@@Studio33guitar I haven't watched any of your videos (And I will watch because your channel interesting) so I don't know if these videos are there but I recommend you do finger exercises videos or tips about how to keep being motivated to keep playing the guitar or even some tips about how to avoid pain while you playing the guitar like Back pain, fingers, static electricity, fatigue, etc. My pinky finger always hurts when I play with her.
I just completed this chord progression today after buying my guitar 2 weeks ago (I am left-handed player). I found the move from e minor to d the hardest, my ring finger kept brushing the bottom string! But now I finally got it. Thanks
@@Studio33guitar It's going well! I try to practice a little each day, even if it's only for 10 minutes. Recently I am learning Bob Dylan's 'Mr tambourine man'😁
@@Joeonline26 That's great! A little bit every day is better than a big chunk once in a while. Keep it up! Speaking of Bob Dylan, I teach Knockin on Heavens door in one of my videos. Have you learned that one?
Troy does a really good job explaining how you play these 4 basic (but important) chords. In addition, his demonstration on where to place your fingers on the fretboard of the guitar helps considerably when it comes to putting it all together...continue on, Troy!
Wow this was an amazing tutorial on changing from a C to a G!! I had just about given up. My older hands makes it difficult to stretch to the C. This alternative was just so easy to play and change.I practiced this change and immediately my wife said you are really improving! This was the first video of Studio 33 I've seen. Truly thank-you .
@@Studio33guitar I'm embarrassed to say 5 yrs. But I can never get past the cowboy chords in any guitar beginner course. It feels so good to be able to fly through these changes. It really gives me hope to be able to now play a song? Do you have a suggestion of your tutorials? Also I read in an interview with Steve Lukather, where he said something to the fact only when he could confidently change chords did he feel he could be a guitar player. Thanks again
Steve Lukather is one of the greats! I’m glad you found this video helpful. I have a lot of song tutorials that use these chords. You can find them on the channel. If you want a really fun one that move beyond the cowboy chords, you should try my lesson on Wanted Dead or Alive! czcams.com/video/rgKERdekWbE/video.html
there are many good players on YT but only a few are able to teach in such a fantastic way like you. as a beginner i have to say , it is so nesessary it is not so fast , it is clear, one can see where your fingers are and not a bunch of fingers one cannot see which one is pressed.besides great light, great camera ! thank you so much !
This is made to be more complicated than it really is ! You will be able to change chords no matter what the fingering is that you learned . PRACTICE is the key !
I agree to an extent . You have to know who this video is targeting. I've moved past learning chords and I understand where you are coming from but as a beginner I would have loved these small tricks to smoothen out transitions.
Their is so much in guitar to learn . We all gravitate to the music we like so learn to play just that . Not many people have all aspects of music . Learn what you like !
Thanks for taking the time to make this easy to learn video, I'm in my 50's and just now picking up my 50 year old guitar! It's hard to get my fingers to cooperate, bend and push down! I hope it gets easier, thanks for being so calm and easy to listen to!
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you found it helpful. It’s true, it is harder to learn as we get older but you can do it! The biggest thing to remember is your hands/ fingers have gone over 50 years not being asked to do what you’re asking of them now. It’s going to take time. But stick with it and it WILL get easier! I promise. Many people give up after a few months. If you can get over that hump you’ll make it! I have a series of videos for the absolute beginner that you would probably find helpful. Check it out, the first one is called “Your very first guitar lesson” which you can find by clicking on my channel videos
Thank you so much for making it simple. I’ve been learning the guitar over a month. When I stumbled across your CZcams channel, I learned more this one time than I did in a month. Thank thank thank. THE MOST HIGH GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS AWESOME🙏🏽🙌🏽💪🏽❤️

And then you're Showing me different ways to do the same chord. I needed it to learn the 4 chords without the variations. When you added the variations in there, then it was too much for me.

When playing G major your ring finger is in the E string 3rd fret. Your middle finger is on the A string 5th fret and the pinky is on the high E 3rd fret If you are going to finger pick you need to learn this
Thank You So Much for this video!!! I'm really new to the guitar. I have been looking for this alternate fingering for a couple days now. I did not know the names of the chords, so it took a while to find. I'm going to your website now, to sign up for your lessons. You have a great teaching style. Nice and slow, with explanations.

