Guitar Sessions 47: The low fifths trick

Here’s a simple way to create powerful, distinctive chord voicings: by playing the fifth of the chord below the root.

This is a type of slash chord with a thick, muscular sound that can be very effective. The lesson covers how to find these chords and provides a library of open and closed/movable shapes.

On Patreon you can download the chord chart library.

For a deeper dive into many types of slash chords, see this episode.
