O.K! Listen ...Those first few lessons were really just an induction to make
sure you understand the basics. Now you're in tune and familiar with strings,
frets, fingers and tab, it's time to learn the next most important thing. Chords.
A chord is when you strum lots of strings instead of just plucking one note.
If you would like to be able to play songs, you are going to have to learn
some chords. It's like saying, if you would like to drive a car, you'll have to fill
it up with fuel. There's no escaping it.
I divide guitar playing into two categories. Rhythm and Lead. Rhythm is
strumming and chords. (Usually multiple strings at once) Lead is riffs and
solos, (usually playing one note at a time).
Some people enjoy strumming chords, other prefer learning licks and riffs,
so throughout this eCourse I am going to give you a taster of both. If you are

2. a singer, it's likely that you will want to strum chords whilst you sing. If you
don't sing, it's likely that you will want to play riffs and lead. Both are
important, so it's best to be skilled at both.
It has long been an 'in joke' among musicians that some bands such as
Status Quo and even The Beatles only use three chords to play songs.
This may be an exaggerated claim, but it is true for a lot of songs especially
in the genre of Rock n Roll. When you say quot;I'm going to play a song by using
just three chordsquot;ﾝ, it feels the same as saying, quot;I'm going to have a
conversation by using just three wordsquot;ﾝ. It seems rather ridiculous, but the
truth is, when we are learning guitar, it's nice to learn something simple,
which still ends up sounding good.
So.... we are going to learn chords E A and D.
It's possible that you already know these chords, if so, I encourage you to
watch the mini-video-guitar-lesson anyway, because you may still pick up
some useful information to increase the quality of your playing. Remember
this eCourse is designed for beginner guitarists, but each new segment
focuses on different techniques so there is plenty for
You to learn which will challenge your playing ability even further.
