Hi and Welcome to Anunaad Academy...Your Free Online Music School!
If you have made it this far you have learned your G major, D major, C major and A minor 7 chords. You have also learned how to use your right hand to strum the guitar properly. Now it is time to put all of these things together to learn you first real chord progression.
One of the most difficult things for beginner guitar players to do is to change chords smoothly without stopping while they are strumming. That is what you are going to work on in this guitar lesson. Don’t get frustrated if you can’t play the entire chord progression all the way through without stopping. It takes some practice.
The chord progression that we will be using is G Major, D Major, A minor 7 and D Major. We are going to keep the strumming simple so that you can concentrate on changing chords smoothly. Strum the G major four times using downstrokes and move on to the D major. Strum the D major four times with four more downstrokes. Now change to an A minor 7 and play that four more times. Finish off the progression by playing a C Major chord four times.
Work on changing from chord to chord as smoothly a possible.
We will be showing you some more technique in the Next Lesson.
