As a singer/strummer it's nice to learn these different chord voicings for common chords. It really adds so much to the sound especially on acoustic when you let the open strings ring out. Great work again.
Very nice quick lesson. The high end hammer on/off on the C and the B sound great. The chord progression of Em, Bm7, C and the great D6/F# (my personal favorite) works so well in a zillion songs. Well done.
These are very cool. Just a little "flavor" here & there as you pointed out really does it. The C can sound new again depending what comes before and after in any style right? C7, C maj.7 have their own charm also. Your lessons and tips are very well done. Thanks!
3:33 I also like to add F# on the high E string on that one. If you use this same chord position and add G on both of the E strings, it makes a very voice-y G2. 4:10 I have never liked the traditional C major. That third over the root sounds too clunky to me. I like to play G-C-mute-G-C-E. It's kind of awkward to recondition yourself to place your fingers for this voicing if you are used to the old fashioned one, but it definitely sounds more open and less campfire-y. C also sounds awesome when played as a fifth: G-C-mute-G-D-G. Same thing with G major: I play G-mute-D-G-B-G, or play D instead of B if you want to make it a fifth chord. These two fifth chord voicings are particularly effective on electric guitar where standard C and G chords just sound too messy (in my opinion). 4:48 Don't think I have ever used this one before! Maybe as a passing chord when walking up from E to A? 🤔 Thanks for the tip 👍
I like the inversion, I have used, without thinking, it but didnt know its actual construction, I sometimes use the key of Bm in signwriting, as it works well for many male and female voices, be interested in other interesting shapes in that key.
It is a Alhambra Guitarras Classical. The model is their; Z-Nature CW EZ Electro-Classical... www.stars-music.com/alhambra-z-nature-cw-natural-satin_137804.html
Hi! I'm looking into buying a classical guitar. Could you please tell me which model you're using? Since you're using it for your videos, I'm sure you're very pleased with it. Thanks and all the best! :)
Just found your channel; great content. This is a great progression; thanks! I think you are playing an Alahambra? If so, which model? I have been looking at the 5PCW E8.
A lot of guitarists in the more raw or experimental punk and indie areas will just use an "alternate tuning" aka "idk what this tuning is but I made it easier to play this one song/chord by tuning this one string down and this one up" and the song sounds difficult but it's actually just some basic shapes in a straightforward pattern
dear secret story teller around Bm & Em, i'm an old guitarist having guitar 4 more than 35 yrs ! meanwhile i am not native English so, most of times i need automatic English subtitle of videos in RUclips, but yours is disable! with many thanks in advance, please make sure to enable mentioned feature in yor videos. Thank You,
Hello, thank you for watching. The RUclips "Sub-titles" feature is not something that we (as creators), have much control over. Either RUclips automatically adds the sub-titles (done through RUclips A.I.), or the "CC" doesn't appear. Unfortunately we cannot easily do anything much about it.
As a guitar teacher, I’ve found that thirds make weak bases. Yes it is an inversion - just not a very useful one. Strong bases are first and fifth notes.
chords don't you just love them and there's a myriad possible ways to sound them articulate them as you wish and all the possibilities in every tune knowing rules is the real knowing. just go look at Jimmy Bruno for the real deal. he brilliant and unshaven a real master teacher perfectly nasty every little bit is a lesson.
Not "wish I knew this sooner", but "wish I had known", otherwise it makes no sense in time. RUclips titling places you in a position of speaking to a large audience, so it is important to use formal, as opposed to dialect English. A message from another Toober.
I remember Randy Rhodes use that Em chord, I think in Crazy Train. But, I'm going to use it in my own stuff. Great lesson. The Patreon handout was really good to have. You make great content.

It's nice to have short lessons that focus on usable content that you can quickly absorb
Yes

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
There’s a book called How To Write Songs On Guitar that has a bunch of voicings like these.
Very nice quick lesson. The high end hammer on/off on the C and the B sound great. The chord progression of Em, Bm7, C and the great D6/F# (my personal favorite) works so well in a zillion songs. Well done.
beautiful voicing....especially the em.....thanks for sharing
Very nice! Beautiful voicings on that progression. Thanks for helping us out! Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words comment!
Excellent fingering for a Bm7. Been playing for 50+ years and have found a new variation. Thanks CGS!
Thank you so much, a lot of your content has improved my expression and creativity on the bass - that's huge, to me !
Thanks
Thanks very much for this concise lesson. Nice to discover these voicings.

