Hey guys, welcome to another fingerpicking lesson. Today I am going to show you how to make any chord super simple to play no matter which chord you have to play or learn.

Any chord on the guitar can be simplified in two different ways.

• 1. By breaking down each chord note by note and playing the root, 3rd, and 5th separately in the most melodic way.
• 2. By playing a reduced number of strings.

In this lesson, we are going to explore both approaches by analyzing and playing two chord progressions.

The first chord progression, inspired by the famous “Canon in D”, is played step-by-step from root note to more articulated chords. The second chord progression is entirely played with extended chords and made simple by taking advantage of the fingerpicking technique.

I hope you enjoy this lesson guys.
