all within about I'm hoping for around 30 minutes of actual

learning time to follow along to lessen we're gonna be running through the

course book here so you can download and print out your copy to full-on

despite clicking on the link below it so let's get started

is actually just 10 chords that we need to really get going with all this

to kinda lay down the foundation so you may owe you may not know

already beast ports but if you don't there's another video on the site that

will explain how to perform each one in detail

boats gonna run through them quickly now so when you gonna need

am secord on and notice here that I'm using my thumb to block out the

16 because it sounds bad against the court for example on

are doesn't really work okay so it's important to be their voice strumming it

Ortiz your farm

to muted out on

from there were gonna need Amy di Minea court looks like this soon

and here again you meeting out the low E string case going to some very bad

are just doesn't fit in so again you wanna get relive it

and you can use they open fishing however that's gonna be fine

on

on

on

but technically the root note is the fourth Street I

nine

and I'm gonna need and be mine Accord which is one of the easy ones to learn

sounds like this do

and Tom you can order within his wanted to your fingers to entry

%uh

nightly both ways and ima need the dreaded

F courts are the easiest version even if you can't use gonna be

their trip here on the faltering

second fret on the 3rd string in first fret on the second string so it's like

not really in F major 7

but you can use it as an escort substitute in case the other

versions are too hard few years me you work perfectly fine with a lot

songs kinda get outta jail F chord I if you wanna do a proper F

then not the next version up in difficulty would be here where you

bar the same shape features bar these top two strings with your for seniors

who

a case you have not as high if not now

good meantime

and when his secrets to getting that to come out a stunning grip your guitar

like a baseball bat

so that the net kinda this feeling in to the palm at the back here

she had like this baseball bat back grip my

like that am next up we going to G chord do

sure everyone knows that one %uh and then we can eat in a minute on

begins from the um to fit stream down

and I'm eating out lowey it went on terrible if you include your lowey

because it is a power cord be just get a cleaner more pure sounding a minor on

if you and meet the six train and

demonym eat some kind of would be minor which again is really a

wanna hard courts will begins to learn again uses visual beauty open for three

namaz me on the third three Ni

search for a second and 1st fret

sigh second-rate on the first ring see headline good

night

that's the easiest version be my normal one of the easiest ones

and because if you can do your phone book or shape that's all the better

on the New Years sounds a lot stronger

demand a need some kinda D chord this one obviously is the most popular

night

that again with the root node on the 4th string but you can include your shift as

