Starting the challenge over... starting on day 2 today... it took me all weekend to edit this video, and there's still stuff I would like to add to it or do differently... I might make this a part 2 and part 3... maybe a min course... we'll see... Thanks for those who have engaged with it so far... @Ricardo Ponce @Eric Smith @Urian Alleman Ayers!! Hey Guitar Heroes! Welcome to Day 2 of the challenge—and today we’re diving into a BIG mindset and skill shift when it comes to guitar chords. If you've ever felt overwhelmed flipping through chord books, trying to memorize a million shapes—you are not alone. But here's the truth: 👉 You don’t need more chords. 👉 You need to **understand and explore** the ones you already know. In today’s video, I’ll show you how to: ✅ Take a basic open chord and create 3-5 variations by changing **just one note** ✅ Move familiar chord shapes **up the neck** to create powerful new voicings ✅ Turn your chord book into a **creative springboard** (not a memorization trap) This is the stuff that *real guitar freedom* is made of. --- 🎯 TODAY’S CHALLENGE: 1. Pick 3 chords you already know 2. Create 3 new variations of each by changing ONE note 3. Move each of those shapes up the neck and explore how they sound 4. **Post a video** or photo of your discoveries and tag it with... ` #Day2Challenge` 🎁 I’ll be watching the group and giving feedback—and maybe even hooking up some fun prizes. 👀 --- 💭 MINDSET SHIFT OF THE DAY: > You don’t need to memorize a thousand chords—you need to master a few and know how to play with them. This is how you build confidence, creativity, and control over your fretboard. --- 🔥 Drop your questions, ah-ha moments, and videos below. Let’s keep the momentum going—and I’ll see you in Day 3, where we try to revive some fun riffs, and maybe learn some new ones... 🎸💪 Keep Unleashing Your Inner Guitar Hero! 🎶🦸‍♂️
