Fingerstyle Rumba for Beginners | Easy Chords in A minor

Fingerstyle Rumba for Beginners

Easy Chords in A minor

Hey guys I hope you are having a fantastic weekend and you finally got time to practice some guitar stuff.

Today I am going to show you a very useful exercise I called “Fingerstyle Rumba” that will help you improve your plucking speed, control and musicality. Also, you will learn an awesome chord progression in A minor that sounds super Spanish.

The goal is to use this chord progression as well as the rumba rhythm to create a beautiful sounding melody mixed with chords.

There are two things that you will need to focus on when practicing this exercise.

The melody is actually played with the thumb. This is kind of unusual as we usually play the melody with the fingers. It will take a while for you to master this approach so take it step by step.
The fingerstyle rumba rhythm follows a repetitive patterns. Familiarize yourself with the 123 123 12 rhythmic pattern using on chord only. The 1 is always played with the thumb, the 2 with the middle finger and the 3 with the index finger.

I really love the Spanish Rumba and I believe that practicing this fingerstyle rhythmic pattern will help you improve your fingerstyle technique a lot.

As always guys, take things step by step. I recommend you start by learning the chord progression first then learn the melody played with the thumb before learning the full pattern.

Enjoy this lesson and have a super weekend.

Basic Guitar Chords with Cool Sounding Voicing (Beginner Friendly)

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Basic Guitar Chords with Cool Sounding Voicing

Beginner Friendly

One of the question you guys ask the most is: ” When can I play different fingerstyle guitar chords for beginners? I am fed up of playing the same basic guitar chords all the time.

The answer is, “Now”

The thing that most beginners don’t know is that basic guitar chord can easily become “Amazing basic chords” all you need is just a couple of extra notes and playing using finger-picking technique.

In this guitar lesson I am going to show you an awesome and easy way to simply spice up chords. We will be playing basic chords such as G major, C major and E minor but you’ll see how different they sound.

The goal is to familiarize yourself with basic guitar chords played using different voicing.

I don’t know the exact definition of voicing in music but in my world the voicing is the highest note of the chord. The “Vocal note” or the note that “Sings”.

We can change the voicing of a chord to create a different sounding melody and make the chords more interesting and less static.

The awesome thing about voicing is that we can also change the voicing within the chord (and not only the highest note) in order to create different sounding chords.

Today I am going to show you how to transform basic guitar chords by changing some of their voicing.

We are playing in G major, one of the most friendly key for beginners and the chords we are about to transform are among the easiest chords you can play on guitar.

Overall this is a very creative fingerstyle guitar lessons for the guitar players who’s tired of playing the same static basic chords.

Enjoy this lesson guys.

The Video

The Chord Progression

We will be working on a simple chord progression in G major: G – C – Em – D

There are two things that you must follow in order to perform this exercise correctly.

The chords must be playing using the plucking technique. Plucking the strings with your fingers allows you to select which string you need to play so that you can emphasize the different voicing.
The bass note (root note of the chord) needs to ring out as you change the voicing. Make sure that changing the voicing doesn’t make the chord sound sloppy.

This exercise can be really challenging for certain beginners especially if you haven’t been playing guitar for long or if your fingers are not stretchy yet.

As always, take things step by step and play around with one chord only if you have to. Trying to play the entire chord progression is productive only if your technique is developed enough to play basic chords.

If you just unboxed your guitar, maybe it is better if you come back when you feel ready, but keep this lesson handy! I am sure you are going to love these chords.

Four Melodies in D minor over Melodic Backing Track

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Four Melodies in D minor

Over Melodic Backing Track

What a hot day in Manila! One of the good thing about living in the Philippines is that you never feel cold.

Today I am sharing a super guitar lesson guys! I am going to challenge you in a different way. We are going to have fun but you have to be willing to try something new.

I know, sometimes new things can be scary but you never gonna get to the next level unless you try new things!

In this lesson I am going to show you four melodies in D minor over a melodic backing track.

I am pretty sure you are familiar with playing melodies and if you have been following me for a while chances are that you learned some of the melodies I teach inside my programs.

But today, we will add a new element that will change the way we approach a melody, a backing track.

A backing track is an audio track with a looped chord progression that goes on for minutes. It’s just chords and it can be used to improvise or write melodies.

