In this first step, you’ll learn how to play and understand the 10 open-position chords. These form the foundation for everything else you’ll do on the guitar!

In this step, you'll discover how all barre chords can be described and understood as one of the ten CAGED shapes. That’s right—there are only ten!
In this step, we learn how to connect all barre chords, using each of the ten open-position chords as a starting point!
Let's now extend all those barre chords from triads into min7, maj7, dom7, and min7b5. We use all shapes and keys!
In this step, we’ll play all the 7th-note chords using the cycle of fourths, but this time, always moving to the closest possible chord shape!
In this step, we replace each note of the major scale with a chord and play them up and down the scale—in all five shapes!
In this step, we play all the chord shapes around the major scale using the cycle of 4ths and 3rds!
In this final step, we bring everything together in one comprehensive master exercise. Once you can play this confidently, you can stop practising chords!
