Playing a chord is one thing, but changing between multiple chords, cleanly and in time, that is quite another. In this series we focus on guitar players who are starting out on their musical journey, offering them insights and techniques into chord playing that will not only allow them to learn and perform thousands of songs, it will also take years off their practice.

Dates:

Session 1 - Friday 19th June, 1pm (AEST)

Session 2 - Friday 26th June, 1pm (AEST)

Session 3 - Friday 3rd July, 1pm (AEST)

The Following outlines what each lesson will cover

Session 1 

  • The open position chords: an examination of the nine chords commonly used in open position 

  • Finger numbers: establishing a common language and learning to interpret chord diagrams

  • Identifying the lead finger: learning which finger has to move first and why

 

Session 2

  • Developing muscle memory through repetition: using the lead finger every time

  • Hand-off, hand-on exercises: improves speed and develops consistency

  • Transitions between two chords: why C to G is not the same as G to C

 

Session 3

  • More complex transitions: moving between three different chords

  • Focus on the picking hand: bringing both hands together to play the chords in a variety of ways

  • Song Analysis: breaking down a four-chord song and learning the moves