We will be using a backing track in D minor and I am going to show you four different melodies in D minor you can play along with the track.

The awesome thing about using a backing track is that you don’t have to worry about playing chords, in fact we will only play single notes however, there are guitar players who struggle playing along with backing track. Here’s why:

Struggle keeping up with the rhythm.
They can’t figure out where the melody starts.
Timing isn’t good.
The backing track is actually a distraction.

If this is the first time you are playing along with a backing track I recommend listening to the beginning of the video several times so that you can familiarize yourself with the melody. Then slowly learn the phrase before playing along with the track.

You can get access to the full tab and the backing track on my Patreon page. Become a Patron and access a ton of lessons and programs for as little as $15. Here a full list of my Patreon lessons currently available.

Now grab your guitar and let’s get started.

The Video

The Backing Track

Chord Progression

So how are we going to play these melodies in D minor?

We will be using a melodic backing track. The chord progression is very simple and I’ve already recorded a video where I show you how to play the chords.

The chord progression is: D minor, Bb major, C major and A minor

You can watch the guitar lesson here!

The D minor Scale

The melodies in D minor that you are about to learn today are based on the D minor scale.

We will use one position only so it should be easy for you to learn the melodies.

Here’s the D minor scale in one box.

Most Common Fingerstyle Arpeggio with Beautiful Chord Progression!

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Most Common Fingerstyle Arpeggio

with Beautiful Chord Progression!

Hey guys, welcome to another super fingerstyle guitar lesson. I hope you are having a fantastic day and you are planning to practice your guitar things!

Today I want to show you what I think it is the most common simple fingerstyle arpeggio on guitar. This is the one of the first fingerstyle arpeggio I learned when I first started playing guitar.

I was 10 years old and one of the first exercise my guitar teacher gave me had this arpeggio! Don’t ask which exercise though, I really can’t remember.

There are two awesome things you will learn in this lesson.

A simple fingerstyle arpeggio that you can use almost on any chord progression. This plucking pattern will also help you improve your fluidity and finger dexterity.
A beautiful chord progression in D minor which we are going to learn in three different ways. The chord progression is very simple and beautiful. I am sure you are going to like it.

You are lucky! The most common fingerstyle arpeggio on guitar is also one of the most simple however there are few things that might challenge you depending on your level.

Let me tell you the two most challenging things you will find in this lesson.

We will be using all the plucking fingers from thumb to ring finger. Some of you probably never used the ring finger before.
It’s hard to play the pattern as evenly as possible. If you are planning to practice without metronome, record your performance to check if your timing is even.

As always take things step by step and learn one chord at a time. Spend time practicing the plucking pattern and don’t get bored! It takes time but the reword is priceless.

Grab your guitar and let’s get started.

The Video

The Fingerstyle Arpeggio

The fingerstyle arpeggio is probably the first thing you want to start practicing.

There are different ways to practice a new plucking pattern but I find that the most effective ways is by focusing on the plucking hand only.

Mute the strings and start plucking the strings following the pattern. This common plucking pattern has been used on a ton of songs so you could already be familiar with it.

This is the guitar tab. You can get the full tab on my Patreon page.

D minor most common fingerstyle pattern

The Chord Progression

We will be working on a beautiful chord progression in D minor.

The awesome thing about this exercise is that I am going to show you three different ways of playing this chord progression so that you can keep challenging yourself.

The chords are: D minor, Bb major, C major and A minor chord.

Each chord progression will add different extensions.

How to Play Blues Solo with only One Riff Without Sounding Boring!

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

How to Play Blues with only One Riff

Without Sounding Boring!

The Blues is one of the most amazing, simple, fun to play style of music on Earth. I am not a blues man but I love blues a lot.

One of the reason why I love Blues so much is that you can say so many things with just few notes. You can play a blues solo with just few notes and still make an impact on your audience.

Blues is about rhythm, intensity, tone, simplicity and dynamics. It will take time before you acquire all these unique characteristic but you are more likely to succeed if you have a system in place to help you with that.

One of the first thing you can work on it’s “Simplicity”. Blues is a very simple music style with a simple structure and today we will focus on getting the structure and simple blues solo ideas in place so that you can start familiarizing with it.

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson, I am going to show you how to play a blues with only one riff (you can also call it phrase/melody) without sounding boring.

