Thanks Chris, to me this is the 'RHCP' voicing - very useful for mixing chordal work with melodic embellishments!

Hey GMC!
I’m excited to be able to bring you lesson 3 in the ‘Introducing Barre Chords’ Course.
In this lesson we’ll be taking a look at the C chord shape and looking at how to barre it. This is definitely a level up for the fingers, especially the pinky so take your time but know the rewards are worth the effort.
From players like John Frusciante, Tosin Abasi and Julian Lage, this chord shape is used by the worlds greatest players.
Make sure to give lesson 1 and 2 a look before trying this as we will be using shapes from those lessons as well.
Grab your guitar, tune up and let’s get started!
