Two-Minute Challenges
#17 – Embellish Your Chords!
Hints and Tips
- Use a capo to play the chords where you are most comfortable (this will make this idea easier)
- Go slow and practice strumming one chord with a simple strum pattern
- When you feel ready, lift a finger off the chord (usually works best on the high strings, e.g. G, B, or high E)
- Add a finger back on but in a different place
- Experiment with where and when you add and remove fingers
- Try this idea with a fingerpicking pattern
- Keep coming back to this idea if you don’t quite get it at first
