Hello, and this is the How To Play The B Guitar Chord -- B Major Chord Guitar Tutorial. I will show an easy B Major Guitar Chord alternative to the more 'regular' version, which is playing the B Chord as a bar chord in the 7th fret of your guitar. We'll start out with of course, the B Major chord. Let's just go ahead and play these real quick. So we've got B, okay, which uses your -- preferably your middle, ring, and pinky finger down here on the second fret. And then we've got the B Guitar Chord, which is and then we've got D, which is carried over from the last lesson. So what's cool about this is that you can use whatever you learned in the last lesson in this lesson, so it just builds, and you start to see yourself make progress a little faster. It gives you sort of a little better sense of accomplishment. The B Guitar Chord can be played in several different ways. The most popular method is to play it in the 7th Fret as a bar chord. The finger position is the same as for an F-Chord, but you just move everything up so your index finger is barring the 7th fret. So if this is the video you've watched, watch video 1 before you watch this one and that way, you'll be able to integrate whatever it was you learned in the first video in this video. So let's go over the key of B Major. Let's name the notes of the key of B, and let's go over a little bit about the process -- I know, this is going to get redundant a little bit and you probably are going to be like, "gosh you know, you've told me this enough times", but I'm going to go ahead and we're going to talk about the process of extracting a key, and if you want to really learn about it, check out our music theory video section. It goes into the extraction method, and how to find out what notes are in any key ever, okay -- and that is in the European diatonic scale. Of course, we're not dealing with, you know, Middle Eastern scales, or Hungarian minor scales, or anything like that - but that's a little down the road. But just like all the other videos on this site, we're going to be adding new things. There is a musical oddities section that's currently under construction -- probably not anymore -- but if it is, it's going to contain altered scales and exotic stuff in there, and just general weirdness. Okay, so let's go ahead and get started. The chord of B Major on Guitar once again is extracted by using the template that's created by the key of C. Two whole steps, then a half step, and 3 whole steps, and a half step, and if you download your PDF for this video -- and by the way, there are 4 audio tracks that you can download in the description of this video up there to the right of this video. If you click on the link, you'll download a zip file -- you have to unzip it, and then there's 4 MP3 files in there that you can use to play at 4 different speeds to play this B major guitar chord progression. And these progressions are universal -- you can play them forwards, backwards, you can start in the middle, go to the end and then come back around front and you know, do the first line or whatever, but that just allows you to play it at different speeds. I'm going to play at pretty much mediocre speed -- not too fast, not too slow. But there's one in there that's [?], it's like 130 beat a minute. Alright, so let's go ahead and get started -- I'm going to think we're going to get started here if I don't stop talking.
