Hey guys, in this guitar lesson we are going to develop the concept of playing small chords and how to get the most out of them.

A chord is a bunch of notes that we play together but do we have to play all the notes of the chord all the time? The answer is obviously no. In fact, in the chord progression, I am about to show I am mainly playing small chords played with just three strings and sometimes with root note and 3rd.

So, small chords can have a massive impact on your playing. They are easy to move up and down the neck and it’s also easy to add single notes and melodies.

I am explaining this concept on my electric guitar but you can definitely apply it on other chord progressions and music styles.

Enjoy this lesson.
