Guitar Sessions 45: Easy open-string chords up the neck

The guitar offers so many beautiful sounds when you combine notes fretted up the neck with open strings. With easy fingerings—no barre required—you can create lush extended chords with fancy names that sound like you’re in an alternate tuning, while your guitar remains in standard.

In this episode of Guitar Sessions, based on a chapter in my book Beyond Strumming, I share handy shapes that you can use to add depth and variety to a chord progression.

On Patreon you can download the chord library, plus access an extended video lesson that covers additional shapes and progression examples.
