by Simon Candy

In this video, you learn 3 beautiful chord progressions that are easy to play and sound amazing!

Playing standard chord progressions on guitar is perfectly fine, but there are plenty of ways to transform these into emotional and beautiful music. In fact, many of these variations are just as easy, if not easier, to play than the original versions.

In this lesson, you learn 3 beautiful chord progressions that use non standard, unique chord shapes including the add 9 chord, minor add 9 chord and the major 7 chord amongst others. The third progression shows you a neat little trick that will allow you to play all over the fretboard using the same chord shape for a very cool sound.
