If you want a brand new way to use chords in a key - a way that is totally unique - then you’ve come to the right place. In this lesson, I’m going to give you a method to start building a more defined sound.
It’s a sound that you’ll be able to use right away to start sculpting richer musical directions from key signatures. And, it’s easy enough that any guitarist (regardless of skill level) can apply it immediately.
A common issue for guitarists new to song-writing is they often get “stuck in a rut” using the same chords all the time. When writing music, this can have a new piece apply harmonies which sound highly similar to past compositions.
This “lack of chord options” in song-writing happens often and one thing you can do is address the issue is learn how to substitute chords from the key under new root notes. Simply perform diatonic triads under a new root in the key.
This method reveals inversions of chords, as well as, brand new chords which offer sounds different from diatonic chords you may be presently using.
Many song-writers suffer from an issue of using too many of the “same chords” all the time and that is where I believe this idea can have the most positive impact.

Been playing guitar for 50 years and I found out ,you learn something new every day. Thanks for the great lessons.
Thanks!
We need more like this around the UK, lovely to see the WHOLE community out,enjoying the atmosphere and joining in with such a beautiful song.
🇬🇧🇬🇧
YOU have the UK one of the most talented players right here on Ytube in John Nathan Cordy, he is phenomenal, has such great musical sensibilities/sensitivities. prefect example of these Subtle Chord Changes.
@@ksharpe10 lol
You have to LOVE a Stratocaster. So beautiful. I bought a STrat Plus back in 1988 brand new and have never loved another guitar more.
I’ve been trying to learn guitar for nearly a half a century with very little results. However with your clear and concise instruction my mind is opening up to these concepts.
Thanks for the inspiration,man. I think I’ll start playing more.Seems as though I’m a slow learner.
@@kyzor-sosay6087 Never give up!
Lol, thought I was the only one. Been a long time, learned some new concepts, can fumble around with some chords/scales here and there but would never call my self a guitarist or musician even after all this time. Don't seem to have this "block" in any thing else I've tried to learn, but learning guitar is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. Had a friend tell me "you have to have natural talent to play an instrument"...would like to prove him wrong.
But I drudge on...like learning new things and one thing I want to do before I leave this earth is learn how to play an instrument. Just seems like a cool thing to be able to do.
Same here
Yes. I agree you are best teacher. You combine theory with practicality making it simple. The results are fast good guitar training.
I was doing this the other day and I didn't even realize it, just randomly playing with triads and noticed it sounded amazing compared to everything I usually noodle and when I looked at exactly what I was doing, I noticed that the 3 triads I was playing, all had the same note on the B string, and then I started focusing on trying to do that more often and have come up with some MUCH better stuff then usual the past few days.
Great to find something truly new after so many other Guitar Tutorials, subscribed for sure
That's a cool lesson. I've been playing a lot longer than 7 years and I had not realized this. Doh!
At 4:45, I would more properly call that a Gmaj7 (sus 9) because of the presence of the F# note. Without the F#, then it would be a G (sus 2), but you could still call that a G (sus 9) since the A is more than an octave above the low G root.
Love your material you have a great demeanor are so easy to follow and create some really professional quality work
Fascinating lesson. Thanks!
I've honestly never heard of doing anything like this in my whole guitar playing life. At first, I wasn't clear on how this was supposed to be working, but then once I got the Patreon handout the ideas made a lot more sense to me. Your Patreon has been incredibly valuable, much MUCH more so than any other RUclipsr's whose Patreon I've signed up for. Thank you for all that you do Andrew, it looks like so much work, but I honestly believe that I speak for all of your fans when I say that you are incredibly valuable for top-notch lessons here online. You're one of the true blue "real deals" online when it comes to guitar lessons! Thank you 100x over for all that you do! 💙💙💙💙💙
Randy Rhodes did it in Crazy Train.
This is a totally real comment from a totally real person.
Hi
I like to take the bass note and move it chromatically while changing the chords diatonically and going different directions. Usually get tripped up figuring out the fingering, but its fun way to puzzle myself.
Don't feel bad it took me twenty and it's been worth every muint of it , some how it's the time it takes to be able to hear it in context to the whole . Until then keep rocking rock on👍
I clicked because that Gsus9 is the main chord for John Mayers Why Georgia, and I've had a hard time playing that dang song from day one. Awesome chord, you can always count on Mayer to use tough chords like that.
If someone's thinking about learning how to play guitar do it while you're young because when you're try to do it when you're old it's a struggle it's harder to get the muscle memory everything's harder so learn it early you'll learn it easy and you will retain-it
I agree that slash notation is more practical in this progression.
GM7 is clearly named and useful. The chord after it is confusingly misnamed, though. There is no 3rd, so it's not a Major chord, it's a 5 chord. There is no 9 carried over from the previous chord, so it's not a suspension. Perhaps G5M7 add 9 would be more accurate? Plain old slash notation works best here.
