4th Chord and beyond

Postby Roy » Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:00 pm

Picked up a secondhand guitar a few weeks back and trying to get a bit further than on my last attempt, about 30 years ago.

I've been following the Justin guitar course online, which seem pretty cool, although obviously no feed back to stop bad habits developing.

So any other recommendations appreciated.

Roy, you and me both, though just 20 yrs for me. Have a look here http://bluesguitarunleashed.com/4-note- ... load-page/ looks like it could be useful, depends of course what you want to play but it suits me. The complete package is not cheap but might be worth an hours flying to find out.

Just turn the amp up to 11.

Make an E chord, strum it a few times, move it up to the 4th fret, then 6th, back to the 1st, then 4, then 6, then 9, then 11, back to 1....and it's a bit like flying.

I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES..........

I'm losing the plot, I'm sure I posted this earlier. OK, take 2.

You can do it on an acoustic, but hit the strings HARD!!
