Continuing with the next set (the D, G, B strings), we repeat much of the same material from Chapter 1, with an added emphasis on progressions, different musical approaches for these shapes, chord melodies, and writing.

- Outer String Shapes - We go over an extremely common and great tool that comes from these small chord inversions. Simply removing the middle note of the chords gives us these little "pieces" of chords, or implied chords, that have endless uses.
- Power Up - Based on what we discussed in the previous lesson, we do a simple exercise that will help you memorize these movements.
- Improvising With These Shapes - Continuing with the outer string chord shapes, I go over some simple but very important ways to improvise using these shapes. Not only does it sound great, but it will also force you to really focus on knowing where your chord tones are in your lead.
