A 2-part Chord Extensions lesson which builds on our previous basic chord groups. We will be adding on to the basic C group with 'extensions' to the basic chords.

Let's continue from the previous C Extensions family, but this time we are playing the same chords up the neck using barre chords. They are played here using what's known as a 'ripple' technique.

Tune the guitar like the D dropped but one tune down, that is C in the first string, A in the second string, F in the third string, C in the fourth string, G in the fifth string and, finally, C in the sixth string. This tune can give you and extra heavy sound!
