So far we haven't looked at chords that are too much of a stretch but maybe the G chord is the first challenging stretch. Good news! In this lesson we are going to look at hand stretches that are guaranteed to set us up for success when it comes to tackling the Blues riff in this lesson and also more chords that are yet to come in this course.
