Add Extensions and Melodies to Basic Chords

extensions, melody, and strumming

Hey guys, let me show you how to transform basic chords into something more fun and creative to play. If you want to find a way to spice up chords, this lesson will help you!

Basic chords are the most played chords by beginners. We refer to basic chords like the ones you play within the first three frets of the guitar neck. Chords such as C major, D major,  E minor, A minor, D minor, etc. are considered basic chords.

The one thing you probably don’t know is that you can add additional notes to the chords, called extensions, to make chords more interesting.

In this chord progression G – Em – C – D I am going to show you how to add an extension to the chords, add simple melodies and combine strumming with fingerstyle.

Enjoy this lesson guys 🙂
