5 GREAT chord tricks everyone should know!

Of course, it's often underestimated or seen as something for beginners, but man, they are amazing, very versatile, and very important. I've put together a list of five

great

tricks

to turn your everyday stuff into epic, sweet sound. Let's get started, here's the number one power cord trick. of course the most legendary cut for guitar the power cord we can turn it into something beautiful we probably all

know

something like this see power port T power

chord

e power

chord

but we can make it much more epic our typical power chord has a C root in this case and v that's why we write a power chord like a v like C 5 which means a power chord because it's just the root and a fifth, but there's also the octave on the court in this case C again string fret g 5 but that octave doesn't really affect the sound much.

As you see, there isn't much difference, so let's remove it and put it back one string lower. Now we still have the same power cord, but we added the major third to the court, so this. it's basically just a major chord and it sounds a little more melodic but it still has the drive and the power of that power chord and on D we do the same thing so let's remove the power cord and put it back in there for seven strings to 2. D and e basically do the same thing, but we did this, we made it a minor chord, so we used our middle finger on the 8th fret, so now we have this amazing thing and you can do it with every power cord you can imagine. with major or minor inversions or even inversions the options are limitless so yeah next this trick is

great

for playing open chords so you can basically use it all the time let's say we play a C and D chord it's well, that sounds like it.

It sounds pretty weak, right? Let's fatten it up a little bit, so there's a giant, huge string that's not being used right now and that's the low E, so just hit that v as a base note under the C chord. , so instead of C we move our ring finger to the G returned our pinky and how fat does that sound, that low E string is a really big part of your sound potential and if you miss that string, you miss a lot of things, so why not use it? Of course there is a place. for everything, but it often sounds great, so why not do the same with D?

If you play this chord as C, if you just slide up two frets. Wow, that's cool, but also playing chords like F, C and G, we can do the same thing when you play the F chord compared to the G G G just sounds a lot thicker because it uses all six strings, so let's play like this C major seven over G , that's how you love these slightly more complex sounds and if you ask me more nuances, we'll do it carefully. select our voice to match the next or previous chord and we can take it even further.

Next when you discover this, you just can't go back and it's Hank's open rope, so here's four quarters, well you

know

that, but what if I told you we can turn it into this, where are they? the tissues? You could ask to just keep the top two strings open and let them ring in each chord and sometimes you have to do a little fitting with your hands to make sure it does. The shape fits the chord, but it's always very rewarding and really worth it, and the nice thing is that we just played in the key of E quartz B C sharp minor G sharp minor to F sharp minor we can use the same technique in any key, so C is a very different key than E, so we can use like yeah, that's the C major seventh again, a great chord and then to D beautiful you don't even have to know the name of the court, just listen and use your ears and it sounds great. super versatile and my advice is to try to use them and any key, any chord progression that you like and just listen if it sounds good, trust your ears, they are very useful.

These things you discover might surprise you next, the G shape trick. Well, here's something that baffles me and I see very few people. I wonder if the trick is too difficult or people just don't know it, let me explain, so here you have free chords, just basic chords in D minor, C and B flat, nothing. too special and I think

everyone

will choose one of these voices like when I showed you G minor B flat or here D minor, so there is always a space between the chords when you switch between one or the other because you just have to move. all the frets to a new position, so there's always a space in between, but the way I like to do it in D minor, did you hear that one more time?

In the same course, you heard that the change from D minor to C was much smoother like that, so This is basically the G shape of a dumb string coming from itself, the G major chord, so this is what I played if I change it to a G chord, this is basically it and I move it up to C, so I'm playing the root note. with my pinky C and index finger bars at the 5th fret on the D G and B strings and I skip the a string and the high E and that's the chord and sometimes it's a lot of fun to play, it's a great way to switch between these chords, so this way we can hold down the seek position with our index finger to create a nice, smooth transition.

You see, it's just a super useful courtship and leacy people rarely use it, so start playing the attitude vocabulary and congratulations, you just became a better guitarist before us. go to the last tip let's quickly talk about how to become a better guitarist if what I've been explaining is going too fast for you or it's over your head I suggest you check out learn to play and practice that's my guitar course that I designed for beginners. from the basics and if you want to know more and go deeper into the topic, the next level playing my second external course will be what you need.

It's a bit more of an intermediate bass course that talks about theory of chord soloing techniques and all sorts of cool stuff. I put my heart and soul into both, so it would be awesome if you checked it out and supported a channel that way anyway. Thanks for the sponsor segment, Paul, let's go to the last tip number 5, so we talked about open chains, right, but that's combined. with open chords because there's a lot we can get out of these simple basic open chord shapes, just slide them up here are some examples so let's start with the D chord which sounds great if you move it to position five for example you'll see, me too Moved to 7, just D shape, move it from 5 to 7 and 4.

It's also a great way to create a course that sounds creepy or strange because it hasn't chosen you super theoretically, but you can know that you can trust again Your ears sound like they are floating, so another great court for this is minor. He can go to position six. Sounds like a file war. We can do the same with E to school. Just grab your cable and slide it up. Look, how fun a minor is. you can choose everything No, so now we have to trust our ears and say Paul, you are going too far, stop this, this is not a good core, oh, and one more thing, I thought it was like when you play a power chord, just one root. and a fifth on the a string which is really fun to slide up and down, also, how good does this guitar sound?

To sum up basically every open chord, there is a cool place where you can play it and it sounds cool, moody and awesome for everyday use and you can't be too generous with it, just put it on everything, so if one of these tips can help you get a better guitarist, just give it back a little by gently pressing the like button, it means a lot to you.
