Add a new interval that will bring more sophistication to your guitar sound. 20:44 – Level 7 Throw in a turnaround in the chord progression to get another cool transition into restarting the song. 22:46 – Level 8 Replace your dominant chords with a tritone substitution. PS – this level is easier to play than the previous level…your fingers will thank you! 27:38 – Level 9 Incorporate different tritone substitutions and re-harmonizations to the song. 31:14 – Level 10 Just play guitar but really FEEL what you’re playing!
