Learning these new guitar chords will help expand your chord vocabulary while being easy to make use of in your chord progressions right away. And I won't just be showing you the guitar chord shapes in this lesson, I'll also sprinkle in some important music theory as well.

you just opened up the fretboard for me, I've been using only dominant 7th chords because I didn't understand the maj7/min7 chords. Thank you so much!

could you maybe do a lesson like this for diminished, augmented and sus chords? An easy lesson like this showcasing the chords with A/E shapes (I know I can find that online but I find your tutorials more interesting)

Also, this made me realize I need to go back and work harder on my barre chords because I'm still cramping and getting some muted notes when I try to do these new ones.
