In this lesson, we go over a great and simple writing tool with chord shapes; adding in open strings. As long as that open string is in the key, you can get some great sounds with minimal effort!

PPOCK - Ch.1 - Side A (Add Open Strings to Chords)

In this lesson, we go over a great and simple writing tool with chord shapes; adding in open strings. As long as that open string is in the key, you can get some great sounds with minimal effort! Open G String (0:00) Open E string (4:45) Both Open G and E (6:43) Know How the Notes are Working (9:12) Where it Won't Work (11:03) Pay Attention to the Hierarchy (15:29) "Blackbird" as an Example (19:14)

Open g string on e-guitar with no amp, sounds like a banjo - high g drone note. Cool!

I started with this series and not the Fretboard method, I have a basic knowledge of scales, how to build chords. So far I understand what you are saying (when you referred to the Fretboard method), do you think I better stop here and start with the Fretboard method?

As long as you can look at a note on the fretboard and understand the function of that note over a given chord (like seeing a C# over an A chord and thinking "3rd"), you should be okay to continue with this series. The only thing that might be foreign to you is when I start talking about what I call "the note hierarchy", and when I start talking about scale shapes. My scale method is a little different than others, and I have different terminology for things. You'll probably hear me say something like "left shape", which refers to a specific fingering.