Aren't the 3 upper voices played above the bass, not below it?
Or just Gsus2maj7
Thanks for the lesson!
As a professional classical musician, native from a non british or ex british colony country, who is slowly self teaching blues and jazz on electric guitar, I need to do quite a brain gimnastic to understand how non classical musicians (guitarist to be specific) aproach armony. And this is super weird, cause the notes are the same, the armony is the same...my armony knowledge is pretty hig (I can analyze a Wagner partiture and compose some 4 voices easy things) but thinking at music without a pentagram, instead using a guitar tab, calling notes with alphabet letters instead of using their names, and most hard thing to digest is that everything has to be seing from left hand shapes prospective (wich is reasonable, since left hand can stretch that much) losing almost completly the concept of chirds "rivolti". Your videos are super well made, hopefully will help me with this difficulties and will allowd me to aproach music in this much different electric-guitar pov.
What a great concept! Thanks!
sounds great
So humbled ben play for 3 decades andd never knew this simple thing
I walked chirds wehen all i had to do was stay local annd put tge suitcase away unless I'm looking or a different sound with who im playing with Nnd super cool as moveable shapes
Andrew, I've noticed that most of the other RUclips guitar teachers will steal your ideas, your video titles, and your lessons in general. It reminds me of that Oscar Wilde proverb, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness”. The other 'popular' RUclips guitar teachers will only ever be mediocre compared to your level of instruction. Thanks for all that you do. Your Creative Guitar Studio website and your Patreon are incredible resources.
I've noticed that too, lot of the other RUclips guys steal his lesson titles and thumbnail styles (some word for word). Pretty sad, but Andrew's the OG, so I'm really not surprised.
I would say, "picked up" his ideas. Is that not the point in educating one another.
@@christopherlilley8762NO. Are you mad? If they acknowledge the source… then maybe. But you COMPLETELY LACK an understanding of why people exist - to serve and be served. Acquiring information about the universe HAS NO VALUE if the human is considered last. But the information is an invaluable addition if the human value is considered first. If there was no human to observe, what would be the point in knowing anything? How are people so blind?
@@TarzanHedgepethwhy never mad. I don't spend my time focused on negatively driven thought. Simply looking to add some positivity to an already too dark world. I appreciate every lesson I get and have yet to get the hang of. Not saying anyone is wrong. Sorry if that was your take on my comment.
Really? You noticed that they "WILL" steal his ideas? Wow, this guy knows the future 😂😂😂
I like the title of the video, amazing!
Very very beautiful opening Melody.. it deeply touches the Soul
Very Eric Johnson-esque! And that is high praise for any guitarist. 😁
I enjoy every bits of your lessons ,but I don't have a lead guitar 🎸,wish I could get one 😮?
why 3:11 G chord so different from normal G major ?
Harry Irene - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band from the Bat Chain Puller album.
Wow that opening is Devoid of the Stratocaster BARK sound. I am impressed. Must be your precise fingering, esp. after seeing you do the Spider fingering. Thanks to you I can do the Spider pretty well, but not quite that precise, even so it much improves ones playing, immensely. Those little changes with the G bass, the unfortunate part is the subtilties get lost in a mix with a band. I think of a song like "Til there was you" by the Beatles, George's Solo, the beautiful chord changes that today are lost in Mixes, due to overdrives, and what others are playing. Now SOLO guitar like Joe Pass, you can hear these. Thinking of Johnny Smith's Jazz albums, they were Beautiful, just seems so lost today. And along came Eric Johnson with his unique Piano technique and Spread Triads, in Rock/Fusion playing that is one of HIS huge contributions to it. I still regard him as the best more or less Stock Stratocaster player today.
Thank you for your video. Please enable the generated subtitles for it, it might be really useful for non-native speakers like me :)
I wasn't able to do that, RUclips removed that feature, so... instead I had to download an auto-generated file and then re-upload it. Bit of a chore, but regardless it's done. The subtitles are now showing.
Big smart tip
Why do I feel like this video was shot in the 90s? :)
Awesome content 👍🏼
At video position 501, the chord shown is Gmaj9 not Gsus 9 . Voicing 1,3, 7,2/9 -- 1, flat 7, 2, 4 equals sus 9 voicing.
At 5:00, low to high, it’s G(1), F#(7), A(2,9) and D(5) making it a Gsus2.
@@CoolSpuds These two points of view above demonstrate why keyboard players stick to slash chords!!
With a slash chord everyone who understands them"knows where they are'and In the real world these would be named as slash chords.Can you imagine calling out this lot but ignoring the bass note relavance.Many jazz progressions are thought of as "the basic chord"with a moving bassline by many pros.
@@nickg2431 thanks Nick, that’s a really good point.
I need a book in how to read and understand the lesson book 😢
As always this is a very good lesson. Thanks.
