of a line from the movie crazy stupid love when Ryan gosylin tells Steve Carrel “ be better than the GAP”…. But here obviously, it becomes “ be better than open chords” - not sound as catchy sounding - but still true

Keep plugging away with the music theory, the more you learn, the more you want to learn. It really starts to unlock a lot of old hurdles and eventually it will all click together. Once you understand it, it becomes extremely fascinating and you'll officially become a music theory nerd.

I like the idea of changing the voicing by moving to different set of strings. I like to think for now of three voices, the trebs, mids, and the base. Then moving between the three voices to change it up and it does change the feeling. It can be sort of like call and response to it. So I sometimes think of a choir of voices that can be switch between. I think it was a few lessons back you were emphasising using only a few of the notes in a chord that started me really thinking more about the "orchestration" in a way. You're a good teacher because of your understated presentation which actually for me allows more to show. Thanks!

Sean enjoyed your video. Started with the Major C and followed your advise. In a very short time I found it a bit awkward to switch fingers and mute the higher unwanted strings. I kept at it and soon realized it was much easier for me to form the standard C chord shape and simply place my index finger in the bar position. Apply light pressure with the index to mute the unwanted strings. I also have the Taylor Builders 324ce. Enjoy your videos. All the best in 2021!

Cool Sean. Willie uses those chords once in a while . This 50 yr player lost use of my left pinky so I cheat once in a while myself. .However my action below the 10 th fret isn't as low as your axe so I keep my A minors away on the 1st and 5th frets. Thanks! Hope the Irish music is coming along. My Dad was an old button player from Galway who I backed up on rhythm. The man had blazing speed!

Good luck to you ole son ! When I started playing in 1972 and my fingers hurt like hell I put the guitar on my knees and got me a medicine bottle and played it Hawaiian Steel Guitar style so I taught myself to play both from the start. And another tip is the secret to understanding chords lies in the C major scale, that is the center where everything else is figured out from. C major scale: C D E F G A B C

Great tips. Damn I wish YT had been around way back in the olden days when I was learning how to play. It took me years of playing and stumbling around to figure this stuff out. So any beginners watching, pay heed, you are way ahead by learning things like this early in your playing life. OK, now WTF do I do about the creepy mirror thing? Peace.
@marciaewell2661 3 жыл бұрын
I use different voicing for fingerstyle blues using mostly the higher voicing of the first 3 strings for instrumentals, intros and fills. I works very well in drop D, DADf#AD and open G as you have so many open strings to ring out, but standard tuning works quite well once you figure out the triad and double stops of the roots for major/ minor as you mentioned. The other reason I like using different voicing with movable chords is it allows me to "cheat" some chords that used to be super easy for me, but now that rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis has taken much of my hand strength away for certain bar chords or even a couple cowboy chords, I have other options to be able to play arrangements with out pain. It helps to be creative in life as you age and as some things get harder, you have to figure out a "go-around" and this is a prime example of how to make guitar simpler if you get a disability that impacts your hands. Think of Joni Mitchel and her use of altered tunings as she suffered from childhood polio that made it hard for her to play simple chords we all take for granted, she ended up becoming famous and successful as her disability helped her find a unique style and sound, and of course, Joni was a gifted songwriter, musician and artist.

Ok, good idea, the 2-note thing. I think a lot of performers do something like this, it's just most beginners don't know this. I found a couple good jazzy-sounding chords once that I can move to anywhere on the fretboard and it's a pretty good chord pattern with relatively little effort. Because guitar is the same pretty much anywhere, the key here is to find something you can transfer. As you said at 5:31, "just experiment until you find what you're looking for."

Hey I have a lesson video request I was watching one of those guitar courses demos The fellow says oh it’s common for experienced players to hit stray strings and it’s your muting that makes its all sound right, so is that true that even better players are hitting unintended strings, and how do you mute with either hand,
