Lesson Description:
This week's chord voicings guitar lesson is one of my favorites so far. No drills or memorization, just a fun way to explore the fretboard and follow your curiosity. You'll realize how much control you have over chord voicings, guitar theory, and options for progressions. Check out how I use simple fretboard logic to start with a few basic chord shapes and find fresh chord voicings for those all over the guitar. If teaching you a chord by showing you a chord diagram is giving you fish, then this lesson is teaching you how to fish by teaching you how to find your own chord voicings. Guitar exercises like these are SO fun because you can follow your own path. Definitely take some time to play with this approach. Once it clicks it will permanently change how you see and navigate the fretboard.

Please follow me on your preferred social media channels:

Chord voicings, guitar chord shapes, inversions, and chords themselves are all defined in this video and explained as to how they are different. I hope you enjoy finding your own chord voicings after this by starting with any chord you already know and moving it around on the guitar with this method.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)

One of the most under-rated guitar teachers out there.

Thank YOU so much sir. You are blowing my mind with knowledge I thought was unachievable. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

[jeffvanspaendonk]

A great teacher and super lessons ! Thank you, Jeff / The Netherlands

[desmneylon]

Great material. Really shines a light into some dark corners of the fretboard. Brilliant!

[rexbenemerito]

Thanks for sharing your talent and useful tips. God Bless you bro.

[davidlegalley]

A lot to explore, but a lot of freedom on the fretboard potential! Thank you.

[wendellray]

This is my favorite video you have up! Thanks for creating this. Can you dive deeper into this topic and cover other kinds of chord inversions. Thanks again!

[ChowdMusic]

Another superb lesson, Jared. Such an interesting way to think about chords/voicings. This is truly unlocking the fretboard. Thanks!

[dannyluneberg]

Hey Jared! First of all thank you very much. I’m an advanced player but always learn something new on your videos!

You talked about making a video about which chords would lead to which other chord. Did you do it already? I’m so happy to finally found somebody who could explain that to me, always asked myself that.

Cheers from Germany!

Everyone that has the ability should purchase Jared's Courses...He is an amazing teacher.. and has the unique ability to succinctly boil it down and disseminate the needed information..I am Impressed with his teaching style, best money i have ever spent on lessons...

[freddielerma]

Jared thank you for the chord chart. I'm an older new guitar player. The other day, a buddy and I were playing our guitars, learning to play with each other and he asked, "How come our sound together doesn't sound so good?" He was correct. We sounded awful. This video identified that we were playing the same chords. I know now, that's not going to work. Thank you very much for this lesson.

[engindenizz]

Glad I found you, this could be the most helpful and inspiring video i came across in youtube.
Thank you for the lesson sir..

[Wilyam-]

Thank you brother...🙏
Beautiful lesson...❤❤

[scrapkingfilms]

Jared, this is another great tutorial. The animated movements as you shift the roots and intervals in real-time is a great system for chord building. Even better is that you also include unplayable chords AND add in the way these resolve to each other. All that ear and hands-on “theory” is a great way to really build upon the basic voicings we all learn. Having learned theory much later in my musical life, it’s amazing to see a teacher like yourself putting this instruction together.

[GoneGoner]

I feel this is a video that needs to be watched 10 times and just take time to time practice new voicings. Really interesting material indeed :)

[miketang]

Great 🎶 tip. Play the fretboard like a keyboard. Flexible thinking and endless creative chord voicing. 👍👍👏👏

[LuisOtavio-roqk]

I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm enjoying it big time, Hugs from Brazil

[Crablemet]

Damn now I KNOW why they made me learn all the chord degrees and how to identify them also why they made me learn about voice leading. This just connected some concepts I never even knew were useful
Good job

[harishnaik]

Thank you so much Sir.
After long time I found the perfect teacher for Accoustic
It's very helpful

[michaelt]
