Finishing off these small inversions, we finally cover the final strings sets which will give us the ability to cover the fretboard. We take everything we have learned from the previous chapters, and apply those things in every possible permutation on the neck.

- Covering the Fretboard - As we take the same three inversions and build the shapes on the next set of strings (the A-D-G strings), we notice that the shapes on the final strings set (E-A-D) will actual look the same. This allows us to cover every possible string set with small chord shapes, putting us on a path of total fretboard domination.
----------
- Power Up - Vertical/Horizontal - With the new set of shapes on the final string sets, we go through three different power ups that focus on connecting these inversions horizontally, vertically, or a mixture of both across the fretboard. We will once again reinforce the idea of covering the neck with these shapes.
----------
- Power Up - Octave Jumping - Using a very simple strategy of taking a chord shape and jumping up/down an octave to the same chord shape on a different string set, we gain yet another strategy we can use to cover the fretboard. I find this strategy very useful when learning new shapes, as it can often feel like a "buy-one-get-one" chord scenario where you can learn two shapes for the price of one. This concept is also very useful for leads, giving us a visually simple way to play arpeggios.

- **Emergency Holiday Chord Melody - Using concepts we just talked about, I go through the process of creating a chord melody for Feliz Navidad (this video was released on Dec 24th, 2024)**
----------
- Practice Strategy Summary - We go over a summary of what I think would be a good practice strategy whenever working on anything chord related. I summarize everything into a seven point strategy, and we go over a bunch of chord scenarios where we can use these strategies to get some great practice in.
