Welcome to Guitar Chords Mastery!

This course has been specially designed to help specifically beginner to intermediate guitar players master chord playing all over the fretboard.

I'm sure at this point you've seen how professionals rarely stay on the first 4 frets of their guitar when playing chords for a song. They're literally all over the fretboard! This is because they understand how chords are constructed and they also know where their root notes are. The combination of chord construction knowledge and knowing the notes on their fretboard gives them total access to any chord anywhere on the fretboard.

The primary goal of this course is to help you get there!

Here is how the course is structured and how it will work:

-You will start by learning every note on your guitar fretboard. My note memorization section in the course will get you there very quickly.

-You will learn foundational music theory that is essential for chord construction

-You will learn the chord construction formula for every foundational chord : Major, Minor, Sus2, Sus4, Minor 7, Major 7, Dominant 7, Diminished, and Augmented

-You will learn chord progressions as exercises to help you get used to playing different types of chords and combinations of them

-You will learn how to play the most basic open chords then learn how to move these chords all over the fretboard

-You will learn a unique approach of seeing chords all over the fretboard from a 6 string, 5 string, and 4 string perspective.

-You will learn how to play great sounding slash chords. Understanding how slash chords are constructed will allow your chord playing to sound more exotic and professional.

-You will learn strumming and picking techniques that are necessary for chord expression

-You will learn about triads and how to find them all over the fretboard.

-You will also learn how to apply triads in the context of a song. What use is a triad if it can't be applied to music?

-You will learn the CAGED system and understand why it is so important for chord visualization all over the fretboard

-For those who like playing guitar solos, you will learn a very powerful concept called the "CAGED Pentatonic Connection". This will help take your lead playing to the next level.

-You will learn how to play the same chord progression in any position of the fretboard. This sets apart the amateurs from the professionals.

-You will learn the Nashville numbering system to prepare you for professional work in the music industry

-I will share with you my signal chain and what equipment I use to help you achieve the same guitar tone

By the end of this course:

-You will have the knowledge and ability to express chords of any given song tastefully in any position of the fretboard.

-You will sound more professional in your chord playing as you are no longer stuck to just open chords and bar chords.

-You will be able to play any chord, using any string set, in any position of the fretboard.

-At the end of the course, I will teach you how to play the entire song that I wrote for the intro of the promo video, I think you're going to love it!

Over 8 hours of guitar instruction focused primarily on the art of playing beautifully voiced chords all over the fretboard.

I'm just starting out and my improvements are already noticeable. Thank you so much for this course. Never really thought I could understand the fretboard like I do now. Really appreciate your work

Pure awesome, I'm rather advanced guitarist but remember - when you skip basics you fail at some point. Thanks EDIT: Ok, f*** it, I only thought I am advanced guitarist. Absolutely must have. Best course I've seen in my life.

Stap voor stap uitleg met voorbeelden die je meteen kunt toepassen. Soms is de vingerzetting niet zo duidelijk, maar met het bronmateriaal kom je er wel uit. Tevens worden akkoorden uitgebreid met de nodige variaties, waardoor je eigen fantasie geprikkeld wordt om eens wat anders te proberen dan de standaard akkoorden.

I like a variety of chords, it inspires me to do something other than original chords. Well executed course!

You might think all guitar courses are similar because they all teach you open chords, bar chords, strumming and what not. At least I used to think this way until I started on Mark's course. Simply put it - Mark is a artist and he knows what are beautiful sound and he cares enough to share what he loves with you. Unlike other instructors, either they don't know what sounds great or they hide those knowledge from us. Thank you, Mark.

This course is great! I've also been using his solo course as well. They cover a ton and ramp up in an easy to digest way. I have been committing at least 1hr a day to playing in the last month and take a few lessons and practice them. My chord knowledge has gotten better and i've become way more comfortable with the fretboard and knowing what chords I'm playing without needing to look at a guide. I recommend this course! and definitely his solo mastery too that is the course I started on. The only negative thing I have to say (hence the 4 stars only) is that sometimes when he is showing a chord or progression, he can accidentally mute some of the strings so you won't hear it as clean as it can be. This isn't a big drawback as his finger positions and knowledge and everything else are still correct.

Thank a lot... This is a really good course, if you want to build a perspective about how the we can use the fretboards in a dynamic way. This may be repetitive for the ones who have a bit of knowledge about music theory already. But the ideas discussed will surely help your music Journey.

Brilliant, Mark is such a great instructor. Very patient, doesn't go off on a random like some teachers. Course is exactly what was expected and more. Learning is fun and learnt so much. Just now worried if I put my guitar down I'll forget something!

I am giving 5 stars because it is a Super good course if you really follow the instructions disciplined, I learned all the neutral notes within a week on the fretboard. I do have some feedback tho 1. Please next time level your voice (more) with the audio of your guitar. I couldn't find a good balance with my volume knob between hearing you clearly and the guitar not deafening me. 2. Most of the course had excellent visual help, but when you get to the slash chord progressions it is sometimes hard to follow you because I can't see where your fingers are placed exactly. And because the chords are ''kinda special'' they also can't be found in the visual aid that was provided before. All and all im super happy I took this course, best purchase I ever did on Udemy so far. I can now write songs using my guitar.

I have been playing guitar for 4 years now, all through video lectures and never have I ever found a guitar course so thorough. This is the most concise and well explained guitar chords course that I've found anywhere. Note : I have also bought Mark's Guitar solo mastery course and that is just as fantastic as this one. Thank you, Mr. Shian!
