The Guitar Player's Bag of Trick Chords

Your Chords Deserve An Upgrade

Discover how to make simple songs sound rich and full with these
easy-to-learn chord variations.

You’ve been faithful to your open chords — the good old familiar shapes that got you this far. Maybe you’ve even ventured into barre chords or dabbled with a few extensions here and there.

But lately, something feels off.

Your playing sounds a bit flat, a little too predictable. You know there’s more to your sound, but every time you pick up the guitar, you fall back into the same old patterns — and it’s starting to wear thin.

You’re not alone. Most guitarists hit this point eventually.

The good news? You don’t need to relearn the whole fretboard or dive headfirst into complicated jazz voicings to level up.

You just need a few smart chord upgrades — practical shapes and substitutions that bring new life, color, and maturity to the way you play.

That’s exactly what Guitar Player’s Bag of Trick Chords is all about.

Turn Basic Chords Into Big Sound

You already know the basic shapes — and that’s great.

What this course shows you is how to take those familiar forms and make them sound fresh, professional, and far more interesting, using subtle modifications and smarter voicings.

You’ll learn how to add color with 6ths, 9ths, and suspended chords — and you’ll discover how to use open strings to create rich, resonant textures that sound like more than one guitarist playing.

You’ll also find out how to replace bland, stock chords with movable triads that bring energy and character to your rhythm playing — without adding unnecessary complexity.

The result? You’ll sound more polished, more creative, and more confident — even when you’re just playing the same three chords.

What You'll Learn Inside This Course

🎸 Movable Triad-Based Chord Shapes
These compact shapes travel up and down the neck easily and open up a whole new way of thinking about chords and voicing.

🎸 Extensions That Add Real Depth
Learn how to integrate 6ths, 7ths, 9ths, and more into your playing naturally — even if you’ve never used them before.

🎸 Open-String Magic
You’ll discover how to let those often-ignored open strings ring out in ways that create rich, layered tones and unique textures.

🎸 Real-World Song Examples
From The Beatles to Jack Johnson to The Tea Party, we’ll show you how to apply these concepts in real music so you can hear exactly how they sound in action.

🎸 Alternate Tuning Insights
If you’ve ever experimented with dropped tunings like D standard, you’ll appreciate the bonus lessons that show how these tricks translate seamlessly.

🎸 Strumming and Groove Tips
Because great chords still need great feel, we’ll break down timing, strumming, and how to make these voicings flow musically.

Everything is broken down clearly and step by step, so you always know what to play, how to play it, and more importantly, why it works.

Transform Your Playing With 40+ Unique Voicings

This course doesn’t just teach you a handful of cool voicings — it gives you a whole arsenal of over 40 powerful, road-tested chord shapes that work across countless musical styles.

These are the kinds of chords that sound like you know exactly what you’re doing — even if you’re still figuring it out. Some will feel instantly familiar. Others will stretch your fingers and your ears in the best way.

We’re talking:

  • Unexpected major and minor substitutions that instantly add flavor
  • Chords that blur the line between rhythm and lead
  • Add9, maj6, sus2, and slash chord variations that don’t show up in beginner books
  • Open shapes that create shimmering textures with zero extra effort

This isn’t about memorizing 100 weird diagrams — it’s about learning a small group of shapes that unlock big sonic variety, and understanding how to use them musically, not mechanically.

Whether you’re writing, jamming, or just trying to keep things interesting during practice, these chords will open doors you didn’t know existed.

And once you hear how they sit inside real songs — from The Beatles to The Tea Party — you’ll understand just how powerful a “trick chord” can be.

- Instant Access -
Backed By The "No Weasel Clauses" Guarantee

When you sign up, you’ll get instant, lifetime access to all video lessons, downloadable chord diagrams, bonus content, and more.

And if the course doesn’t noticeably improve your playing — if you don’t feel more confident, more creative, and more you when you pick up the guitar — you’re covered by our 60-Day No Weasel Clauses Guarantee.

No risk. No fine print. Just better playing, or your money back.
