How to Play Easy Chord Shapes Up The Neck Lesson on JustinGuitar

Justin`s guitars list

Hi Uffe @Lyngdal ,

I have no idea how old this list is, but it might be of some use to you.

Welcome here and I wish you a lot of fun,
Greetings,Rogier

Thx :blush:

Really helpful thanks, I have been looking for songs to apply this technique to and your ā€˜cheat sheetā€™ is a huge help to me so I can go looking for songs with chord progressions where I can apply this.

I went through this lesson last night and while Iā€™m not exactly unfamiliar with moving the open chords, Iā€™ve known about shifting them up 2 frets, this is brilliant!

One of the longest single lessons to date but it flew by. Plenty of exploring to do! Awesome Justin, just awesome :facepunch:

Wait, do you highly recommend the lesson or Fluffhead? If this lesson helps you play it, my guess is both. :wink:

You are correct. Just went and watched a video. :metal: Thanks for pointing that out. Anytime I can center these concepts on something I like, it helps it stick.

I found if you just do a basic G chord (finger on E string, mute A string, finger on e string), itā€™s very movable up the neck.

CAGED absolutely intrigues me, and since finding out about it you notice so many professional guitarists using it vs open chords

Either ā€˜fullā€™ CAGED chords or triads

that C shape G on the 10th, not finding it easy at all! i think because it squares the elbow up as it comes up the frets and so makes getting my lil finger down ultra-tricky. also, the action is way higher up there than nearer the nut, which iā€™m finding makes the accuracy of pressing them down tricky. is that normal?

my song pick for practicing this shape is Love on the weekend. because its nice and simple so i can focus on getting the chords right.

Donā€™t know if this will help anyone, but there is a song sweet one by tracy chapman, you can find it on YouTube. It has a minor shapes moved up to 6th and 5th fret. It might be nice to include a practice rountine

this reminds me of parklife

go onā€¦

and now I have that song in my head!

I found the CAGED introduction in the last lesson really tough but I have stuck with it. I watched the video again and again until I understood and now, rather than give up, I am rewarded with this lesson! Just fabulous. Mind blowing. Wonderful. Thank you Justin and all the team for this.

Thank you for this

I love the little ā€œburst of C major scaleā€ in the explanation of the E-shape cords. Would it be possible to add the tabs for this burst :wink: on this page (or somewhere else)?
