    Hi guys, really hope you enjoy this and find it useful - I did try to keep this as basic as possible but I really hope it doesn’t come across as condescending if you already know some theory. Have a great day and take it easy

      There seems to be an extra audio clarity in your videos this year. Even with RUclips compression and gain. I can hear the individual notes better on chords. The thing is you have change at least three major components recently. What do you think is contributing the most to this? Is it the new magnets that are designed specifically for guitar? The new v2 guitars? That new Barefaced cab?

      The german version would be: "Eine Alte Dame Geht Bier Einkaufen" - an old lady goes to get beer
      Edit: had a stupid mistake in the german sentence, since in swissgerman (of my region) nobody uses the equivalent of the standard german "Bier einkaufen" but much rather "Bier holen" which gives a H (B) String instead of an E String.

    I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years (at a mediocre level) and I've learned a bit of music theory along the way. Even still, I still watch videos like this to refresh the basics, and maybe I've overlooked something, or maybe you bring new stuff to my attention.

    Thank you! Very informative and thorough. I have been in a 20 year slump with my playing. It’s as if I had hit a wall and could not progress no matter what I tried. It has been so frustrating that I just quit altogether. I’m back now with a shiny new, fresh mindset and plenty of motivation. I am now progressing to where I don’t have to play the same songs and licks that I have been playing over and over for years. That was the wall that I’m speaking of. Same stuff, over and over and over again until I just couldn’t do it anymore. Your videos inspire me to get better and I thank you for that. Greatly appreciated my friend!

    Great breakdown Rob!! This is the bread and butter of my song writing too! Like you said certain chords like B may not be used as much as the others but it has its place and time. A ton of the greatest songs ever written involve these ten chords! Just takes time/repetition and they become second nature to play. Soo many things you can do with them. Rock on!!

    It's fun to return to the basic. I was listening and thinking that this is the basic of music and you don't need much more than that to play anything that you want. Yes there are other chords, 7th, 9th, but there so many songs are using only those basic chords that I could have fun for hours with only that. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy the way you teach.

    Rob you beautiful man, I can’t afford a guitar teacher and don’t have time for it really on top of college and never been able to get my head around chords and this video has really helped with my understanding, gonna go practice this and write more music

    Rob, thank you. This is great and if you wanted to continue, I believe some remakes of your original vids on scales (I didn't know who Dorian was until you introduced us--haha), lessons, etc. would be wonderful. I also think teaching some key techniques would be great--like how to do proper double stop bends, etc. You have developed your shape and movement techniques to a fine art and I would love you hear your techniques on these and others. Does any of that rambling make sense? "Thank you, Sir...may I have another?" Cheers.

    Fantastic chappers thanks, Iv watched Justin, Andy guitar, etc but this is by far helped me! I am struggling with barre chords, as in transition between barre and open chords. Any tips please. Jamie from Trowbridge. 👍
