Its definitely worth learning the open D because it has such a bright sound, and you can switch really easily to D7, Dm, A, A7, Am or slide up to E flat
OMG lol Thought I was the only one to have done that ... I've been a professional entertainer for 40+ years and when spacing out NEVER stop playing, simply keep the rhythm going over some muted strings until I regain conciousness, you know it bro. But now you blew our cover *dramatic sniffle
So few guitar tip videos ever teach you anything worth while. This video gave me some amazing tips. Especially because their not basic tips. But legit intermediate to expert tips. This video was needed
Sean, have watched a boat load of you videos and absolutely love your stuff. I’m yet another 50+ returning guitarist after decades of setting the guitar to the side. Looking at it from time to time, I seldom picked it up and was always frustrated if I did. Your videos helped re energize my interest and I’m deep diving now with a passion I never had. I’ve actually broken through old limits and I’ve been buying guitars left and right like an idiot obsessed. Anyway, this video in particular hit home for me in terms of highly useful little “tricks” while also causing me to bust out laughing a few times. Keep up the excellent work!
Sean, that lesson was not only informative but HIGHLY entertaining as well! The "half-step shuffle" insight bordered on being sublime. No longer will I voice a D chord like a ukulele player. NO! I will slide into that chord inversion and look like a pro. A fine start to the weekend....
Sean. You are an excellent entertainer and teacher. And anyone watching you can see that. I'm 64 yo and a lifelong player. Whoever dials into you is going to be better for it. liking and sharing and wishing you the best.
I'm wondering what's in your breakfast cereal..... It seems as though you wake up trying to better the world bro.... I'm all the way in South Africa facing Covid 19 at its peak and yet listening to you motivate my absent guitar skills is tonic enough.... You forgot your halo while you were putting on your t shirt bro.... Keep it up.... You take teaching back to when learning was fun.
In over 30 years of guitar, you Sean have quickly become one of my top 3 favourite guitar tutors. Second only to Mr Paul Gilbert in laid back, fun, easy going vibe, inspiration and great hair. Love your work sir! Apreeeeeeeeeeeeesh
I've done that percussive muting thing when I can't remember chords, only playing to myself though but still, great tip for playing live. Loving that Taylor, sounds great! 👌
Hey Sean, Never miss a chance to highlight those beautiful maj7 chords! Purchased 3 of your courses. Excellent content for a 50+ guy playing again after 35yr break! Ive learned some basic music theory so suggestion for next course. A part 2 linking up the music theory to How to jam on guitar with confidence. You have covered a lot of it in part on your you tube videos. Keep up the good work. Regards from Oz, Phil
Sean, I'm envious on two fronts: 1) You've figured out a lot of things on guitar much sooner than I have. 2) You also mastered that cool bed head look well before I did. Happily, with your help and that of a good woman I've made tremendous progress on both fronts.
Your masterclass with Ian was great. You and Ian are my absolute favorite teachers. This lesson could not have come at a better time. I am really digging into chords, alternative voicings and inversions. And paying attention to my rhythm patterns. Great lesson.
Not only were these good tips - I found myself, literally laughing out load with each segment of the lesson delivery! (It was so good, I didn’t even abbreviate LOL)
Good lesson. Especially the percussive 'oops I got lost part', I get lost sometimes and lose my momentum and then suck. One of the most memorable guitars I ever played was a friend's old Taylor 110. It was so enamored with Taylors I went to several guitar stores and tried a full range (up to $5000 ones!) and could not find that sound and feel that I had experienced with the old 110.
Liked the video Sean, I am far away from your skills. I get so frustrated trying to learn barre chords, my old fingers do not stretch to well, lol. I enjoy seeing you sing and play on line, you bring so much happiness to your viewers with your smile and pleasant attitude. I can see how much you like the new Taylor Guitar, so happy they sent it to you! Have a great weekend and Thank You again for all you do. Best wishes, Brad Maier from Long Island
I Like Tip number 4---bought it (on sale of course) and love it. Covers everything (almost) about Jamming with others that a first timer should know. The Sean and Stich show is something out of an ongoing ad lib bit at Second City. Humorous, but keeps the leanings light, connected and moving . Definitely a Tip worth checking out.
The Half-Step Shuffle reminds me of the Judas Shuffle in church, when parishioners shuffle right past their pews and out the front doors after communion, instead of waiting for the normal ending!
Great tips, especially the "what to do when you daydream during a gig and can't remember what chord to play trick." I would call that chord 'The Everything Bagel'. Or maybe "Downtown Train,"-- you step on the platform, no clue where you are, strum everything muted while waiting for the next train (chord) to arrive. :-)
I learnt something new today. A very informative and entertaining video. You're a natural born guitar instructor. I'll never play the D major chord the ukelele way again. Thanks!
Here is a good tip ... ... stay away from the dog track. Nice cover. I get lost some times too. Hey, Taylor, made here in Sandy Eggo. Sweet sounding guitar.
