Simple guitar chords that sound cool on an acoustic

Add some sparkle to acoustic progressions with this simple-to-understand chord tutorial from session and touring guitarist and educator Kenny Echizen. Learn how just a couple of shapes up and down the neck can breathe life into standard open-position changes, adding instant flair and sophistication to your playing.

You can also see how Echizen does this with the help of some Elixir acoustic strings.

“The Elixir Phosphor Bronze Strings with Nanoweb Coating are not only long lasting, but always sound great in the mix,” Echizen says.

Elixir Strings provides three string types in its acoustic line, all with the same longest-lasting tone. The Phosphor Bronze strings with Nanoweb Coating are rich and full-bodied with sparkling high-end clarity and a smooth feel. 

The 80/20 Bronze with Nanoweb Coating are bright and focused with the same smooth feel as the Phosphor Bronze strings. Rounding out the acoustic line, the 80/20 Bronze with Polyweb Coating deliver a warm tone and slick and fast feel. Check them out.
