I’m an elderly Roman statesman who’s been playing the electric xylophone for 900 years. This is the most comprehensive list of chord types that I’ve ever seen anywhere.

I'm a music teacher who has been teaching theory for over 25 years. This is a very comprehensive lesson on chord theory. well done!

I stopped myself from commenting on this all week, until I watched over and over. This Sam, is by far the greatest lesson on chord building that I’ve ever watched. Thanks mate for your hard work and easy to follow lesson, and the other videos on your site 👍🏻🇬🇧🎸

Homie you just made me realize how easy this stuff is the most intimidating part is learning the fret board to incorporate this knowledge

I had a music teacher who drilled theory into my head. Years later I am so happy he did. For those of you who did not get formal training I highly recommend this video. It is streamlined for perfect understanding. If you need to, break it down into sections. Thank you to the professor behind this lesson.

This channel is criminally underrated. One of the most straightforward approaches I’ve ever seen. All your channel content is so clear, well laid out, and easy to follow other creators should be jealous. Keep it up I’m learning loads.

Been trying to get music theory under my belt as a guitar player these last few weeks but this is just the most clear and well layed out video on chord building I've seen. Many thanks

I can't begin to over exaggerate how much this lesson brings together guitar mechanics for me. The more you put into this, the more it gives.

This is SO much easier for keyboard players! I've played keys and guitar for 50-years now and what you've described is actually pretty trivial once it's shown in context. It's when you have to contort your hands into unnatural positions on the guitar that this becomes REALLY difficult! For a keyboardist, it's a piece of cake...

Every guitar player should learn theory. I learned it and it has helped me. As you said, you don’t have to memorize any of this. I never did but I know the whole neck of my guitar.

I’m six minutes into this and it is already one of the finest, most worthwhile lessons I’ve had. Cheers.

I can NOT believe I NEVER thought to apply this strategy to the major scale. If you base it off of the major scale positions on both strings (E and A) you can create the chords across the neck on all strings and experiment with different chord voicing’s/inversions. Thank you so much! This was eye opening

As a guitar teacher, I teach this stuff everyday. This is a fantastic video - outlining the basics of chord structures. Very useful video. Thanks!

Clear, concise, articulate, simplified, logical and visual. This is the best laid out explanation I have ever seen. Thank you Sam.

I learned more in 17 minuntes than I have in the last 25 years. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for this.

This is the chord builder tutorial any budding guitarists will ever need. Clear, simple and so easy to follow. Cheers🍻

This is seriously the easiest most fastest straight forward lesson on this that exists on YouTube that I found so far and although I am not new to MusicTheory or chord construction, I stumbled upon this video and just randomly clicked on it and was more interested to see if this could help my sister who is just starting out with MusicTheory and I am definitely going to share this with her because for an absolute beginner this is so clear. Great video!

I came across this video because I wanted to start playing again after taking a long period off of not playing guitar. This is a great refresher and a time saver as I refresh my memory on what I learned years ago. Thanks for the help and greatly appreciated.

Wow. 5 years ago when I joined my high school's jazz band as a guitarist, I had never even seen a single chord symbol in my life. Triangles... circles... sharp this, add that, omit this... i was completely lost. I had to make Flashcards for every single chord on every song we played for 6 months until I could actually keep up with the band. I didn't understand the theory behind it at the time. I just learned one shape at one spot for each chord, which did make jumping around the fretboard really hard! But man. Those 6 months of brutal practice for hours and hours every day could've been condensed into maybe a month or less if I had this video. Awesome job!
