Every chord is actually just 1 shape (this BLEW my mind)

What to study

Expectation Violation

Most guitarists learn chords one shape at a time and feel there's always another to memorise. The title says they're all just one shape, and the thumbnail shows it, three red dots. You can see the shape, but not how it covers every chord.

How the packaging works
Title

'Actually' pushes back on how chords are usually taught, and '(this BLEW my mind)' promises the creator had the same surprise the viewer is about to have.

Thumbnail

With only a fretboard and three red dots on black, there's nothing else to look at, and guitarists read chord diagrams instantly, so the shape is clear at feed size.

Remix this

When your big idea boils down to one simple pattern, show just that pattern in the thumbnail, on a plain background, with nothing else. Let the title claim it explains everything.
