- Sunday vaults! Enjoy one of my popular videos from times gone past. I've been discussing chord tricks in recent videos but have yet to do the D chord. It reminded me of this video I did a while back and this is one of the best lessons I ever had on guitar from a pro musician who knew a thing or two! Enjoy

That intro 🤢🤮
Bye bye
The C# when on the D major in the key of G doesn’t sound as good as a C would. If you’re using a seventh it should be the seventh in the harmonization of that key.
This is an older video before I started getting views but thought it was a goodie so wanted to share. Enjoy!
Thank you. I’ve watched loads of videos on CZcams and I swear yours are the most helpful. You show exactly what you are doing with the notes / shapes / chords and I really appreciate that as a person who hasn’t played in years.

It's really good!
That D chord shape has been a staple up and down the neck in my soloing licks for years. Self taught from just playing the thing, but I am amazed I know stuff without being taught it. Just figuring things out over the decades. Everyone should play even just for fun.
I think music instrument is a sport. It gets tiring after a while, requires technique and resilience. You can also pretty much do it anywhere, with battery power options now.
Everyone on this page is at a different stage of development.
@@ThundermuscleI’m sure. I just kind of wish now that I took lessons growing up as I didn’t have anyone to learn from, and had to figure stuff out. I’m sure I’d be a much better player than I am now. Can’t underestimate simply playing with others and gleaning even little bits from others. But it’s been 40 years of trial and error for me.
@@rumblehat4357On the other hand, you style is your own, and owes nothing to anyone.
I never wanted to sound like Hendrix or Clapton, I always wanted to sound like me, and I do.
Plus, I have a much better D chord secret.
But it's no longer a secret once revealed, so I won't, but I will share something people overlook: Rootless Chords Rock!

I am a beginner guitarist and I have not come across this before. I enjoyed the lesson, Thank you Tony
If you followed all of this you are no longer a beginner. Congrats 🎊🍾🎉
Great tutorial! Used some bits before, but never ambraced the possibilities up and down the neck, thank you so much, Tony.
I am English and have had the pleasure of getting to know some Polish people. We went to Poland for her wedding and have been in contact ever since. Absolute delight. I only have a tiny bit of Polish in my old memory , but for today's gem of a video, dziękuję bardzo. Every happiness for you and your wife to be.
Great job, Tony! Your lessons are easy to understand, which really helps guitarists better grasp the mysteries of the fretboard! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I stopped a third of the way through because that much of what you said made enough sense to do me for some time. Fy I've played guitar for over 2 decades, I know the triad formation and how to make chords up and down the fretboard with ease. I can also play scales and have done similar exercises. I never, however, linked them with the triads. I'm now kicking myself because that amount alone has opened up a world of improvisation which is simple and easy to remember.
This is a fabulous tutorial. I'm so impressed with the clear description you give to EVERYTHING. I'm not a big guitar solo sort of person myself, but I found the information enlightening for even those who basically play "rhythm" guitar like me. Great stuff!
Ditto! And I love so many songs in D, so finding this fabulous!
Thanks Tony! Nice tip. I appreciate much
It would be great Tony if you showed pictures of the main patterns.
From the title I thought this was going to be another video showing D chord turned to sus2 and sus4 but was very pleasantly surprised. Really well done how you went from a very simple scale pattern to by the end improvising a nice solo. Cheers!
Excellent. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Best tutorial I've watched so far!
Very wise the D chord Secret my friend. That kind of opened a whole new road on my guitar
playing process. Thank you. For me, it was a very important tip that I can use in any other chord. Thank again and may God bless you richly for helping His child.
This was a GREAT lesson! Really helped me understand how to use triads to play all over the neck. Love the way you teach! Look forward to your A and E lessons as well.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks man
The D chord is the daddy of all chords ,its relatively easy to fret for beginners and with your system does open up the whole fretboard . Great lesson Tony.
Aw thanks man!
New to me. It helped me start to open up to what the neck can do. Many thanks!
