Thanks! A brilliant and fresh way of expanding the sounds of the guitar. Your lesson merges "cowboy chords", triads, music theory and the layout of the fretboard to create more beautiful music without a lot of new learning.
Thanks Mitch, I’m glad you found it useful. Stay tuned, I have a sequel planned where we take the exact same concept and apply our open strings to scale shapes
Very cool first came across this with dolphins cry by Live and is one of my fave techniques for melodic rhythm passages.. it really does freshen things up as you say! Thanks for the share 🙏🕊️
Never mind The Allman Brothers (although I really like them), those first 4 triads you are playing in E are the opening, and comprise most of the verses of song 'All Things Must Pass' (also one of the biggest selling albums of the 70s) - beautiful.
You can do this with any key that uses notes from the open strings. If you are creative and don’t always think from the perspective of the 1 chord, you will find a lot of ways to use this trick
Nice lesson, but at 6:46 why skip the 7 chord? Use this fingering for it: 0,5,6,4,0,0. You'd be playing the G#dim triad along with the open strings technically making it an E7 chord. When you think you've hit a problematic area don't give up and skip it, figure it out! 🙂
I needed this, thank you! As a 1 year-ish beginner, this blew my mind about how to think about playing.

I like these regular small chunk topics. Im often feeling stuck.
Beautiful chords thank you
It makes very nice advanced chords.
Thank you so much
You explain things so well.
Love this. Thanks for giving this approach to expand what i already know

Excellent thank you!
Another great video, thank you 😁👍🏻
Great content! We love how you break down music theory and we'd love to work with you using some of our theory tools from the Decoder range!

You’re right, I had “Melissa” in the back of my mind but George uses this trick too
And "who knows where the time goes?" from Sandy Denny
This works well when the key is E major or minor or A major or minor. It's not so easy to do this over a G major or Bb major key.

Good thinking
