Intro to Chord Fragments

Today's post is...(drum roll).....my first video lesson! I hope you enjoy and there will be several more on the way. Next time I might get fancier (a.k.a. zooming in!) but I included the chord diagrams and picking exercise in a Guitar Pro file as well as a tab file you can view in Microsoft word. I HIGHLY recommend the Guitar Pro software, it is a great learning tool. If you don't already own Guitar Pro, you can download a free demo here.

About today's lesson:
This is an introduction to using major chord shapes up the neck. In the video I show you how to play a G major chord in several positions using mostly the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings. Over the next several lessons we will learn the ins and outs of the major scale: how to harmonize the major scale in chords, other inversions, and major scale positions throughout the CAGED system of chords. If this sounds like mumbo-jumbo, just tune into the video and work your way through these introductory chord shapes for now.

Please give me some feedback as to how I can improve my lessons and cover subject matter that you want to learn! Thanks for tuning in and please spread the word that there will be multiple FREE VIDEO LESSONS here in the months to come. Thanks!
