Hey guys, welcome back to another lesson. Things are about to get emotional here! Today, I am going to show you how to play this emotional chord progression on the guitar.

Actually, I am going to talk about the two elements that I use all the time to create emotional chords. Obviously, you need a good chord progression. We have one in E minor which works great. We will also use over-ringing and pedal tone to emphasize and support the melody.

A pedal tone is an awesome approach in which a note is sustained or repeated throughout a chord progression. This repeated note is extremely important because it is going to support the melody and give rhythm and musicality to the chord progression.

The over-ringing allows to you amplify every single note you play. Just hold the notes for as long as you can to create a natural reverb effect that sustains the chords and melody.

Enjoy this lesson!
