Heres how it works:
Starting with dominant 7th chords, youll first learn how to play root position chords. Slowly and with confidence, youll learn how to play dominant 7th chords in every inversion on the 6th, 5th, and 4th strings.
At this stage, youll be able to spell any dominant 7th chord backwards and forwards. And thats just the beginning!
Next, youll learn how to play minor and major 7th chords in any inversion on the 6th, 5th, and 4th strings. Sound hard? Its not! There is only a one-note difference between a dominant 7th and both the major and minor 7th chords. All you have to do is remember which note gets altered. Still sound hard? Its not! With some interactive quizzing from the Ultimate Guitar Chord Trainer and about 15 minutes a day, youll find remembering how to play these chords easy.
Think about it, now you could take just about any lead sheet and play the chords in a practically infinite number of combinations. But were still just beginning!
Now the fun really begins because youll begin to tackle some tougher chords, like minor-major 7ths, augmented 7ths, half-diminished and diminished.
Once youve completed this stage, you could stop and consider your chording skills quite advanced. But theres still more work you can do!
Anyone for ear training? You could even take the Ultimate Guitar Chord Trainer to work and use it for ear-training purposes (just dont let your boss catch you!).
You can see that the possibilities are infinite. How effective the Ultimate Guitar Chord Trainer is in increasing your knowledge of the fretboard is entirely up to you. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise, learning this stuff is hard, hard work. But, hopefully, the Ultimate Guitar Chord Trainer can make the process a little less painful!
