To become a great guitar player, it doesn't just happen. It evolves with practice, I hope you practice on a regular basis! Having said this it's not enough just to practice but you must practice the right things. I know tis sounds blatantly obvious but you'll be surprised at just how many people practice BAD habits playing things that could be reinforcing the bad habits they have already acquired.
You're now in the select 5% of people who will practice the correct methods and techniques that will help to catapult your guitar playing into hyperspace... CONGRATULATIONS you are in the minority simply because you are talking the time to read this article.
So stay tuned...
Let's not waste any more time and get straight into it...
We will start with a really cool chord progression that's great to play pentatonic riffs over when you are jamming with a friend, it will make you sound like a great player with no effort whatsoever!
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 turn up at any venue with this progression in your bag of tricks and sound like a real pro... Just takes a little practice ideally with a friend.
Moving on from this we will take a look at another great little chord progression that is the backbone of many great songs. It is a 4 bar sequence that repeats itself over and over again and is commonly known as the 'turnaround'.
So here goes, let's take a closer look:
1st bar is G, the second bar is Em, 3rd bar is C and the last bar is D.
You need to play this rhythm of 4 beats to a bar. Repeat this turnaround over and over again to your hearts content.
Tis is another great jam sequence. Your friends can play the rhythm while you solo in G over the top then change around, you play rhythm and they can have a go at soloing. It's a great way of getting to play together.
Oh, and dont forget that my full guitar audio/video program 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. - 18762