+Liam Kerr Sorry for the late response. I did not receive a notification of your comment. It does depend on the chords. For the ones in this video, the G chord and E min chord you strum all 6 strings. For the Cadd9, you only strum 5, and the D chord you only strum 4. The video also gives some tips on how to avoid hitting the strings you don't want to strum. Also check out our website for more free lessons and tips www.studio33guitarlessons.com
Ty Sir!! i just watched you video now! amazing i will be goin back over it Again, you move along at a excellent pace for beginners!!excellenttttt pace ty100-100
Very good lesson.Very useful for me as I am a beginner.Please write the names of the chords on the screen as you teach. It will be very useful for the next class
Hello, thanks I have found this very useful. I am plying all 4 chords shown here in a matter of a few days but now I want to be able to play them in a strumming pattern and make a song. :) I have difficulty moving from one string to the next fast enough. Any tips? I thought strumming might help get into a rhythm and build momentum. I came back to see about the link you mentioned in the video but the website isn't working. Would love a strumming pattern to this. Thanks.
Practice, practice, and more practice. There isn't any trick to it, unfortunately. It will come quickly. There are quite a few videos that give various strumming patterns.
Agree with Patrick on your first point. Someone has mentioned REM’s The one I love is a good song, using these 4 chords. Check out chordie.com or ultimateguitar.com for the pattern. You can sing along and use a capo to change the key to suit your voice. That’s a big plus of playing solo. Pretty soon you’ll be posting your own versions of songs. Good luck!
I have a question. I used to take lessons years ago. Just got back into it. The thing is, I got my new acoustic two days ago. My fingers not only hurt, the strings are almost cutting into them. If I don't press to that point, it mutes the strings. I understand sore, but I don't remember it being this painful. Is this normal?
What weight strings are on it? I use medium strings and when I recently picked up someone else’s guitar I was amazed at how painfully his heavier strings were digging Into my fingers!
Lindsay Presley On a lot of beginner level guitars I’ve noticed the the action is really high. Which means you have to press harder on the strings to get a clear sound. You can take it to most music shops and have the action lowered. It makes a huge difference. The pain in your fingertips is a good thing, you’ll see
Lindsay Presley While you are at the guitar shop asking these same questions, play a few of the better quality guitars. Figure out a way to own one. Then Have an electronic metronome in your ear. dial it in at 120 bpm, as a starting point. Play C and E- and only match your strumming with the beat. And only change chords on the beat. Speed it up or slow it down. But always on the beat. That way you won’t drive people crazy while learning. You will love the sounds and develop timing and people will listen to the the beat.... as long as it is an even beat. By now your blistered fingers have probably callused.
One week into trying to learn guitar, really like your explanation..my big problem is my fingertips are sore and I can’t hold the notes very long, and my fingers don’t want to go where my brain is telling them to go,I need my fingers and wrist to get more flexible. I’m going to focus on your technique for a couple of weeks before I try more cords.
I can't put enough pressure on all 4 of the fingers when playing the e minor 7 chord...I'm a beginner,this is my first chord ever, but unfortunately I'm still not getting the hang of it... Does it get easier? You're so sweet btw
Absolutely it gets easier! Remember, you are trying to train your fingers to do something they have not had to do your whole life ! It will take time. Practice and repetition is key! Eventually your strength will build and you will get it. Stick with it! It’s worth it! 😃
@@Studio33guitar About a month. I'm 75 so I've started late. I have many interests but decided that learning guitar is a way to keep my old fuddled brain a bit livelier. I just finished building a Strat copy which is ok enough for a learner. I could have bought one cheaper but that wasn't the point, I wanted a creative process which fits in with my hands-on approach. My eldest son who plays guitar not much better than me recommended going through various YT vids to find someone who caters for the brand new player, and I landed on you. I'm just starting to built up some tough skin on my finger ends which I think will help with better placement on strings as you point out. They still hurt but I'm willing to see it through. I have good dexterity having been a tradesman all my working life, using my hands for fine and course motor movements, and no arthritis, so I assumed this would bode well with nailing down chord shapes etc. It doesn't. I'll need to do finger stretching because I find G major hard on the pinky, and if I place the pinky right, the other fingers wander off somewhere, and I just get a muffled discordant sound. I know with practice this will improve.. Sorry for the rant but it's much harder than I expected even given my age.... I'll follow your vids, and many thanks for taking the time to make them available dude....
Absolutely in Awwwwww of your Killer posts!!!! Obviously im a player's player, so im gonna give Huge props to whoever is behind this, your awesome, the baddest guitars, the coolest Les Paul !!!!! Danny Vegas
Hey! This,was valuable for me. I learned the chords a long time ago but this was helpful b in that you gave the Em7 (which I haven't used much) and the G9. These were little "angles" that I hadn't thought of. Super!
Linda Teuling Great! Glad you found it useful. The Emin7 chord is great and makes the transitions much easier. The G chord shown is still G major, but you might mean the C add9. C9 is actually another chord again (similar, but a little different)
Troy, I don’t hear much of a difference between your alt.Cadd9 chord and the alt G major chord. Is it useful? The difference b/w tradition Cand G is remarkable. Thoughts/
Thank you for the comment Michael. It's true that the difference is not as great because of the common notes. The difference comes from the two lowest bass notes, which don't sound very clear through small speakers. When you strum, make sure you hit the low notes strong enough. How long have you been playing?

