Massively Expand Your Chord Vocabulary (Without Mindlessly Memorising Shapes)

If you've spent years memorising chord shapes without really understanding what you're playing, this video is for you. Rather than learning chords one at a time, I'm breaking down how chords are actually constructed — focusing on intervals and how they relate to each other on the fretboard. Once you understand the logic behind chord construction, your vocabulary can grow massively in a fraction of the time it would take through rote memorisation alone. In this video you'll learn: How chord formulas work How to construct and manipulate chords from using those formulas How to apply this knowledge to rapidly expand your chord vocabulary Whether you're an intermediate player looking to level up or you've always wanted to understand the theory behind the shapes your fingers make, this one should be a real eye opener.
