It's time for another guitar lesson video! In this video, I wanted to show you a great chromatic lick I've found to get to the D7 chord in a cool-sounding way.

I first discovered this while playing the song "Leaving My Troubles" with the Gilbert Family. (Watch the videos of the full solo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xa0C1h4u64 and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mgy_HZx57A). Once I discovered it, I couldn't stop playing it, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way!

I'm using my Martin DCX1E guitar, which is no longer manufactured since I've been working with my Breedlove Revival DR-Deluxe guitar on my album. You can find other Martin guitars similar to this one by clicking here: http://amzn.to/2gZIKbW

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey toward personal success!

P.S. Please consider getting a copy of my book "SMART FOCUS Book 1: How to Stay S.M.A.R.T. and Achieve Your Most Important Goals One Step at a Time" (Kindle or Paperback: http://amzn.to/2gMX5uB), leaving your honest and unbiased review after reading it (http://amzn.to/2gN3DJG), and sharing with your friends so that others can benefit from learning to achieve their most important goals all year round.
