How can you play gorgeous chords and melody on acoustic guitar? Most importantly, can you transform simple chords into a beautiful chord progression?
There are mainly four things you should do if you want to write beautiful chord progressions on guitar.
- 1. Come up with a chord progression.
- 2. Add additional notes to the chords.
- 3. Give a structure to the chords.
- 3. Write a simple melody that fits the chords.
I am oversimplifying here, but I am sure you got the point.
You don’t need to create something new. Just transform the chord progressions you already know into something more interesting.
I have been playing these chords so many times, yet I was able to find a different way of playing them.
This is how I did it!
I decided that each chord will have to be played with the top E string open. All I had to do was playing the chord progression and make sure I left the top E string open.
The result was awesome.
I came up with a gorgeous chord progression in C major within minutes.
I also implemented a Spanish technique called Tremolo. Let me show you how to use it.
I hope you enjoy this lesson guys. I did!