I am assuming you know a little bit about the blues structure, if you don’t, don’t worry I will tell you more about it in this post.

The goal is to be able to play a blues solo with just few notes repeated throughout the entire structure.

I am going to give you a very simple formula to spice up the riff at the end of each line so that you don’t have the feeling of playing the same phrase over and over again.

Overall guys, this is an awesome lesson if you are looking to improve your musicality, rhythmic skills and become a better blues player.

One thing really important though! It is really difficult to make this concept easy in just one video and I am sure you’ll have a lot of questions after this video. It’s easy to think about what to do next before you even finish the material I show you in this video. Don’t rush and stick with the stuff I show you in this video for a while before moving on to more complex concepts.

Blues is awesome but the most common mistake guitar players make is to try to learn too many things too fast.

Keep it simple and take it step by step.

Time to go! Let’s get started.

The Video

The Blues Structure

Twelve Bar Blues

One of the first thing you will have to get familiar with is the Blues structure.

In this video we will be working on the twelve bar blues which is probably the most popular (probably the only one) blues structure you will even have to learn.

It goes as follows:

Twelve Bar Blues Structure with Dominant 7 vhords

The Dominat 7 Blues Chord

Blues has his own chord, the Dominant 7 chord.

These type of chords sound super bluesy and they are the most important aspect of playing blues. You can’t be bluesy if the chords don’t sound bluesy!

Here you will learn the most simple dominant 7th chord you can play on guitar. You can check it out on the diagram above.

Dominant 7 chords on fingerstyle acouustic guitar good

The Blues Scale

Minor Pentatonic

The third element that is vital to make your blues solo awesome is the Pantatonic scale.

The majority of guitar players know this scale (I started improvising using it when I was a little kid).

In this lesson, we will learn just two positions of the A minor Pentatonic scale so that is easy for you to learn the riffs.

Here’s the diagram.

Six Melodies in A minor on Acoustic Guitar

Six Melodies in A minor that Sound Awesome on Acoustic Guitar

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Six Melodies in A minor

that Sound Awesome on Acoustic Guitar

Hey guys, today I had a ton of fun recording this video so I am super happy to share it with you!

There are days where I feel like playing something without necessarily have to “transform it” into a guitar lesson even though, as you will see in this video, I always break it down so that you can learn something out of it.

In this video I am going to play six melodies in A minor that really sound awesome on acoustic guitar. I am using a backing track I have recorded so that can improvise and solo before deciding which are the melodies I like the most.

Writing melodies on acoustic guitar is one of the most enjoyable task for such “melodies” addict like me. Even when I improvise, I like to make it melodic.

Writing and playing a solo in fingerstyle is something you must try!

The amazing thing about fingerstyle is that you can really personalize the tone, intensity and dynamic of each note you play. Try to learn a simple melody and pluck the strings in different positions to change the tone.

In this video, I like to play the six melodies in A minor with my fingers (rather than a guitar pick) so I can really decide which type of tone I want for each phrase.

Speed isn’t important for me. In fact, I like to play slowly and I focus much more on the shape and contour of each melody rather than the speed or number of notes I play.

If you want to learn the six melodies in A minor I am playing in this video, make sure you get the tab and backing track on my Patreon page so you can play along with the music.

Enjoy this video guys.

Super Easy Pentatonic Melody in A major for Beginners

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Super Easy Pentatonic Melody in A major

For Beginners

Hey guys, Marco here!

Today I want to share with you this super easy Pentatonic melody in A major I wrote specifically for beginners.

The Pentatonic is one of the most used scale in music and guitar players (as well as any other musician) use it to improvise, solo and write music.

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson I want to focus on the A major pentatonic, which I think sounds awesome! This easy Pentatonic melody you are about to learn is pretty catchy and musical and it is entirely played using the A major pentatonic scale.

There are two things that you really want to focus on when practicing this melody:

Play the melody as evenly as possible. We are playing a 12/8 time signature shuffle rhythm. The easiest way to think about the 12/8 is by counting 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 (rather than the usual 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4).
If you can, sing the melody while playing it. It will help you memorize the sound of the Pentatonic scale!

There is also a technical challenge that some of you will probably face when learning this pentatonic melody.

The Pentatonic is a five notes scale. The A major pentatonic scale has the following notes: A B C# E F# A. As you probably noticed, the D and G# are missing from the scale.

