We start with the top three strings, the G,B, and E strings. Heavy focus on inversions, connecting these shapes to each other, exercises, modifying them at will, and soloing around them.

- Modifying the Shapes - Probably the most important element of practicing these chords, memorizing the adjacent notes to the standard chord tones and experimenting with putting them in the shapes. We talk about the idea and then go over a basic exercise that will force you to modify.
- How I Practice - This is how I would naturally go about practicing with these added notes and melodies.
- Power Up - Simple exercise to help you get comfortable with adding these nearby notes to the shapes.
- Scale/Chord Practice - A quick way to practice combining scales and these small chord shapes. We will discuss this more down the road, but you can get started with this simple concept.
