5 Magic Chord Shapes For Ambient Guitar

You really love music.🥲

Sus9 isn’t a thing though. Most people just say sus2 because it’s simpler than saying Aadd9(omit 3rd).

Dude. You’re in Spotify!

Your lessons are always a source of inspiration for me. Those sus chords are buttery gorgeous dude. Thank you Bill.

These are great, Bill. Thank you.

1st chord sounds like opening to 3 Libras

I have gotten heavy into bands like Periphery and Skyharbor. They use a lot of ambient guitar in their songs.

Beautiful. I'm already using a lot of these shapes but watching you play is inspiring when it comes to putting stuff together.

JUST WONDERFULL.... CNGRTLTNS... THE COMBINATION OF 5 EFECTS THAT YOU MENTINED IN ANOTHER VIDEO... COULD IT BE WITH CLOUDBURST THAT I JUST BOGHT IT? I MEAN DONT NEED ADICIONAL REVERB?....THANKS FOR YOUR HELP...

Thanks

Hey, Bill Vencil! I've been watching you for years. Thanks for the music, man.

Add tabs

INSPIRING CHORD SHAPES.😀

Bill - you are obviously talented, knowledgeable and gifted. I appreciate the material you provide to us and view your videos with a hope of learning some new details about improving my playing. So thanks very much for your efforts on our behalf.

I noticed that another view suggested that you provide tabs. Either that or on screen chord diagrams might be helpful because your fingering in the videos sometimes does not appear to match what you are saying about finger position. If you check the transcript of this video you might be able to see a few examples of how the mismatches make it difficult to determine where the fingers should actually be positioned. Also, I realize that chord nomenclature varies, but when I look up the chord forms you suggest (particularly suspensions) I am unable to find any reference that looks like what your are fingering. I guess this is another reason for tabs or chord diagrams.

It's a great pleasure to share your knowledge and your videos are extremly helpful. Thanks so much.

Let’s make it simple and say don’t call it a ninth if there is no seventh being used. It’s just an add 2. When there is a seventh used in the chord we then say ninth. Like ascending as in counting. Keeps its logical.

Awesome thankyou

Hi Bill, it ´s really exciting, to see how you´re feelin´with "your" chords! It´s seems to be an awesome dinner! Thanks a lot for your ambient and inspiring sounding!

You`re like the Bob Ross of Guitar :)

I love your enthusiasm! I wish I would have found your channel long ago! Cheers mate!

Outstanding and inspiring again!

Can we purchase the tabs of the chords?

Brother, so glad I found your channel. I'm only doing ambient now, and you help fill in the blanks! 🙏

Great lesson Bill, some cool idea's and sounds, i have discovered ambient is the way to go for my retired self, nice and slow

I wonder how many chords and variants there are that can be utilised for ambient guitar, especially when you consider all the ways one can play them

Ser Davos really knows his guitar!

Thanks!

Bravo..now how to connect that PF chord X X 8 0 6 0 into is puzzling my brain

I love learning. We usually end up playing the same things. It gets old so it’s exciting hearing new Melodies, chords etc. This Is a great start

Thanks for these chords! I am just getting into ambient guitar

Fantastic. I struggle with compressors for ambient music. The ones I have tried always get so noisy on the release. Any suggestions for another to try? Ta

🙏👍awesome... gonna try these!

Thanks so much for the inspiration! I need to go make a video after seeing this! Keep on playing!

Very cool - I'm a bit slow and would love to see the tabs - maybe a Patreon purchase or something?

Your videos are very helpful and informative

do you have any albums of you just playing. I find myself putting your videos on just to listen to the playing

Happy little trees! I love this, thank you!

Thank you for this :)

I really enjoyed this lesson,. More like this!
Thank you Bill.

Saving to learn! Thank you.

This is great. I play in a weird tuning most of the time, so I'll have to fiddle a bit with pencil & paper - but this is great. Thanks for continuing to grind these out. Also, thanks for explaining how the pedals interact with the technique. So many channels run down the changes but only briefly mention what's on their board - or go into detail about their gear but don't talk much about theory/technique. /// I wonder what the trolls on here (& that lurk in the comments of the small handful other ambient channels) &/or the guitar gods that say ambient & shoegaze musicians "can't play" (or at least the one who's last name rhymes with bonamassa) would think of your previous life as (for lack of a better description) a "prog metal guy"? /// Anyway, thanks again, great lesson.

found this so inspiring, thanks for sharing! Some of my favorite chords of all time (though not necessarily in the context I'm about to share...) are the main chords from the intro of "Shimmer" by Fuel. I found myself using them all the time cuz I love how they sound.

I know Yoy can play C chord. Wow,
I'n impressed.. Could You play Eb chord please?

Love the lesson. I just recently discovered I like ambient playing.

I mostly came to find a video to say "BILL! I GOT AN ATOMIC FIREBALL FROM SWEETWATER TODAY!" lol

I'll stick around for the rest, though, because pretty music and learning.

Wow, You must be proud of Yourself. Playing the D major with "e" string on the third position produces D 4 chords. I can't believe how sophistiaced guitarist You are!

Bill, thank you for sharing! You are the ambient guitar guru, my man!