This unique characteristic makes the Pentatonic scale quite stretchy and difficult to play for some beginners.

Make sure you take things step by step and learn the stretchy part slowly.

I hope you get inspired guys!

Let’s get started.

The Pentatonic Scale

One of the most amazing thing about the Pentatonic scale is that is a very simple scale to memorize.

In this guitar lesson we will learn the A major scale and use it to create a beautiful, musical melody perfect for beginners guitar players.

I recommend you learn the A Pentatonic in different position but in this example I am going to show you what I think is the easiest major pentatonic shape in A major.

Horizontal Chords. From simple bass notes to complex chord progressions.

Horizontal Chords | Chord Progression in 5 Different Ways.

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Horizontal Chords

From Simple Bass Note to Complex Chords

Hey, guys, welcome back to another super fingerstyle guitar lesson.

Today I want to talk to you about the difference between playing chords vertically vs. horizontally and highlight the benefits of learning horizontal guitar chord progression.

Almost every guitar player starts by learning chords vertically in one position of the neck.

Think about all the basic chords you know within the first three frets of the guitar neck. I am sure the majority of you can play at least 15 chords in that tiny little space. I call these types of chords, “Vertical chords.”

They are critical, and every guitar player should know them perfectly. However, there is more!

There is another awesome way of playing chords, which I call “Horizontal Chords.” In this guitar lesson, we will learn how to play a chord progression horizontally up and down the guitar neck.

This guitar approach is much more challenging but also extremely fun and fulfilling.

We will be working on five different ways of playing the same chord progression, from a simple bass line to complex chords.

The goal is to really familiarize yourself with horizontal chords and challenge your guitar skills by playing chords that are more challenging and less intuitive than basic vertical chords.

Take things to step by step.

You can also get the tab on my Patreon page. Info below.

Let’s get started.

The Video

The Chord Progression

Let’s quickly learn the chord progression in C major.

If you have always played vertical chords, you will probably think that this lesson is out of your league.

Make sure you try to learn chords, no matter how hard it looks. You need to challenge yourself if you want to become a better guitar player.

The chord progression goes like this: C – G/B – Am – G – F – Em – F – G – C

Spend enough time on each of the five variations. You will learn:

Simple bass note
Bass note and additional note
Different plucking pattern
Full chords
Chords and melody

Good luck!

Play a Melody Between Advanced Chords

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Play a Melody Between Advanced Chords

Hey guys, today I want to show you a very beautiful chord progression and melody played in E minor key.

The goal is to be able to play a melody between advanced chords without compromising the musicality and the over-ring of each chord.

There are three possible mistakes you can make when playing a melody between chords. These are:

Sloppy chords
Sloppy melody
Both chords and melody are sloppy

One of the most difficult thing about this lesson is to be able to make the transition between the chords and the melody as smooth as possible and I know that this isn’t an easy thing to do.

For that reason, we will take things step by step by learning the chord progression first, then once you feel ready, add the melody between the chords.

You could also try to learn the melody first before moving to the chords.

The thing I love the most about this guitar lesson is the chord progression with min7 add9 chords which I consider to be some of the most beautiful chords you can play on guitar.

The Emin7add9 chord is just a beautiful chord that you must have in your repertoire!

A Super Easy Spanish Melody for Beginners! Fingerstyle Lesson

Posted by BlitzGuitarAdmin Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

A Super Easy Spanish Melody for Beginners!

Fingerstyle Lesson

Hey guys, I hope you are having an awesome Wednesday.

I have played around with this easy Spanish melody for a few days now, and I am super happy to show you how to play it finally.

When it comes to playing guitar, especially fingerstyle guitar, you must have at least one Spanish melody/riff/chords in your repertoire. For me, it’s a must!

In this fingerstyle lesson, I will show you how to play a straightforward Spanish melody in three different ways.

The awesome thing about playing simple musical ideas like this one is that it’s easy to spice things up and add a little twist here and there.

The first melody is super simple, and it will be played on the bass notes only. We mostly play in alternate fingering except for the first note, which will be played with the thumb.

Then we are going to add a little twist at the end of each bar. We will play some fast notes, so don’t be scared!

The last melody will be the real challenge!

As always, take things step by step, guys. There is no need to rush!

Have fun.
