G major chord scale up the top three strings E, B, G. This is the answer to day 5, the same arpeggios, but in ascending order. These are the triads G, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, and F#dim, with the G triad repeated at the top. More to come!

❄️ ICE STORM PRACTICE CHECK-IN ❄️ Roads are icy. Plans are cancelled. This is one of those rare days where the world slows down — which is perfect for guitar. Grab the Snowed-In Guitar Practice Journal, set a 10-minute timer, and post what you worked on. Video or text both count. Let’s turn cabin fever into fretboard progress 🎸🔥 A major ice / winter storm is rolling in — which means plans are cancelled, roads are quiet, and distractions are minimal. Instead of fighting it… we’re using it. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, go deep, and put focused time into your guitar. You don’t need power‑chord volume. You don’t need a perfect setup. You just need a guitar, a timer, and intention. 🌨️ Storm Day Practice Entry Date: How much time do I realistically have today? ☐ 10 minutes ☐ 15 minutes ☐ 30 minutes ☐ 45+ minutes 🎯 Today’s Focus (ONE Thing Only) When the world slows down, progress speeds up.

Do you know the formula for the Major Scale… without understanding this, the keys I was talking about may not make much sense?! Questions?!

Starting the challenge over... starting on day 2 today... it took me all weekend to edit this video, and there's still stuff I would like to add to it or do differently... I might make this a part 2 and part 3... maybe a min course... we'll see... Thanks for those who have engaged with it so far... @Ricardo Ponce @Eric Smith @Urian Alleman Ayers!! Hey Guitar Heroes! Welcome to Day 2 of the challenge—and today we’re diving into a BIG mindset and skill shift when it comes to guitar chords. If you've ever felt overwhelmed flipping through chord books, trying to memorize a million shapes—you are not alone. But here's the truth: 👉 You don’t need more chords. 👉 You need to **understand and explore** the ones you already know. In today’s video, I’ll show you how to: ✅ Take a basic open chord and create 3-5 variations by changing **just one note** ✅ Move familiar chord shapes **up the neck** to create powerful new voicings ✅ Turn your chord book into a **creative springboard** (not a memorization trap) This is the stuff that *real guitar freedom* is made of. --- 🎯 TODAY’S CHALLENGE: 1. Pick 3 chords you already know 2. Create 3 new variations of each by changing ONE note 3. Move each of those shapes up the neck and explore how they sound 4. **Post a video** or photo of your discoveries and tag it with... ` #Day2Challenge` 🎁 I’ll be watching the group and giving feedback—and maybe even hooking up some fun prizes. 👀 --- 💭 MINDSET SHIFT OF THE DAY: > You don’t need to memorize a thousand chords—you need to master a few and know how to play with them. This is how you build confidence, creativity, and control over your fretboard. --- 🔥 Drop your questions, ah-ha moments, and videos below. Let’s keep the momentum going—and I’ll see you in Day 3, where we try to revive some fun riffs, and maybe learn some new ones... 🎸💪 Keep Unleashing Your Inner Guitar Hero! 🎶🦸‍♂️

Different picking options, different chords voicings, late beginner to early intermediate.. Enjoy! Tell me what you think!