Sean, I've played guitar for decades, but I'm constantly delighted by all the fun new tricks I Iearn from you. You even made the ad for your course fun! Did I just dream it, or did you end with a bonus very cool trick: em7, d#m7, dm7 resolving to Dmaj7? Awesome!
I really like this lesson! Playing the home chord a half step away before resolving is a good trick. I really think playing notes and chords out of key in an organized way is a good sign of being the best musician a person can be; keys can be very limiting.
Sean. You're so right. I've played for years. In Nashville 22 years. Sometimes, that tired old country ass d is not cool. Think I have 4 or 5 variations now. It's fun to pick up just a small thing, funny how many times you can apply it. Mof, I catch myself prematurely judging , what have been good players, when they play old school d. At times, if I DO use it, just lift your middle finger, e string.
Just got through watching your chord substitution video, as an intermediate guitar player it doesn't bother me at all that you don't teach songs on here, because what you have done for me is open up little nuggets here and there that are making me better at playing up and down the neck. I haven't made it to a "primo" lead guitarist status yet, but I understand things a lot better now and am slowly getting better bit by bit at improvising. There are plenty of channels on youtube that teach songs!
I so much appreciate all the guitar videos that you have made. I have subscribed, and look forward to all the awesome things you do share. Thank you so very much. BILL PORTA
That's the absolute best most honest and useful guitar lesson in all of guitar lesson ity. That D minor 7 hammer on is like Doobie Brothers without love where would you be now...awesome sound!
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've gotten a lot better in the last few months. Songs that I would have never attempted before, I can get them down with work. This pandemic will end, stay safe, and keep making videos. By the way, I almost pissed myself watching a witch changed my life. Thanks again!!!
10:30 *"It's not even a D, on there. It's a G. You're embarrassing yourself."* hahahaha friggin' love your style, dude! /he's talking 'bout on a ukulele for those that didn't catch that part
I used that Am to Fmaj7 (didn't know that's what it was) progression in a song is was writing recently. I thought it gave it a cool bit of movement while keeping it a bit melancholy. I feel kinda smart now. Thanks! That C -> D trick is pretty sweet, too. Reminds me a bit of "Willin'" by Little Feat.
wow... this is just fantastic.. brilliant.. crispy sound.. great work.. love the way you presented.. with obviously clean background.. and great tips..
Love to see some of your magic tricks. Music tricks, LOL. How many beers did you have before recording this video, Sean? Love how you spell your name though, the right way! Ha! You are a great teacher, brother. Keep up the good work and did you perhaps ever work at the magic time machine?
Hey what’s a good way to know what chord extensions to put on what number chord? I know I can use a dominate seven on a five chord and major/minor sevens on others, but after that I don’t know where to go.
What a coinkedink, in that just yesterday I was watching Kacey Musgraves play her tune "Slow Burn" (on SNL) and she was doing the C with G slide up to the D chord and I took note and dissected the trick from watching her. Then I watch this and "the disheveled one" totally validates my deduction.
Hey Sean I really love your “Devil like me” tutorial you did in September of 2018. I was wondering if you could do any more Rainbow Kitten Surprise songs. I’d love that, thank you.
Cool. I've actually been thinking about getting the finger picking class... (hint hint lol). Also, what was the fingering on that Dmaj you played up around the 7th fret (I think)? I couldn't catch it.
.......I saw Sean Daniel drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's.......and his hair was PERFECT!
Must’ve been a virgin pina colada ;)
Werewolves of Florida? Yeah, sounds about right.....
Caught him on a good day !
That was me man 👨
Guess my playing is going to be all percusive muting lol
LOL ...Just get som bongos then
I just realized why my style became so percussive In the first place. Oh well I like it now.
Your comment caught me off guard and landed me in a laughing jag ... thanks for making my day. Damn funny!
@@michaelkelly6583 :')
Yeah that’s a good one. Lmao cheers mate
Its definitely worth learning the open D because it has such a bright sound, and you can switch really easily to D7, Dm, A, A7, Am or slide up to E flat
I’m working on getting better in standard tuning. Can’t wait till I know enough to tackle drop tuning.
"G: the people's key."
So much of this is brilliant.
Yeah, crazy, huh? Learn more slick stuff with ol’ Sean.
OMG lol
Thought I was the only one to have done that ...
I've been a professional entertainer for 40+ years and when spacing out NEVER stop playing, simply keep the rhythm going over some muted strings until I regain conciousness, you know it bro. But now you blew our cover *dramatic sniffle
😂
You had me at "looking like less of a poseur while being more of a poseur all along." Looks like someone has me figured out.
That's funny dude. Lol!
So few guitar tip videos ever teach you anything worth while. This video gave me some amazing tips. Especially because their not basic tips. But legit intermediate to expert tips. This video was needed
So nice to have a guitar channel that I watch that's not all about lead and shredding.

