cool Thanks I will practice :o)

Thank you for your tutorial, much appreciated.

Thank you, some chord mysteries explained very clearly. Very informative!

Im not sure maybe something do do with “Home” or something like “going home” im not sure

A Place in the Heart

Very Nice! - sounds like "Jesters Reprieve" perhaps.

Firstly: a very nice melody and of course; played well. A title? It's difficult to be so presumptious but: 'Dawn of hope'. or 'Holding on in hope'. I'm certain you can do better but there's a melancholic but thoughtful and positive feel to the tune.

Thanks, Shawn. This is super helpful. You are a great teacher! I have subscribed. :)

Thanks. I've watched dozens of guitar players try to explain triads, but you are the only one so far who has made it understandable and usable. I will continue to follow you for sure.

Great video. Making me reconsider if I really need an in person instructor.

Thanks. Very clear explanation.

This tip is very helpful when using steel strings. One a nylon string guitar with a low action (common in flamenco) the f chord is a lot easier to play using your index finger on all the strings. I want to clarify that I meant it's easier to play it that way than it is on steel strings, not that it is easier to play with it flat instead of slightly arched.

i'm just a hack lower intermediate but the F was a major breakthrough for me and i jammed the side of my index finger into the position you show but i think i'm getting all the strings ringing. it helped me learn and play the E and A shaped bar chords. the problem i have is flattening the ring finger to play three strings to do an Amaj shaped chord. do you have advice for that, thnx.

Wow- you work fast! It is a cool process to watch. Even more wonderful when those tracks arrive in my inbox! Thanks!!!!

Useful until you need to hammer on the shifted E maj component and can't because you've not learned a full barre.

That is a funky Beaver!

Sound good, but a little different without the background accompaniment. How do you do that? Are there any tabs for that as well?

Great info, very useful video. I hope your channel starts getting some real traction... you deserve it!

Very nice. Reminiscent of the style of Michael Hedges.

what model guitar are you playing ?

Such a cool tune - please come up with more !!! Too good

Very nice, Thank you sir I appreciate it.

Amazing explanation! Cannot wait until tonight when I can try to finally get the F chord!

This has been very helpful since I’m taking lessons

Thank you

I find tying my shoes confusing

You described my level of skill and situation perfectly. I'll be sure to give these some practice. Thanks

As soon as I watched this, I went over to watch a Ted video. The song wasn't on the one I clicked on. I was so ready to hear it!

That would be awesome if you can get some bands to let you come out and play this just before they come out. Just walk up, play it and run off stage.

Love the blue Gretsch

That was pretty cool about not pressing all of those strings down. Omg. How have i never considered that?

Nicely explained and illustrated. 🎼

Thanks Sean. Ted's intro is a sweet one!

This has become one of the most iconic pieces of music on TH-cam.....Thank you.

Barred chords aren't a problem for me, but getting my middle, ring, and pinkie fingers together like that for the B chord sucks.

Brilliant little lesson,can’t stop playing it.Earned my subscription

Nice beginner's intro. Especially the emphasis on comfort and relaxation. I kind of wanted you to relate the two chords more closely to the "5 chords you must know" as a basis. The B isn't just an arbitrary set of finger locations -- it's simply the familiar A chord raised two half-steps. That's clear from the shape when you look, but thinking of the musical relation kind of gives it a reason to be. Then you can point out that F is... hey look, it's the same old E chord, just raised one half-step. And oh my gosh, if we were to take the identical shape and go two more frets up, what would we have? A whole nother way to play a G! Suddenly it all starts making sense. Well, to me, anyway.

Thanks. You are very clear, and have a real pleasant manner.

Great job Shawn. I've heard this opening 100s of times and now, thanks to you, I can play it!!

Ive been playin this the past few years cuz i love it

Thanks Shawn, that’s great!

Beautiful song! Great channel!

Thanks Shawn. I have just about got the 3rd bar under my fingers. I was going to ask could you do a tutorial on the Chords. Take care Mark Uk Liverpool

Awesome! I was a little bummed there wasn't a playthrough! Easy enough to figure out but would have been a nice touch. Thank you Shawn.

Cool! We get the whole enchilada!

I am blown away by how well these tutorials are done. The top down view was so cool. One thing a lot of tutorials get wrong is not showing everything, leaving the viewer trying to fill in the blanks. This is doubly hard with something like this. I know you've been teaching a long time but is this your first YT channel? If so...wow. I put down my guitar many years ago...I did try and pick it up a few years back but found it really difficult to get back into. Now I have a reason to try again.

It’s called La Pompe

I don't suppose you have a bass line for it?
