Wow why doesn't everyone teach this!! Just fantastic and easy!!
Thank you!
Amazingly simple, after memorizing few required chords then we can concentrate on how to have good strumming with good timing and intonation. Thank you very much chief. Cheers from Indonesia.
Ricky,
I found your channel and I'm home. Your explanations break the information down to pieces I can understand. My short background; I retired, got the guitar out of the case where it's been the past 40 years, and started watching RUclips. I felt like I hit the lottery, when I found your lessons, tips etc. Thank you for the time, effort, and outstanding content.
Possibly the best guitar hack I have ever seen.
I can't say enough good things about your efforts to help the rest of us learn.
Thank you so much, I know my playing and understanding has benefited greatly!
This dude is the LEGEND
Thanks man. Good to see your feeling better! This was a huge help. I've seen Warren Haynes play these shapes while singing and always wanted to know what he was doing.
Thanks Ricky! You are a great teacher who makes learning more engaging. Much appreciated 👍🏻
Thanks. That opens up a lot of possibilities. Great work!
Out of fifteen odd, tutorials,or channels that I use this channel has by far the best tricks ,or useful alternatives to learning guitar .
You solved my problems. ONLY COULD SOLVED OUR SHORT FINGERS PROBLEMS. THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH.
Ricky, Firstly, Thanks for being the first person to clearly explain these notes & how to achieve them with the minimum of fuss. I know I must diligently practice them & look forward to doing so. You have re ignited my guitar playing passion. Thank you. I look forward to doing the other lessons in your programme.
Thanks for watching and for your kinds words, Michael.
Thanks a million Ricky mate, I’m thanking you mainly for answering my need for help, most of the experts don’t bother. Your a great guy, and one day,when I’m in England, il try and get to see ya. That would be music in itself. Please forgive my writing, I’ve been in Switzerland so long now I make mistakes all the time. Anyway thanks a lot, your awesome. Al 😁😁😁
Cool. I wanted to see a song played with these chords.
I’ve got a follow video coming up to do just that!
Thanks so much, Mate. It’s very gratifying for me to be able to effortlessly follow & understand everything, which tells me I’m progressing (albeit slowly). Cheers from 🇨🇦
Really like everything you do , so helpful to me . I try to catch all your videos , thanks : James from Alabama👍🏻
Thank you again, Ricky! Great lesson with a good dose of humour😃🙏
Thank you Cary! If you can’t have a laugh it’s a miserable life lol!
Excellent explanation 👌 ❤🎉thanks so much 🙏 You are great Sir🎉
Thank you Ricky for the simplest best explayion I've ever read one would be a pretty good guitar player if you just use those two shaped
Great lesson. The hardest chord for me is Bm barre chord. I have struggled for years with this chord. Think I’ll use the Bm from this lesson for most applications.
Thanks!
Highlight of the week sir! Been playing guitar so much more since watching your videos and experimenting. Thank you
Get in! Love it 😍
Nice session!
Love your HSS Strat. I just bought ( 8 months ago ) a new Fender HSS altra Strat. Amazing guitar. You have an awesome guitar. Great lesson I might add. Love you all Bill.
Extremely enlightening, thank you
Nice lesson Ricky!
You are helping so much new guitar players. Thanks so much.
Thank you for making this great lesson for us Ricky.
You’re welcome buddy!
Nice one Ricky 🎸 Keep on rockin 😎
Sweet information, Thanks Ricky
Dude, this video is flippin’ awesome! Thank you for posting it, it’s incredibly helpful! 👍 to you, cheers, dtp
Super helpful, as always, thanks Ricky.
Great video Ricky! Thank you for that!
Cheers Reggie!
Great lesson, thanks!
Happy almost New Year Ricky!. Great video, and we see you have been putting in some hours upping the video quality.
Content is the most important imho, and yours has always been tops! But well done, looks great!
I’m just about getting there with the tech. Not going to lie the tech learning curve has been hard work! Stoked you can see the effort I’ve been putting in. I just want to make sure I connect these ideas and lessons effectively and simply. Thank you for your kind words:)
Here bro, that wee bit of VITAL IMPORTANT & USEFUL INFO is brilliant for beginners/newbies 👍🎶🎸🏴
That’s exactly who I made it for!
Great hack Ricky thanks :)
Excellent learning and entertaining too, thanks Ricky!
