You are rapidly becoming my favourite teacher on RUclips. I like the balance of practical skills, theory and having fun. I learned a lot from this video. Not least is that I will not be buying a carbon fibre guitar.
Much appreciation Sean! this is one of those golden laws of understanding - a light bulb moment, the harmony of firing multiple neurons resonating in deep Space-time, pure music energy! da Force!
I love playing the Key of D Major from the 4th Position G for that G Lydian flavor and then play the Minor Pentatonic from the 3rd Position F# for a super classy sound!
Sean I’ve been learning to play guitar for about 7 months now and your videos have helped accelerate my knowledge on this instrument more than any other video or creator on here. Trying to link scales I’ve learned to chords and keys has been my biggest struggle so far so this helps a ton. I’d love more of these videos man keep up the great work man.
I feel like this video moves really fast and provides a lot of info really quickly. It’s honestly perfect for where I am at learning wise on guitar. Great help
@@44scoots looks like it, sounds like it... but I am only guessing. But good for you if you know better. Lemme edit my guess. I don't care what it costs. The lesson is the value.
I have found that I can anchor my ring finger on that D note of the B string and work easily between the I, IV, V, and vi chords as D, G, Asus4, and Bm7 (played with the barre and the 3rd and 4th fingers-but actually quite comfortable IMO). The D and G could become sus2's if you open the high E or A strings, respectively. This could be useful to less advanced players because your hand is anchored and you won't miss your spot going in and out of that barred Bm chord.
Thanks, Sean! I've told several people that D is the Key of the Year! I'd love to see a video extensively about the relationship between the Keys of D Major and D Minor and doing trade-offs between them.
It's funny how I get ads on these videos telling me how RUclips is the worst place to go for guitar lessons, yet I have learned entirely all of the theory I know from Sean Daniel's channel. Much respect, and thanks for what you do!
That was an interesting twist, linking the chords, to arpeggios, to the relative minor More 'heads up' along these lines would be stunning *Duh moment* I'd never linked the open strings were all in the key of D - thanks for that especially
Wow. Awesome lesson for an intermediate player. Centering key D but going through some theory reminders and useful playing techniques, wow. Your best lesson in this simi advanced player.
in the key of D, the hard chord in a quick transition is F#m and Bm. The easy Bm is Bm7 which is on frets 202020. With a bit of practice, it is an easy chord and it sounds good
This was a great lesson as it helps me with soloing on a couple pop songs I’m learning in the key of D major. I’m more of a blues rock player and tend to favor the minor keys and minor pentatonic blues scales so not familiar with major scales.
As soon as I learned to play D, G, A, and E minor 40 years ago, I used it to write 500 songs... 20 - 30 of them were actually pretty good. My favorite move in D is to go from Em (the ii chord) to G (the IV chord) then back to Em. This works great for the Bridge.
Thank you Sean, I really liked this lesson,and got some great ideas to conquer boring chord progressions. You are a sage for naming key of D as key of 2020. 😄
A blues in D is cool too. The minor 7th C and the minor third F are at the 3rd fret, bend and release to open A or D. Trill the G-string to A-flat, if you're nasty.
Super nice lesson Sean! Easy to get a very nice majestic kind of sound using these tips. That's right down my street. Guess that comes from being a dyed in the wool Moody Blues fan of old. Fabulous thing that relative minor landing on the 6th degree of the scale! Brilliant! Solid gold! Many, many thanks! Be well, stay safe my friend. The pale rider is definitely in the land. Melodramatic old Dave in the Adirondacks 👨🚀🎸
Agree. I'd like to see something similar in other keys. This was a cool lesson that did help me see how to relate the minor pentatonic to the key of a song.
I get confused easy, we do Atlantic City in the chords f sharp , a, d,a , when I play licks I start out of the a cowboy chord , , my question is how do you know for sure what key you are in ? I guess I’m in the key of A but the first chord of the song is F sharp.
Definitely more of this kind of lesson please. It’s was fascinating. Coincidently last week was exploring Dm key which was a wonderful rabbit hole. Thanks so much for making the vid.
Haaa, Epiphany time! You just (accidentally/coincidentally?) connected a few music theory dots that I've read & heard about (numerous times over now) and was consciously aware of, but truly lacked in understanding or 'getting it' with full conviction. At the same time while watching your video, for the third time now I might add. I have a poster with the 'Circle of Fifths' hanging on the wall, and I just discovered exactly how it functions by showing the key with its notes/chords (1-6) in addition to figuring out its relative minor/major..... Now I'm wondering if there's more hidden in this little circle of wonder I'm blissfully unaware of. Funny how one can spend so much time learning something but never truly understanding it until someone says or shows something. Then, all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightning and as if overcome with a rush of insight, BAMMM, I FINALLY GET IT........ I guess sometimes we just make the simplest things we don't understand so overly complicated, that it's hard to digest and understand what it is we are actually learning at that time. Thanks Bro!!!!!!!!!!
Ok...ok...2nd video I've watched now...ya got a new subscriber..RUclips needs more teachers like you bro,knowledgeable, to the point,& a SENSE OF HUMOR as well...keep it up man,the "Newbies" will keep rolling in!!!! Best of luck bro...😎🎸🎼🎸👍
I've paid 50$ a lesson for weeks at a time and in 10 minutes, you've helped me connect the dots for free. Thank you Sean!