well

don't include you know we on this once concern really bad luck

the 90s really clashes am

ima gonna need Andy Cohen I'm

reconstruct all six strings across their I

and finally in a court

with your record you can order it was fingers 234 or

12 in Trini or regional city discretionary have the second for its a

second thing in the first finger and then you searching on

redif depends upon the size if your fingers which version

or shape you're gonna find time easiest to hold in a chord with seeking

experiment with that

so i'd there is a $10 essential chords

that we need to get going if you don't know how to form any other shapes we

were unable to pick it up just their

I'm I've done a second video way right to a close up

and down show you how to form the cord

can step by step so I but it for

this first step on your page 1 is to learn your ten Essential

pretty open courts dinner next one

we have to go onto is so how to organize those courts

into system case it's no point in just learning

a bunch of random courts because you don't know how they work together all

what to do with them so on the way that we

actually organize court is by putting them into you keys

and key is basically like little family if courts the collection of them seven

seven courts where they all work together they all agree with each other

in kind of like

performs a little musical world that sounds good

and songs get written inside of keys

there sa 24 different keys but we can start of

just by learning to love them scandal we need to get going

for ski we're going to learn is keep see

and again this seven courts they're going to cover here

so I'm you starting off with a secord obviously cuz wen Qi si

9 an important to me to use D minor nine

port number three-c_ mines

would force and if Mar

court 5g I'm

more than six team a minute on

in court seven is be diminished on

what results back and see

so we know all those courts except for the diminished one at the end

and Tom I'll show you how to do that now it's gonna be the second fret on 5th

Street

and then the second fret on the thirteenths you skipping over string

there

then you going coming here on the third federal fourth ring

and then the third fret on second stream

with the other two things has a very symmetrical shape on

on

would love tension because it has tritone intervals

inside oven

not all that tension energy gets resolved

on

into a place of rest when you resolve into semen

so once again you have seen its go through the Kenyan

night

be mine

mine

in

the NCI

be diminish even

C

some sure he could hear how we created little musical world

using those seven courts where everything feet in really well together

the Knicks key that we can 9 to you using the

courts we already learnt is Keith G sir

once again a stunning on the cheek was out on a squad number one

nine

14 now would be in a mine

with 3 E's be mine on

court for C

board five years dean

16 in mind

17 is if shopped emissions

and hewlett engineering and in school is often

gene for F sharp diminished it's the same shade

as be diminished its just starting in a different place here

on the first fatal 243 see once you learn your be

munitions just transpose that entire shape

with the first thing you now starting on the first fatal faltering night

you can have your shop dimensions

these diminished shapes the 7th Court they really don't get used the whole lot

in pop songs although the Beatles did find some

really ingenious ways including diminished chords and

pop songs which is really really clever but genuinely

a you don't used them too much say

week using them all learning the mostly just to be able to complete the full

key on guitar so um that's kinda like step to you

once you have learnt your ten Essential shapes

the next step is to organize them into the two keys

though we've just been through the key of see

and Kiev G and make sure that you memorize those so that you don't have to

look at the sheet or not

like that you cannot display them from memory once you have

those two steps the next thing to adian to the mix is going to be the use of any

caper or capper depending on which way you want to pronounce it

I'm and they come in a lot of different shapes and sizes and price points

so my one hears

just an example I'm and what happens is that we can

placed this somewhere on our guitar say

here on the 2nd fret news 12 place it kind of just behind the Frick

and I am now we can take all the courts in

the two keys that we've learnt you play them in front of them

caper position and that instantly allows us to play in the Tana

new keys as I mentioned is 24 keys so for example now

we can have none

on

my

on

on

morph remove it same time one trip now in a different key

on

the

mmm

no word about up saying on 243 nine

I

done

my

do

on

see our handy DC don't have to learn any new court she simply

media caper two different positions up and down the neck

and playing in the QC and keep G now you have

I really extended-range keys that you complain and this is really important

because obviously

not all songs are written in the key of C you know the Kia

G they could be in something like a a flat or

see shop you know all these different he say using

the caper re and attain courts organized into those hoochies

using that combination gives us the power to play in a lot of different keys

in a lot of different songs

simply by adding in cable into the mix so I on the next page

we're going to out talk a little bit about

how to make you courts sound perfect so

what happens is that a lot or beginners

am will learn the shape accord but it still sounds awful

even though the fingers are in the right I place

so this three reasons normally for this

many fingers you kinda as a checklist so safer having

Corsi as an example alright saline

on can be that im I find that you have like a buzzing

sound on wanted the strings or perhaps one industry and

is meted out in its not sounding so wat

chip to check that is just to choose your court in and go downstream

questioning

nine

I

I want to make sure that every stream within the court is sounding

nice in clear Casey get a full sounding court

so the first thing is kinda obvious which means that you want to make sure

that you're pressing down hard enough

on each point O'Kane for beginners it hurts you know when you start learning

to play

and for this reason a lot of beginners avoid pressing down hard because hurting

their fingers

but I it's a something you have to persevere with little pain barrier to go

through

until the calluses build up a top city fingers and its gonna stop hurting

but until then you might find some you courts are working simply because

on certain points in our actually pressing down hard enough to make the No

come out

sets the first thing to check then

you wanna make sure that you're on placing your fingers

just behind the fritz wherever possible sir within this third fret I could place

my finger back here

at the back or I could play said at front and given a choice it's always

better to place your fingers

directly behind e-trade she can see

here behind the third here on a second here behind the first rights here

just behind for its own my C shape is pushed forward to the front rather than

being at the back

and on every chord is not possible but wherever it is

try to endeavor to que finished just behind for

9 and that will help you to eliminate a lot
