Six String Country

You're going to learn 4 chord families — the core shapes plus the variations that country players actually use. By the end, you'll know every chord you need to play 10 songs.

A capo is a clamp that goes across all the strings at a specific fret. It raises the pitch of all strings equally, so you can play the same chord shapes in a different key.

We use a capo because chords with open strings sound different than barre chords where our fingers are touching every string. If you need to use a capo for any of our lessons, it will tell you which fret to put the capo on at the top of the chord chart.