That was fun Tony! Thanks !
I’ve been playing about five decades now and I’m still learning es things .. Love it. ❤
That's fantastic! Keep up the great work, my friend! Thanks for watching!
very helpful Thanks
I enjoyed the class, it bought it all together for me. Thanks
Thanks man! Love to hear that!
Happy paddy's day. It's time to show off all these new licks and party tricks 😎. I'll be back for this lesson when the guineas wear off. Thanks in advance, Tony 🍺🍻🍾
Fuck paddy day
Haha hope you sobered up and managed to lay down some Jamz!
Yeah, I had a blast. My guitar buddies all subscribed to your channel. Great lesson 👍
Thanks..Very helpful navigating the fretboard for Solo fun!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Keep shredding and having fun with those solos!
Great lesson Tony!
Excellent Lesson!
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your tips. I started playing 3 months ago and I really enjoy the blues. I'm finding everything you're sharing useful. It opens things up for my mind to better understand the guitar.
So happy to help brother 🤘 keep at it 🎸🎸🎸
Nobody enjoys the blues...
Its CAGED, for years i only thought it applied to C but learned CAGED applied to all the open chords played up the neck.
Yup, you got it!
It’s CAGED which is the key to unlocking the neck. Here’s how to improve it: first, start on E for EDCAG; second, turn them all into Dominant 7 chords; third, associate those chords with this altered Minor Pentatonic scale of 1-b3/3-4-5-b7.
Play E7 at 6 places on the neck. Open position and at the 12th fret using the E7 shape. Play the minor pentatonic scale BUT with the added 3 to make it MATCH THE CHORD. Always go up from b3 to 3, never down. You want to always move that b3 UP into a Dominant 7 chord tone (1-3-5-b7).
Now play D7 shape but up 2 frets, the C7 shape between frets 5-7, the A7 shape between frets 7-9, and the G7 shape between frets 9-12.
So now you can play that E7 chord in 6 locations using the 5 EDCAG-7 shapes.
There are 5 Minor Pentatonic boxes to be associated to those chords. You must find all the b3’s, the G notes, within those boxes, and play upwards into 3, the G# notes.
You must get it so that you can play all of those chords, arpeggiate (1-3-5-b7) all of those chords, and then play 1-b3/3-4-5-b7 over all of those chords.
- Later, expand that new scale into Mixolydian (1-2-3-4-5-6-b7) plus the Blues scale (1-b3-4-b5-5-b7) for this: 1-2-b3/3-4-b5-5-6-b7. That’s 9 out of 12 notes, and leaves only b2-b6-7 and even they can eventually be used in chromatic lines on your way to “safe” notes.
It took me about 60 years to get to this understanding, and that’s after Jazz college and years of live playing.
Every day, jam along to Blues tunes in the key of E. To those E7/A7/B7 chords, apply this knowledge. Later, move to all other keys. Good luck!
One day I will study what you wrote, but today is not that day. Thanks for sharing though!
I think there's wisdom in this comment. I will follow your guide and thank-you
Great lesson. I just learned a lot. SUBSCRIBED!
I had accidentally figured it out. You were able to describe it well. Nice refresh, great tool.
Cool, thanks, man!
Good stuff. Thanks!
Thank you.
Nice lesson - always good to be reminded of these ideas
Thanks, man! Glad you liked it!
Excellently clear and simple to follow, mate :) I reckon I shall have to dig a bit into your 'catalogue' :salute:
clear and simple, makes sense. nice hat too. :)
This is great Tony thanks so much
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! 😀🎸
Great stuff Tony 😊
Thanks! :)
Great thanks
Definitely intermediate lesson. Really helps me explore the major more
Great to hear my friend!
Excelente explicación
Thank you. God bless
Same to you!
Amazing…….just finished a video where Kenny Vaughn was utilizing an exact version of this technique. I would never have connected the basics. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! That’s really cool
Man
Thanks man!!❤️🎸
You’re welcome my friend
Nice job Ireland!!