I found this very helpful, thanks
Wait, and the bass string is the root of the chord! So I can associate the fret with note and memorize the fretboard, as well. Talk about rock n roll! You rock!
Great stuff thank you ricky.....cheers mate!
Very good channel.
Brilliant!!
WOW!!!! THAT is Incredibly Awesome!!!😍🎸😍🎸😍🎸
Back at u ,cheers,hey it always used to bug me when I would here a piece of music , chords,and see some of my favorite bands on TV live with their fingers grouped on the neck like you've showed,I used to think their guitRs were tuned up strangely.
Same. I remember seeing Paul Westerburg use this shape and it confusing me.
The production quality seems to be increasing each video, not to say it was bad before. I do remember the pen and paper days of course of your videos so it is only positive feedback. Great lesson as always, i knew the E Shape you used but i had never really considered using that for the minor. That's an awesome, two beginner friendly shapes. Thanks again chap.
Eyup Aaron! Thought I’d shoot in 4K and see what happened. RUclips always compresses the heck out of video but it was super useful for zooming in on my hands. I learn something new every video! I still love doing the pen and paper vids but I think those will be 4K in the future too! That silly shape is amazing (chord tone soloing is good).Thanks for watching!
@@rickysguitar My favorate is the white board..! Thanks to your white board I think I’ve just about memorised the fretboard wich I found nearly impossible prior..! And the minor pentatonic shapes.! I haven’t ventured in to the major pentatonic shapes just yet.! I wonder if I should start that one day this year or just keep going with the minor since I only just learnt those but I’m pretty on to it now..! I always new pattern one tho. That’s not new for me..!
As you said at the end, "Genius!"
I always knew that but your the first teacher on RUclips to show it...
Excellent, thanks.
Cool,thanks.
Thank you. Very helpful great lesson👍
Damnnn Ricky, this is interesting !
Thnx for sharing 🤘
🤘😎👍
Nice, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
amazing video
Smart lesson 🏁👍
thanks ricky happy new year
Cheers Mike! Happy new year to you buddy:)
A little late to this conversation but I find it useful to think of these two chord fingerings as the I MAJ chord (E shape) and the iv min chord (A minor shape). Not too tough to change either of them to maj/min versions. Just sayin'. :)
My message is that hacks like Ricky shows in this video can also be very handy for those with discrepancies in their fingers, as this is exactly how I play....with a slight adjustment. Due to damaged nerves in my left ring and pinky finger they very easily cramp up in certain angles, specifically the the barre chord position. So I never thought I would ever be able to learn to play. But when I turned 50 11 years ago I saw a documentary about Django Reinhardt and how he tought himself to play with 2 fingers after having severe damage to his ring and pinky due to burn injury. So I decided to give it a try and see if I could find a way to figure out how to play with my handicap as it isn't as bad as Django's was. Especially my pinky is sensitive to cramping, the ring finger a bit less but I have to try and use it as less as possible because it will start acting up when I play longer than 10 minutes like at gigs and use it too much. So as lead guitarist in my Santana tribute band I'm basically riffing away 90% of Carlos's solo's Django Reinhardt style with 2 fingers and a bit of assistance of my ring finger here and there. But for chords I found out that I actually can fret 2 strings with my ring finger namely A and D without it acting up. And I apply that to the E and Am shape method Ricky explains here and it works GREAT. Using 9- 42 and very low action helps a lot too. I know it sounds weird because many would say they could never do that but don't have trouble playing barre chords. I have no explanation other than most likely the angle in the ring finger joints and or tendons is slightly different. If necessary I can play the low E string with my thumb but with a bass player in the band hardly ever need to. Playing acoustic alone, which I seldom do, without the low E however sounds too thin so then the thumb comes in handy.
Great! 👍🏻
Good job 👏 👍 👌
Hi Ricky, I am new to your channel and love what I'm seeing very good lessons well explained.I see a lot of things out there on secondary dominant chords( NOT well explained) could you do a video on Secondary dominant chords? I know your lesson will make sense to me.
Secondary dominants are amazing and a lot of fun. I have that written down in my "videos to shoot" notebook!
Excellent
Genius
Bloody good ! Thank you.
Thanks a span, can now rock on.
Genius!
