Learn Guitar – Here’s a Great Little Guitar Lesson – A Nice Guitar Chord Change That Crops Up in Many Songs!
Mike here from KillerGuitarTips.com
In the lesson this week we are going to have a look at a nice little chord change present in many, many songs and proves really effective but it does however require you to have a little knowledge of playing the guitar. Don’t worry though if you haven’t as my full guitar course (due to be released shortly) covers everything from getting the beginner through to monster player in the shortest possible time.
Just keep this tip for future reference and once you get to the level to be able to play this phrase simply pull it out of your bag of tricks that you will be building up over the coming weeks.
Ok, let’s have a look…
We start off by playing an ‘A major’ chord in the open position. Using your 1st, 2nd and 3rd finger play one bar all down strokes and on the beat.
We now nee to lift off your 3rd finger to reveal the open B string. This chord is an Asus2 chord. Now play one bar.
Then using your 4th finger hold down the ‘B string’ at the 3rd fret (1st and 2nd finger remain unchanged at the second fret throughout this piece) and play one bar (this chord is called Asus4).
To finish off we play one bar of A major to complete this sequence.
I would like to give you another tips before I sign off this week…
In this next tip we are going to get really cool sounding chords easily using the open strings within the chords.
Ok follow me… we are going to play an A major (A) chord with a difference…the fingerings are: 4th string 7th fret with your 3rd finger….3rd string 6th fret…2nd finger and 2nd string 5th fret 1st finger and 1st string is played open this chord is an A major (A). OK now strum one bar….
Now move this shape two frets down the neck all the time keeping the 1st string open and play one bar (G6)…
We now play the Dsus2 chord using the following fingerings: lay the 4th string open, the 3rd string on the 2nd fret with the 1st finger and the 2nd string 3rd fret 3rd finger keeping the 1st string open and play one bar.
Now finally we need to play an A major chord in the open position using the following fingerings: 5th string open. The fourth, third and second strings are played at the second fret using fingers one, two and three with the first string being played open.
Now play one or two bars of each chord a few times for a great sounding chord progression which sounds great on its own or is wonderful to solo over and fantastic for writing your own songs over.
Please don’t forget that I am about to launch my full Audio/Video guitar tutoring program on DVD that has taken over two decades of teaching to perfect and is geared to bring the absolute beginner through to great player in the shortest possible time. You’ll be bashing out your favourite tunes after the very first lesson. Imagine how much money you’ll save in the long run as oppose to conventional guitar lessons!!!
