This article teaches you a nice little chord change for you to use over and over again. It can be used in many different situations adding another item to your bag of tricks that you should be building up over time. Even if you are not yet at a level to be able to play this piece you still need to keep it as you will be able to refer back to it when you are at a level to be able to play it. Your bag of tricks you will be building over time will be invaluable in times to come and will help tremendously in your quest to becoming a great player. This sequence is really effective but it does assume you have some understanding of playing the guitar.
As mentioned earlier if your ability is not yet at a level to be able to play this chord sequence, don’t panic, keep this little tip for future reference and once your ability improves, simply pull it out of your bag of tricks that you will be building up from lots of FREE articles I will be posting over the coming weeks.
OK, let’s give this a try:
Play one bar with all down strokes and on the beat using an ‘A major’ chord in the open position using your 1st, 2nd and 3rd fingers.
Next lift off your 3rd finger to reveal the open B string (this chord is called Asus2) and play one bar.
Then using your 4th finger hold down the ‘B string’ at the 3rd fret (1st and 2nd finger remain unchanged at the second fret throughout this piece) and play one bar (this chord is called Asus4). Finally finish off with one bar of ‘Amajor’ to complete this four bar sequence.
And that’s it!
This chord sequence arises in many, many tunes. It sounds really great and can be used by the relative beginner. It will produce a really nice sounding sequence.
