Learn 100 Chords in 9 Minutes (D String Edition) Video Lecture | Guitar: Become a Pro (English) - Music

okay so you've watched the previous
videos rooted on the EMEA string and
you're feeling pretty good about your
core game but then what happens all too
often you're on an international flight
the crash lands in the ocean you make it
to a deserted island and your guitar
washes ashore with you and one other
beautiful woman you take out your guitar
to impress era but guess what the E and
the a strings have snapped so now all
your references for root notes are gone
what do you do you know exactly what to
do because you watch this video and you
know how to root a hundred different
chords on the D string right so we're
just going to go through nine different
chord voicings we can move these to any
fret net twelve different notes that's
over 100 of chord voicings you're going
to learn in just a few short minutes and
we're going to start with this one right
here okay this is just a regular major
chord voicing huh now what it is if we
had all six strings it'd be a G major
Barre chord voicing but we're going to
make it easier and just get these three
strings right here your ring finger is
going to be the fifth fret on the D
string the middle finger is the fourth
fret on the g string and your index
finger is the third fret on the B string
now this is the G major forward we can
move this around G sharp major a major a
sharp major B major C major so on and so
forth also choose two on a fuller sound
you can try to bar the bottom two
strings and that would give you a four
note major chord right we have a root
its major third its fist and another
roof okay so this is a tighter voicing
of maybe like an open G course there's a
lot of different ways you can come in
handy in your playing right so the first
one is regular major okay now for every
major four we're going to want a minor
chord to accompany it and we're going to
choose this one right here
okay all it is the same voicings but I'm
going to throw my pinkie down on the B
string so now I've got five d4g
5b and optionally same three now even
though I said we're rooting the chord on
the D string this isn't a minor chord
the root note of this court isn't the D
string is actually the B string where my
pinkie is that's a note this is an E
minor chord so even though it's not the
root note isn't on the D string I'm
still thinking these D string voicings
because that's the lowest note right so
we've got G major - E minor okay and
again this is e minor F minor obscure
minor G minor so on and so forth right
so you got these two major and minor
chord voicings done next we're going to
do we're going to be right here I'm
barring the fifth fret and I've got
using my ring finger or my pinkie on the
seventh fret on the high E string now
this is a major seven chord voicing
where I'm thinking of the root actually
being right here okay so the root note
would be a C this is a C major seven now
another way to look at the root note is
just being wherever the g string is
right
so five five five seven gives you a C
major 7 voicing if you kind of bar the
fitrat lineage like that this would be a
sharp major 7 B major seven so on and so
forth right so after that we're just
gonna let your pinkie up and now this is
going to be I'm just borrowing five five
five five minor seven chord voicing and
honestly a lot of these the name of the
chord is open to interpretation so some
of these can have different chord name
depending on the context in which you
play them but they're just great ones to
learn to kind of like throw in a key of
your choosing right so so far we've got
major minor major seven minor stuff and
if we just want to make a little jam out
of this we can do the same thing with
open pores just kind of hear the
difference that you're getting right so
if we do a G major
QZ minor C major seven a minor seven
same forward with these voicings okay
you can kind of hear a big difference
you can go through the same chords just
by kind of tightening up the boys things
and just getting the higher strings okay
so four down five to go
we're going to go to a suspended chord
voicing while we're here right so now
I'm thinking of 5d I've got a power
forward 7g my pinky is going to get to
eighth fret of the B string then I'm
going to bar it so I'll get the high E
string fifth fret cool
now if we think of this is our root note
this is a G we have G its fifth another
Jia and a those would be AG suspended
two chord boys all right and while our
on the topic of the G chord let's make
AG dominant seven chord voicing a g7
chord voicing all we do here you have
the same root note the GE to fifth fret
on the d-string a major third right
there I'm hitting the 6th fret of the B
string which is going to be the 7th the
flat seventh dominant seventh of a key
and then for good measure I'm going to
throw in another one of these right here
another beat another third alright so
we've got five four six seven
all right now the next thing we're going
to do is we're going to kind of keep
thinking of this gia and I'm going to
just hit the fifth here and then I'm
going to bar the fifth fret so I've got
five seven five five now this is we're
going to call this a G 6/9 you may have
seen this chord before what it is is
basically we're implying that it's a
major chord and writing the six note in
the major scale and the ninth note so we
have a G and it's fifth the sixth note
and we also have ease g a b c d e and
then right here the the a again which is
the highest note we're going all the way
around it's going to be the ninth noah
now so we have a G a D and E and a a now
we can also think of this as kind of
like a minor class cordon again this is
where the kind of how you name the chord
now you perceive it can kind of give the
same four different aims but we're going
to call this a g6 / 9 and I promise you
no one will give you a hard time about
that especially on the Internet alright
so we've got that one and then now we're
going to get to some diminished chord
voicings too right another really cool
one that I like as long as we're still
thinking of mrs. our root note this is a
minor 7 flat 5 chord choice so we have 5
D and then 6 6 6 I'm the D on the G B
and E and D strings right so this is
going to be the 7th chord and the chord
progression which we've talked about
some other videos but a G minor 7 flat 5
so since that means if it's a 7th degree
and a key it'll always resolve nicely on
the one chord of that so if G is our 7
that means this guy right here
a flat is going to be our one
we'll be the resolution so we've got
minor seven flat five into the cord
voice and we learned earlier so we can
kind of like throw these together and
then just kind of take this diminish
down this dissonance one step further
we're going to play like this to make a
full diminisher diminished seventh chord
right so I've got five six five six they
remove the five we can still resolve
that on the one chord if we think of
this as the second right so those are
nine different chord voicings that you
can kind of move anywhere they're
they're all closed voicings you don't
need the open strings to play them and
you can use them you know in any kind of
key or progression right so let's go
through them one more time so we've got
the major chord right here G major E
minor C major seven a minor seven we've
got G suspended we have G 6/9 we have G
minor 7 flat 5 G diminished 7 and also
g7
and I can't I can't leave you hanging
I'm that g7 in fact this kind of feels
like from the chord progressions earlier
kind of feels like it resolves on that a
minor 7 even though a g7 users all bond
on C right but basically that's it over
a hundred more chord progressions
there's definitely a lot of different
ones you can use but I think the main
lesson is just kind of like experiment
even if you just kind of manipulating
these chords right so microts to take
that major forward make it minor we had
that we can have that we can get
different chord voicings I really think
a big thing of what helped me personally
learn a lot of these chord voicings is
just by experimenting kind of grabbing
different notes around them instead of
always kind of playing forwards an open
position
so anyways hopefully that was helpful
