Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

I think Guitar_vault is just trying to get a reaction and clicks. lol

Thank you so much sensei.

Yeah that first inversion trick by keith is gold. Only recently i was looking at “ gimme shelter” intro by the stones and realised he was using that 1st inversion triad trick.

I really get why u love triads and their inversions so much, they show up everywhere in songs its so cool to begin to notice them in music and understand more of whats going on.

Also i really like the 1st inversion , the way it sounds especially after playing the root triad first.

One of My favoutites is open D > D/F#>G>A

I love the movement of the 1st inversion going to the 4

Ed sheeran used it nicely in his song thinking out lout

Thank you Smooth! I love triads very much! Yes! Triads are everywhere! Great!

Not just Gimme Shelter, there is so much in the stones catalog that is in open G tuning. Start me up, Honky Tonk Women, Brown sugar are just a few off the top of my head. I go back and forth with keeping one of my guitars in open G just so I can jam along with The Stones. It's just so much fun! My old band did a few stones tunes and when deciding with the other guitar player who was going to play what, I insisted that I'm playing the Keith parts. If you want to really learn how to get deep into the pocket and just groove, study Keith.

Great point hugo i was just thinking how i often i use the sus2 and sus4 as embellishment . Using the barre method makes that difficult.

Also using the thumb to fret a F#/D is best not using barr

It was just interesting to me as i had never seen that barred D chord. Doesnt seem as flexible as the standard method though

Besides, I guess that the barre method maybe is easier to transition to other specific places in faster paced (like prog rock or instrumental music) environment. Maybe that's why the Youtuber say it's "advanced".

Anyhow, as Matt pointed out below, I think it all depends on context; but it's easier for beginners like me to learn the more commonly available ones (keep things simple) and I'll get less confusion. So, for me, I'll opt for the different fingeringings until I have solid reason to change. By then, I would have learnt more and maybe can decide for myself! Haha!

I think the classic version of D is best for most situations. I was just realising the barre open D form is handy if you want to play Dadd9

So shift the root on the b string up a couple of frets whilst holding the barre and you get a lovely lush Dadd9 chord

Its a bit of of a stretch for the pinky little finger but the reward is the lovely add9 chord so its worth it lol

9th chords are some of of my favoutire , a major9 or add9 even a dom9 is awesome

I love the warmth of major 9 chords

Thank you Matt! Yes. Triads are sound and possible to play different positions. Fingerings are choices abd certain composition could use alternate fingerings. I just keep all posibilities open.
