🎸ABOUT THIS LESSON
Let's talk about an important topic: Chord changes. How to change chords smoothly and how to implement new chords quickly.

In this video, I will give you ten tips on how to improve your chord changes. Some of these tips will be pretty basic and probably familiar to you, but make sure that you stick around. 

I will give you some of my favorite chord change approaches using the fretted notes of the chords along with the circle of fifths.  

The goal is to add more practical steps between learning the chords and playing them. 

We are going to be using two things: The fingerstyle technique and the circle of fifths. 

Practicing the chords with the fingerstyle technique allows you to isolate the notes of a chord, which can't be done with the strumming technique. 

If you are a strummer, you can still practice these exercises and improve your chords.  

The Circle of Fifths is a tool that helps us visualize all the natural and altered notes in a circle. We call it Circle of Fifths because all the notes have a distance of a perfect fifth interval. 

If we start with the natural note C, we can move up a fifth and play the G. From the note G, we can go up a fifth and play the D, etc. 

Once we have all the notes, we can then decide to play each one of them as a major or a minor chord. We will be playing the chords in the order given by this circle. 

The Circle of Fifths is a system that forces us to play chords that don't belong to the same key, which is excellent for developing ear training and muscle memory. 

If you are a beginner, you probably want to practice the chords up to the E major, so you don't have to deal with bar chords, and as you become better, you can slowly move up the circle. 

We have a lot to cover, so let's get started. The first three tips will cover the left-hand technique. From tip four, we will dive into more practical exercises.

1. KEEP THE THUMB DOWN LIKE A CLASSICAL GUITAR PLAYER.
2.KEEP SPACE BETWEEN THE PALM AND BOTTOM NECK.
3. PRESS DOWN WITH YOUR FINGERTIP, NOT YOUR PHALANGES. 
4.LEARN THE CHORDS IN FIFTHS.
5.FOCUS ON THE FRETTED NOTES.
6.MOVE THE CHORDS SYMMETRICALLY.
7.MOVE DIFFERENT SHAPES SYMMETRICALLY.
8.TWO NOTES CHORD.
9.ADD THE 3rd AND 5th TO THE CHORD.
10.REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS WITH THE MINOR CHORDS

🎸FAQs:
Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content :)

Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.
