by Simon Candy
In this video, you learn common chord extensions and alterations for guitar.
Embellishing and extending chords are a great way to get more out of the shapes you already know. They can transform a mediocre sounding progression into something much more sophisticated without you necessarily learning any new chords.
In this lesson, I take a simple open chord progression and run you through several ways you could go about dressing it up using extensions, alterations, and embellishments.
I will first demonstrate how to do this on single chords, before putting them together to create some great, advanced sounding, progressions that are super simple to play!
In addition to all this, you learn a method for creating your own chord extensions and embellishments. It’s not hard, and will instantly make any progression you play on your guitar sound better.