Love It Andrew! Sounds great! Love "Broken " chords! Thank you for the Lesson!
Fretting an F# instead of a G in the Em chord sounds really nice. 074000, bottom to top. It adds a 9th to the mix.
Nice combination of chords!! Thanks for sharing!!
Perfect clear simple lesson. Beautifully sequenced!
What a lesson mate, perfect presentation and thanks so much its perfect for my experience level.
Thanks I have a screwed up finger so I’m always looking for chords like that ‘Em. Also different chord progressions.
What a lovely tone on that guitar. The last time I heard one like that was a Bros guitar which was handmade in Spain.
very kind of you to show us. Thank You. Appreciated
More and more interesting and wonderful lessons every day 🥰
About your classical acoustic, would you care to comment on: the brand, scale length and nut width? Thank you in advance. 🙂
It is a Alhambra Guitarras Classical. The model is their; Z-Nature CW EZ Electro-Classical...

SRV - Riviera Paradise - uses that Em voicing - beautiful
Hi! I'm looking into buying a classical guitar. Could you please tell me which model you're using? Since you're using it for your videos, I'm sure you're very pleased with it. Thanks and all the best! :)
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks again for another instruction. Such a good talent. Your a certified gunslinger
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
Just found your channel; great content.
This is a great progression; thanks!
I think you are playing an Alahambra? If so, which model?
I have been looking at the 5PCW E8.
Well that was cool. I had my guitar behind me when I came across this video, so I picked it up and shazam beautiful sounds,,,,Thank you
Me too it was like wow
Wonderful. That’s all. Simply wonderful.
This chord pattern reminded me of CSN song “Just a song before I go”. Very nice.
Totally agree
What guitar are you playing?
Why not finger the second fret of the first string when making the b minor 7 chord?
Just found your YT Channel. I like it. Can I ask who made your guitar?
Awesome lesson cool sounds
D6F# is one of the 2 chords on a Horse with no name. 😊
RUclips algorithms know that I just have been playing the D6 F sharp on horse with no name about an hour ago..😂
I'd like to see the same type lesson for "Gimme Three Steps"!
That 6th string bass sounds nice, like a F# air resonance or some such thing.
Beautiful! Thank you.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
I have not watched the video yet but I like your guitar. What is it, if you don’t mind?
Alhambra
Very nice! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Forgive my correction, Andrew. At 2:58 "Perfect fifth D note on second string open" should be B note. Great lessons
Ya heard me wrong, I did most certainly did say, "Perfect fifth B note" (I did not say, "D"). - Andrew
It has to be my hearing, I'm afraid. Please accept my apologies.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Thanks!! Very Cool
Good stuff. What strings and gauge are you using?
I only use D'Addario Strings. These ones are the; HARD TENSION Rectified Nylon Trebles Classical Guitar Strings (Model: EJ31).
I hearing a few songs in there,, particularly moby
Shallow with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga for instance.
A lot of guitarists in the more raw or experimental punk and indie areas will just use an "alternate tuning" aka "idk what this tuning is but I made it easier to play this one song/chord by tuning this one string down and this one up" and the song sounds difficult but it's actually just some basic shapes in a straightforward pattern
Thank you so much!!!
Very good.
Just a suggestion: Might help a lot especially for beginners if you use a guitar with the dots clearly seen.
Suggestion: the word you’re looking for is “especially”
dear secret story teller around Bm & Em, i'm an old guitarist having guitar 4 more than 35 yrs !
meanwhile i am not native English so, most of times i need automatic English subtitle of videos in RUclips, but yours is disable! with many thanks in advance, please make sure to enable mentioned feature in yor videos.
Thank You,

I really like this how could I not Know chords like these I was taught the quicker and easier way which is wrong
As a guitar teacher, I’ve found that thirds make weak bases. Yes it is an inversion - just not a very useful one. Strong bases are first and fifth notes.
That's a tasty little piece. Thanks.
mmmmm, i've played these delicious chords for years, soooo goood ❤❤
it almost sounds like alex lifeson of rush used those type of chords. awesome sound.
Almost?
You remind me of Sen Connery in A man who would be king.
Hey, that's my shirt!!!! Lol
Maybe a short
Nice
chords don't you just love them and there's a myriad possible ways to sound them
articulate them as you wish and all the possibilities in every tune knowing rules is
the real knowing. just go look at Jimmy Bruno for the real deal.

had I known
Haha...so secret that ALL guitarists know them.
Just play the Am and Em with the rest of your fingers while your 1st finger makes a barré in 7th position.
Gee that’s helpful, thanks! 😅
I remember Randy Rhodes use that Em chord, I think in Crazy Train. But, I'm going to use it in my own stuff. Great lesson. The Patreon handout was really good to have. You make great content.
Cool, thanks! Believe that you are correct with Crazy Train!
Thank you so much ❤
