It's Mike from Killer Guitar Tips with another Mini Guitar Lesson for you.
Great guitar players do not just happen out of thin air. Great guitar players have practiced their art and practiced on a regular basis! But be WARNED... Many people practice the wrong things. They actually practice BAD habits. In order to progress you need to practice the right things. I know this sounds blatantly obvious but many, many people get this wrong. They practice things that they actually like which could be reinforcing their bad habits they have already acquired.
Well my friend CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are in the minority. You're in the select 5% of people who will practice the correct methods and techniques that will help to catapult your guitar playing into hyperspace.
So stay tuned...
So let's get right into this article...
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 it is, it's real easy... Play one bar of each chord A, G, D, and A. Now keep on playing these chords over and over while your friend makes up a solo using the Am pentatonic scale at the fifth fret!! It sounds great.
Then you could swap parts and you solo over this sequence in Am and listen to yourself sounding like a top pro.
You can now turn up at and jam night or venue with this progression in your bag of tricks and get up with your friend and sound really cool. It just takes a little practice and for best results try it with a friend.
Another great little progression that goes along with this nicely and is the backbone of many great songs is a 4 bar sequence that repeats itself over and over again and is commonly known as the 'turnaround'.
Lets take a closer look at this so here goes:
Ok, the 1st bar is a chord of G, the second is a chord of Em, the third is C and the last bar is a chord of D.
Now play the rhythm of 4 beats to a bar and repeat this over and over again - play it 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!
