        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?

          Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.
