Finally Understand Chords—From Triads to the Most Advanced Extensions
Most Guitarists freeze up when they see complex chord symbols—sevenths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and those intimidating “big ass” jazz chords.
They look overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. Chord Craft Crash Course breaks everything down step-by-step, showing you exactly how chords are built, how to use them in Metal (and any style), and how to create your own voicings anywhere on the neck.
How Chords Really Work:
Finally understand how basic chords turn into advanced ones, and see the logic behind every chord you’ll encounter.
Decoding Chord Symbols:
Learn to read and understand any chord symbol (maj7, min7♭5, 13, add9, ♯11, etc.) and know exactly which notes to play.
Practical Shortcuts:
Discover simple, reliable ways to build and modify chords—no memorization of hundreds of shapes required.
10 Essential ‘Seed’ Voicings:
Master ten core major 7 shapes, then quickly transform them into every other seventh chord type—building a massive chord vocabulary fast.
Extensions Made Easy:
Confidently add 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths to your chords, and understand how these extensions fit into real music.
Altered & Advanced Chords:
Demystify ♯9, ♭9, ♯11, ♭13, minor-major 7, and fully diminished 7 chords—learn how and when to use them for color and tension.
Metal & Beyond:
See how “jazz” and “fusion” chords appear in real metal riffs and progressions, and why knowing these gives you more creative options for songwriting, soloing, and jamming.
Voice Leading & Musical Flow:
Learn why knowing multiple voicings in one area of the neck makes your rhythm playing and writing sound pro-level and musical.
