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

S.o.B.: An inventor hatches a plan to turn his latest turkey into a hit: juice it up with pornography and have his spouse-megastar (Andrews) bare her breasts. A glib satire on contemporary Movieland tosses in everything from black humor to dry, with wildly choppy outcomes. This was Holden's last film. Cast includes Julie Andrews, William Holden, Richard Mulligan, Robert Preston, Robert Vaughn, Loretta Swit, Larry Hagman, Marisa Berenson, Robert Webber, Stuart Margolin, Craig Stevens, Shelley Winters, Rosanna Arquette, and Jennifer Edwards. (121 minutes, 1981)

Playing God: This film is a preposterous tale of drug addicted ex-surgeon Duchovny employed by gangster Hutton to be the personal crisis medical expert for his shot-up and sliced cronies.

Of course, the price is also an indispensable advantage for F6, wealth version 2.0 manual standards is only selling 79.8 thousand RMB, with this price you can get a good F6 car.

BESTURN BESTURN has good appearance and generous face, which is the main reason many people choose it. Flat roof lines to ensure a spacious interior head space, but some people do not like its tail shape, feels relatively short and slightly collapsed. But there is one thing we have to admit that the appearance of design in BESTURN is absolutely success.

Overall, the price range of 1-1.5 million RMB, the BESTURN is a rare all-around car; it is comfortable and generous and also can accelerate control, so the cost performance is very high.

3 Steps To Performing Comfortably For a Crowd or How To Make Your Own Music

By Michael Bell

Most people cannot comfortably perform in front of many people. When I speak of performing, such as an instrument, or singing, or acting, I mean more than just knowing how to do well at your chosen craft, I mean doing it well and in front of people. Its the in front of people part that gets us every time. How many of us sing like a bird in the shower but then when people are watching we cant carry a note. Here are three steps to start you on the road to comfort (never complete) when called on to shine.

1. Do not disregard to practice. Whether you are a singer or play an instrument practice is the key element to being relaxed and at ease. The more familiar you are with what you are performing, the less anxiety you will have about messing up.

2. Do not back up. Piano teachers pass this on all the time. If you mess up in the middle, or any place in your piece, do not back up and repeat the offending passage. Keep going. Chances are your audience did not even notice.

3. Try not to be censorious of your technical skill. Concentrate more on your overall performance. How does it sound as a whole? If you are a pianist and you distress yourself during your piece about your fingering then you are ignoring the song and how it sounds. Worry about technicalities when you practice. Which should be often.

With time playing in front of and for other people will come much easier. You'll be a natural. So use every opportunity to show your stuff! 3 Steps to Playing Comfortably for a Crowd.