So does that Cadd9 have the same sound /tone as the C major chord or is it a little different? Will your songs sound off a little playing the Cadd9?
Sorry for the late reply. The Cadd9 will sound slightly different, but can be used as a substitute 95% of the time.

Absolutely it gets easier! Remember, you are trying to train your fingers to do something they have not had to do your whole life ! It will take time. Practice and repetition is key! Eventually your strength will build and you will get it. Stick with it! It’s worth it! 😃
Heyyyy an update!!
I can now play the e minor 7 chord!!!I'm soo happy omg!
Now I'm aiming for the G chord 💪🥳tysmmm?
Excellent! Good job! Keep it up!

My fingers don't seem capable of stretching that way, especially for my ring finger
Keep working on it! It will get easier!
My 7 year old grandson says the same thing,but I bought him a baby Martin and set the action to make it easier on his fingers. He's learning ;}>
keep practising
Really enjoyed this lesson!
Respect to your tutor skills.

@@Studio33guitar About a month. I'm 75 so I've started late. I have many interests but decided that learning guitar is a way to keep my old fuddled brain a bit livelier. I just finished building a Strat copy which is ok enough for a learner. I could have bought one cheaper but that wasn't the point, I wanted a creative process which fits in with my hands-on approach.
My eldest son who plays guitar not much better than me recommended going through various YT vids to find someone who caters for the brand new player, and I landed on you. I'm just starting to built up some tough skin on my finger ends which I think will help with better placement on strings as you point out. They still hurt but I'm willing to see it through. I have good dexterity having been a tradesman all my working life, using my hands for fine and course motor movements, and no arthritis, so I assumed this would bode well with nailing down chord shapes etc. It doesn't. I'll need to do finger stretching because I find G major hard on the pinky, and if I place the pinky right, the other fingers wander off somewhere, and I just get a muffled discordant sound. I know with practice this will improve..
Sorry for the rant but it's much harder than I expected even given my age....
I'll follow your vids, and many thanks for taking the time to make them available dude....
very good information
Thank you ❤🤟🏽.

@@Studio33guitar just recently, I want to learn more to play better
I am having to re-learn guitar chords, this helps with a big jump!
Great! Thanks for the comment!
Good lesson!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come!
Hey! This,was valuable for me. I learned the chords a long time ago but this was helpful b in that you gave the Em7 (which I haven't used much) and the G9. These were little "angles" that I hadn't thought of. Super!
Linda Teuling Great! Glad you found it useful. The Emin7 chord is great and makes the transitions much easier. The G chord shown is still G major, but you might mean the C add9. C9 is actually another chord again (similar, but a little different)
Yes...Its a goodlesson
Troy, I don’t hear much of a difference between your alt.Cadd9 chord and the alt G major chord. Is it useful? The difference b/w tradition Cand G is remarkable. Thoughts/
Thank you for the comment Michael. It's true that the difference is not as great because of the common notes. The difference comes from the two lowest bass notes, which don't sound very clear through small speakers. When you strum, make sure you hit the low notes strong enough. How long have you been playing?
