there's something about playing only on the low strings that adds a lot of emotion to chords
Lower tunings are getting more and more recognition even in those genres. Baritone guitars are gaining popularity.
And leaves room for a leading voice
*I concur; they are quite a nice addition to forming a body of sound that seems to intertwine so well within songs and like you said- adds a lot of emotion to chords*
I’ve never really thought about that but it makes sense! Maybe because playing on low strings has a warmer tone.
@@mickael3274 squire bass VI, a couple pedals with that tremolo and it sounds pretty gaze’y
What's crazy to me is how much shoegaze I hear in grunge. Loved grunge growing up, just discovered shoegaze and it's the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
“Grungegaze”
🔥👌
When I discovered "soft grunge" like Citizen's album Youth, I noticed this. Kind of like a mix of 90's emo and grunge with a touch of shoegaze.
I accidentally discovered shoegaze chords myself and I can’t stop playing with them 🗿
You should skip this shoegaze stage and go right to Jazz
The a string maj9 chord is my absolute favorite chord and shape it's so wonderful to play! Awesome video!
Awesome that so many ambient, jazz, neo-soul/r&b, math-rock, cuban son and bossa chord progressions are quite similar to shoegaze. The big difference lies in rhythms and metrics👌🏽
Love this video. Short, sweet, concise, to the point. No "put this finger on this string at this fret, this finger on the string on this fret, etc". And no detailing of your "musical journey".
My gf introduced me to shoegaze and I love it. As a jazz guitarist, the chord shapes are super similar
So helpful thank you! I just started a shoegaze band with my friends and I’m the rhythm guitarist I was very stuck on a progression as I couldn’t find a chord which flowed nicely with the previous. Luckily I found this video :) you literally helped me write my first ever song thank you
Dang this video is awesome. I’m a rhythm guitarist and seeing these chords helps me find more chords to learn to play. Awesome job
For anyone wanting to learn more of these, they're called shell chords, used heavily in jazz
That vocabulary of "shell chords" alone legit opened up more than what this video offered. Now that I know what they are I don't need a "cheat" sheet to find them. Thanks. haha
It’s funny how no matter what genre I’m playing, as soon as I bring a sus2 chord and play downstrokes, the song enters a Shoegaze terrain.
The blues influence in Shoegaze is kinda crazy!
Esus2 is probably my favourite chord in all of music. it’s so everything
amazing tips. thanks for expanding my chord collection time and time again
Darkwave and shoegaze is my pb and jam ❤
Definitely adding this to my repertoire thank you so much for sharing this!
That dom7sus4! I was crying for resolution! Beautiful. 😊
love it short and simple amazing quality great job man thank you
Didn't know the favourite chords I was playing all the time were Shoegaze chords
Trevor, you're the best dude.
Gorgeous! I absolutely love the open chords . Sus 2 chords are something I found from dream theater Contortionist and other prog music. I love those chords! I'm also a big fan of add 9 chords too!
I meant I really like major 7 and minor 7 chords. Rather than chords from the first three frets :)
Esus2 is one of the most beautiful chords ive ever heard... woah...
amazing, thank you for this! your videos are always either very helpful or very enjoyable :D
Yup! You are the right teacher at the right time!!!
🙏
Such a beautiful tone you’ve dialed in!
good stuff definitely gave me more insight. i knew all these ways but still cool to see it play out especially when you need ideas
*Excellent stuff here Trevor! Glad to see you got the powerchords and Sus2 chords in there too hahaha
Really good video. New chord shapes always help to find new ways.
Thank you!
I just love the right to the point notes!! Thx you sm!
sound amazing
this makes me to run at my grandpa's house and rock his old ass gibson.. nice video !
Unbelievable.
This video was god sent 🙏🏾 thank you 👌🏾💯
thank you! ive learned more on you channel than i did in the 5+ years in of lessons i took. lol. youre the best, dude
ps; do you have a video in ALL G or All D tuning? apparently dudes like Thurston Moore and Kevin Sheilds would tune all their strings to the same note in order to get their drone-y shoegaze sounds. (thurston said he learned it from old blues guitarists, so you could maybe even do a blues video if you want)
when those tunings are used, it's usually open. meaning they just strum all the strings as they are to do 1 big drone. This is known as ostrich tuning first done by Lou Reed and the velvet underground. If any chords are played, all the notes are probably going to be the same. They'd probably fret down multiple strings on the same frets. You can look up Sonic Youth tabs and such too to see how these artists use them
Gracias por los acordes bro. Saludos desde Oaxaca México 🇲🇽
These are literally the only chords I've been playing for the last 10 years and I had no idea what their names were lmao
bro thank you for covering shoegaze ideas actually yuge
G maj 7th reminds me of the first chord I hear in Parkway Drives song The river, sounds so cool
This is a friendly video. Thanks for posting.
lovely!
