EGS Lesson Nine  Developing our rock chord library

Practising chord changes to a strum pattern

As is always the case, the key to becoming a good guitarist is the ability to move fluently, and in time, between different chords. Here, we will develop the skill in the usual manner with the following exercises. Use the multimedia files as usual.

The following exercises practise changing from C to F. In the first two exercises, we will practise the changes with quarter notes only.
