One word for this video "SMOOTH"

[ag-bkwf]

My finger positioning still need to improve before this will work.

I didn't start playing till I was in my 40's and even though I've been playing for about 9 years now there's so much to know and learn. You have really good, informative videos and you're a natural teacher. I really appreciate you putting your knowledge out there for people like me to pick up on. You definitely got a new subscriber bro. Thanks for what you do.

awesome video! :) ... as a guitar teacher, i've been teaching this "empty chord" tip at my lessons for so many years with great success, so i can confirm that it actually works and helps the students... but i would add one more little thing: when changing between any 2 chords, if there are some fingers that are common to both chords, then you should not lift those fingers at the "empty chord" part... for example: when changing from G to D, or D to G (like in this video), notice that the 3rd finger plays the B-string 3rd fret in both chords, so you should leave the 3rd finger where it is, and only lift the other fingers... so yep, on the "empty chord", you will fret the B-string, but all the other strings will be open... another example: when changing from Am to C (or C to Am), only lift the 3rd finger on the "empty chord", and leave the 1st and 2nd fingers where they are (on the B and D strings, respectively)... in general: always look for any similarities between the 2 chords you're changing, and use them to your advantage, so that you can reach the next chord effectively, with as minimal movement as possible... it also means staying close to the fretboard, and not let your fingers "fly away" too far during the "empty chord" part... alright, that's it, i hope this helps at least a few people :)

Pre-beginner here - I've watched a number of beginner videos to help me get started, and you're the first to pinpoint this issue so clearly. Your point at 03:30, that the right hand should keep going, no matter what, meaning in the beginning you can afford to rather lose a little quality in sound, but not in the rhythm, to facilitate the left hand changing chords, is the key to this - no one can focus on 2 separate hands at the same time (at least not in the beginning), so to make the right hand constant, and using the last strum to allow you to focus only on the left hand in that moment, is exactly what a beginner needs to do. In time I'm sure it will auto adjust. Thanks for this excellent video !

This is a really important lesson for beginners. It's something that is often overlooked
by teachers. If you were a bus driver, you'd need to get to the next stop on time and in
time to keep your route regular so folks could count on you for that. It's the same
when playing a song. You need to get to the next place on your fret board on time
and in time. And it should be a smooth ride, not a bumpy one on the bus. Changing
chords is the same thing. You need to get to the next one at the right time and in a
smooth manner so the song doesn't sound jerky or mechanical. I talk to beginner
students about this all the time and your vid is very helpful. There is a strong phy-
sical component to playing guitar and it's the coordination of both hands, along
with muscle memory. This is part of that component. Well done!

The great thing about your teaching is making complicated things simple to learn.

[stevengalloway]

Wow...been taking online lessons for years and none of them have ever mentioned this. It makes changing chords muss less stressful and still sounds beautiful, thank you so much!

[pauldentler]

I discovered this by accident when learning to play John Denver's Rocky Mountain High, but until I watched your video explaining WHY this sounded so good when I'm doing that song I would still today be trying to figure out what I learned from learning my favorite of all time song. RIP John.

Good advice for beginners. Thanks a lot in their name. Nice teacher, very dynamic and friendly. You have a very natural way of teaching and inspire to be a devoted teacher as well, since it happens that I have to teach and learn a at church group for childre . I’m subscribing to this channel. Saludos from El Salvador.

been playing acoustic for 10 yrs, still i ve got something to learn from Steve. Thank You!

[sarahhoffmann]

After this video i tried for the First time to actually play the song I'm trying to learn! It's still slow and a little awkward but it's better than i expected. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[thesameboyyouvealwaysknown]

I'm glad to know it was okay to do this, like many in the comments, I thought this sounded really wrong and bad and so I was looking for a video that could teach me a method where I wouldn't have to do this. But knowing it's okay to do it makes me feel so much better about my guitar skills (which are terrible still...)

[oronk]

Thank you so much! I would have spent ages figuring this out by myself.

[storminviper]

Your tutorial by far makes more sense than most I have seen. Great job on talking to not talking down

[oliverqueen]

The first song I ever learned on guitar was Turn the Page by Bob Seger and I did this trick on accident and didn't realize it, I'm glad I found this video, now I realize I was doing it and can teach it to my friends

[AnIolar]

Viewed this about six months ago as a beginner and it's probably the best tip ever. Using it all the time now without thinking about it. The best part is that the strum with the fingers in transit sounds great and even embellishes some of the chord changes. Thanks for that!

[rishimaharshi]

this guy has gave me key of my fault on guitar
because i was struggling by this chord changing

thanks
