If you're getting tired of repeating yourself as a guitarist, new approaches to playing chords are a great way to get creative quickly. In this video lesson, Elixir® Strings artist and in-demand UK session guitarist Luca Faraone shows you how to play advanced chord shapes.

Luca focuses on suspended chords and extensions here to illustrate just how much impact they can have on your rhythm parts with simple changes. He encourages you to explore chords and move around the fretboard in an accessible tutorial that will help all players develop faster. 

Luca Faraone has played with Rita Ora, Craig David, Emeli Sandè and was the guitarist for Stormzy's acclaimed Glastonbury headline set in 2019. He uses Light Gauge .010-.046 Elixir® Strings with NANOWEB® Coating on his guitars.
