Hi, how're ya doing?[br]Justin here.

0:00:12.668,0:00:14.948
Welcome to IM-142,

0:00:14.948,0:00:18.601
which is the one minute chord changes,[br]for Foundation 4.

0:00:18.601,0:00:20.773
Now, I'm pretty sure, [br]you know the drill by now,

0:00:20.773,0:00:23.177
where you're going to be changing out chords [br]as fast as we can,

0:00:23.177,0:00:25.150
between chords that we already know,

0:00:25.150,0:00:27.079
and chords that we're just learning.

0:00:27.079,0:00:31.238
Now, I've got a suggested five chord changes[br]that you might like to start off with,

0:00:31.238,0:00:33.269
but make sure that you remember,

0:00:33.269,0:00:35.010
if there is any that you find easy,

0:00:35.010,0:00:38.796
you should substitute them with some changes [br]that you find really difficult,

0:00:38.801,0:00:42.684
because you get best, [br]if you practice what you can't do,

0:00:42.684,0:00:45.158
and don't practice what you can.

0:00:45.158,0:00:48.934
Ok, let's get to a close-up [br]and check out my suggested changes.

0:00:49.831,0:00:51.937
The first of my suggested changes

0:00:51.937,0:00:56.344
is between an A major chord,[br]using an E shape,

0:00:56.344,0:01:01.682
and an E7 chord using an A shape.

0:01:01.682,0:01:04.028
This is a very common chord movement,

0:01:04.028,0:01:09.055
. . .

0:01:09.055,0:01:12.005
and I don't think you'll have [br]too much trouble with it.

0:01:12.528,0:01:15.013
My second chord change suggestion is here

0:01:15.028,0:01:19.828
a G minor 7 to a C minor 7 chord.

0:01:19.828,0:01:23.364
Now, both of these require quite strong barres,

0:01:23.364,0:01:25.783
particularly the G minor 7, [br]that's quite far down the neck,

0:01:25.783,0:01:27.313
you might get that second finger over,

0:01:27.313,0:01:31.394
to give yourself a little bit of support [br]if you need it,

0:01:31.394,0:01:32.726
to a C minor 7.

0:01:32.726,0:01:34.490
If you find it really difficult down here,

0:01:34.490,0:01:36.267
you could move it up the neck, to say,

0:01:36.267,0:01:38.754
a Bminor7 to an Eminor7.

0:01:38.754,0:01:39.906
Up to you.

0:01:39.906,0:01:42.755
I think doing it at G is a good kind of strength builder.

0:01:42.755,0:01:44.520
So, sitting there,

0:01:44.520,0:01:47.969
should have the chords nice and clear by now,

0:01:47.969,0:01:52.824
and making those chord changes [br]as fast as you can.

0:01:54.163,0:01:56.280
My third chord change [br]that I'd recommend would be,

0:01:56.280,0:02:02.297
Bb7 to an Eb7.

0:02:02.297,0:02:05.452
Both, again, very very common chords [br]to be changing between.

0:02:06.420,0:02:08.076
Nothing too difficult here, really.

0:02:08.076,0:02:12.134
It's just getting used [br]to the two dominant 7 chord shapes,

0:02:12.134,0:02:14.447
and making sure your barre is strong enough,

0:02:14.447,0:02:17.587
to get all of those notes ringing out nice.

0:02:19.648,0:02:21.927
Fourth recommended change is,

0:02:21.927,0:02:24.812
G major, using an E shape,

0:02:24.812,0:02:29.370
to a B7, using an A shape.

0:02:29.370,0:02:32.519
. . .

0:02:32.519,0:02:34.299
Interesting kind of quick change here

0:02:34.299,0:02:36.108
because you have to kind of move backwards

0:02:36.108,0:02:39.975
and moving backwards with the barres [br]are always a little bit more interesting than not.

0:02:39.975,0:02:44.728
So G, backwards we go to the 7th.

0:02:44.728,0:02:47.552
Here, sometimes my fingers[br]kind of a little bit flat like that.

0:02:47.552,0:02:50.116
Sometimes, it's a bit easier to get the pressure on,

0:02:50.116,0:02:52.610
when the fingers are kind of slightly angled.

0:02:52.610,0:02:54.574
Wouldn't say it's a particularly a good habit.

0:02:54.574,0:02:56.278
They should probably be a bit square on,

0:02:56.278,0:02:58.397
but if they are [br]a little bit late over sometimes,

0:02:58.397,0:03:01.462
particularly when you've just gone backwards,

0:03:01.462,0:03:03.103
I think that's kind of acceptable,

0:03:03.103,0:03:06.583
so long as the chord sounds good.

0:03:07.690,0:03:09.991
And the 5th recommended change would be this :

0:03:09.991,0:03:14.251
Ab minor to a Db major.

0:03:14.251,0:03:20.174
. . .

0:03:20.174,0:03:22.558
Just to make sure that we keep on working on,

0:03:22.558,0:03:25.946
uh, A shape major barre chord change a bit as well,

0:03:25.946,0:03:28.607
because that's generally [br]the toughest one for most people,

0:03:28.607,0:03:30.525
so, you don't want to leave it out altogether.

0:03:32.140,0:03:33.527
Well, I'll leave you to it.

0:03:33.527,0:03:36.080
All you have to do now is add your practice.

0:03:36.080,0:03:39.388
Just please don't forget, [br]if there's any that you find really difficult,

0:03:39.388,0:03:42.218
if you're still struggling [br]with the A major type barre chord,

0:03:42.218,0:03:44.149
you might want to chuck some more of those in there,

0:03:44.149,0:03:46.360
if there's some from the list that I've given you

0:03:46.360,0:03:47.708
that you'd find easier,

0:03:47.708,0:03:49.255
so that's the big trick here.

0:03:49.255,0:03:51.877
Please, don't forget, [br]practice the hard stuff.

0:03:51.877,0:03:53.095
It'll make you better.

0:03:53.095,0:03:53.915
Take care.

0:03:53.915,0:03:56.286
I'll see you for another lesson real soon. [br]Bye-bye.
