I have watched countless hours of guitar videos on RUclips and you are by far the best instructor I have seen. I love the way that you start simple and keep digging deeper into the subject. Keep up the great work!
This is some of the best material on RUclips. Brilliant guidance and direction which is easy to follow. Keep up the good work as it's very much appreciated.
I agree 💯 percent an he gets right to the point very quickly an doesn’t drag you around. I like the way he plays it his way then breaks it down for everyone to understand it
Seriously great channel. You are making me a rock star and I love it. Quick question, I'm moving from strictly acoustic guitar and wanting to branch out into electric. I love Eric Clapton and want to get a stratocaster. Is it ok to get a Squire Classic Vibe or should I hold out for the next paycheck to get real Fender Strat?
If you love playing guitar, I think you should have a guitar you love. You can play that thing the rest of your life. If you can afford the real thing without breaking your budget or waiting too long, I'd recommend that.
I love this video where you show how to shrink the size of a bar chord into what appears to be triads. i am learning a lot from your videos. Craig Ewinger
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Hey again! Got a new suggestion for a lesson: 😋 I often see 6,9 and 13 chords thrown in a blues by some of the big names, adding a different color to the same sounds. I know how to construct them but not sure when to use them (*properly*) in a blues (or any other progression) . Cheers!
Really cool lesson! Heading over to the Major lesson now! There’s nothing better than finding a lesson that takes information on how to play something that we can pretty much incorporate in our playing right away… This is awesome! Thanks!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Hello, and thank you for your awesome lessons…was wondering if you could send a link here to the accompanying major Rhythm Chords lesson,I can’t seem to find it…?
@@dougsmith8430 Hi Doug, it might be this one you're thinking of, It has Major chords up and down the neck. I do plan on covering this in greater detail in the future. ruclips.net/video/zP88N8wzqMM/видео.html
Blue, this is the lesson… Thank you! This can help me not only with my playing by mixing major and minors through these cord shapes, but it is a Tremendous Way to accompany other players, and not step on them, thank you so much! I have subscribed and I look forward to any of your lessons, and I’m glad that you will be having more lessons pertaining to this subject! Thank you!
Man...there's just so much good I could say about this! 👏 The names for the shape/style of the chords is really pretty brilliant. As a guy learning via RUclips I can say that a lot of times I just see an ocean of monotonous dots when I look at chord diagrams, videos, etc. Thank you!
Sitting here in the land down under learning more every time Blue posts. And doing so with my Strat into a Katana 100 MKII sounding magic thanks to this man's generously provided fender deluxe reverb patch. Thanks again sir! And the SRV patches are great also. Subscribed a while ago and always liked.
Amazing content as always. If you also learn the pentatonic shapes starting on the 5th string the shape is very similar to the full shape with the exception of the note on the B string being 1/2 step higher(F instead of an E). So you can play that shape over the Dm. It has most Am notes in it as well. And that note (F) is also in the A aeolian scale so it’s still diatonic to Am. And then the extension of that scale is the fourth shape, which is the tail end of the pentatonic run you did a few days ago. The triangle shape is an inversion chord. Perhaps a lesson on where the inversions and shapes are would be super helpful. That’s the one I’d love to see. Inversions sound so cool especially in context of a song because they imply other tones while still being the chord tone. Wish you were on YT much earlier!!
Hey Blue, only a few minutes in, but i can't help but notice that the chord you're calling an Am is also a G7! At least i think it is, i don't have my guitar handy right now, so i can't compare the sound - just looking at the landmarks.... Isn't it interesting how there are chords inside other chords sometimes?!
Hi Jeff, there definitely are ambiguous chord shapes on guitar. I don't know about Am also fitting a G7, but for example, Am7 is easily a C chord. You can always spell them out to check: Am7 is A C E G and C major is C E G. Even better C6 is C E G A. Same notes as Am7, different order 😀
Nicely done once again. Received the soloing book as well. Lots of good stuff in there for those who are interested. Keep at it. I always watch the video and say to myself I got this and go and bastardize it !! Practise makes perfect I’m hoping😊
Awesome video and a different prospective on triads. The "Stairway shape" is pictured to bar the 4 strings but I notice you just bar the top 3 strings; is it more comfortable that way? I feel playing the "Stairway shape" will set me up to also practice Hybrid picking and double stops because is also has that Jimmy vibe.
I recently found your lesson videos. Thank you for those informative lessons. In this lesson video, I think that the chord shape you mentioned as hard to find its position is actually a simple transpostion from open Dm chord, right?
nice one blue, greetings from England, really enjoying the lessons from you. so much so that I ordered your book yesterday, just waiting for it to arrive tommorow. Looking forward to getting going with it. Are you going to do a subscription service at some point with more content, I would defiantly sign up to that.
Thanks for watching! More info about my book "Guitar Soloing Like a Pro" can be found here: www.bluemorris.com/shop 🎸😀

Thanks Jon, I too can't imagine growing up with RUclips either. Just had books and in person lessons when I was young. But somehow it worked.

