This is where what Mark likes to call “Tiny Chords” comes into play.
Tiny Chords are a pivotal part of both Mark’s rhythm and lead playing. They are what enable him to come up with hooky, creative, and unique-sounding guitar parts that both stand out but also don’t take over the other instruments in a band.
If you are ready to move past using standard open-position cowboy chords or chunky bar chord rhythm guitar parts then Tiny Chords might be just what the doctor ordered.
You will be amazed at just how much the Tiny Chords will enhance your blues, rock, R&B, funk, or even country progression parts. Plus tiny chords are a fantastic way to open up your knowledge of the fretboard.
Imagine being able to play entire chord progressions in one spot on the neck using just three notes, or being able to see tiny chords all over the neck so no matter what format of band you are playing with you can always find a part that fits.
What about being able to learn completely new open and sophisticated-sounding chords all over the neck again using as little as three notes? Sounds good right!?

They will add that seasoned guitar player touch to your rhythm parts and at the same time completely open up your melodic sensibilities.