Good stuff, thanks and greetings from Pinole, California.
Thanks for watching!
This is excellent. Watching the Guitarist playing lead I initially thought, 'no way'...lol. However, the way you explained it Tony I thought...'Yeah, I could do that with a bit of practice' which was really, really helpful..Thanks.
Excellent, thanks
You are welcome!
Splendid intro. Love it
Haha yeah that was fun :)
Good info here and I'll enhance it a bit. I use the A shape and if you take it to the 9th fret tò get to E, you can start with your finger on the G string and play that note and then go to the B string on the 8th fret followed by the B string on the 10th fret. Once you play the three notes and staŕt using what I caĺl the two fret rule, moving on those three notes (since the one note drop is taken care of, from when you understand that in tuning the guitar, every string is 5 nòtes/frets except the B string) so that when you tune your guitar, you'll be able to play the 5th fret on the E/6th string and you'll be playing an A note and that repeats, until the 2nd/B string which is one note down from the 5th fret to which you can play the 4th fret on the G string and find the B note/string and then on the B string, you're back to playing the 5th fret on the B string to find the E/1st string. When you use the A shape any where ànd play the notes I mentioned above, you can start searching, using the G as a location and then the B string is one fret lower, you'll see the two fret rule works on all the strings. This method will take you little to understand but you'll like it when used with the lesson displayed here. I'm not a big "scale" guy so try adding what I've posted along with the lesson here.
Good luck
I will have to try that! Thanks!
Always good content Tony. And nope, never practiced this. So tomorrow I will. Beautiful guitar too. Thanks man 🍻
Aw thanks man! That makes
Me happy :)
I am enjoying the content. I noticed that you were picking down on the step 2. Should I be practicing this way or up and down as I do on the mandolin? It is hard to get myself only picking down. Thanks
Nice job. Thanks
No problem 👍
reminds me of bagpipes. and AC/DC
Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Simple but awesome, what effects are you using to get the sound?
Hi Tony! I left a comment on your backing track video linked to this one. When listening to the backing track i can hear the kick drum, the snare and the cymbals. Could you please do a easy video describing the counting and the down beat and up beat and how it relates to the guitar. I know when someone writes a piece of music they might go 1 e and ah, 2 e and ah, etc. But im pretty sure the guitarist is counting like that in their head, they are listening to the drummers drum beat. Just wanting to know the relationship between the two of them( guitar and drums). Also...... how the bass ties into the drums beat. I also have a crappy time trying to do the open C chord. My fingers keep muting some of the strings :( which arent suppose to be muted but played open. Just wondering about the best hand position on the neck! If you could do a mini series on this that would be awesome! Thank you!
Apologies I missed the original posting and viewed it a day later..... Thank you for connecting the dots for us.
No worries! Thanks for watching amigo
Thanks its all adding up
Great!
Thank you from St Louis . Mo.
Thanks!
Thanks for the support, man! :)
Your intro has a Flight of the Concords vibe. Love it!
Haha yeah man! That’s a great compliment! Love them! Business time baby!
I stopped, liked, and subscribed immediately simply as I love listening to your voice.
Haha well thank you! Glad you can understand me 😂🏴🤗
This is pretty cool stuff. . !! New to me. . . Thanks for sharing. . .
Got lost in a hurry, but I'm sure it was me. Thanks for your time and effort!
BEAUTIFUL GUITAR! But what wood is on the fretboard? My $1900 Fender Strat HSS (American made) from 15yrs ago is a dark rosewood, but it sure isn't pretty like this one. ANY IDEAS?
This is brilliant, it instantly clicked for me
good lesson brother
Do you have one on the beaty of splashing the 4th note here and there?
I'm going to give it a try...let you know
It’s just like big country all over again.
Freedom 🏴
😂😂😂😂
Congrats on the upcoming wedding! Ask here to make you some pirogies! They are delicious! I dated a Polish girl and they only spoke Polish. I was lost but I sure did like the food,,,,and her 😅.