My guy!!! Just trying to stay positive through the tough times! Stay safe bro!
Your enthusiasm sprinkled with a light touch of humour just does it for me. I just love your teaching style.
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.
Hello fellow Saffa.
Waar bly jy?
Howzit?
Sometimes all you can do is fake it, and there are many things to learn about doing so! Awesome work!
In over 30 years of guitar, you Sean have quickly become one of my top 3 favourite guitar tutors. Second only to Mr Paul Gilbert in laid back, fun, easy going vibe, inspiration and great hair. Love your work sir! Apreeeeeeeeeeeeesh
I've done that percussive muting thing when I can't remember chords, only playing to myself though but still, great tip for playing live. Loving that Taylor, sounds great! 👌
Ive done it through a whole song with my band live and no one noticed (little bit drunk)......

Honestly dude you don't get enough credit for these videos. They help a lot!

@@seandaniel23 is the fretboard lesson for beginners? After watching the preview I'm not so sure.
Not only were these good tips - I found myself, literally laughing out load with each segment of the lesson delivery!
(It was so good, I didn’t even abbreviate LOL)
Sean I love the content of your videos.Have for years.This morning I am watching so your humor can cheer me up.Thanks again.God bless
Thanks so much!!! I’ll keep em coming!
I was a waiter in NYC for almost 10 years and you are SPOT ON!
Good lesson. Especially the percussive 'oops I got lost part', I get lost sometimes and lose my momentum and then suck. One of the most memorable guitars I ever played was a friend's old Taylor 110. It was so enamored with Taylors I went to several guitar stores and tried a full range (up to $5000 ones!) and could not find that sound and feel that I had experienced with the old 110.
Bmin to Gmaj7 is a pro move! Thanks for helping me pose!

Thanks so much Brad!! Keep on rocking it out!
It takes talent to be good at being fake.
It's not that you're being fake..... But when you become good you learn how to play lazily....Or economically....
I Like Tip number 4---bought it (on sale of course) and love it. Covers everything (almost) about Jamming with others that a first timer should know. The Sean and Stich show is something out of an ongoing ad lib bit at Second City. Humorous, but keeps the leanings light, connected and moving . Definitely a Tip worth checking out.
Learned that D chord all the way back in Tonic's "If You Could Only See." It's a definite winner and used in quite a few songs. Thanks for the video!
This might be the best guitar video of all time
The Half-Step Shuffle reminds me of the Judas Shuffle in church, when parishioners shuffle right past their pews and out the front doors after communion, instead of waiting for the normal ending!
Great tips, especially the "what to do when you daydream during a gig and can't remember what chord to play trick." I would call that chord 'The Everything Bagel'.

Been there done that lol!
As soon as you played the B min, I heard Wild Horses too. Cool tricks, thanks for sharing!
Just purchased the Master Course! Can't wait to get started!
Thanks so much for the support! Hope you enjoy it!
Boom tip number one! Been playing for years and this just blew my mind. Thanks!
Do you have more videos like these bro ??? This is simply gold
I learnt something new today. A very informative and entertaining video. You're a natural born guitar instructor. I'll never play the D major chord the ukelele way again. Thanks!
Dude , your the shit!! Dont need to watch no other videos but yours .
Here is a good tip ...
... stay away from the dog track.
Nice cover. I get lost some times too. Hey, Taylor, made here in Sandy Eggo. Sweet sounding guitar.
OMG! The percussive muting trick works always!!!
Best intro joke so far thanks Sean you make my day a little brighter!
Brillant that you recap the key learning points at the end of the lesson. Good teacher. Thanks!
love that tip on transitioning from the minor to major chords - many thanks, man!
Great job putting stuff I already know it's going to be fun
Thank you. I learned a lot from this lesson
Thanks! I think you would be proud if you could see how far I’ve gone in my guitar playing watching your videos.
I know I would be because I am!
Sean, I've played guitar for decades, but I'm constantly delighted by all the fun new tricks I Iearn from you. You even made the ad for your course fun! Did I just dream it, or did you end with a bonus very cool trick: em7, d#m7, dm7 resolving to Dmaj7? Awesome!
This clip just might be the best musical clip on RUclips. I enjoyed every minute of it. Well done, and keep them coming. 🤙🏽
Love it! Stealing some of these ideas today.
Honestly you are the coolest guitar player on youtube
i like the percussive tip 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
I really like this lesson! Playing the home chord a half step away before resolving is a good trick. I really think playing notes and chords out of key in an organized way is a good sign of being the best musician a person can be; keys can be very limiting.
Great lesson at the start of my weekend in holland, thanks!

