Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the final shape in this series: the E shape. You are probably already familiar with this shape! It's one of the most common bar chords and usually the first movable shape folks learn on guitar. In this lesson, we put it all over the fingerboard and show how it connects to the G shape. In the next lesson, we'll put all the shapes together!

Here is the Jam Track: A Major I IV V IV Also attached below in mp3 form.

Once you're familiar with the relationship between these two shapes, move on to the final lesson in this series.

Post your homework and questions on the community forum and please post some audio or video of your practice sessions if you find some voicings of G and E shapes that you enjoy!

Hi Scott, great lessons. I may be missing something, but on page 2, the second sentence, did you mean to write "The G shape and the E shape share root notes on the E strings,.."
