Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Minor 7ths sit between minor and major in feel. The course covers the shapes and the songs they show up in most often. Learn minor 7th chords

This is the definitive original version of Him by Rupert Holmes, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

It is designed for guitarists ready to move past the basics and capture the true feel of Rupert Holmes's performance.
