Mini Guitar Lesson - How To Play Two Great Chord Progressions You Must Know To Be Able To Progress To Becoming A Great Player!

By Mike Jones

Mike here from Killer Guitar Tips with another Mini Guitar Lesson.

Hope you've been PRACTISING your guitar. To be a great guitar player it doesn't just happen it evolves with practice, but its not enough just to practice, you need to practice the right things! I know this sounds blatantly obvious but you'll be surprised at how many people simply practise what they like to play even though this could be teaching them BAD habits.

You're now in the select 5% of people who will practice the correct methods and techniques that will help to catapult your guitar playing into hyperspace... CONGRATULATIONS you are in the minority simply because you are talking the time to read this article.

So stay tuned...

Let's get straight on with this mini guitar lesson...

We'll start of with a really cool chord progression that's really cool to play pentatonic riffs over the top of when you're jamming with a friend, with no effort at all it will make you sound like a great player!

So here we go:- Play one bar each or A,G,D and A. Now keep playing this over and over while your friend plays a solo over the top using the key of Am (pentatonic at the fifth fret)!!

Why not swop parts and get your friend to play the chords while you solo over this sequence in Am. Just listen to yourself sounding like a top pro player!

Now now have a progression you know that will fit in at any jam night or venue. You will be able to get up with a friend and sound like a real pro guitarist. It just takes a little practice ideally with your friend.

Moving on from this we will take a look at another great little chord progression that is the backbone of many great songs. It is a 4 bar sequence that repeats itself over and over again and is commonly known as the 'turnaround'.

So let's take a closer look - here it comes:

1st bar is G, the second bar is Em, 3rd bar is C and the last bar is D.

You need to play this rhythm of 4 beats to a bar. Repeat this turnaround over and over again to your hearts content.

Again this is a superb jam sequence. Why not get your friends to jam along to it in the key of G. You play the rhythm and they solo over the top then change around, you solo they play rhythm.

Don't forget that my full guitar audio/video course is loaded with lots of amazing chord sequences that will allow you to lay down great sounding rhythm guitar that will astound your friends and rock your audience! - 18424