Wow! Genius !
this is so fireeeeeee omg
Esus2 on the A String is the epitome of shoegaze.
thanks!
great video!
Thank you for inspiring
Nice!
Though i play less shoegazing than psychedelic, the only chord missing in my repertoire is the major…
great video thanks
holy shit ur the goat
Gotta love sus2 chords.
Thank
Reminds me of akira yamaoka!!
Tried making a song with some sus2s, accidentally copied the second chord of everlong with the same strum pattern pretty much
How do you get that sound? Can you share us the amp settings? Thank you.
Who are your favorite shoe gaze artists Trevor?
nuhun tips na a ka angge pisan
I just love the sound of those sus 2's
ty
wave to earth core
Is there a link to the tabs that were shown ?
Sus2 will always remind me of everlong
Slowdive type ❤
Sounds like sales
Damn those half barre chords kill me how do people even do them like D7sus4 one
0:39 pain. (no like i have smaller hands and it HURTS)
Yesss trying to do this on acoustic it’s TOUGH
i never realized the first 2 chords aCTUALLY was m7th!!!
Your neck is beautiful, what type of frets are those?
what’s guitar model is that?
telecaster
Can I use this position for other guitar keys
Are Telecaster guitars good for Shoegaze?
Chords kind of sus.
More plzz
How are all of these chords in the key of g major
Sounds like the underwater levels in Super Mario 64
i love you i love you
Thanks for the vid, very simple yet informative! :)
What Tele is the one u're using? I like mine, but need to change the pickups due to production error.
found out yet?
@@mirrorlightsprod nope, unfortunately not yet :/
❤
what's the music in the end?
What makes the sus 2 chords sus 2 rather than add 9 chords? Feel bad for misnaming my favorite chord
what guitar is that?
The 4th type of chords shown in the video are added9 chords not sus2. 🙂
So it’s jazz with reverb fuzz and delay
Can someone pleaseee tell me what kind of guitar that is?😭Im trying to go for something indie, dreamy tune. No rock tune. The song called „can i call you tonight by Dayglow“ that’s the kind of guitar im looking for !! I would really appreciate the help bec i don’t want to buy the wrong guitar since they are already so expensive
have you found out 😭
@@mirrorlightsprod yes! you need a pedal if you want your guitar to have a different tone
Thanks for all your videos man! Do you have any with this tuning: CGCEGC. This is the used by Elliot Smith and Joni Mitchell.
That last chord looks really hard to play
a jazz chord right?
So... a lot of shell chords. Interesting...wait, SO THIS MEANS THAT FREDDIE GREEN WAS AN INFLUENCE TO SHOEGAZE CHORDS!!!
Shoegaze chords? You’re special.
Wait, how can it be a 7 chord if there are only 3 notes?
sometimes you can omit other notes like the 5th,
you can make a chord sounding a 7th by just pressing the root, 3rd, and 7th or minor 3rd or min 7 if you want minor
@@reumur yeah but then it becomes a triad, not a 7th chord, it's an omit5 chord then if I understand it correctly
I need these chords so I can be mysterious to other girls
Sus chords are beautiful
What is shoegaze?
Sounds like shoelace.
Or Deftones.
Or so.
That’s a lot of sus dominants
2 sus chords 👀
SUS chords 💀
Sus
I feel like this is just the tab sheet to a My Bloody Valentine song which is cheating and I am reporting.
You lookin pretty sussy bruh.
I don’t think any of these chords are in a single MBV song. Shoe gaze is a vibe not a theory. It’s a blend of unknowing, youth, chaos, and destructive harmony.
Bro are you aware MBV have weird guitar tunings? Those are the nearest shape so that you can still play in standard mode.
Sample of their guitar tunings
E-B-E-E-B-e
E-E-E-E-A-e
F-A#-D#-G#-C-f
They literally change their tuning so they can create 6 string extended chords. This video showcases that chords in standard tuning.
Crazy that these are being called shoegaze chords they’re just jazz voicings