Haha, same. Once they hit that D triad, I know they're not trying.

Beat me to it, Jay. This is how I'm going to keep up with my Buds in our jam.
Sean Daniel is superb, just add Taylor and he's supreme - great tips!
What's it like being so awesome? Killer tips.
The absolute best intro in any video ever
Thanks so much!
That's the absolute best most honest and useful guitar lesson in all of guitar lesson ity.
That D minor 7 hammer on is like Doobie Brothers without love where would you be now...awesome sound!
Your killing me here! l was getting so tired going nowhere, l see progress ahead Thanks for these great tips.
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've gotten a lot better in the last few months. Songs that I would have never attempted before, I can get them down with work. This pandemic will end, stay safe, and keep making videos. By the way, I almost pissed myself watching a witch changed my life. Thanks again!!!
Thanks for reaching out and saying hey! Yeah that witch story is the best. Hope to see Yasmin soon again!
you teaching like my 'kinda sleepy math teacher last year, love it both
Thanks for watching it!
Love the C to D trick Sean.
Seriously love this channel!!!
Retrospectively, I like the final tip. I bought a Taylor. I love it.👍
love those major and min 7 crds
Such a tricky trick only could be learned from the genuine expert! God bless you.
these were really original and useful tips. great stuff man.
A true teacher...awesome....
Don't take away my D. That's my favorite chord! sus2, sus4 it's got it going on! ~grin~
that was a good one Sean! Thanks
Great teacher and very entertaining ......
Thanks so much!
Always appreciate your tips. Thanks
Just found your videos. Love ‘em. Really enjoy the humor and the lessons are outstanding. Thanks!
10:30 *"It's not even a D, on there. It's a G. You're embarrassing yourself."* hahahaha friggin' love your style, dude!
/he's talking 'bout on a ukulele for those that didn't catch that part
Legend! That D Major chord. My guy, THANK YOU!!
That guitar sound great! Rich sounding.
This is hilarious and yet applicable at the same time.
a rare talent
Spectacular video! Super easy, yet awesome sounding tips! Thanks so much!!! :)
One of your best videos imo
I used that Am to Fmaj7 (didn't know that's what it was) progression in a song is was writing recently. I thought it gave it a cool bit of movement while keeping it a bit melancholy.

Thanks so much! More coming soon!
Love to see some of your magic tricks. Music tricks, LOL. How many beers did you have before recording this video, Sean? Love how you spell your name though, the right way! Ha! You are a great teacher, brother. Keep up the good work and did you perhaps ever work at the magic time machine?
Drinking alcohol always would fuck up my playing, I have to stick to weed or meth
You probably get distracted in your performances by ALL the lovely ladies you work with! 🥰
found this video just at the right time, finally understand barre chord shapes and im sick of playing pathetic boring cowboy chords. Subbed!
Hey what’s a good way to know what chord extensions to put on what number chord? I know I can use a dominate seven on a five chord and major/minor sevens on others, but after that I don’t know where to go.
Thank you, Sean. Another very practical, fun lesson!
Sean you're simply the best
Better than allllll the rest!
ok you got me there I am always spacing out in the middle of playing so tip 2 was very welcome, in fact can I just replace everything with that
I gotta hang out here more often. These comments are hilarious. Oh and good lessons, too.
It gets pretty wild
Cool! Thanks, Sean! For me, every little bit helps!
I agree bro
What a coinkedink, in that just yesterday I was watching Kacey Musgraves play her tune "Slow Burn" (on SNL) and she was doing the C with G slide up to the D chord and I took note and dissected the trick from watching her. Then I watch this and "the disheveled one" totally validates my deduction.
Good, valid tricks to know. Great lesson! Thanks.
Hey Sean I really love your “Devil like me” tutorial you did in September of 2018. I was wondering if you could do any more Rainbow Kitten Surprise songs. I’d love that, thank you.
Great idea! I gotta get on that!
Thank you very much for this lesson, really appreciated.
Thanks, Sean - that D chord was new for me!
Cool. I've actually been thinking about getting the finger picking class... (hint hint lol). Also, what was the fingering on that Dmaj you played up around the 7th fret (I think)? I couldn't catch it.
