This lesson wasn’t as easy as I expected from the title of the lesson. This is a great lesson in terms of beginning to learn to solo using the major scale in any key, but I had hoped it would be a little more basic in the content at this level. I have decided to use the Easy Barre Chords lesson in module 22 for my module 20 focus. Then I will focus on this lesson when I am in module 22 just prior to starting Grade 4 when all of this will be studied in detail. A year ago I had requested a lesson on all the chords in the 5 main (open shape Major chords) keys of C, G, D, A and E. Justin gives the chords in the key of G in this lesson, but using movable chords. I decided to make a video for my own use showing finding the chords in the keys of C, G, D, A and E using the note circle. Here is a link to the video that I put in my learning log:
My video lesson on what are the chords in the CAGED keys
As I said, I am not a guitar teacher, just someone with a few years of experience as an advancing beginner spread thinly over a 40 year time frame, so I know that this is what I need at this point. I am only posting on Justin’s site so if Justin wanted to use this video as a suggestion, I know that he could make a video 10 times better than this one. This main purpose of my video lesson is to introduce the Bm, F#m, C#m, and G#m chords (2nd and 4th fret barre chords) used in these keys to provide practice with barre chords before starting Grade 4 and to provide a table of the chords for using to transpose songs between these keys.
