OK, here we are for a look at the One Minute Changes you need for Stage 7.

0:00:11.451,0:00:14.831
So, of course you're at that more advanced stage now

0:00:14.831,0:00:19.648
where you should be making your own decisions about what One Minute Changes you should be doing,

0:00:19.648,0:00:21.733
but I do have a couple of suggestions.

0:00:21.733,0:00:24.961
One of them is to experiment with your sus-chords,

0:00:24.961,0:00:32.804
so particularly doing the movements of D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2 and back to D again, literally going

0:00:32.804,0:00:38.599
. . .

0:00:38.599,0:00:41.645
strumming doesn't matter. [br]It can be all downs or down/up/down/up, doesn't matter

0:00:41.645,0:00:44.058
but what I would recommend is that [br]you make a cycle of this:

0:00:44.058,0:00:46.738
1

0:00:46.738,0:00:49.102
2

0:00:49.102,0:00:51.386
3

0:00:51.386,0:00:51.886
4

0:00:51.886,0:01:00.281
So you're only counting '1' for each whole time you go D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, then '2'.

0:01:00.281,0:01:09.591
Then also do it with D minor. So Dmin, Dsus4, Dmin, Dsus2 and back to Dmin.

0:01:09.591,0:01:11.957
Remembering that those two fingers are [br]staying on the same

0:01:11.957,0:01:15.208
the second and third fingers are staying [br]on the same notes for the whole time.

0:01:15.208,0:01:18.801
. . .

0:01:18.801,0:01:21.661
And then do the same for both A

0:01:21.661,0:01:24.637
. . .

0:01:24.637,0:01:25.969
and Amin

0:01:25.969,0:01:30.415
. . .

0:01:30.415,0:01:33.784
Those movements, those suspended-movements, [br]are used all the time

0:01:33.784,0:01:36.936
and it's definitely, definitly worth trying to get them under your fingers

0:01:36.936,0:01:39.532
so they're kinda becoming instinctive, [br]that you don't even think about it,

0:01:39.532,0:01:42.412
your fingers can just add those in any time you like.

0:01:42.412,0:01:45.759
It really makes a difference to, you know, [br]if you got to play the same chord for ages

0:01:45.759,0:01:48.986
and it's getting a bit boring it would be really nice to spice them up a little bit

0:01:48.986,0:01:52.031
for both the audience who's listening to it and for you.

0:01:52.031,0:01:54.515
So, that would be the thing I'd recommend first of all

0:01:54.515,0:01:57.156
that you try and incorporate into your One Minute Changes.

0:01:57.156,0:02:02.414
Maybe the first one would be [br]A or Amin, with your sus-chords

0:02:02.414,0:02:06.164
and the second one would be D (major or minor),[br]with your sus-chords.

0:02:06.164,0:02:10.694
Then for the other three spaces I would probably recommend that you're still working on your F chord.

0:02:10.694,0:02:15.002
I'd be very surprised if your F chord is perfect now, especially changing from the open chords

0:02:15.002,0:02:19.325
to the F chord. [br]A lot of people find that really properly difficult.

0:02:19.325,0:02:22.316
If you're one of those make sure you're doing plenty of practice on that as well.

0:02:22.316,0:02:26.028
Doing the One Minute Changes, [br]doing, you know, F to C is a hard one,

0:02:26.028,0:02:31.329
F to G is a hard one, that you're really working on them and make them sound really proper and good.

0:02:31.329,0:02:33.734
So, I hope that does all makes sense to you. [br]

0:02:33.734,0:02:37.080
Another short lesson, [br]but I hope you're progressing well with it

0:02:37.080,0:02:41.210
and I'll see you for another one very soon. Bye-bye.
