Wish I would have watched this when I first started playing. Really easy to use info and it gets you playing right away. Also teaches you basic theory. Good stuff, Sean!
Hi Sean, despite we are far apart for thousand of miles, each time I want to learn any new technique or remind me of something your videos are the ones i always look first due your great communication skills, sense of humor, and of course, your own way to explain everything as simply as possible. Fancy studios, video editions, lots of tech do not make the difference when we want to learn, and specially understand what we are hearing and watching. Thanks for your videos and keep going as you are!
Sean You are very good. I am a pediatrician in Orlando who has been taking lessons with Ian Stich for almost three years via computer. I am amazed at the florida west coast music scene
Wow ! You never cease to amaze me with the simplicity that you are able to convey some great ideas to play on guitar. I love the secrets of the key theme. This is exactly what people need to be able to pick out the chords in a song, compose simple songs and melodies, and increase their chord vocabulary. Thanks so much!!!
Not sure if you hadn't ever summed it up this concisely or if it just never landed as well with me, but holy hell is that useful! Thank you, Sean! Subscribing to your Spotify in gratitude!
Whoa, that was super fun! Using droning tones across chords always appeals to my ear for some reason. The simple re-tuning of the high E to D is a trick I'd not heard before, but which makes perfect sense. Thank you! Sounds so cool on my big Fender Laguna acoustic 🥰
Sean, enjoy your video lessons. Have been watching you for a while. My son sold me on Elixir strings a looong time ago. I use them on my electric and acoustic guitars. They are pricey, but, these strings last a looong time, well worth the money.
^^ Agreed, and sometimes one needs a laugh just as much as a lesson! Finally, I have to know, was that an intentional guitar pun with... "Get some elixir strings and BEND to the will of the people."
So many nuggets. I always flub the Bm chord, even though I’m great at barre chords, because the transition from an open chord is difficult. Also, I am loving the D tuning trick on the first string!
Often imitated but never duplicated, can you do a video of percussive double stops pulling off to open strings and everything ringing out. I met a cool dude and went to watch him play. When he did his hammer pull offs, 30 of his friends in attendance all burst out in applause. I'm guessing he did it in D or G and I believe he moved around on the neck as well. Pull offs to open strings are vato cool and you are the perfect person to lead the world and shape the future of humanity with baller jack guitar jam outs.
Nice lesson as usual you exhibit technical expertise that is delivered in common sense matter that isn't a dumb down instead a more sophisticated flexible way of creating music. Thanks!
You could also call this the Noel Gallagher’s key. You gave wonderwall as an exemple but 95% of his songs are played like that! That’s how you can get his tone. Great video!
@@seandaniel23 Actually fingerpickers, blues, folk and country artists have been using these chord shapes and scales since before Gallaher's parents met.......lol. Thanks for sharing though.
Beautiful lesson, Good Sir 👏. I long to make a fake salty comment…your responses to those are hilarious. Definitely not appropriate, here for sure…this lesson was packed with essentials that, anyone learning, will certainly use, over and over. Definitely, “the people’s” lesson.
I’ll have to take your word on that one antman But for real you make the shit kinda make since. Are at least you don’t make me feel as retarded as I usually do. Appreciate that
Thanks Sean, I already suspected a long time a go that there must be a way to play guitar in simpler way. As far your strum is with good tempo and good bass, then the songs should come alright. However, Sean if you can pick a song and show the difference between the traditional way (the hard way) with this simpler way. How that sounds. Take "Wild Horses" by Rolling Stones that covers all the chords that you mentioned. Cheers from Indonesia.
You said sussy, it sounded dirty. I nearly unfollowed until I realized the importance to the peoples key. The people said it not you. Our music! Btw, Awesome lesson. One of my favorites.
Hey Shawn, putting that triad of G Major at the top of all the chords is really another type of "drone" y'know. Of course, it's not your invention, though. It's the People's invention! Maybe if ya could develop some better technique with your picking hand, those chords might sound better, not just a cacophony. But keep working at it, it might have some promise. Also with playing some melody over the chords, using that pentatonic scale, that could sound good, ya just need to work at it a bit. Don't be lazy, & don't be afraid, dude, you can do it!
I didn't like this one. We have joints in our fingers to move them. Locking one down on the B string? Hell no! Playing an a minor that sounds like kicking a cat in the face because we are too lazy/dumb/untalented to move our fingers? Here's a tip: If it's too hard, practice more often but keep that finger off the B string for fuck's sake. Oh, and another one: Don't play the b minor like you have cerebral palsy. Barre chords are not that difficult. And if they are: practice more. There are no shortcuts.
Wow, Dan. You seem triggered. Maybe use these techniques while you are also mastering the things you've listed. Room for both. Especially for beginners, this moves them forward...
I presume, when you talk about "the people's key" you're referring to some kind of person-in-the-street thing. But what about those other people? The one's who have yachts and estates in the Hamptons? What kind of key would Jeff Bezos be playing in? Stop being such an elitist!
Sean, your output is phenomenal in both quantity and in quality. Much appreciated.
I love these different chord voicings as it were. Keep em coming Sir Sean!!!!
Sean, have started watching your BRILLIANT lessons just this year (have been playing a looong time). Thanks man! You’ve changed my life.
Happy to help Brett!
Wish I would have watched this when I first started playing. Really easy to use info and it gets you playing right away. Also teaches you basic theory. Good stuff, Sean!
Thanks for sharing the secrets in the people’s key. Another great lesson!!
:)
Great lesson. Helps me to really open my aperture on tunings and changing standard open chords into something more interesting. Thanks!!

