Alternate Shell Voicings - E String Root
Added 2025-06-13 19:25:46 +0000 UTCAnother important set of basic guitar chord vocabulary. These are quite easy to play, but for whatever reason, are less commonly known.
The idea is to take your basic 1-3-7 shell voicing and reorder it as 1-7-3. This creates a bit more space in the voicing which, in turn, creates a more mellow sound.
Since they're easy to play, they are great in riffs. Try to individuate the notes etc. If you like CHON, i'd definitely say you should learn these!
Cheers,
