Practice the chords below until you can play them smoothly from start to finish. Once you can play them with ease try thinking what chord tensions you are playing as you go. We have layed the chords out to play the upper tensions chromatically up the guitars fretboard.
Note: All the chords are played on the inside 5 strings. Example: The 2nd chord is your basic C7 and the upper tension is Db (on the 2nd string) this is a b9 making C7 = C7b9 The third chord uses a 9 making a C7=C9 You get the idea! Try to incorporate this into your own playing. The chord tensions are written above the chords for your convenience.