Good stuff
Wow you're awesome
More. 👏👏👏😎👍
You can also get A flat minor by dropping a piano down a mine shaft.
Ay up ..can u do a chord inversion tip top ,tip video ,i rekon you can but my dog said nah,he just cant do it ..id like you to get me doing inversions because im cage systeming most of the time ,which stops me dead in.my tracks .thank you.
I can do those shapes pretty good.! My pinky is only about a year into playing cause it use to be like this loose limb but I started including it about a year ago so now I’m doing excersises to help it keep up .! I find it a little weird like it’s not wanting to I’m hoping going up and down with the fourth finger might help..! It’s pretty good as a chord tho an do those chord shapes fine ..!
This video can link to playing barre chords which I did a video about. However, the secret to faster changes is to scout with your middle finger first, build the E or Am shape then apply the index finger. Once you get quick at that you can change that into a barre chord!
gets the guitar ringing
With the Am shape. Which string is giving the chord name?
The A string ordinarily. However we aren't using the A string so we have to find it elsewhere using this shape. That places it on the G string, which is a fuzzy string to memorise. You could however visualise the root (chord name note) on the A string as it's on the same fret as the index finger, (or imagine playing as a barre chord to get that information).
This is terrific. Thank you ! Btw, which model Pacifica is that ?
It’s an old 1990’s Yamaha Pacifica 112v. I found this one in bits in a box in a second hand store and paid £25 for it! It’s a wonderful guitar!
Lovely....I learned to play the B chord and all the others up the neck (in the A shape) in a similar way before I could do barre/bar chords. I still prefer to do it that way with just my index finger on the high e string rather than barring, Does that make sense? Either way great video as always!
Absolutely! The goal is to able to play any chord in any position so you're not just stuck in 1 or 2 spots. Efficiency leads to faster changes and different voicings. As long as we serve the song!
Hi Ricky, I have forgotten how to count the notes and frets on the guitar. I still know the E and A strings. Give us a hand will ya please

This was so helpful im trying to get my self conditioned to play live shows and this will come in handy love this tip man!
Darn nifty!!!
The drawback versus barchords is that barchords are fuller in sound thanks to more strings being strum or what?
Golden. Porter or Lager? Room temp or ice-cold?
So, does using this shape in the major position mean that you're actually playing chord inversions? Your roots are on the D string when you use the shape for Major chords, which seems strange.
Yes they are inversions as I explain in the video. This is purely about playing a chord to serve the song and so any vocalist has a chord to reference for singing in pitch. There’s a time for being a stickler for rules and a time for being an artist.
Instead of learning the notes on the E and A strings, it would be easier to learn the notes on D and G strings to find the root notes more easily using the pinky finger.
I wish to know what pacifica model that is can you help 😊
Ricky don't lose that number.
Do you have an easy hack for B7, C7, F7 chords etc
Yes. 2 simple 3 finger chord shapes. Here's the video! There's a pdf in the description too if I'm not mistaken. PDF here: bit.ly/shellchords
You can do the same with the D shape
Is this the same as using a capo?
Yes. No. Kinda...
Hi Ricky where do I find your pdfs please
Eyup Emil. PDFS are always linked in the video description.
what about the diminished sound :'(
🤘🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
👌
❤❤
👊
😲😲👏👏👏
👍🏾😎🎸😃🎸🕺🏾😁
Politicians have no better future in sight
So no one thinks you are actually playing an F chord this way thats actually a F/C major. if you can hendrix it and wrap your thumb on the low E string then yes its an F
As long as it serves the song Brian. Let's not get bogged down in theory eh? Let's the beginners play some songs and build some confidence first yeah! And indeed if you can get your thumb over for that one that would make a "proper" F. I'd also add if you were going to do that on F, do it on all the other E shaped chords all the way up if you absolutely must play the root of the chord. However sometimes it nice to just leave some space for the bass or piano to take care of all the root note action.
🐨
NO "BARS" LOL
I nearly put a sheep in there
Barre chords aren’t that difficult. Practice for a bit and it will soon be easy.
You missed the point. Practice what specifically? Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Imperfect practice makes imperfect and that’s why just saying “practice” without explicit instruction on HOW to practice serves no-one. And yes I do think barre chords are easy. If you know how to practice them explicitly. I do that in this video. ruclips.net/video/bI2KY6DXsow/видео.html