I learned a lot from this video. Not least is that I will not be buying a carbon fibre guitar.
Hahah, fair enough.
Yeah....I learned that I AM A WOOD MAN myself LMAO
"Every AC/DC Song" is in A mixolydian to be exactly. Basically the same chords as D major, but the 'Homebase' is on A instead of D.
Really like how there's not a wasted moment here. Dense with ready-to-use info, yet not too fast. Excellent! TY!
That chimey F# minor, the Em and the D are the essentials of "Eight Miles High", I think (along with a G). Fantastic combination
I love how your lessons always connect the dots between concepts like that. Please lets have some more of these flavors of deep dive videos.

It's a kids guitar. He is making his point.
He is a kid at heart,
with knowledge AND wisdom!
Thank you Mr. Daniel.
Beautiful!!!
$900+ kids guitar?
@@44scoots Dunno, I didn't buy it.
@@citizenY you said it was a kids guitar... I'm saying its $900.

@@citizenY the first thing you wrote was "It's a kids guitar", maybe you should've wrote "great lesson" first. Sorry to ruffle your feathers. Rock on!
more great stuff!!! i like when u mix the scales w/ the chords together and now w/ that arpeggio salsa!!! man i think i can!!! i think i can !!!

I play a little dobro on country, bluegrass, and gospel. Most dobro players are in open, G but I prefer open D, and now I know why
Thanks, Sean! I've told several people that D is the Key of the Year! I'd love to see a video extensively about the relationship between the Keys of D Major and D Minor and doing trade-offs between them.
Excellent lesson, as usual, Sean. Love the “ in D structable”.
For what it's worth, Sean, hope your soap opera career kicks off soon enough.
I have just bought a looper, I think this will help with my practice. Thanks dude!!!!

That trick with the F # minor immediately brought to mind "Ventura Highway"
That was an interesting twist, linking the chords, to arpeggios, to the relative minor
More 'heads up' along these lines would be stunning
*Duh moment* I'd never linked the open strings were all in the key of D - thanks for that especially
Sean, you're an excellent teacher. you make students think in turn it makes them better...

You are the best teacher 😃✋.... I've spent whole day watching this video.... God bless you
Ive been doing deep diving into key of D now, fun tip a lot of Tenacious D songs are in D!!
The D the D the D the D...
Really love that tip
This was a great lesson as it helps me with soloing on a couple pop songs I’m learning in the key of D major. I’m more of a blues rock player and tend to favor the minor keys and minor pentatonic blues scales so not familiar with major scales.
Whoa, just started playing songs I used to play in C and G but now I play them in D instead. It's beautiful!
I like playing in E so I'm just gonna tune the guitar to D Standard for 2020 just to be cool
Corey Hicks the chords are Definately a little bit for full In the key of E. I do that tuning a lot too.
Sean I discovered this recently. That open F# and F# Augmented sound pretty cool, with an E major.
Thanks Sean, i'll make it the key for 2021 as well, same wtf world but like your no fuss approach,cheers for that.
There's a lot of comments here, anyone pick ip on the carbon guitar being 'in D structable'?
Great lesson
"Classic raawk songs" - love Americans varied accents. Seriously, though, this is very helpful, thanks from a tiny hands beginner. Subscribed.
As soon as I learned to play D, G, A, and E minor 40 years ago, I used it to write 500 songs... 20 - 30 of them were actually pretty good. My favorite move in D is to go from Em (the ii chord) to G (the IV chord) then back to Em. This works great for the Bridge.
Thank you Sean, I really liked this lesson,and got some great ideas to conquer boring chord progressions. You are a sage for naming key of D as key of 2020. 😄
I've been playing exclusively in Open D for a couple of years. Works great.
Great lesson even for pros. So much useful info in a short time. Please do other keys including F, Bb etc.
I'll get to em all eventually!
Bb? dude, seriously?
Sean, a very helpful lesson. Thanks, Rob from Oz
Thanks Sean, Great explaination.
A blues in D is cool too. The minor 7th C and the minor third F are at the 3rd fret, bend and release to open A or D. Trill the G-string to A-flat, if you're nasty.
I didn't know D was the official Key of 2020. I recently bought a Didereedoo in D
Excellent lesson that ties the chords and scales together! And where to find them!
Key of D, great for Drop D tuning also, can still do everything Sean does on the Low E, just move up 2 frets.
And use the C chord as the Flat 7 chord.
He's D-Man... Very well done. Glad I stopped by!
Dude awesome lesson! I soaked up a lot music theory goodness from this one! Thanks man 🎸 ❤️
Happy to help Dennis!
So you showed me awesome way to access 10 frets of guitar within 6 mins... now that’s super cool content 🤩!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Sean, you have just helped me understand the notes in the key. Al
Definately into more of this! This just made my day, thanks Sean! Now i've found me some razzamatazzzz....🤘🎸😘
Another great lesson
Thanks Mike!

