Chordplay - Chord Tricks

Hey everybody! Here's the next episode of Chordplay with Chord Tricks. This lesson features an assortment of unusual/inspiring ways of playing chords on the guitar, and many of these outside-the-box ideas may inspire you to write some new riffs of your own or dig deeper into the overall subject of coming up with radically different ways to perform chords on the guitar.
The ideas shared here include timeless "chord tricks" such as adding vibrato to chords, smearing chords with the tremolo bar, adding volume swells to chords, shimmering chord-based pick tapping, the "spider chord" concept, chordal tapping ideas, implied chords using harmonics, fretting with the frethand thumb, the elusive cascading harmonic approach, an intense chord-based exercise, and much more!
The ideas shared here came from an assortment of legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Pass, Steve Vai, Chet Atkins, Joe Satriani, Lenny Breau, Andy Timmons, Tony Iommi, Tuck Andress, Dave Mustaine, and several others!
Needless to say, if you've been searching for some new ways to perform chords on the guitar, are interested in learning a handful of useful ideas that came directly from a number of guitar legends, or maybe you're just curious about this topic in general - this episode is totally for you!

I shake chords with palm pressure on the bridge of my Floyd

[@c.h.r.i.s2253]

I remember doing that "shimmering pick tap" in the 70's with my friends
Can't remember where we heard it first

[@usagi2988]

Man, been a huge fan of Tuck Andress since "Reckless Precision," and it still amazes me how speechless his prowess leaves me...

[@fiddleandfart]

Fascinating! Love your friendly manner... like another guitar mate, sitting opposite, and showing you stuff... And your opening shaken Hendrix chord sounded so authentic! Happily just found you, and will check out the rest of your goodies now!

[@greg77hot]

You definitely need more subs, seeing as you're amazing at demonstrating. Not even mentioning how quick you work stuff out to show us all. 👍

[@suzannecoholic1467]

Very inspirational. Thanks Dave!

[@leechild4655]

play the harmonic on high e 12th. now harmonic on g string 7th fret next b string 12th then 4th string 7th fret then g string 12th fret then a string 7th fret then d string 12th fret and last low e string 7th fret harmonic. see the pattern? sounds nifty played forward and backwards once at a moderate tempo. the real trick is to not deaden many if any strings while you hit the next string for a harp effect i guess

[@jteichma]

Thanks David, most fun lesson ever!

[@jonhart-dj7fn]

[@It.is.what.it.looks.like_]

Vibrato? I was just playin ozzy miracle man, wiggle, too much chorus 🤘

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

It's weird hearing the chords played knowing that you don't want to be taken down for "Copy Rights".

[@ne2607]

Great lesson, thank you. Is that Iommi line from a song or just a technique example? Thanks again.

[@It.is.what.it.looks.like_]

[@hybridmonopoly3942]

Volume swells…Phil Keaggy!

[@julianschulz1620]

The shimmering tapped chord rings:
Lady Elaine Fairchilde, i hereby, appoint you guardian of the land of make believe!
(puppets applaud)

[@roryfanpaul]

What Amp set up do you have? It looks like a Behringer

[@freskimloshaj5885]

Of which song that iommi riff?

[@salahbaker4089]

Dipping into mode, Maybe..

[@doxierottenbreath5773]

Just a note - that hat is REALLY you, if I'd see you on the street with a different hat, I wouldn't recognize you...

[@titusprime5240]

Vibrato is way over used
