Beautiful H535! I have a ’91 blonde flamed maple. Thinking I might throw some lessons up here too. Been playing since I was 11 – 25 years now, was a jazz major in college. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. Very nice approach to your lessons. Do you get into the theory end of things? I think I may have a very simple yet effective approach? for novice and intermediate players. I just want to complement you on your clear and simple teaching style geared toward the student and not yourself.

@sam261007 same i’ve learned a lots from him from the biginner for now i’ve been played for half year and i want to? get better and better music is flowing in my blood +.+

3:20 – 3:22 What The Fuck? ?! XD

once again, Thanks Marty, you’ve opened my eyes to how easy? it is to play chords all over the fretboard. You make learning so easy.

yet another genius lesson. thanx dude…?

ITS? MAGIC!!

Probably the most useful video ive watched on u tube, not only is it very clear and easy to understand, but he explains the theory so well that even I understood it.

And what is amazing about the video is that it isnt your? standard, “copy this lick and you can be cool” type of thing… but its something that will enable you to be very creative, especially in a jam situation.

that d minor shape E whats going on with his? 3 finger? hitting a root note? i dont seem to do my dm shape that wa

Thanks for the? awesome video

@SanFranGiants2010 As far as how you know? what the root note is when you are playing the D or Dm shapes, the root will always be your ring finger. Now, that doesn’t tell you a whole lot if your friend plays a Gm and in a split second you need to know where the Gm is on the neck. For this I would recommend memorizing a few key spots (ie middle finger on 7th for a G, 12th for a C) and then you should be able to quickly memorize the surround chords. At least, this works for me.

@SanFranGiants2010 The reason you couldn’t use a C shape in any position is because the G and high E are open strings in this chord’s structure.? Therefore, when you move this C shape around you are adding an open G and E to everything, and these notes are not a part of every chord. However, you do end up getting cool sounds that will usually complement a given chord. Try the C shape 2nd string 5th fret with a normal D in the background to see what I mean.

Very nice job explaining the chords!!!?

@iluvmyaxe I believe he plays it at 10:10 It is the D that is used in Stairway to Heaven. XX4232. I think he is leaving out the high F# and playing XX432x. It is actually just the CAGE version of C. Play an open C and move it up two frets. X54232
?

@iluvmyaxe I think you have to go? to the site, a thing popped up saying the rest of the 21 minute video is on the website.

That video was sick! My only two questions are do you always use the D or Dm shapes to move around or can you use a C chord and move the root up a whole step and would that be a D chord? And how do you know what the root note is? I know its the name? of the chord and usually the lowest note but on the D chord its on the 2nd string. Thanks!

very nice lesson but u didnt show us the other way to play the? d chord lol

I recently subcribed to your free blues lessons, and after 20 yrs of playing I transformed my rock into Spanish music, thank you so much Marty you? are the King of Kings with the guitar, do you play any other instrument as I want to compliment what I have learned and transform my music vocabulary onto another level, Keep Rocking dude .xxxxxxxxx

the best guitar lessons? thanks Marti

Great lesson! Everyone tried to explain that to? me but never understood until I saw your video. Thank you so much.

D minor might be the? saddest key – Not D

“it’s the D chord man, i mean who knew?!”

6 people can’t play a D? chord.

5:55? is hilarious.
