YOU have the UK one of the most talented players right here on Ytube in John Nathan Cordy, he is phenomenal, has such great musical sensibilities/sensitivities. prefect example of these Subtle Chord Changes.
I’ve been trying to learn guitar for nearly a half a century with very little results. However with your clear and concise instruction my mind is opening up to these concepts.
Lol, thought I was the only one. Been a long time, learned some new concepts, can fumble around with some chords/scales here and there but would never call my self a guitarist or musician even after all this time. Don't seem to have this "block" in any thing else I've tried to learn, but learning guitar is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. Had a friend tell me "you have to have natural talent to play an instrument"...would like to prove him wrong. But I drudge on...like learning new things and one thing I want to do before I leave this earth is learn how to play an instrument. Just seems like a cool thing to be able to do.
I was doing this the other day and I didn't even realize it, just randomly playing with triads and noticed it sounded amazing compared to everything I usually noodle and when I looked at exactly what I was doing, I noticed that the 3 triads I was playing, all had the same note on the B string, and then I started focusing on trying to do that more often and have come up with some MUCH better stuff then usual the past few days.
If someone's thinking about learning how to play guitar do it while you're young because when you're try to do it when you're old it's a struggle it's harder to get the muscle memory everything's harder so learn it early you'll learn it easy and you will retain-it
Don't feel bad it took me twenty and it's been worth every muint of it , some how it's the time it takes to be able to hear it in context to the whole . Until then keep rocking rock on👍
I like to take the bass note and move it chromatically while changing the chords diatonically and going different directions. Usually get tripped up figuring out the fingering, but its fun way to puzzle myself.
I've honestly never heard of doing anything like this in my whole guitar playing life. At first, I wasn't clear on how this was supposed to be working, but then once I got the Patreon handout the ideas made a lot more sense to me. Your Patreon has been incredibly valuable, much MUCH more so than any other TH-camr's whose Patreon I've signed up for. Thank you for all that you do Andrew, it looks like so much work, but I honestly believe that I speak for all of your fans when I say that you are incredibly valuable for top-notch lessons here online. You're one of the true blue "real deals" online when it comes to guitar lessons! Thank you 100x over for all that you do! 💙💙💙💙💙
So humbled ben play for 3 decades andd never knew this simple thing I walked chirds wehen all i had to do was stay local annd put tge suitcase away unless I'm looking or a different sound with who im playing with Nnd super cool as moveable shapes
I agree that slash notation is more practical in this progression. GM7 is clearly named and useful. The chord after it is confusingly misnamed, though. There is no 3rd, so it's not a Major chord, it's a 5 chord. There is no 9 carried over from the previous chord, so it's not a suspension. Perhaps G5M7 add 9 would be more accurate? Plain old slash notation works best here. Aren't the 3 upper voices played above the bass, not below it?
I clicked because that Gsus9 is the main chord for John Mayers Why Georgia, and I've had a hard time playing that dang song from day one. Awesome chord, you can always count on Mayer to use tough chords like that.
As a professional classical musician, native from a non british or ex british colony country, who is slowly self teaching blues and jazz on electric guitar, I need to do quite a brain gimnastic to understand how non classical musicians (guitarist to be specific) aproach armony. And this is super weird, cause the notes are the same, the armony is the same...my armony knowledge is pretty hig (I can analyze a Wagner partiture and compose some 4 voices easy things) but thinking at music without a pentagram, instead using a guitar tab, calling notes with alphabet letters instead of using their names, and most hard thing to digest is that everything has to be seing from left hand shapes prospective (wich is reasonable, since left hand can stretch that much) losing almost completly the concept of chirds "rivolti". Your videos are super well made, hopefully will help me with this difficulties and will allowd me to aproach music in this much different electric-guitar pov.
Wow that opening is Devoid of the Stratocaster BARK sound. I am impressed. Must be your precise fingering, esp. after seeing you do the Spider fingering. Thanks to you I can do the Spider pretty well, but not quite that precise, even so it much improves ones playing, immensely. Those little changes with the G bass, the unfortunate part is the subtilties get lost in a mix with a band. I think of a song like "Til there was you" by the Beatles, George's Solo, the beautiful chord changes that today are lost in Mixes, due to overdrives, and what others are playing. Now SOLO guitar like Joe Pass, you can hear these. Thinking of Johnny Smith's Jazz albums, they were Beautiful, just seems so lost today. And along came Eric Johnson with his unique Piano technique and Spread Triads, in Rock/Fusion playing that is one of HIS huge contributions to it. I still regard him as the best more or less Stock Stratocaster player today.
I wasn't able to do that, TH-cam removed that feature, so... instead I had to download an auto-generated file and then re-upload it. Bit of a chore, but regardless it's done. The subtitles are now showing.
Andrew, I've noticed that most of the other TH-cam guitar teachers will steal your ideas, your video titles, and your lessons in general.

