Videos like these with shortcuts are invaluable for those of us coming from other instruments with a solid music background (jazz degree, sax)- easy way to sound competent very quickly- not to mention get more enjoyment right away.
Everytime I think i know most of the shapes, BOOM sensei drops the secret to the 777 chords! Have you considered making a video on 9th and 13th chords I don't really understand them
Sean, you are a great! Even when I think I know the topic well, you explain it better, simpler.. which means, new ways to play better. On to check out the Yamaha guitar from sweetwater.
yep -that just opened up a whole lotta new stuff for me that I just really never thought of looking at chord charts or playing along with others in a key. Epiphany !!! Thank You Sean !!!
Great video lesson Sean! It will take a couple of "rewinds " but the content is so good. Thanks for bringing in some theory without it being overwhelming .
I have a little different way of skinning the cat. If you know your triad shapes really well, use those familiar shapes. The seventh chords are always based on the third note of the key that you’re in. So for C major seven, it’s an E minor triad. Skip two more notes and C9, use a G major triad, and so on. Works well for me because the triad shapes are a great way to navigate the neck. Thanks for the lesson!
Just curious could you play the same chords but with the root note on the A string and move to G B strings just so you could use a chord closer to where you may be playing something on the fretboard.
I just did a long lesson, a series actually on 7th chords root 6,5 and 4. My fretting stinks and my arthritis is killing me lol. These are great and the other thing that kills me is having to be shown? Shoulda known this. Thx!
Hey Sean I'm confused as of what your playing at 13:15. You said "minor 5" are you switching to from D dominate 7 to D minor? Doesn't that include an F? or are you just playing a note that is out of the scale? Thanks!
This is not a bad introduction to shell voicings and I guess it’s geared towards very beginner players but it’s not economical at all to be going so drastically up and down the fretboard for your chord changes. Very important to learn these chords with roots on the A string too for this to be more practical for most players and they’re not that hard at all!
Mind blown. My 6 string high E string is broken (because I don't use Elixir strings) So out came the 12 string. These sound great on the 12 string and I can mostly manage them. Thank you!
So ah....how many of those who produced youtube quitting videos because of the "trend" have now actually quit? Remarkable how you generate the sarcasm between snippets of teaching points.
I been hearing that a lot lately. I never knew G was “the people’s chord “. I still don’t know why. I do understand why C is a common key for teaching.
Sean, you said this is good for playing with other players or singers and said you would get back to that, but didn’t. (Not judging, just a point of clarification) I understand that with another player, it’s another voicing to avoid simple repetition of a sound. Is it the same reasoning for playing along to a singer?
Y do people make teaching videos not showing the fret board up close? People r not clicking on these type of videos to memorize peoples faces. They click on here cause they’re trying to learn something…just saying 😣
I totally agree. Thankfully RUclips allows you to slow it down, and you can pause and repeat. But he definitely speaks too fast and I struggle a bit. 😅

Great Video Sean - Great way to memorise the root notes as well
Thanks so much!

So glad it's coming across well!
Wow! This is a great lesson.
Thanks so much!
Great stuff I only recently learnt enough theory to make this understandable so it makes sense and not confusing me.
Great lesson and beautiful guitar!
Thanks so much!
Thanks Sean! Will def use your code for Sweetwater orders
I appreciate it!

I've been doing private guitar lessons for 2 years and I can finally understand what you say. 😂😂😂 great content, love it. ❤
Happy to help!
This'll be several watches.
Making stuff easy is sometimes strangely time consuming
strum stuff is 👍
Mahalo
Thanks for watching!
Really nice specs on that Yamaha on sweetwater. I’ll bet the mic models are nice and can’t wait to try one.
Your best lesson yet!
Great video Sean! TY
Thanks for watching!
Perfect thank you
You're welcome!
Beautify simple lesson,,, thank you, thank you, thank you 🍺🍺
Very nice, do you have something like this for the other notes?
Just curious could you play the same chords but with the root note on the A string and move to G B strings just so you could use a chord closer to where you may be playing something on the fretboard.
Super Sean!
great lesson
I don't know if that guitar is plugged in or not but it sounds really mellow. Thanks for what you do and share. Be well.
Thanks! It's just the aacoustic sound in this vid :)

Nice I have a Yamaha apx500 they're good guitars.
Thanks Sean, I'm like that other comment, still like to see your perspective on other KEYS.
Mind blown. My 6 string high E string is broken (because I don't use Elixir strings) So out came the 12 string. These sound great on the 12 string and I can mostly manage them. Thank you!

Oh no that was sponsored 😮 how can I trust any of this theory 😂
I have a older A3M. They excel when plugged in.
If G is the people’s key, and C is perhaps the teacher’s key, I still need your perspective on the rest of the keys 😊
Eb - The Key Less Traveled By
I think there is a Spinal Tap reference here but it's chord specific. Dm.
That's beautiful. What's it called?
Lick my love pump.
I been hearing that a lot lately. I never knew G was “the people’s chord “. I still don’t know why. I do understand why C is a common key for teaching.
Thank you for the secret of making 7th chords easy lesson.
Does this work for left handlers as well?😂
I do the same on the higher strings.
Very tool intro esque
A diagram of the chord would make it so much easier for rookies like me.
Love Yamaha acoustics, I own one. Ya know, everybody's talkin bout the seventh son.😂
I got that yamaha A1M for over a year already, its a keeper guitar
APX-4A is. the model of mine. Had it for about 5 years now.@@venturaVlogger
omg do a why I’m quitting RUclips video! You could make it about down down up up down up…
Sean, you said this is good for playing with other players or singers and said you would get back to that, but didn’t. (Not judging, just a point of clarification) I understand that with another player, it’s another voicing to avoid simple repetition of a sound. Is it the same reasoning for playing along to a singer?
You seem to keep hanging on to that Yamaha..... do you play and scratch your head?
Cheers
More of a jazz sound. It’s common to drop the 5 with jazz chords.
Y do people make teaching videos not showing the fret board up close? People r not clicking on these type of videos to memorize peoples faces. They click on here cause they’re trying to learn something…just saying 😣
He knows his stuff, but speaks too fast and needs to slow down.
I totally agree. Thankfully RUclips allows you to slow it down, and you can pause and repeat. But he definitely speaks too fast and I struggle a bit. 😅
Slow him down to .075. He sounds like he’s inebriated but is much easier to follow
This, I'm told, is the correct way to watch.
