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

[@MusicWithShawn]

Thank you, have fun with the F chord!

[@bhabi7071]

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

Thank you!

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.

Absolutely! I'll be going over those details in a later video when I demonstrate the full/barre chord versions. Thanks for your feedback!

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

[@MusicWithShawn]

Yes, it can be a total drag getting those fingers to do that form! I'm going to do a video soon about the full-on barre chord versions. Thanks for sharing!
