woo.
great video, thanks!
great!
i find your lessons very usefull, very clear.
best teacher i found so far on youtube.
Thanks =D
Love this. Very helpful, thank you
Try going from Dmin7 to G9, its like Dmin7 to Dmin6, probably cause they’re basically the same notes. (That grip of Dmin6 is essentially G9/D)
Great lesson! I’ve learned so much from you… Thanks Justin!
nice lesson but you should fix you camcoreders speakers of put it farther away but zoom in
Love the bit at 5:00 although it took me a while to learn it
Thanks so much!
You should include a graphic to show which notes you’re playing. Your fingers are so flat on the fretboard, I can’t tell what you’re actually fretting.
Thanks!…favourited…downloaded and glad i subscribed
i mainly play blues and r’n'r but still i find this very helpful and interesting. great work Justin keep ‘em coming!
Then i think you are to fast to this lesson and maybe to much a beginner. I can easy see where the fingers are playing, and i dident know the chords before i saw this.
Not at all. I’ve been playing guitar, off and on, longer than you’ve been breathing. I simply loathe ambiguity and I like diagrams.
If you have been playing guitar more than 21 years, and you cant see where he is putting his fingers, or atleast try the chords and listen to your ears, i think you slacked alot.
Nothing against you as a player, but i just think everyone can grab the chord as it looks, and just follow your ears to guide you
OR, atleast work your way on google when justin is mentioning the chord as a dm7 etc you google it 
It isn’t a matter of what I can do. As I stated before, I prefer clear diagrams. Googling isn’t necessary. When I see a novel chord fingering, I like to check it off against my Chord Wizard Gold 2 library, and add it if it isn’t there. In the case of your example (Dm7) I could just look in the vicinity of where his fingers are for D F A & C, but it’s most efficient to just punch in the fingering from a clear diagram.
I’m not sure which part of “I prefer diagrams” you’re failing to understand. If his fingers were more arched, their placement would be unambiguous. Unfortunately, they aren’t, hence my suggestion of diagrams. I fail to see why this is of concern to you. Different strokes for different folks. Some people like tabs, for instance. I don’t care for them at all. I prefer standard music notation, but I don’t care if others prefer tabs.
FYI: There is no such word as “alot.”
I was going through a rut… Your lesson saved the day! Thank you!
@ Hoopermazing – I would love to have diagrams up too – but it just takes far too long to make them all! Sorry. Will get some notes up on the web site though soon. J
No worries, it was just a suggestion. Also “diagram” might have implied something more involved than what I actually meant. In the interest of clarity, what I meant was little superimposed Youtube annotations (I’m going to assume that since you have your own Youtube channel, you know what those are) with this kind of business: x20211 (i.e Bm7b59)
Again, no worries.
Hey justin. Doesn’t D minor 6 belong to the dorian scale/mode instead of minor/aeolian? Why is it called minor then?
