These videos are related to the March 2012 issue of Guitar World. For the full text and tablature for the column, you can pick up the issue of newsstands now or in our online store.

In the March edition of "Talkin' Blues," Musicians Institute instructor Keith Wyatt looks at the versatility of sixth and ninth chords.

"The number of theoretically possible guitar chords is seemingly infinite," says Wyatt," but when it comes to playing a given style, most players wind up with a relatively small set of go-to voicings." Check out the videos below for tips on how to break out of these habits!

Thank You Mr. Wyatt. Your lessons are top-notch. I always learn something from you, as your lessons are consistently articulate and informative. Any player looking for real insight into the music would be hard pressed to find better lessons anywhere. PS: More about Albert Collins. I must have seen him about 15 times back in the 80's and he always blew my mind. What a performer and warm human being he was.

I love GW and have subscribed for years. That said, the magazine lessons are getting quite simplistic and very redundant. I would prefer far less talk, a larger variety of respected/known pro guitarists, and less obscure players.
