Thanks Steve! Really motivating... I was doing the same thing but with a single string. Never thought of moving chords across fret board. You really are amazing. This will really help me find my taste, and now I possibilities apart from those riffs!! Although, I am not a good player! :( .. :) I want to be a very good player.. not for anyone else but for my satisfaction, want to spend quality time by myself. Thanks a ton!
I tried this on my electric guitar and I think the problem is my tune it's on since It's on this acoustic type of sound setting and I'm struggling to fix it, but this was a great video and it helped a lot so thank you!

Remember, on a guitar, one fret = one half step. And two frets = one full step (or whole step). So, there are two places in the chromatic scale where you only move up a half-step between letters. - the distance from B to C is a half-step, and - the distance from E to F is a half-step. There's not a "B sharp" or an "E sharp," so you only move up one fret when you go from B to C or from E to F. And one fret = one half step. Hope this helps! -- GuitarZoom Staff

Hi I now strat playing guitar ur lessons have been a blessing to me
Hi. Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. Really glad the lesson are helpful. Feel free to ask any questions if you need to. All the best!
I did this with the D minor , it can really make a better sounding E minor on the bottom 3 strings in the 3,4 x 5th fret combo
I tried this on my electric guitar and I think the problem is my tune it's on since It's on this acoustic type of sound setting and I'm struggling to fix it, but this was a great video and it helped a lot so thank you!
Very interesting and useful, would be great to know the chord names it gives you
Pretty good one!

Dig it
Although you are using the same shape it does change to a different chord as you move it up and down the neck. Right?
Do u use the same rule as chord progressions to keep them in key ?
👍

Hey Steve. I follow your lessons always. Would you please show me the note for 'I surrender all" for Fingerstyle.
How do I know the names of these open chords?
The note at the root
it moves up a letter every full step. D becomes ,e f ,g , a,... C becomes not necessarily D E F ,its complicated for some
Remember, on a guitar, one fret = one half step. And two frets = one full step (or whole step).
So, there are two places in the chromatic scale where you only move up a half-step between letters.
- the distance from B to C is a half-step, and
- the distance from E to F is a half-step.
There's not a "B sharp" or an "E sharp," so you only move up one fret when you go from B to C or from E to F.
And one fret = one half step.
Hope this helps!
-- GuitarZoom Staff
Worth mentioning that it's not the same note when you move it around
