1 00:00:10,983 --> 00:00:12,668 Hi, how're ya doing? Justin here. 2 00:00:12,668 --> 00:00:14,948 Welcome to IM-142, 3 00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:18,601 which is the one minute chord changes, for Foundation 4. 4 00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:20,773 Now, I'm pretty sure, you know the drill by now, 5 00:00:20,773 --> 00:00:23,177 where you're going to be changing out chords as fast as we can, 6 00:00:23,177 --> 00:00:25,150 between chords that we already know, 7 00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:27,079 and chords that we're just learning. 8 00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:31,238 Now, I've got a suggested five chord changes that you might like to start off with, 9 00:00:31,238 --> 00:00:33,269 but make sure that you remember, 10 00:00:33,269 --> 00:00:35,010 if there is any that you find easy, 11 00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:38,796 you should substitute them with some changes that you find really difficult, 12 00:00:38,801 --> 00:00:42,684 because you get best, if you practice what you can't do, 13 00:00:42,684 --> 00:00:45,158 and don't practice what you can. 14 00:00:45,158 --> 00:00:48,934 Ok, let's get to a close-up and check out my suggested changes. 15 00:00:49,831 --> 00:00:51,937 The first of my suggested changes 16 00:00:51,937 --> 00:00:56,344 is between an A major chord, using an E shape, 17 00:00:56,344 --> 00:01:01,682 and an E7 chord using an A shape. 18 00:01:01,682 --> 00:01:04,028 This is a very common chord movement, 19 00:01:04,028 --> 00:01:09,055 . . . 20 00:01:09,055 --> 00:01:12,005 and I don't think you'll have too much trouble with it. 21 00:01:12,528 --> 00:01:15,013 My second chord change suggestion is here 22 00:01:15,028 --> 00:01:19,828 a G minor 7 to a C minor 7 chord. 23 00:01:19,828 --> 00:01:23,364 Now, both of these require quite strong barres, 24 00:01:23,364 --> 00:01:25,783 particularly the G minor 7, that's quite far down the neck, 25 00:01:25,783 --> 00:01:27,313 you might get that second finger over, 26 00:01:27,313 --> 00:01:31,394 to give yourself a little bit of support if you need it, 27 00:01:31,394 --> 00:01:32,726 to a C minor 7. 28 00:01:32,726 --> 00:01:34,490 If you find it really difficult down here, 29 00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:36,267 you could move it up the neck, to say, 30 00:01:36,267 --> 00:01:38,754 a Bminor7 to an Eminor7. 31 00:01:38,754 --> 00:01:39,906 Up to you. 32 00:01:39,906 --> 00:01:42,755 I think doing it at G is a good kind of strength builder. 33 00:01:42,755 --> 00:01:44,520 So, sitting there, 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,969 should have the chords nice and clear by now, 35 00:01:47,969 --> 00:01:52,824 and making those chord changes as fast as you can. 36 00:01:54,163 --> 00:01:56,280 My third chord change that I'd recommend would be, 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,297 Bb7 to an Eb7. 38 00:02:02,297 --> 00:02:05,452 Both, again, very very common chords to be changing between. 39 00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,076 Nothing too difficult here, really. 40 00:02:08,076 --> 00:02:12,134 It's just getting used to the two dominant 7 chord shapes, 41 00:02:12,134 --> 00:02:14,447 and making sure your barre is strong enough, 42 00:02:14,447 --> 00:02:17,587 to get all of those notes ringing out nice. 43 00:02:19,648 --> 00:02:21,927 Fourth recommended change is, 44 00:02:21,927 --> 00:02:24,812 G major, using an E shape, 45 00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:29,370 to a B7, using an A shape. 46 00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:32,519 . . . 47 00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:34,299 Interesting kind of quick change here 48 00:02:34,299 --> 00:02:36,108 because you have to kind of move backwards 49 00:02:36,108 --> 00:02:39,975 and moving backwards with the barres are always a little bit more interesting than not. 50 00:02:39,975 --> 00:02:44,728 So G, backwards we go to the 7th. 51 00:02:44,728 --> 00:02:47,552 Here, sometimes my fingers kind of a little bit flat like that. 52 00:02:47,552 --> 00:02:50,116 Sometimes, it's a bit easier to get the pressure on, 53 00:02:50,116 --> 00:02:52,610 when the fingers are kind of slightly angled. 54 00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:54,574 Wouldn't say it's a particularly a good habit. 55 00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:56,278 They should probably be a bit square on, 56 00:02:56,278 --> 00:02:58,397 but if they are a little bit late over sometimes, 57 00:02:58,397 --> 00:03:01,462 particularly when you've just gone backwards, 58 00:03:01,462 --> 00:03:03,103 I think that's kind of acceptable, 59 00:03:03,103 --> 00:03:06,583 so long as the chord sounds good. 60 00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:09,991 And the 5th recommended change would be this : 61 00:03:09,991 --> 00:03:14,251 Ab minor to a Db major. 62 00:03:14,251 --> 00:03:20,174 . . . 63 00:03:20,174 --> 00:03:22,558 Just to make sure that we keep on working on, 64 00:03:22,558 --> 00:03:25,946 uh, A shape major barre chord change a bit as well, 65 00:03:25,946 --> 00:03:28,607 because that's generally the toughest one for most people, 66 00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,525 so, you don't want to leave it out altogether. 67 00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:33,527 Well, I'll leave you to it. 68 00:03:33,527 --> 00:03:36,080 All you have to do now is add your practice. 69 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,388 Just please don't forget, if there's any that you find really difficult, 70 00:03:39,388 --> 00:03:42,218 if you're still struggling with the A major type barre chord, 71 00:03:42,218 --> 00:03:44,149 you might want to chuck some more of those in there, 72 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:46,360 if there's some from the list that I've given you 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,708 that you'd find easier, 74 00:03:47,708 --> 00:03:49,255 so that's the big trick here. 75 00:03:49,255 --> 00:03:51,877 Please, don't forget, practice the hard stuff. 76 00:03:51,877 --> 00:03:53,095 It'll make you better. 77 00:03:53,095 --> 00:03:53,915 Take care. 78 00:03:53,915 --> 00:03:56,286 I'll see you for another lesson real soon. Bye-bye.
