How to Learn Extended Chords Introduction — Complete Learning Flow
Step 1: Foundation
Study the chord diagram above carefully. Note which fingers go on which frets and strings. Identify the root note.

Place your fingers one at a time starting with the anchor finger. Press firmly with fingertips just behind the fret wire.
Step 3: Verification
Strum each string individually from low to high. Listen for any buzzing or muted notes. Adjust finger angles until every string rings clear.
Step 4: Refinement
Strum the complete chord with a slow steady downstroke. Let it ring and listen to the full harmony. Does it sound correct?
Step 5: Repetition
Practice lifting all fingers off and reforming the chord shape from scratch. Repeat 20 times until placement becomes automatic.

Set a metronome to 40 BPM. Practice transitioning between this chord and one chord you already know. Change on each beat.
