Description

Welcome to my Complete Guitar Chord Construction course! Suppose you've ever attempted to learn all the triads, sevenths, and their extensions. In that case, you've likely realized it involves not just thousands but tens of thousands of iterations. This process can be daunting; even professionals don't memorize every chord. Instead, they understand chord formulas and how to extend them across the fretboard. In this course, I'll guide you through this process, enabling you to understand triad and seventh chord construction, manipulate specific notes, and expand your chord vocabulary without resorting to rote memorization. We'll also explore naturally occurring chords, ensuring you grasp major, minor, and diminished chords in any key.


Additionally, we'll delve into extensions, such as the seventh chords like C7#9 (the Hendrix chord), so you can create them on the fly. You'll know how to understand and create chords efficiently by the end, making thousands of chords accessible anytime. I'm excited for you to join this course, where you'll likely learn more about chords than in any other course you've taken.
