I don't see the point of this, for peoples learning this would be really confusing. None of the chords are outlined in regards to what key they are in. A major and B major would be in E but alot of the other chords are irrelevant if that's the case. They are not diatonically connected. Placing chords in an alphabet system makes no sense

Having studied your excellent chord course & PDFs, it would be fantastic if you could create a link to the original upload for generating new subs. YT Shorts is a great way to gently introduce potential punters to this amazing resource. 👍

Thanks for the post. Why was the chord shape changed between the F & G and C#m to Dm. Keeping the shape consistent would be easier for your beginner audience to understand.

[MrFrankqu]

The some kinda A=F#m, B=G#m, C=Am, D=Bm, E=C#m, F=Dm, G=Em!

[Numocron]

Wow this looks interesting. Thanks.😃👍❤️

[theginge.]

Omg youve just explained to my adhd mind in such an easier way ❤❤life saver

[jamesrozich]

why did you choose these chords, like c#m is the same shape as cm just a fret down? genuinely curious trying to learn no hate 🙏🏻

[laurinewman]

Good, but like you to play them.
Essy chords if csn do bar chords. ❤

[CapuletLeGrand]

why insert the sharps in the minor chords? Thqt's probably confusing to someone new to chords...

[daever]

I don't understand why these major and minor chords were chosen? there's no Bflat? which is most common key for a blues. Seems like these are kind of random, but maybe I am missing something!

[AidenLauderman]

How do you play an F chord. I’ve been searching for an hour and can’t find it. The picture doesn’t quite help me understand how to play it

[sheis]

As a beginner I’m completely confused 😮

[dj_cawlin]

Hey man thanks for the lessons, dont listen to the people who are saying this is useless. This can be useful for alot of beginners! ❤

[iamnotpaulavery]

I don't see any connection between C major and C# minor...how are they similar? How are they similar if they don't share any notes? Or am I reading this wrong? I imagine every dot is where you place a finger, correct? _This is why my friend plays rhythm and I sing and play solos!_ Everything I know is what I've learned by playing by ear.
Also, can you play an A major chord with one finger, B major with two?
BTW, I have an uncle who is amazing at playing classical guitar. He is truly gifted. (I get my musical acumen from my father's side and learned to play the trumpet, baritone and trombone in elementary through HS band) But, my uncle has absolutely zero patience and if I ask one question he goes ballistic. He just yells "watch me and do what I do"! And shakes his crooked finger at me! LOL! But I want to know WHY he does what he does! _I want to know how to play a note and create a chord around that note. That's what I would really like to learn._

I think it is better to show people where in that shape the root, the third and fifth are located because then they can manipulate the third to make major minor, alter it with a #5, the list goes on...

[FrN_Neel]

Please give me the chart of the chords
