How To Imply Chords In A Progression Using 6th Harmony On Guitar

In this lesson, I show you how to use the 6th harmony when fingerpicking guitar. I show you this by applying 6th harmony to a typical chord progression. In doing so, you won’t actually play a single chord. Instead you will imply the chords through the use of 6th harmony. What you are about to see is an excerpt from a masterclass I taught in Chicago, USA. In this class you learn how to imply the chords of a progression using 6th harmony. You also learn the very cool effect of adding open droning strings to the harmony for an even cooler sound!
