Building Chords - Ch.3 | Spread Power Ups (Strumming and Muting)
Added 2025-09-23 14:00:19 +0000 UTCThis exercise will continue to feature Spread Voicings but in a pop/rock context where we are strumming them. This is a very chordy passage that will require us to not only learn all of the changes, but also learn the rhythm (by ear!) and focus on muting unwanted open strings. Alongside the full Spread shapes, we will also go over the "power chord" version of these shapes/inversions which can be really useful when playing with distortion. Hopefully you enjoy this one!

Comments
I like the sound of these - punchy, uncluttered but still carrying enough colour. Underrated sounds (imo)!
