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

-
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 of buzzing noises that can happen