Witch! He is a witch!!
I am dumbfounded not only did this work, but it sounds great.
Great video as always, thank you!
I can't afford to pay for lessons or tips because there's too many guitars I still need to assimilate but I must say that Gsus9 is a magnificent chord Each note or combination of notes works well in any rotation . Thank you!!
too many guitars to assimilate (take in (information, ideas, or culture) and understand fully)? It almost sounds like you mean that there are so many guitars for you to "acquire" that you can't afford to learn how to play them... but you must have meant something else, right?
@@backcareplus9567 not sure if you're triggered but no I learn how to play everyday... I wouldnt mind paying a great teacher if I wasn't saving for a few guitars I've never got to play. .. Nothing expensive or special but just a handful of guitars I've always wanted. I am at a stage where lessons don't really help and I'm not sure why anyone would need a personal lessons these days anyway. We are swimming in an ocean of information and resources but structured lessons can shave off some time and energy I guess
Cant afford lessons or tips but hope your playing will sound better by "assimilating" 500-5k guitars right ok!
@@backcareplus9567 No Sir, actually I meant to say that in this day and age educations are objectively free.... guitars, well not so much lol
... I don't know what he just said, but I am improved. Thx u
Cool lesson. Thank you for posting it.
Hi Andrew, great lesson, on behalf of guitarists everywhere, thank you…
ps
??
Are you calling it a Gsus9 because of where the A is…
I ask because I would call it a Gmaj9
Hello Mark, The chord is a "Gsus9." This is due to the fact that the group of notes which make up the chord voicing played in my lesson plan are; "G, F#, A, D." The "G" is our "Root," "F#" is the "Major 7," the "A" is the "9" and the "D" is this chord's "Perfect 5th." There is no "Major 3rd" in this chord (no "B" note). So, it cannot be called a "Gmaj9." The missing "B" note is the "Suspension," and thus the specific reason behind calling the chord a "Sus" chord. Hope this helps.
Very interesting
Thanks
We as teachers should start referring to the 7th chord in a key as half diminished to avoid confusion in the future as student realize that diminished voicings will often add additional notes (like the double flat 7) that aren’t in the key.
Andrew could you share how you get that tone in the opening instrumental? What effects, etc? How can i get that sound?
thanks a lot
My guitar was out of its case before the end of the video. Cheers.
Me too! ....This lesson was the 💣
I don't understand where to Major chords and minor chords come from. I'm a beginner.
Thank you 🙏🍀👌🎼🎶🎵✌️🎸
What I'd like to know is what's the trick to remembering guitar stuff? because I know so much and I can't remember it. getting old sucks
Make your fingers remember it, not your mind!
If you have music inside you? You can play anything!❤
This lesson is gold. But please, please, don’t make people relearn these simple cord shapes into something very challenging. Just thumb over the base G. I know it’s not “correct “ but I’m this situation it’s a 2 second instant change.
It would take me more than a week to relearn all those new shapes. Especially the G/over D you have. And it’s an inversion of D.
Sorry to be picky. Video is actually very informative 👌
lol. You rascal...good one. Cheers!
The fret board isn’t the issue, but picking the correct strings consistently is what I have trouble.
I need guiter book

Excellent thanks for sharing your talent ❤👍🙏👏👏👏🎼🎵🎵🇲🇽
Hello how can I obtain a copy of that booklet Zephaniah Cameroon
Hello, thank you for your interest. You can get the eBook by making a donation of $5.00 USD (or more) through the secure "Donate Form" found on the Creative Guitar Studio website... creativeguitarstudio.com/donations
6:50 looking at the tablature section for the third chord isn’t it an Amaj9 or Amaj7sus2?
Yes, you are correct. It is an Amaj9 chord. The presenter of this video has misspoken.
Love it!
Jesus that Gsus is a cool chord. Haha
What school can I go to to teach guitar?
I went to the Musician's Institute in Hollywood, California... www.mi.edu/programs/music-artist/guitar/
Michael Schenker influenced
You seem to be very knowledgeable about playing guitars... by any chance do you know what happens to all my plectrums?, ive narrowed it down to gypsies or fairies..
2:00
I want. Release my own song
Im just a poor man on disability. But i get the general idea and can i do this same principle with other root. Notes
Where is the thing that took you “7 years to learn”?
🤣
@@mightyhammerheadHuh? What?
@@FlaschDJ it's funny.. where is the thing that took you 7 years... yeah, where is it...? (I agree with you, and it's funny...) get it...?
flat five in the bass???
that's just something that sometimes happens between a guitarist and a bass player without them thinking about it, is't it ???
EDIT: oh, chord substitution, gotcha.
Rio knows
Handouts collection needed. New Patreon member. Thanks
Hahaha! Great! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
I know A lot of chords and can play multiple styles but still feel blind .
