Content

Starting with this video, we will embark on a very important journey into the most common transition chord in the history of music known as a "Secondary Dominant", or what I call a "5 of". Using the small chord shapes we have been playing, this concept is extremely easy to recreate on the fretboard and will explain a great deal of out-of-key chords that you will come across in your lifetime. I've definitely talked about this sound before on the Patreon, but we'll start fresh right here so everyone is on the same page.
