How to Build EVERY Chord on Guitar | How Chords Are Named | Chord Formula Guitar

If you could give some tips on chords on a electric guitar that would be appreciated, really want to get into rock and punk music. I know about power chords a bit but that's all

I really appreciate this video it's helped put the pieces of the puzzle together for me somewhat at least. What I always get stuck on when trying to construct complex chords is that I have a tendency of wanting every interval to be sequential on the fretboard. So the 1 followed by the 3 on the next string and the 5 on the next etc. This is obviously not feasible. What I've gathered is that at least on guitar the notes can be in pretty much any order like the 1, 7, 5, 3 etc. I need to make my brain see chords in this way

This is amazing. Thank you

Everyhting was useless except the thing , that I have to know chord in different places on fretboard and then simply connect the notes together while soloing.

That may have been one of the best chord videos I’ve ever seen

Had to slow it down to 75% playback speed, but very helpful. Thanks.

I gave up after five minutes. I’m a give up early guy. ( been playing badly for 30 years)….. kill me.

BRILLIANT 🙏 absolute GOLD

The most comprehensive lesson on chord formation..
Thanks so much man🙌🏽

What does the numbers denote please reply🙏🏻

what are the odds once i understood the g major scale i stumble across this video.. great information in a very digestible way, thanks for this post :p

Amazing video!! Thank you so much

hi😊

I applaud you sir thank you sooo much

Finally, I can now read chords without having to scroll through google on how to play a chord that is complicated

Cant underestimate the importance of this channel. Great job man. Definitely my favorite theory channel

Fantastic. Thank you.

Do the 9, 11, 13 have to be an octave higher?

I really want to give props

Why can't everybody teach like this? That was terrifying! What a great content!

Fabulous 🤩🤩

My math teacher was right learning math is easier than learning about musics

I’ve watched this video 3 times. As someone new to the guitar, each time i’ve finished watching this, im left thinking ‘i understood all this, so why do i feel like i’ve retained none of it’!! It’s really put doubt in my mind that i’m ever going to get to a competent level with any of this.

HOWEVER, what i’ve come to realise is, the main focus HAS to be on memorising the fretboard! I could draw you it out no probs, it’s actually one of the most simplest parts of learning the guitar, but rapidly finding notes is going to take some time. Once comfortable with the fretboard, then you only need to understand and retain chord formulas!!

I know I’m a couple of years late, but I want to thank you for this explanation. I’ve never seen it presented in this way.

Wow ! This lesson has tons and tons of information packed into one short video. I'll watch it several more times to digest it all. I appreciate all of the illustrations which do a great job in breaking this all down. Great video. Craig Ewinger

This only for guitar or i can use it in Piano as iam beginner ,i was hardly looking for this lesson ?

I understand it now

I'm so grateful to you. I never could afford a guitar teacher. Your explainations are very clear and usefull .
God bless you in this life and in the hereafter. Ameen

As most of the cases, guitar string #2 (A) and #6 (E) is non-playable/silent/muted, I was wondering how could you strum a chord using #1, 3, 4, 5 strings without using a bar/pointing finger or open string? If I only play string# 3, 4, 5, then I miss the root on the string #1! Also, if I want to play the same pattern on other key roots by sliding up to the higher frets on string #1 only, smooth transition would be difficult due to octave jump. This problem can be overcome by splitting the root note position on higher and lower strings so that you can play the same chord in two different positions only a few frets apart. I only memorize the chord patterns for each chord type that can only be played using a bar (covering at least 4-5 strings consecutively), sliding up/down the frets to follow the root note in all keys on both higher and lower string positions. So, total pattern to remember is the Number of chord types x 2, sufficient for a rhythm guitarist, but may not work for the lead/jazz guitarists.

This is Fantastic Sam ....Thank you

Hi

What do you do with the A string? G B D F#

the question left is
how did we supposed to know the formula triad of each suspended, augmented, etc are?
I mean like how the diminished triad is 1-b3-b5 ?
is there any reason why they're named that way?

& there you have it ! CHA!  
this has to be the most concise & direct Theory Explanation/Lesson I ever heard. Using a Flat /Neutral Tone with Vocals was genius. There was no distraction while watching the Fretboard and SEEING what was being explained helped it all STICK. Thank you!

I was scred of these now i understand how easy are all of these..😂

How do i choose which 1st 3rd and 5th to use

You're a teacher LEGEND! Providing actual methods with which we can go out and enjoy playing and finding out stuff ourselves. legend

This video reminds me why i quit guitar many times

This is a great vudeo, but now how should i go about applying this to barre chords. Also, are you supposed to figure out a chord shape and then memorize it, or do you make them up every time you improvise? And last thing, what is the difference in playing the same chord using a different shape or bar in a different position on the fretboard? It sounds different, but it is the same chord, so should i just play the shape that sounds best in a certain context, or are there "rules" on what to use? Sorry for the long comment, but it's insane how hard it is to find answers online 🙏. I looked into the caged system, but some people kept saying not to use it without really showing any alternative

you have the best simplified way of explaining difficult music theory. the best i have seen so far.

yea coming from piano , this cleared a bit up . To make a map of notes on the guitar is really frustrating . On the piano i jsut look down and see everything , on guitar its like spaghetti

I have seen this more than a month ago and it helped me understand a lot. I return to the notes taken from this video often.

Great piece of learning here. Thank you!

Brilliant....!!! thank you.... 🙏

Thanks. An amazing guitar teacher.

Best video ever made.

Great! however we only have four fingers on the neck....so how on earth can you add 9 and 11 and 13? open strings? who decides what is necessary note wise?

Can you do a video on fingerings? Ive watched a few of your videos but without knowing where to place my fingers to build these chords its kinda useless
