        i like the idea which comes up in the lessons about using the dominant 7 chords to create tension and then resolving so eg you play a7 bar chord to a d7 in the c shape and resolve to g7 or variation. it’d be cool to have a lot of these tension and release chord voicings and ideas compartmentalized into one place. another one ive seen used in lessons is
        x x11 12 11 12
        resolving to d in the e shape at the 12 fret (top 4 strings only) any other ideas or links to lessons regarding this appreciated

          Lesson EP370 and EP371 explains the concept of secondary dominants. I pretty sure there are other lessons that explain it as well but they did not show up in the search. Where did you learn about it from?

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.
