This might not be the best time to make money off music but it's by far the best time to enjoy music... I don't even need to buy an instrument or have a music teacher, I can find everything I need online to listen, create, share, and most importantly, learn. Sorry if this sounds odd but thank you for sharing what you know.

Great tips! Your vids are always helpful 🤘🤘

[twobarsfourstars]

This is a great help, thank you!! After hearing you mention a lot of these (especially inversions) it’s super helpful to have this for reference now. Appreciate the lesson!

Love heart attack man, knew this was gonna be a good video as soon as I saw the intro!

[DDSPYDR]

I just found out that I love slash chords

[samson]

Thanks. Fantastic video. As a quick thought, the slash chord in major can be played on positions 7 and 3. On position 1 its a major 7 with a 7 in the bass note (757) and on position 3 its like 3/4 chord (343). In minor, the slash chord can played on positions 1 and 2 where its a (141) chord and a (242) type of chord.

Nice video! What was the song used in the intro?

[senseisharktv]

Joining a pop punk band soon aha 😅 just gonna save this to my playlist

[aninjatuna]

What songs did you use to demo slash chords?

[NickDeMolayMusic]

Someone please help I don't know the song from the intro name

[samson]

Do you also play major 2nd type power chords where you switch the higher octave note for a 2nd? Would be easier to play in drop d tuning. Or asked differently, is that type of chord used in punk song to your knowledge?

[MetropolitanTransitEX]

could the style you did be useful when i use it for songs i write?

[jonnylawless]

Throwing in a diminished chord for the seventh is really interesting

[augustofsouza]

Do you have charts of type of chords on your patreon?

[tuesday]

this is also useful for writing weezer songs :)

[justinTime]

I fucking Love say anything … I found them because Tom did nibble nibble with Max and I was like whoa where ya been all my life beem dawg

[ДенисМартыненко-щг]

I almost always play barre chords like these in video and I try to don't play power chords.