Thanks for another great video! I love when you combine rhythm and lead playing in your lessons 👍
Cool thanks for watching!
Eye opening! I can’t tell you how much I have learned from you in as little as 2 weeks. My guitar teachers weren’t great. You are my go to!
Awesome thanks again!!!
Best teacher on the planet
Thanks Kevin!
I love this video where you show how to shrink the size of a bar chord into what appears to be triads. i am learning a lot from your videos. Craig Ewinger
Thank you Craig!
Very cool! Re the “triangle” shape, the root notes of the common D shape are a good way to figure this all the way up the neck.
Good point,, that's also a good way to find it, thanks for the comment!
Memorization by association! It works! I like you’re little memory tricks! ❤
That's the way that works for me 😀
Very cool Love your simplicity you add to things.
Thanks Joe!!
Awesome as always! Hopefully we will see a lesson combining both videos! Popular progressions maybe?
Good idea, I'll make a note to combine major and minor. Thanks!
This practice helps me get over some humps. Thanks!
Great thanks Edward!
Another good lesson, thanks man!
Waiting for the blues turnarounds lesson till then dropping this comment and hitting that upvote :)
Turnound video has been made, coming soon
... I filmed it last week, just need to edit it. 😎
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Yay! 🥳🥳
Looking forward to it!
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Hey again!
Got a new suggestion for a lesson: 😋
I often see 6,9 and 13 chords thrown in a blues by some of the big names, adding a different color to the same sounds. I know how to construct them but not sure when to use them (*properly*) in a blues (or any other progression) . Cheers!
Sounds good! I'll put it on the list. Turnarounds should be coming this Saturday. Thanks again for the suggestions.
I find that using the pinky as the reference for the "triangle" shape E (as well as others up the fretboard) to be easiest. Nice lesson.
That's how I see it, too. Root on the B string.
Great lesson
Cool thanks for watching 😎

Nice one...thanks Blue.
Thanks RB!!
Thanks Blue, I'm going to try using the "triangle" shape more often... i keep forgetting about it.
I really like the way you teach. thanks!
Thanks Groov, new lesson every Saturday!
Great lessons thanks you 😊
Thanks Keovong! New lesson every Saturday

Blue, once again, very well thought out, useful lesson. Please keep it coming!
Cool thanks Rhett!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I have a bunch of concepts and brilliant ideas to work on thanks to your channel, rock'em all!
Rock on!
Great lesson! Thank you.
Thanks for watching Marc!
I've just discovered your videos. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you. How far is Vancouver from New Jersey USA? LOL!
Haha thanks Michael, that's a bit of a commute 😄

clearly explained as always mate, love your lessons 🤟😎🎸
Thanks Edward!

I feel playing the "Stairway shape" will set me up to also practice Hybrid picking and double stops because is also has that Jimmy vibe.
Thanks Bruno! You can bar 4 or 3 stings on that. Not sure why I only hold 3 to be honest. Must just habit 😀
Ireally enjoyed your approach. Great lesson. Major chords next :-)
Thanks! Already made one for major chord shapes, it's here: ruclips.net/video/zP88N8wzqMM/видео.html
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
Really practical ideas. Your soloing book is excellent. Any plans for the next one?
Thanks! Hopefully I will have time this year to write book 2. It's just a lack of time that keeps me from doing it at this point
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will just have to get your rhythm guitar book while waiting for the next lead one!
Awesome lesson...
Thanks Guy! 😃
Thanks.. This is very usefull..

I kept thinking he will play Hotel California 😅
I wanted to, for sure 😀
Interesting
👍🎸
😂...superb..
Combine them with power chords as well.
Sure, power chords always good
Diagonal line? I'd call it incline ramp.
Haha nice! That works too.
I call it the Dire Straits D minor.
Ahhh good name for it!
That cleared some stuff for me.😀 appreciate it
Glad to hear it! Thanks Steve
Great lesson, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Double Taper! New video every Saturday
