Lesson 2
    After first playing the open chord you can experiment with minor and 7th chords. These are played using the chords you have already learnt and altering one of the finger positions to give a slightly different sound.
Minor open chords
    Notice the difference between these minor chords and the major chords in lesson 1.
  • Practice playing these three minor chords.
  • Try changing between the minor chords and the major chords in lesson 1.
  • Keep playing the chord changes at random until you find a progression that sound nice to you. You are now on your way to writing your fist song.