😊 Touching on TL's Whiskey in the Jar.....
Thank you Tony, great vid. Gotta get practicing. Thank you again Peace
Thanks man! 🤘
Nice one.
New to me thank-you
Tq much help☺️
Happy to help!
BIG ANT... U HAD A GR8 LOOKIN SYSTEM... PLEASE LOOSE Da HAT... OCCASIONALLY... ALL GD M8... PLEASE KEEPEM COMMIN... WE ARE ALL WITH YOU... U Da MAN...
Every day is a learning day mad looking bak when i could nae play 30 yesrs ago crazy am only 46 wohoo class wee licks
Yup do it all the time…good stuff.
Works with them all--the major and minor chords that is. The frets are 1 fret=one semi or full step up or down the scale.. so at the nut the tones are open chords..if you start at the nut, you start on an open note. Move one fret higher, a semi-tone is created. The musical scale has full tones [two frets] btw every graduation, except btw B&C AND E & F.. for example, a C7 chord moved up the scale two frets becomes a D7 and so on progressing across the full fretboard. Two more frets higher=E7, but then as no semi tone btw E &F the next graduation up the scale is on the NEXT fret instead of two frets higher, Same when you reach the B& C a full octave higher that the original C chord at the nut.
I have a problem explaining that to everyone, so I just hope it helps anyone to shorten their guitar experience that can decipher my bad teaching that took me decades to learn basically on my own devices.
I loved the video and I do have the same approach.
In my experience as both a Musician and a programmer I can give you few examples.
If you have to think you're not doing it right.
You have programmes that run on interpreter and other are compiled the compiled ones are much faster and more efficient.
A footballer, when he plays and two attackers in front of him, he's not going to pause and think what to do, so what is the secret?
Instead of training your brain to remember what you can do, export your brains to your fingers or to your feet and let them think for themselves.
Many people do it backward, and this is why you have efficiently accurate and faster players than others, and the most important thing, is not to play fast, to shred etc... it can come in handy yes, but what is important is to be able to create nice, sweet melodic solos and guitar riffs, the human brain can only take a certain amount of information at ones, so shredding for 15 minutes, the audience will either get bored or restless, they need to hear something they can enjoy and digest.
Watch all the great guitar players, they stick to this method, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Richie Sambora, and many more are all sticking to this fundamental rule. Remember the best and timeless solos are simple, and melodic. It is not the speed that matters.
I hope this will help someone somewhere sometime.. Excellent video bro,
Merci for this video. Very easy to understand, even with your heavy Texas accent.
😂😂 thank yall kindly
Two bottles of Irn Bru and a Tunnock's Wafer and everybody sounds Texan!
Cool
👍 for the dialect I 😊
Do you have tabs for this lesson thx
Great lessons but I've been sitting here for 20 mins on 50% speed trying to get step 3. Tabs would make this 10x easier
Nice improvisation - sounds like it has a Scottish flair to it. I wonder why 😄
There's something about the backing track and the first scale based solo that makes me think Christmas song. I have no idea why.
You can kinda hum Jungle Bells to it I guess :)
I knew it!
I haven't seen it taught this way, but if you understand CAGED and know the pentatonic shapes, then this is recognizable as a small part of that.
Good Video what about the Rugby ! The Irish Were Great , But the Scots yesterday were brillant . Just Lilke the Music its all about playing…
Funny I m self taught mostly .been sliding that D cowboy chord forever
Thank god CZcams's closed caption translated this video to English,.
was that friend Stuart Adamson ( God Bless )
liked and subscribes .
Great to see that the wife has you banished to the attic room like me 😁
Hahahaha!
This method is pretty much The solo in Nov Rain
👍
I think this is the first time I have seen you with an electric guitar! Btw the instriction for the first lick is wrong at 6:46. You say and play 8th Fret on the second string when all the other times you play 7th fret on the first string. Other than that slightly confusing bt it's a great video.
Thanks man! I make those mistakes all the time 😂 brain farts I call them
