Love this video. Short, sweet, concise, to the point. No "put this finger on this string at this fret, this finger on the string on this fret, etc". And no detailing of your "musical journey".

there's something about playing only on the low strings that adds a lot of emotion to chords

What's crazy to me is how much shoegaze I hear in grunge. Loved grunge growing up, just discovered shoegaze and it's the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

I accidentally discovered shoegaze chords myself and I can’t stop playing with them 🗿

The a string maj9 chord is my absolute favorite chord and shape it's so wonderful to play! Awesome video!

[Aiikolo]

So helpful thank you! I just started a shoegaze band with my friends and I’m the rhythm guitarist I was very stuck on a progression as I couldn’t find a chord which flowed nicely with the previous. Luckily I found this video :) you literally helped me write my first ever song thank you

[tallgremlin]

Dang this video is awesome. I’m a rhythm guitarist and seeing these chords helps me find more chords to learn to play. Awesome job

My gf introduced me to shoegaze and I love it. As a jazz guitarist, the chord shapes are super similar

[lhmyhkz]

Awesome that so many ambient, jazz, neo-soul/r&b, math-rock, cuban son and bossa chord progressions are quite similar to shoegaze. The big difference lies in rhythms and metrics👌🏽
