Do you know what notes are actually inside the chords you play every day?
Most guitarists learn chord shapes in their first week and spend years playing them without knowing why those specific notes are there. That works fine until you hit a wall. You can’t figure out new voicings, you don’t know which notes you can swap out, and you’re stuck copying shapes instead of making your own. In this lesson, I walk through exactly how chords are built from scales and why the notes in the chords you already know are there.
In this lesson, you’ll learn:
- How any major chord is built from just three notes in the major scale (the 1st, 3rd, and 5th)
- Why a G major chord is G, B, and D. and where to find those notes all over the fretboard
- How the same chord can be voiced in multiple ways once you know the notes inside it
- The one concept that turns chord shapes from memorized positions into musical building blocks
