Fourteen minute video lesson on guitar chords

Posted on | | No Comments

One of the most important skills that any guitarist can have is a SOLID understanding of chords. A guitar solo makes up only maybe 10% of a song, so what are you doing with the other 90%? Playing chords or at least some licks that usually come from chords. Anyway, most people don’t really understand where chords come from or how they work, so here’s a 14 minute video with info about guitar chords. In this free guitar video you’ll discover how chords are related to scales, why some chords are major, minor, dominant, etc., what guitarists mean when they say… “two chord” or “five chord” etc., which chords come from the major scale, the difference between a triad and a 7th chord… PLUS … er… other stuff. Here’s the video lesson. You can also download this video and watch on your iPod, just look for the “iPod” link.
The video comes from Dan Denley’s Acoustic Guitar Secrets course, which is fast becoming the standard for learning acoustic guitar. I managed to get a copy before the course completely sold out when it was released back in December. They stopped accepting orders for two months but at 11:00AM Eastern on Friday, March 14, Acoustic Guitar Secrets will be publicly available again.
There will be bonuses for the first few people who order, including…
* Two audio-interviews with two of the top guitarists in jazz and neoclassical soloing…
* A 7-part tutorial on the modes…
* 25-minute video series on the pentatonic scale…
* A new 5-part video series on theory basics: rhythm, scales, chords and harmonization.
And because there were many people who were unable to order when the course was initially released in December, Dan Denley has decided to continue the introductory price for a while.
Here’s what Dan said about it in a recent email:
“I’ve raised the cost of ALL of my courses
after they were originally released. And I’m
pretty sure I’m going to do the same with
this one.
“Plus the last course sold out all 1000 copies
and we had to pull down the site and stop
taking orders for two months.
“But there’s actually a more pressing issue
you need to be aware of…
“I’m seriously considering breaking this
course up into 3 separate parts and selling
them individually for much higher cost.
“The first part would be DVDs 1-3: chords,
rhythms, strumming patterns, barre chords,
open-position chords, progressions, chord
fills and substitution. With the book and
everything, I could easily sell this part of
the course for $120.
“Then I could market DVD 4 (arpeggios &
fingerstyle) and DVD 5 (blues, country & jazz
styles) for about $50 each.
“This means that if you purchase the
components individually it would run you
about $220″.
