Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.22,0:00:11.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Welcome to Stage 8\Nof your guitar beginners course.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.14,0:00:13.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm sure \Nyou're gonna be enjoying this one,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.02,0:00:16.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cause, what we're gonna be checkin' out,\Nis a few variations of a G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.72,0:00:20.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've shown you one, kind of,\Nstandard way of playing G chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.50,0:00:23.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there's quite a few,\Nthat are really, really useful
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.21,0:00:25.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in specific circumstances.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.07,0:00:27.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you'll find, as you play more\Nand learn more songs,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.58,0:00:30.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you think: \N"I wish there was an easier way of doing this"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.42,0:00:35.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now we are going to learn\Neasier ways of doing the G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.19,0:00:37.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's go to a close up now,\Nand I'll show you these
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.63,0:00:41.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,other ways of doing this\Nvery, very common chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.82,0:00:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ok, here we are for our first G chord variation,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.60,0:00:48.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I call this a "big G".
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.33,0:00:52.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you look,\Nthere was our standard regular G chord
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.86,0:00:54.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just using the three fingers.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.01,0:00:56.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All we've done here\Nis move the third finger
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.26,0:00:58.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over on to the B string, the second string.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.86,0:01:02.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the little finger\Nhas gone where that third finger used to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.06,0:01:04.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you see now, \Nwe're using all four fingers,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.50,0:01:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I just give it a strum..
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.30,0:01:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a really good sounding G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.07,0:01:12.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All we've done in fact is\Nchange the open B string,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.97,0:01:15.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously, the note B, into a D note.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.63,0:01:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is still keeping our G chord,\Nstill named a regular G,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.50,0:01:22.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cause we're only using notes G, B and D.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.35,0:01:29.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This chord is particularly famous\Nin Guns'n'Roses, and Poison,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.04,0:01:32.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Bon Jovi in the 80's.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.05,0:01:36.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All that acoustic guitar rock stuff \Nall of the acoustic guitar songs
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.13,0:01:38.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nearly always used this version of the G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.82,0:01:42.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it does sound a little bit bigger\Nand kind of more poppy or rocky
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.43,0:01:44.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than the original G.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.75,0:01:47.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there is one version\Nwhich is considered even rockier one.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.79,0:01:50.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which we're gonna go to now.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.50,0:01:52.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here is our big rock G.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.88,0:01:56.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All I've done is... The last one\Nthat I just told you I called "Big G"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.22,0:01:59.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All I've done is\Nlifted of my first finger and now it's suddenly a rock G.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.56,0:02:04.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason this sounds more rocky,\Nand I've actualy renamed it as being a G5,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.33,0:02:08.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's because it now only\Ncontains the notes G and D.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.47,0:02:11.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't have any more\Nthe note B involved with this chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.75,0:02:14.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we looked at the notes one at a time,\Nwe've got a G here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.57,0:02:19.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the A string is muted\Nby the underneath of that second finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.71,0:02:23.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That finger is muting that string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.27,0:02:28.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we've got open D,\Nopen G, then another D and another G.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.87,0:02:34.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a big rock chord,\Nwith distortion this chord sounds huge.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.72,0:02:37.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's very, very cool, indeed.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.58,0:02:41.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is another very common way of playing a G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.87,0:02:44.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is a little bit more funky\Nthan anything else.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.48,0:02:45.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You tend to use it\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.29,0:02:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you're changing from a C chord \Nto a G chord very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.02,0:02:49.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is quite common,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.45,0:02:52.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the C and the G chord\Noccur very regularly together.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.51,0:02:56.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's your regular C chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.35,0:02:59.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we want to go to this new G chord,\Nall you're doing is just splitting
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.71,0:03:03.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your third and fourth fingers\Non to the two outside strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.30,0:03:06.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This can be a little bit tricky,\Nespecially when you're starting out.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.78,0:03:10.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But have a go, because it \Ndoes make changing C to G a lot quicker
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.47,0:03:13.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These two fingers I'm pointing out\Njust to keep them out of the way
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.26,0:03:15.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you would normally\Njust leave them hanging around.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.40,0:03:18.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I didn't want you to get confused\Nand think they were down.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.01,0:03:21.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we've got here is \Nthe third finger over on the thickest string
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.12,0:03:24.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's a lot flatter than normal\Nand that's deliberately
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.25,0:03:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure that that string there is muted.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.29,0:03:30.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The same as what we had \Nat that rockin' G,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.05,0:03:32.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this time \Nwe're getting rid of that A string there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.96,0:03:33.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's muted by the third finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.100,0:03:37.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Open D string.\NOpen G, open B
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.31,0:03:41.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and little finger down there \Nplaying the top note - G as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.20,0:03:44.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is a full G chord,\Nbut you can see, if I'm changing from C to G
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.99,0:03:47.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's C. There's our new G.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.27,0:03:48.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,C, G
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.70,0:03:55.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that used to be one of the hardest changes,\Nall fingers off.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.32,0:03:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it's a lot easier.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.00,0:04:00.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's some people that put\Nactually that second finger
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.96,0:04:06.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and play the same dots\Nas that initial G that we learned
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.64,0:04:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just without the first finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.00,0:04:10.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's ok,\Na lot of people like that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.58,0:04:13.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's fine to play it that way, \NI just think that this note
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.59,0:04:16.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a little bit redundant\Nand if I play this one (strum)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.29,0:04:19.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then without it (strum)\Nwe hear very little difference,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.68,0:04:23.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's a hell of a lot easier\Nto play it like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.64,0:04:27.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the important thing \Nwith these new G chord variations,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.48,0:04:30.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is making sure, \Nthat you use them in the right circumstance.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.62,0:04:34.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Particularly the big G and the rock G\Nworked really, really well
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.33,0:04:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doing chord changes\Ngoing from G to D.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.04,0:04:40.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm gonna explain that a little bit better\Nin the one minute changes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.05,0:04:42.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just get your fingers around these chords\N
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.82,0:04:45.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll see you for another bit of a lesson\Nvery soon.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.99,0:04:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bye - bye!
