Katy Lou drops by the Cabin to teach us some vital swing chord shapes. We’ll learn two each of 6th & 7th chords, then a minor and diminished shape. Finally, we’ll apply it to Faded Love in D. Ahaaaa…
This was perfect for getting into this style. Much appreciated taking the time on this!
Can you post your mandolin part for Faded Love, too?
I’ll put it on the list, thanks!
Do you have any other tunes with swing chords on guitar?
HI! Welcome to the Forum.
You can use the menu on the left of the lesson page to filter for things like that, just like you can for instrument or skill level…just scroll down farther and look through the “collection” or “Tag” lists to se if there is something there.
Below is the link for the filter “swing” under “tags”

Thanks for the question and bumping this thread. The swing chord material covered in this lesson is everything Katy explained to me at camp plus some. This is way better organized than my notes.
Is it acceptable to follow a measure of G6 with a full measure of G#dim?
Is there a reason not to?
thanks
That’s a fun lesson, thanks.
Love never fades, if it’s true love.
One of the 7 zillion lessons on the site I’ve overlooked until today. This is perhaps one of the best recorded guitar lessons on YouTube or online as far as instructions technique. Ben’s not playing the guitar but pointing at the strings and fingers. He’s asking questions like what string is this, why are we doing this? Super easy to follow yet makes us think. There’s lots of videos on the internet of someone demonstrating a cord and saying “See how I’ve got my 2nd finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string and my other one is on the 4th when we get to that 3rd beat? Of course that’s because in this case we are going to the 2 chord before the 5 chord which is not usual in D”. Katy Lou deserves a raise.
