I maen i can just sit down and play a lot of chords for 3 hours but then i really dont know what to do with them. And what chords shoud i learn, all of the main chords like 7, maj7, m7, 9, 6 11, m11, 13 etc. or should i learn some different vocings of some nice chords ?

If you play one chord whenever you pick the guitar up in about a week you should know it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Once you've learned the shape of the chords you can start to move fluently in relation to the fact that the shapes are all the same, but the notes change. I think, if I had to go about it again, I would start by learning the shapes of the major and minor chords, then learn major and minor 7th shape, then onwards... Of course, this is not in relation to keys, modes etc. at all, which is a nice addition to it all, but if you just want to learn chords, for me it's all about the shapes then.

As soon as I learned CAGED system, my whole chord knowledge made immediate sense. If you haven't started learning chords, I would definitely advise to go with CAGED system for chords (both major and minor shapes). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In other words, you will just add tensions to the chord within the actual position where you play regular chord. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
