Its worth understanding that chords are just groups of notes from a given scale, the scale being the framework and you choosing which notes to use from that scale. Took me a while to get that......

Impressive how 10 minutes of well explained music/theory can change your life.

"More facile" -- your command of the English language is INCREDIBLE

You have no idea how much you've helped my guitar playing, thank you sincerely Paul keep it up dude!

Paul, I've been focusing on theory to improve my playing. This lesson has really flicked on the light. Whether open strings or barchords, it really opened my minds eye to the scale/chord inter-relationship. I'm amazed that it seems so much clearer after seeing your presentation. Really opens the door to a new level. Fantastic! Thanks so much.

These tips help in so many ways!! Great One Paul!

My dude, even as somebody who's played guitar for a while I find your lessons very entertaining and informative. Keep killin it

Thanks Paul. Just the lesson I was looking for!! You've got yourself a new subscriber.

This is simple and fantastic. Amazing what you can do with a little understanding of theory.

Thank you Paul Davids for always explaining things so simply and easily understandable!

I've only been playing 6 weeks, but I've been practicing 4-6 hrs a day everyday. There are millions of other instructor choices to view on youtube, but you are by far the best I have found. If I could only get my pinky finger to move like yours, I'd be in business lol. I love the theory and science of music and how you explain it. Rock on!

Yes, as many other people here I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for your big help to my playing and understanding of this wanderful instrument... Thank you again!

Absolutely perfect. You made this so easy for us! Thank u!

Amazing! Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks for all the knowledge.

This really helps and will help my guitar playing greatly! After playing an open G-scale hammer on, I realized that's exactly the way Oasis played in Champagne Supernova! Thanks a LOT, Paul! 👊👊

I can not express how much I love this channel

How have I been playing this long and never realized that the Em pentatonic contains the same notes as the G pentatonic? Hello? Relative minor? That was huge: thank you so much! This is my favorite of your videos so far: I'm going to be unpacking this for awhile.

Just use the major scale to find the relative minor. It's always the sixth of the scale. Use the major formula TTSTTTS. T = tone which is two steps and S = semi tone which is a step. A step is just one fret up and two steps two frets up. So Cmajor you go C D E F G A B. The sixth note is A so Aminor is the relative minor of C major. Learning this stuff opens up everything.

Not just pentatonic, the entire C major scale uses the same notes as A minor.

Very cool lesson indeed, thanks for sharing Paul 😀🎸

my mind is blown! thank you so much for breaking this down :D

This tip is great, opened my mind!

Paul I am a new subscriber and wanted to tell you I enjoy your channel. It's different from the rest, and much of the video editing and playing is superb.

You have helped me so much ! Thanks !

"the g chord, hammer on the 3rd and 4th strings...and there you have it...you can play the entire soundtrack to brokeback mountain" "...while wearing this denim shirt" Great stuff, man. This is a lot more elusive to people than you'd think. There's nothing quite like seeing the confusion on a first year player's face when you tell them it's not that much of a stretch to play chords and melodies at the same time.

Loved the video. Could you please make a video of hammer-on exercises ?

Excellent Paul, thanks a lot!

I've always found it much more beautiful to add in those little extra hammers and pulls! 👊

I second what Shon said. You are a great teacher.

Hendrix surely open up a lot of stuffs around guitar playing. Bravo Paul!

This is helpful. I'm excited to use this.

Thanks brother,🤘 Practice, practice, practice!

I haven't had a capo for years and my vocalists always need funky keys, so I always just play various chord shapes up and down the neck.

Really helpful tip.

super helpful !! thanks so much

Thank you for this Video. I can really use it!! :)

That's so awesome.. 👍

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull was a master at this kind of embellishment. Mother Goose, Thick as a Brick, and many more. Anderson threw in other nice little techniques too, so copying his guitar work you can learn a lot.

The intro cracked me up.

I laughed because an article had photos of cans from a particular new brand of beer which have these chords on them and encourage you to use part of the pull-tab as a pick.

The music you played from 0:20 - 0:37 I wish I could play exactly the same like you did...That will be enough for me...

Well, sometimes there’s no need to embellish the chords. Or do we have to consider the intro of Wonderwall as boring?
