Hey guys, let me show you one of the most simple chord progression we can find in music. In this lesson, I am going to show you how to harmonize the major scale and how to make the chords sound beautiful by using a simple fingerpicking pattern and a simple melody.

You probably know that each note of the major scale can generate a chord. If we lay down the G major scale and harmonize each note, we end up with seven chords: G major, A minor, B minor, C major, D major, E minor, F# diminished.

The goal of this lesson is to make these chords sound beautiful and enjoyable to play. We will start by playing the chords of the G major scale with a simple fingerpicking pattern. Then, we will add a simple melody.

We are going to play the chord progression in two different ways. With the I II III IV chords and with the VI V VI III II I VII I chords. In both chord progressions, we will follow the scale degrees.

Enjoy this lesson.
