Licking Advanced Chords Guitar: Guitar Video

Watching an experienced hand navigate the fretboard with precision and clarity. The video format makes abstract chord theory tangible and gives you a clear visual reference for how advanced chords actually look and move under the fingers.

Guitarists who have moved beyond basic open and barre chords and are ready to expand into jazz voicings, extended harmonies, and other advanced harmonic vocabulary. This video is ideal for self-directed learners, private students working on technique refinement, and ensemble players who need to deepen their harmonic knowledge.

• Work through one chord at a time rather than trying to absorb the entire video in one sitting; pause frequently to practice the shape on your own instrument
• Pay close attention to finger angles and pressure points shown in the video, as these details determine whether a chord rings clearly or mutes
• Practice chord-to-chord transitions repeatedly, matching the pace shown in the video before attempting to play faster

Assign this to ensemble members who need stronger harmonic literacy for jazz or contemporary repertoire, or use clips in sectional rehearsals to demonstrate specific voicings before running through a piece. For private instruction, this works well as a supplement between lessons, allowing students to review material at their own pace.

• Advanced chord voicing recognition and naming
• Finger independence and dexterity on complex shapes
• Efficient chord-to-chord transitions
• Hand positioning for extended harmony
• Harmonic vocabulary beyond basic triads
