Simple Guitar Chords Video Lesson

by admin on August 3, 2009

Here’s a Youtube video that teaches you simple guitar chords that are commonly used in pop and rock songs. The chord progression comes from the song “Free Falling” by Tom Petty ( this by the way is one of the best free video lessons for “Free Falling” that you’re going to find ).

He goes through some really easy and simple strumming patterns at the end of the video so you can start jamming right away. This lesson is very much catered to the beginner guitarist and covers chords such as the Dsus , D and the Asus ( “sus” stands for “suspended”, I will cover that in future tutorials on my website ). These chords will come in useful to you later on.

I tend to apply the chord progression very often in my rock acoustic songs too.

Wonderwall Guitar Chords

by admin on July 29, 2009

Here is a pretty decent Youtube video on how to play ” Wonderwall ” by Oasis.

I found the tutorial breaks it down easy enough for the beginners among you to learn this song rather quickly. The author of this video takes his time to explain the hand and finger positions required to play the Wonderwall chords, so it’s all very clear.

Be warned though, his singing skills aren’t all that great.

Guitar Chords Tutorials – Power Chords

by admin on June 18, 2009

You have probably seen many guitar tutorials that tell you to use power chords. What are they exactly? Power chords are fundamentally, two note chords compared to a full chord which is three notes ( with repeated notes in different octaves ). The power chords consists of 2 root notes, and a fifth interval.

The power chords are great in my opinion especially if you play on an electric guitar with lots of distortion. Try playing full bar chords with loads of distortion, and you will notice that most of the time the extra notes are not audible. In fact it might even sound really “noisy”. Power chords are really easy for a beginner to learn and they’re very playable all across the guitar neck, allowing for fast shifting of chords.

I will be doing some power chords guitar tutorials this further in the coming weeks to show you how easy they are even for a beginner to use, and best of all, they sound great with the volume jacked up!
