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.

- Four String Chords - By combining the shapes we have on the G-B-E strings plus their lower counterparts on the D-G-B strings, we can start playing a chord that uses all 4 strings so far, the D-G-B-E strings. We start messing with each inversion by adding in some interesting notes, giving us chords that are only possible with at least 4 strings.
- 1-4-5's - All of this with the 1-4-5 chord progression. We will look at each of the three inversions and see which color notes work with which chords.
- Improv with 1-4-5's - One of my favorite ways to practice chords, connecting the shapes with little melodies. I go over a bunch of variations on simple movements and what I'm thinking about when I make them.
- Blues 1-4-5's - Taking everything we have done over the past few videos and modifying all of the chords to become dominant 7's. A core sound of standard blues genres as well as many other styles that sound "bluesy".
