00:00:10.983 --> 00:00:12.668
Hi, how're ya doing?
Justin here.

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

00:00:14.948 --> 00:00:18.601
which is the one minute chord changes,
for Foundation 4.

00:00:18.601 --> 00:00:20.773
Now, I'm pretty sure, 
you know the drill by now,

00:00:20.773 --> 00:00:23.177
where you're going to be changing out chords 
as fast as we can,

00:00:23.177 --> 00:00:25.150
between chords that we already know,

00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:27.079
and chords that we're just learning.

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,

00:00:31.238 --> 00:00:33.269
but make sure that you remember,

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

00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:38.796
you should substitute them with some changes 
that you find really difficult,

00:00:38.801 --> 00:00:42.684
because you get best, 
if you practice what you can't do,

00:00:42.684 --> 00:00:45.158
and don't practice what you can.

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

00:00:49.831 --> 00:00:51.937
The first of my suggested changes

00:00:51.937 --> 00:00:56.344
is between an A major chord,
using an E shape,

00:00:56.344 --> 00:01:01.682
and an E7 chord using an A shape.

00:01:01.682 --> 00:01:04.028
This is a very common chord movement,

00:01:04.028 --> 00:01:09.055
. . .

00:01:09.055 --> 00:01:12.005
and I don't think you'll have 
too much trouble with it.

00:01:12.528 --> 00:01:15.013
My second chord change suggestion is here

00:01:15.028 --> 00:01:19.828
a G minor 7 to a C minor 7 chord.

00:01:19.828 --> 00:01:23.364
Now, both of these require quite strong barres,

00:01:23.364 --> 00:01:25.783
particularly the G minor 7, 
that's quite far down the neck,

00:01:25.783 --> 00:01:27.313
you might get that second finger over,

00:01:27.313 --> 00:01:31.394
to give yourself a little bit of support 
if you need it,

00:01:31.394 --> 00:01:32.726
to a C minor 7.

00:01:32.726 --> 00:01:34.490
If you find it really difficult down here,

00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:36.267
you could move it up the neck, to say,

00:01:36.267 --> 00:01:38.754
a Bminor7 to an Eminor7.

00:01:38.754 --> 00:01:39.906
Up to you.

00:01:39.906 --> 00:01:42.755
I think doing it at G is a good kind of strength builder.

00:01:42.755 --> 00:01:44.520
So, sitting there,

00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:47.969
should have the chords nice and clear by now,

00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:52.824
and making those chord changes 
as fast as you can.

00:01:54.163 --> 00:01:56.280
My third chord change 
that I'd recommend would be,

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.297
Bb7 to an Eb7.

00:02:02.297 --> 00:02:05.452
Both, again, very very common chords 
to be changing between.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:08.076
Nothing too difficult here, really.

00:02:08.076 --> 00:02:12.134
It's just getting used 
to the two dominant 7 chord shapes,

00:02:12.134 --> 00:02:14.447
and making sure your barre is strong enough,

00:02:14.447 --> 00:02:17.587
to get all of those notes ringing out nice.

00:02:19.648 --> 00:02:21.927
Fourth recommended change is,

00:02:21.927 --> 00:02:24.812
G major, using an E shape,

00:02:24.812 --> 00:02:29.370
to a B7, using an A shape.

00:02:29.370 --> 00:02:32.519
. . .

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:34.299
Interesting kind of quick change here

00:02:34.299 --> 00:02:36.108
because you have to kind of move backwards

00:02:36.108 --> 00:02:39.975
and moving backwards with the barres 
are always a little bit more interesting than not.

00:02:39.975 --> 00:02:44.728
So G, backwards we go to the 7th.

00:02:44.728 --> 00:02:47.552
Here, sometimes my fingers
kind of a little bit flat like that.

00:02:47.552 --> 00:02:50.116
Sometimes, it's a bit easier to get the pressure on,

00:02:50.116 --> 00:02:52.610
when the fingers are kind of slightly angled.

00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:54.574
Wouldn't say it's a particularly a good habit.

00:02:54.574 --> 00:02:56.278
They should probably be a bit square on,

00:02:56.278 --> 00:02:58.397
but if they are 
a little bit late over sometimes,

00:02:58.397 --> 00:03:01.462
particularly when you've just gone backwards,

00:03:01.462 --> 00:03:03.103
I think that's kind of acceptable,

00:03:03.103 --> 00:03:06.583
so long as the chord sounds good.

00:03:07.690 --> 00:03:09.991
And the 5th recommended change would be this :

00:03:09.991 --> 00:03:14.251
Ab minor to a Db major.

00:03:14.251 --> 00:03:20.174
. . .

00:03:20.174 --> 00:03:22.558
Just to make sure that we keep on working on,

00:03:22.558 --> 00:03:25.946
uh, A shape major barre chord change a bit as well,

00:03:25.946 --> 00:03:28.607
because that's generally 
the toughest one for most people,

00:03:28.607 --> 00:03:30.525
so, you don't want to leave it out altogether.

00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:33.527
Well, I'll leave you to it.

00:03:33.527 --> 00:03:36.080
All you have to do now is add your practice.

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.388
Just please don't forget, 
if there's any that you find really difficult,

00:03:39.388 --> 00:03:42.218
if you're still struggling 
with the A major type barre chord,

00:03:42.218 --> 00:03:44.149
you might want to chuck some more of those in there,

00:03:44.149 --> 00:03:46.360
if there's some from the list that I've given you

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.708
that you'd find easier,

00:03:47.708 --> 00:03:49.255
so that's the big trick here.

00:03:49.255 --> 00:03:51.877
Please, don't forget, 
practice the hard stuff.

00:03:51.877 --> 00:03:53.095
It'll make you better.

00:03:53.095 --> 00:03:53.915
Take care.

00:03:53.915 --> 00:03:56.286
I'll see you for another lesson real soon. 
Bye-bye.
