How to Write Guitar Chord Voicings with Shell Voicings
Want to create guitar parts, but not sure how to write chord voicings?
Through this video, you'll know one of the most useful ideas for writing natural-sounding guitar chords: shell voicings.
By learning a few simple shapes, you can start building major 7th, minor 7th, and dominant 7th chords much more easily.
Instead of memorizing lots of separate chord forms, you just need to understand the rule.
In this video, we’ll cover:
What shell voicings are
Why the root, 3rd, and 7th are enough
How to build Maj7, m7, and 7 chords
How to use them in a simple II–V–I progression
This is especially helpful if guitar isn’t your main instrument but you still want to write convincing guitar parts.
