Hey guys, in this lesson I am going to show you how to add more chords to a simple chord progression. If you, like many other guitar players out there, are stuck always playing the same chord progressions over and over, this lesson could show you a way to change that.

In this lesson, we are going to focus on adding passing chords to a chord progression in C major. I picked the most simple chord progression in this key so that almost everyone can understand and play the chords.

The chord progression goes as follows: C | Am | F | G |. This is indeed a straightforward progression!

We are going to add more chords following three different systems:

• The walking bass.
• The dominant chord.
• The Subdominant-Dominant chord.

The music sounds better than these names, so don’t feel intimidated. I am going to show you the theory behind the chords: Hopefully, you can use it to enhance other chord progressions you already know.

Good luck with this lesson.
