Easy Chords for Real-World Playing
Chords can be brutally tough for many beginners. Yet, most guitar teachers insist you play them in a certain way (which is usually the bigger, fuller, and harder ways). In this lesson, I aim to flip this on its head and show you just how effective four-string ukulele-inspired chords can be. This includes how they can be easier to play, change between, use in songs, and jam!
Part 1
In Part 1, we’ll apply this idea to the G, C, and tough F chord. Not only that but I will cover some interesting ways to create pretty music and “unlock” the fretboard using these chords. Let’s begin…
Part 2
In this part of the lesson, we will look at some fun ways on how to simplify and jam the Em, E, and Bm chords. Plus, I give you a bonus on jamming the A chord in a super cool little way!
I hope you enjoyed that lesson and you found it eye-opening. Remember, although we have six strings on the guitar, we don’t have to use them all! In fact, four string chords can still sound rich, be easier to use, and give us more options when jamming. Leave a comment below and let us know what you liked about this lesson. Also, let me know what you’d like to learn more about when it comes to your chords!
