This is the second lesson in the beginner series. In this easy beginner guitar lesson we learn some new chords. We learn the D major guitar chords, and then practice a chord progression using D, E, and A major chords.
Then we learn to play E minor and A minor. Last week we learned easy versions of these chords using only one note, so this week we expand them into the standard guitar chord finger positions.
We are slowly working through learning the basic guitar chords, and these are among the easiest.
We also learn some new strumming patterns, and I show you how to alternate strings in your strumming patterns to add some variety to your playing.
Finally we wrap up the lesson with the C major scale. For beginners, the C major scale is a great starting point because not only is it the foundation of most music, it’s also easy and familiar sounding.
Here are the chords charts from this guitar lesson:
