In this video, I will literally save you years of practice time. And this is something I wish somebody would have taught me when I first started learning the guitar. This will help you avoid learning tons of chords that just simply aren't worth your time. And the way that we're going to do that is by using this chart right here. This is one that I talked about in the intro video where we take every song from every key, and we move it into the easy key of G major. And those are the chords that have already taught you, I'm just going to give you a really quick example.

So you know what to do. And if you have further questions, then you can use the sheet that is actually linked below, where you have this sheet right here, as well as an entire paper that takes a song and you put the name of the song at the top, you put what key is currently in current chords, and then you do it by structure, and then you simply move it into G major at the bottom of it. So those will be linked below. But just to give you a really quick example. So let's say you have a song that's in a major up here. And let's say for example, this would be really common, you might have an A major And then an E major chord, and then an F sharp minor chord.

And by the way, if it doesn't say an F next to it, that automatically means it's a major. That's the way a lot of us just choose to notate when we do chords like this. So you have these chords, it's specifically this F sharp minor is a little bit of a harder chord. It's a barre chord a little bit uncomfortable, especially for a beginner. And so let's say you don't know this F sharp minor chord, so you can't play the song. Well, good news is by signing on a capo and moving it into G major, your F sharp minor actually becomes an E minor, which just happens to be one of the easiest chords on the entire guitar, in my opinion, the easiest guitar that there is, or sorry, the easiest chord that there is.

So your chords become E minor, D, and G instead of a E, an F sharp minor. And this will be easier to see if you're actually on your paper, but you can even just draw an arrow down so F sharp minor becomes E minor. This e right here becomes a D, and then a becomes a G, and you don't have to understand Any of the music theory behind it, because this is literally the only tool that you'll need to have. So I have this, this has all of the solid like the ABCD, and F. But in between some of these there's sharps and flats. So there's a bigger paper which you can also print out which I'll have linked below, which has the full spectrum of every key that you'll ever need to know on the guitar. So you don't have to fully understand how it works.

Just understand that you'll have a song and whatever song you want to learn and I don't know what your favorite song is, but you do and you can simply write it. You get all of the information off of Google the name of the song, what key it's in, what the chords are, and then use that piece of paper to move it into the easy key of G major. And then boom, you can easily start playing your favorite songs.
