Hi Im Karl. Ive been playing guitar for 17 years so I thought it would be a good idea to share some knowledge. This is the first of many lesson installments. In this lesson we learn how to play an open G chord

  1. Thank you for the compliments. Glad you like the lessons. I’m not sure what you’re asking but if you’re looking for the notes in G, F and B they would be:

    GBD for G Major
    FAC for F Major
    BF#D for B Major

    Each chord above is listed in root position so in the G chord G is the root, B is the third and D is the 5th degree. If you want to create minor chords off of those just flat the third by 1/2 step. Hope this helps. Let me know if you havre any other questions.

  2. Hey man great videos! you are very talented and skillfull, keep up the good work!!

  5. Hey Mambo. I just posted a new video on how to finger the open A Major and minor chords. Yeah you have to fret the 4th string but the 5th is played open in both chords.

  6. Hey dude,do you know how to do an open a chord?How you do it?Do I have to fret the 5th or 4th strings?

  7. Hey GraphicGoons: The Amp I used in this vidoe is a 1966 Fender Pro Reverb. Almost all original with just the filtercaps and the chord changed and two other small capacitors. The Blackface Pro Reverb is one of the best amps ever made! Thanks for watching.
