Learn To Play Guitar: Learn To Play Easy Nice Sounding Guitar Chords
To learn to play guitar is difficult and easy at the same time. The guitar is a fascinating instrument. It is very difficult to master in some areas but you will also find wells of easy to play but nice sounding treasures among the strings.
In this learn to play guitar article I will give some examples of easy to play guitar chords and progressions. I will use guitar tab to help you find the notes on your guitar.
In this article i will only use the first four strings on the guitar. In the guitar tab staff notation I will also use only the first four lines. The first string is the thinnest string on the guitar or the E-string.
The first guitar tab progression will be in the key of D. The chords of the progression is Dmaj7 and Em7. Here is the guitar tab:
1. –2—0—
2. –2—0—
3. –2—0—
4. –0—0—
The guitar chord progression above can be used as a little intro in a song in the key of D. It can also end a song or be used as a break between verses in a song. You can repeat the progression to make it last longer.
The next example will use the first chord and a Gm6 as the second chord. This little passage can also be used as an intro in a song if you like it:
1. –2—0—
2. –2—3—
3. –2—3—
4. –0—0—
The following example will use just one chord, the D chord and it will be moved two frets up. When you move the chord up it will not be D anymore. It will change into a E7 or if you want E/D. This means that you play an E-chord with the note D as a bass note.
The chords in this guitar chord progression will be D and E7. Try it!
1. –2—4—
2. –3—5—
3. –2—4—
4. –0—0—
When you move the chord up the two frets you don’t need to lift you left hand fingers. Just release the pressure of your left hand fingers a bit and slide up to the new position.
This method of sliding to new positions can be used when you change between chords. Many times you can keep one or more of your fingers on your fingerboard and slide when you change to new chords. This will make it easier to find the chord and will speed up the chord change.
Our last little guitar chord progression will use the same progression with just a different way to play the E7 chord.
Remember that all these chord progressions can be repeated over and over as intros or something else in the key of D on your guitar.
1. –2—0—
2. –3—0—
3. –2—1—
4. –0—0—
Observe that you can slide with you first finger that you hoopefully have pressed down on the second fret of the third string when you play D. When you change to the second chord you can slide to the first fret.
The above progressions use the open D-string as a fundament so to speak and this bass note creates an illusion of peace in the chord progressions. In tonal music this bass note is called a pedal point.
If you like finger picking on your guitar I will give you a pattern that can be used with these chords. I will use the common classical guitar symbols for the right hand fingers. P denotes the thumb, i the first finger, m the middle finger and a the ring finger.
1. –a———–a—
2. ———-m——-
3. ——i———–
4. –p—————
I hope you will find this little learn to play guitar lesson helpful. There are a lot of chord progressions that sounds nice but are very easy to play. In other words, I will be back!
