The Best 5 Minutes You’ll Spend Learning Guitar

I think a lot of people are missing the point of the 4 shapes concept. In the beginning he explains they are move-able.( As in you only need to learn 4 total shapes and move up and down to the root note you're after). If you know the chord progression of a given song, one of these shapes will give you the vibe you're after for each root note....same concept as barre chords just takes up less musical space in a group setting and makes you sound more advanced.Hope this makes sense.

I have the same SG.

Yo @PaulDavids - that outro was fire. I learned a lot here, thank you!!! ❤

I love these dudes, and fully respect what they bring to the guitar world. At the same time though, I don't get it. This all sounds like a particular style, and I have no idea how this would be applied to something like "Crazy Train", "I Believe in a Thing Called Love", or "Sweet Home Alabama". I feel like this is being presented as "hey, play any song!" but these chores aren't in all songs.

After 20+ years of playing, i wish my jazz wizard guitar teacher would have explained this in year 3. I was always intimidated exaclty as sivan says by those weird cm7#9-11 or whatever, had no clue what was really going on in those jazz standards. Im very frustrated and relieved at the same time! Thanks so much for this!!

Who are these bizarre bots coordinated comment of couched hostile like a smug inside joke like you all came in on the same death bus

Thank you fellas im gona try it after work today been playing way to long and not learning enough lol

3 years of music theory. Degree in guitar and music. I have never once thought about it while playing or writing. 47 years. I hear thinking.

So with these 4 chords you can play any song. Everything in 5 minutes. These guys ....

12min vid for 5mins of learning 🤔

The comments here were the real lesson, I’ve learned so much from the comments my head about to explode.

Thanks guys. This was awesome. Can finally play Autumn Leaves using these shapes.Great stuff!

Hi Paul! Can you share the specs on your stratocaster? What color is that?

cool. thanks for the lesson

Not sure to understand… if you have a song that use an Am, would you replace it by an Am7?? To me it is jot the same song anymore. Am I wrong?

5 mins: the average time 99 percent of players figure out they’ll play stadiums in their wildest dreams 😮

Heard Cmaj7 and recognized "If I Ain’t Got You" by Alicia Keys instantly. Naturally my fingers followed Bm7, Am7, Gmaj7, song learned right away! Not even sure if those are the chords, sounds like it, thanks!

This was very helpful. Im a beginner struggling advancing from basic open chords by struggling with barre chords. This is more advanced, easier and the end goal of how I want to play anyway. Shell chords sound so much better than standard triads. Thanks I got something I can work on. The 1 tab /chord a time and the him teaching you format worked really well for me.

whats the difference to tiny chords? also summertime used a cuple of other positionings right?

Thanks guys 😅

Deftones: I think about you all the time

May I ask, that SG did you remove the binding and shave the neck? Or did it come that way?

If every 5 minute interval in my life actually took this long, then I'd be dead already.😵
