Open C is so bad on my small hands. What is getting me is I make the shape of a chord with my eyes closed, but I have to look at the neck or they end up on the wrong strings, or even frets. This laying all the fingers down at the same time I can't do even after over a year. Next chord I have to move my hand into position with is G. The high two strings and how my hand is made is why. Still working on it, but doubt I will ever get to playing a song. btw, some songs the Dsus4, or Cadd9 just don't work such as Johnny Cash's Hurt.
@@saoirsefitzpatrick1123 sure. In gospel music the 7chord is almost always substituted by a 5chord with 7as the bass. For ex, in the key of c, instead of bdf, you would play bdg, which is the 5chord with 7th note bass. this would be used to get to a 6. thanx so much for your time and help.
@@Grapho137 apologies for taking so long, it's just taken me a bit to figure out what you mean. in Cmaj, the 7th chord is the B diminished (BDF), which you say is usually substituted for the fifth chord (in this case Gmaj) with the B in the bass (which would be the 1st inversion). so in theory there are a bunch of ways to voice it, one would be to take the G chord in this video (320033 - the numbers refer to the frets, 0s are open strings, xs are unplayed/muted strings) and take the lowest note out, giving us x20033 (xBDGDg). This gives a chord that sounds a lot like a G major chord usually does. This could be called G/B, or G over B. This can also be played as xx9787 (xxBDGb) Another way of voicing it could be using this: x25432 (xBDBGf#). This is technically a GM7/B, but i think it sounds nice. It has a sound more similar to a Bm chord (as it's really just a Bm with a sharp fifth) but i think it's also nice. The first voicing can be altered to be x20032 to give technically the same chord (GM7/B) but a more open voicing.
This is very helpful. Thank you Tomas

Very nice tutorial 🎸
Thanks Udayan.
Great video, thank you sir!
Glad you liked it Aleksei!
Nice informative video. Thanks.
Cool hat. Where’d you get it?
Thank you so much for this, I have to learn the guitar for school and the only struggle I have is switching chords
Happy to help!
Is that G similar to the G which we have learned from other videos?
Good lesson! What model Yamaha and strings are you using? Great sound?
I use D'Addario EJ16 strings.

Thanks for commenting. I'd use what I call a folk style C for traditional country or folk songs.
@@TomasMichaud I have never heard that term before for C. Heard of rock G being four fingers versus three, but never a folk/country C.
It’s hard to see C add 9 strum. Is low E muted?
What are the chances.... I'm learning ring of fire!
Thts what I'm here for
I like your modified C, coz I am finding it very difficult to move from D to C
Glad I could help, David.
I hate to be honest, this is better to learn how to change chords than Andy Guitar 🎸.
Thanks Antonio.
HOW MANY POSITIONS DOES D CHORD HAVE ?
You sound kind for some reason.
Thanks God :)
How do you play a 5 chord with a 7 bass?
a 5 chord with a 7 bass? could you expand on what you mean?