For all the years I've tuned in, this has to be one of your best yet. Very useful.
Awesome information... and explained so well!... Thank you 😊
happy to help!
Thank you Shaun a really brilliant insight into how a simple tweak can make a world of difference to the sound
LOve this! Great sound doing it this way and really appreciate you presenting it!! Thank you!
Loved this one. Videos like these keep stacking and reinforcing the idea that I can play guitar ❤️🙌
Some excellent teachers on TH-cam and you are one of the best in my opinion.
Thanks so much!
Sean

Very cool! Say hi to Ian for me!

You just rocked my world with that awesome Bm11 sub for the full Bm barre chord!
Minor11 chords for the win!
As a relatively new songwriter, the secrets in the key are some of my favorite lessons you do. So helpful! Thank you for all the awesome content!

always informative and always entertaining, love your lessons , have learned a lot. Thank you sir
Good stuff, Sean. Dig your openings as always.
Some of them are actually true though
^^ Agreed, and sometimes one needs a laugh just as much as a lesson! Finally, I have to know, was that an intentional guitar pun with... "Get some elixir strings and BEND to the will of the people."
Love your work here. Very accessible theory and a lot of fun.
Thanks Stuart!
I’ve learned alot from you. I really appreciate it. Also you’re funny as hell dude, please don’t ever stop!
Ok. This was rock solid good stuff. In a humorous wrapper. Sean strikes.
More on G and D! Amazing Sean!
Thanks so much! Comin soon!
Great lesson. Thanks. All in on Elixir's.
They're the best!
Hey Sean Nice Lesson, really Appreciate it.
Fun video!!
Can u maybe make a video on how to transpose chords. The way u explain stuff is excellent
Sean Thanks I cant believe i didnt think of the C with G in the base
So many nuggets. I always flub the Bm chord, even though I’m great at barre chords, because the transition from an open chord is difficult. Also, I am loving the D tuning trick on the first string!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Man this is how this open chord stuff should be taught!
Good lesson here at 7:15. How to transpose keys with a capo using the same chord shapes. I find it confusing for some odd reason. Thanks

I'll do my best!
What a lesson! Too good
Some useful/nice additions to me - thanks

thanks so much! I appreciate you saying so!
thank you man, I watch most your video👍
“Make it sussy “ love it!
Great video!
Great content. Show us a bit of Austin, please. Maybe some busking?
Busker chords. Love them.
Awesome lesson Sean.
Thanks for watching!
got lost 3/4 into the clip but you did explain why I saw some weird chord shapes in certain songs. thanks.
Thanks for sharing. Your Great
You could also call this the Noel Gallagher’s key. You gave wonderwall as an exemple but 95% of his songs are played like that! That’s how you can get his tone. Great video!
Noel is the best
@@seandaniel23 Actually fingerpickers, blues, folk and country artists have been using these chord shapes and scales since before Gallaher's parents met.......lol. Thanks for sharing though.
I love some like this thanks so much
Good show! Have a great weekend!
Wizard Sean!

As the British “people” would say, brilliant! Thanks for posting
Good stuff
Just found this channel the other day. Who knew Paul Rudd was the best guitar teacher on TH-cam
People's Sexiest Guitar Teacher Alive
I’ll have to take your word on that one antman
But for real you make the shit kinda make since. Are at least you don’t make me feel as retarded as I usually do. Appreciate that
Nice!
Great video man .. I seriously owe u money for this 🤜
Happy to help!
G(ee) Thanks for peeling back the curtain!
ayyyy!

What gauge Elixir strings do you use? Thanks
WOW! 👍🏾👍🏼
Making sussies 🤔 some of that Austin inspiration? Cheers Sean!
just feelin kinda sussy
@@seandaniel23 Texas vegan food will do that to ya!
I wish I had met you 40 years ago
lol I always use G to be sure I'm tuned, if I'm tuning by ear
That stuff you're playing at the end would be even easier in double drop D
Basically every Ryan Adams song, but with a capo on the 3rd fret. Not putting down Ryan because he is phenomenally talented singer and songwriter.
My man said “Those are the 7 chords of the people”
The beans are indeed sweet.
The peeps like G.
You said sussy, it sounded dirty. I nearly unfollowed until I realized the importance to the peoples key. The people said it not you. Our music! Btw, Awesome lesson. One of my favorites.
Lol at the Spotify joke
Is C add 9 The Peoples C?
G is also known as "Gods" key!
D, would be the "devils".😁🤪
The beatles were known for this.

Dude my gf is my only Spotify follower, so count your blessings! 😂
You've got a keeper

I give up your right g is peoples key
He's been converted!

Nahh you know the people's key is c it has no sharps or flats in it
Thanks so much! I'll keep em coming

Bezos also plays in G
@@seandaniel23 Cheap bastard! Him, not you. You're just a bourgeois lackey. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNIT! I mean UNITE!
thanks for the commie chords ya pinko :D
Great lesson Sean.
Happy to help!
