I've met with an old guitar teacher of mine recently, and he taught me this simple pattern that is a real game changer!
With it you can figure out what are the chords in any Major or minor keys!
Usually, if you want to learn all chords, you have to study harmonization by knowing all the notes on the fretboard, knowing your tone semi-tone scale sequences, memorization the order of chord structures...
But this easy pattern does it all for you! You can instantly know where are your Major, minor and diminished chords in your key within seconds.
If you know how to play a power chord with 2 fingers, you can already do that stuff!
This is going to be a trick I will teach a lot to my future students and especially beginners who want to start building their own chord progressions even if they don't have all the basics mastered yet.
Tell me what do you think in the comments! Did you already know this trick?

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that the notes on the fretboard just live where they live. They don’t move. They don’t DO anything. Learning to play is really a matter of discovering all the different ways to “see” the relationships between the notes. Eventually, this knowledge starts to build on itself and you start conceptualizing the same information in different ways. This is one such way, and it’s one I hadn’t really encountered before. Super helpful and very enlightening. Thanks so much! 🙏👍

Normally skeptical of videos called “one little trick” or “one simple pattern” but this is legitimately a very useful thing to know and very simple too. Great stuff
-
Dude!!!!! I've been playing guitar now for about 15 years, and have NEVER seen this relationship between major/minor chord-shapes and positioning. I feel like I understand it a whole lot more now, and am so appreciative of this tip you received and am so grateful you shared it with the world. This is big for me, and I hope it's helpful to others. THANK YOU!!!!!!
-
Are you kidding me???? you have no idea how easy you made my playing and jamming with folks....this is incredible.

35 years I’m playing the guitar and I never knew that, absolutely brilliant.
-
After studying music and guitar theory with several different teachers for about 20 years none has ever conveyd this simplex and effective way of looking at the fretboard. I'm blown away!
-
Thank you so much for posting this! I just sat down and started to play with the shapes, and notes started to jump out at me from songs that I’ve already played. I’m a beginner but it help me piece together things and in one practice session, I was able to figure out 5 songs based on the sound of those chords. Power chords! This is outstanding and really helps bring a lot of things to life for me. Thank you so much again!!!!🇺🇸

There are sooo many YouTube guitar vids that have a title like this: "learn this simple trick it will make you a genius in 17 seconds..." This is one of the rare ones where that's not false advertising. This is really helpful.
-
Now that line "You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords..." in 'Sultans Of Swing' makes sense!
-
Damn dude. This one elevated my playing immediately to the next level. Finally my fingers are able to match what my ear tells them to do! A beautiful feeling
-
WOW this is actually a massively cool trick, I'm using this when I teach guitar from now on! Such a good way to wrap a beginner's head around harmonization!
-
This is the greatest video ever posted on YouTube.
-
My brain exploded. Decades later, first I've ever heard of this! Bravo!
-
This is so awesome. I have played guitar for 27 years, and I'm still amazed at the "secrets" that live in the patterns of this wonderful and weird instrument. Thank you so much!
-
Simply brilliant--I'm self taught but never came across this trick before--thanks!
-
This was uoww, 15 years studying eletric guitar and I never think in that way, thanks a lot
-
One of the best music theory lessons I’ve ever seen on YouTube
-
Omg! I'm blown away! I can apply this to my bass improvisation!! Dedicated bass players are so inundated with using the right scales in or out the pocket when supporting the guitarist. I haven't played for awhile and dreaded starting from scratch. This will be like getting back on a bicycle! Thank you soooo… much.
