It's crazy that it's actually really simple but still difficult to explain. I'm sure there's lot of great lesson videos in Youtube for this. Modern players doesn't use upstroke that much but I like it because it gives fuller sound and more drive at least to me.

I came here to talk about it. It called Le Pompe. And it’s fugging hard. All in the downstroke. YouTube it or OP can cover it as he’s much better than me at it.

It's funny how context matter. This is my Dorian chord. But in your context, it sounds more gypsy jazz

I’ve got back into guitar again and seeing this makes we want to practice proper! Wish I could jump between frets so flawlessly and make it sound that good…got a lot of work to do. Awesome playing OP

Thank you very much! Start at a tempo you can handle and gradually increase it. Progress takes patience so allow it to unfold in its own time.

Right or wrong, I hear the theme from Super Mario Sunshine being played over these chords.

Nice to hear it with all the notes played. Nothing like jamming with a jazz player who hits two notes and calls it a chord.

My guy, not only did this inspire me to pick up my guitar tonight and play this, but I just got a bunch of new ideas for 6 stuff I would not have thought about. I continued playing for another hour and got super creative. Thanks and may the music gods bless you ✌🏽

This is awesome! It’s amazing how that one chord shape opens up an entire style/genre of music.
Thank you so much for sharing

When you swap to those 9 chords shouldn’t the root be hopping up to the fifth string? Sounds amazing, going to try to copy you now-

u/KarMik81 2d ago
Thank you! You don't need change to fifth string. You can also try to press both 6th and 5th strings simultanously with your middle finger in those 9 chords, especially when played slower rhythms but in these fast runs it's not necessary.