@@christopherlilley8762NO. Are you mad? If they acknowledge the source… then maybe. But you COMPLETELY LACK an understanding of why people exist - to serve and be served. Acquiring information about the universe HAS NO VALUE if the human is considered last. But the information is an invaluable addition if the human value is considered first. If there was no human to observe, what would be the point in knowing anything? How are people so blind?
@@TarzanHedgepethwhy never mad. I don't spend my time focused on negatively driven thought. Simply looking to add some positivity to an already too dark world. I appreciate every lesson I get and have yet to get the hang of. Not saying anyone is wrong. Sorry if that was your take on my comment.
We as teachers should start referring to the 7th chord in a key as half diminished to avoid confusion in the future as student realize that diminished voicings will often add additional notes (like the double flat 7) that aren’t in the key.
Hi Andrew, great lesson, on behalf of guitarists everywhere, thank you… ps ?? Are you calling it a Gsus9 because of where the A is… I ask because I would call it a Gmaj9
Hello Mark, The chord is a "Gsus9." This is due to the fact that the group of notes which make up the chord voicing played in my lesson plan are; "G, F#, A, D." The "G" is our "Root," "F#" is the "Major 7," the "A" is the "9" and the "D" is this chord's "Perfect 5th." There is no "Major 3rd" in this chord (no "B" note). So, it cannot be called a "Gmaj9." The missing "B" note is the "Suspension," and thus the specific reason behind calling the chord a "Sus" chord. Hope this helps.
@@CoolSpuds These two points of view above demonstrate why keyboard players stick to slash chords!! With a slash chord everyone who understands them"knows where they are'and In the real world these would be named as slash chords.Can you imagine calling out this lot but ignoring the bass note relavance.Many jazz progressions are thought of as "the basic chord"with a moving bassline by many pros.
I can't afford to pay for lessons or tips because there's too many guitars I still need to assimilate but I must say that Gsus9 is a magnificent chord Each note or combination of notes works well in any rotation . Thank you!!
too many guitars to assimilate (take in (information, ideas, or culture) and understand fully)? It almost sounds like you mean that there are so many guitars for you to "acquire" that you can't afford to learn how to play them... but you must have meant something else, right?
@@backcareplus9567 not sure if you're triggered but no I learn how to play everyday... I wouldnt mind paying a great teacher if I wasn't saving for a few guitars I've never got to play. .. Nothing expensive or special but just a handful of guitars I've always wanted. I am at a stage where lessons don't really help and I'm not sure why anyone would need a personal lessons these days anyway. We are swimming in an ocean of information and resources but structured lessons can shave off some time and energy I guess

You seem to be very knowledgeable about playing guitars... by any chance do you know what happens to all my plectrums?, ive narrowed it down to gypsies or fairies..
This lesson is gold. But please, please, don’t make people relearn these simple cord shapes into something very challenging. Just thumb over the base G. I know it’s not “correct “ but I’m this situation it’s a 2 second instant change. It would take me more than a week to relearn all those new shapes. Especially the G/over D you have. And it’s an inversion of D.
flat five in the bass??? that's just something that sometimes happens between a guitarist and a bass player without them thinking about it, is't it ??? EDIT: oh, chord substitution, gotcha.

You have to LOVE a Stratocaster. So beautiful. I bought a STrat Plus back in 1988 brand new and have never loved another guitar more.
Yes. I agree you are best teacher. You combine theory with practicality making it simple. The results are fast good guitar training.

At video position 501, the chord shown is Gmaj9 not Gsus 9 . Voicing 1,3, 7,2/9 -- 1, flat 7, 2, 4 equals sus 9 voicing.
At 5:00, low to high, it’s G(1), F#(7), A(2,9) and D(5) making it a Gsus2.