Thanks Sean for making learning the Guitar simple and interesting new shapes up and down the neck.
I like to share your videos with beginning guitarist. This was great, keep them coming.
This was an awesome lesson. I would want to see how other keys translate on the fret board. I've never seen it laid out like this
Agree. I'd like to see something similar in other keys. This was a cool lesson that did help me see how to relate the minor pentatonic to the key of a song.
Fantastic lesson for a beginner like myself. Really expands my knowledge on use of the neck. Great work! Thank you
Great! I will spend the time to master what you just showed us for FREE!!!! TKS!
One of your best videos for me and there’s been many. Thanks.
Thanks!
I get confused easy, we do Atlantic City in the chords f sharp , a, d,a , when I play licks I start out of the a cowboy chord , , my question is how do you know for sure what key you are in ? I guess I’m in the key of A but the first chord of the song is F sharp.
One other way is the note/chord to the progression resolves to. I am sure that Chord is A for you.. Hmm Hmmm Hmmmm Hmm
Such a great explanation. Master teacher. Thank you.✨🙏🏻✨
Funny, clever, and really useful information. Thanks much, your lessons are first class.
Definitely more of this kind of lesson please. It’s was fascinating. Coincidently last week was exploring Dm key which was a wonderful rabbit hole. Thanks so much for making the vid.
Chris Greenwood it’s the saddest of all keys.
This video is mostly review for me but I'm glad I watched because you connected a lot of dots that I hadn't yet connected.
Absolutely brilliant lesson Sean. So much great information there on how everything fits together, Much appreciated!
I like this! 🥸 So many cords, so little time.
This is exactly the sauce I needed. Thanks Sean
This was incredibly worthwhile. Please do a video about another key. Also, would you do a video about building a library of pentatonic licks?
Love the sound of the Dsus4/sus2. I've heard it both in old (Give Me Love - George Harrison) and new (Right Before My Eyes - Cage the Elephant) songs
Ah yes, George loves his sus chords. He does it in Here Comes the Sun as well, although it’s capo’d up so it’s not in D, but he uses the d shape
thank you
Would love to see this lesson in other major keys.
Many thanks Sean. Excellent as per usual. Cheers.
Thank you for the video, Sean!
Fantastic Lesson! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
D7 played at the third fret using the C7 shape is a useful D chord.
Man those major arpeggios immediately made me think of Turn On Your Love Light by Grateful Dead.
I wouldn't know anything about all that. ;)
Speaking of D’s and Capos: Norwegian Wood would be a great example of playing Scale tones with chords.
Here Comes The Sun is a better example - capo at the 7th fret.
Simply fantastic, thanks! love your videos...
Thanks for watching Anthony!
Great lesson. Thanks
Great great teacher and lesson! 😊
Very interesting take. Thank you
One of, if not the best video lesson from you! Awesome!
Awesome Operational Information!
Good info to think differently than stuff you already know, just hooking it altogether. Fun stuff for improvising.
You've helped me so much in guitar and piano!! Such a good teacher!! Thank you so much!!
I will learn from this video. Thank you. Not sure about the carbon fiber guitar sound though?
I just like the way the Key of D sounds. Also E.
Thanks Sean, learning alot from your lessons.
Thank you , Sean. That was very informative.
Thanks for the lessons
This is Fire!!! Learning so much thank you
Thankyou - Very helpful.
You had me at in D....structible
Thanks for the nugget
you changed my whole approach to building chords, many thanks!
Another great video Sean, as only you can do it. Thanks again!
Always happy to help!
One of ur best lessons ..
For me anywho ..
Cheers for that .. 👍🏼
