Thanks for watching! One-Take Tutorials are casual "workshop" videos filmed live and unedited. I'll put timestamps down below so you can skip around to the parts that interest you most. Feel free to leave suggestions for songs/topics you'd like to see me teach next. Would you like me to make a One-Take Tutorial on how to transpose or how to find the right key for your voice, for example?

Bonus: how about these rhyming rules of thumb I just thought of?

** Count Up 4 to Join the Corps -- this is your rule if you're playing with a mostly GCEA group and they don't have any baritone chord sheets for you. Count up 4 to find the GCEA shape you should play. Be sure to add the 7/m/sus/etc. if there is one. If they're all playing C, you need to count C D E F and play the GCEA "F shape" to play a true DGBE C chord.

** Count Up 5 to Keep Truth Alive -- this is your rule if you're playing a GCEA shape that you know but you don't know what the Baritone equivalent is. If you're playing the GCEA G shape, you can count G A B C D and know you are actually playing a DGBE D chord.

Clear as mud? :)
