      You guys didnt get the Point of this Video... this knowlege is superpower because he explains where the chords are coming from that means you can play basicly every chord you want by slinding it around a minor could be bmin cmin dmin... and so on please dont skip the Video.

    I searched high and low for this ridiculously simple piece of information, and he's the only one who gave it. E string barre chords are based on E note shapes, and A string barre chords are based on A note shapes. This answered my question "How do I know which barre chords shapes to play?" I love you so much!

    Note 🎵 to self and others start with the standard notes 🎶 skipping sharps and flats at first. This helps prevent guitar destroyer behavior, for hand cramps place bar finger last and let middle finger be the finder finger. Prevents binding of tendons of wrist. Test it, total beginners get started right.

      jarka1361 also I started with a ,e and d chord and some practices for fingers and your fingers will hurt for like a week .( depends on how often you play ) When you learn a, d and e you should try switching between chords. Try to play as many chords as you can under a minute. You will see yourself progress. Then you can easily play some simple 3 chord song.

    Hello Sir, Little correction. On 2:43, while playing the A minor barre chord, we play the string number 5 and 4 with finger number 3 and 4 respectively, but on your chord diagram, finger number 2,3 are shown. Well it might confuse some beginners so thought of bringing it to your notice. I love your lessons sir. Keep up the great work.
