Ready to make your chords sound bigger, richer, and way more impressive? In this course, you’ll learn the Big One Chord Wonder—a powerful right-hand shape that works over virtually any chord in your left hand. Not only will this simple technique transform your accompaniment, but it will also open the door to fresh, memorable solos that break you out of the same old scales and patterns. Get ready to add a huge sound to your playing with one incredibly versatile tool.
