TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 – Intro etude
3:51 – Voicings used to connect D, Bm and G chords
6:51 – Another way of playing those same voicings
7:58 – Two different chord types/voicings for the D and Bm chords
10:55 – One more example of connecting chord voicings
Welcome to today’s lesson!
The topic of today’s video is connecting chord types/voicings that share multiple notes when playing major chord progressions. Recently I was watching a Mark Lettieri lesson on the PRS Guitars YouTube channel where he demonstrated various chord types and voicings that you could use to make a I vi ii V progression in D major sound really interesting.
I had a play around with some of the voicings he demonstrated and that led to me writing the etude that you hear at the start of the video.
In that etude, there are multiple points at which I made very deliberate choices about the chord voicings I used. I wanted to see if I could find shared notes between the I vi and IV chords that make up the A section of the etude.
Connecting chord voicings that share multiple notes can give your chord progressions a fresh sound and I think it’s something that’s worth experimenting with if you’re used to playing the same old basic open and barre-chord shapes and are looking to expand your chord vocabulary.
The bonus content for this lesson – available exclusively to members of bulletproofguitarplayer.com – includes two full breakdown lessons of the A & B sections of the etude with a lot of attention paid to the chord voicings used. Two downloadable PDF attachments have been created to supplement these section breakdowns.
You will also find a video of the etude played with the TAB & notation overlaid on screen. The Guitar Pro & PDF TAB files can be downloaded underneath the video.

Hey Ross..⭐
Damn..- U really got talent, my friend or teacher ..
U teach me so much cool stuff..
– that gain me with nice influence in my play ..✨!!!
Thank you so much..????
????
Nice video, man! Some really nice insights! I came here after watching your gravity solo version, that was gorgeous!! Are you from Scotland? Or I’m just terrible at accents hahaha keep up, mate!
Great lesson cheers
Great technique and tone.
Lovely "tune" nice chords, is it me or was there a diagram saying minor 11 when it was actually a straight 11th chord ? just after the D major sus2 ? anyway no big deal just thought there was an error slipped in there somehow. Great stuff as usual will enjoy learning your tune, all the best.
Would have loved to hear without all the reverb
just discovered you! fantastic stuff Greetings from nyc! what exact strat is that? model/year? I appreciate it thank you
Wow, thanks for this video.
I’m really loving your guitar tone. What kind of Strat is that? Vintage 60’s or Custom Guitar? Also, I heard a blackface style amp? Which amp are you using?
Nice one Ross! This is definitely one of the most inspiring channels for guitarist on YouTube. You got me out of a deep rut a few years back and I thank you for that.
Ps. I'm really glad you saw the light and put the proper pickups back in your strat a bit back lol.
What about the chords @ 00:30 – 01:15 ?!
purchased your bullet proof course un UDemy, can this be transferred to your site?
Brilliant! I didn't have this much fun with chords/structures/progressions in a looooooong time! You certainly know this abolutely, but being more of a lead guitarist, those… CHORDS… Of course, I started with chords and simple melodies. But playing OVER progressions for years, instead of creating them yourself at least, makes you kind of a chord-dislexic. 😀 Do you know this phenomenon? I really dig playing chords/songs recently. So this came right on point. 😉 Thank you!
Hey watch me think my way thru this progression/playing with feeling is so over rated.
Great lesson❤ . Great Chord voicing ❤ . Always feels joy learning music from you ????
I love the way you play and would have a lot to learn from it. I saw the link to buy the tele but nothing for the strat.. Where can I please find more info on your guitar and gear? Thanks!
What happened with Dimarzio pickups on this guitar?
Another Top notch lesson! Ross ur one of the best teacher and player on youtube. I love ur teaching style and playing.
Fantastic playing and beautiful Tone
Almost an Angelo badalamenti / twin peaksy vibe.
Nice to see you pal. ????
Going for a hip new clean cut look? ????
You're looking great and playing excellent as usual. ????
I'll email you when I can. ????
J.
Damn, that was a fun excursion! Thx… I just tried that with some jazz voicings, great changes! Allows for some really nice passing notes! It opens things up and extends chordal sound.
that fiesta red, goodness gracious ????
Beautiful chords ????
Amazing sound. Tone is amazing and reverb is super lush.
