51. A Guide for Beginners - Strumming (#19) - Page 5 by Christopher Sung (9297)
Now let's put it all together with an A chord and a D chord. We'll use the strumming pattern from last page in measure 1 and 2, then use the strumming pattern from page 3 when we hit the D in measure 3, and the same pattern ...(more)

52. Basic Inversions of Major Chords (#20) - Page 1 by Christopher Sung (9297)
A great way to add some interesting textures to the way you play tunes is to use <b>inversions</b> of chords you already know. An inversion is when you play a chord using a bass note that is not the root of the chord. This ...(more)

53. Basic Inversions of Major Chords (#20) - Page 2 by Christopher Sung (9297)
One of the benefits of using 1st inversions of chords is that you get better movement between your bass notes. The sequence below is a classic example of this. Our progression is C - G - Am. The bass notes for the C and th...(more)

54. Basic Inversions of Major Chords (#20) - Page 3 by Christopher Sung (9297)
This example uses the same principle as the previous page, except it does it in D instead of C. Here, our progression is D - A - Bm, and in mms 3-4, we use the first inversion of A (A/C#) for smoother bass motion.

55. Basic Inversions of Major Chords (#20) - Page 4 by Christopher Sung (9297)
In the examples shown so far, all of our bass movement has been descending, but it can work in an ascending fashion as well. In this example in E Major, our progression is E - D - G. Instead of having our bass note jump all...(more)

56. Basic Inversions of Major Chords (#20) - Page 5 by Christopher Sung (9297)
So now, let's put it all together in an example in D major. The chord progession here is: <ul> <li><b>D - A/C# - C - G/B - Am - G - D/F# - Em</b> </ul> Note how the bass completely descends, never moving more than 2 fret...(more)

57. Walking Bass Lines with Chords (#21) - Page 1 by Christopher Sung (9297)
In this lesson, we'll cover some different aspects of playing a walking bass line with some chords on top. We'll look at some of the details of how to play the bass line itself, and then cover a few comping ideas with the ch...(more)

58. Albert Lee Type Licks (#22) - Page 1 by Christopher Sung (9297)
Albert Lee is a true master of country-rock guitar. The speed, accuracy, and hipness of his lines is just incredible. In this lesson, we'll look at a couple of licks with his flavor of playing.<p> In this example, double s...(more)

59. Albert Lee Type Licks (#22) - Page 2 by Christopher Sung (9297)
One of the reasons why this lick sounds so great is that it completely reflects the chord changes from E7 to A7 and back to E7. Each time we're on the E7, we hammer the open G string to G#, which is the major 3rd of the E7. ...(more)

60. Albert Lee Type Licks (#22) - Page 3 by Christopher Sung (9297)
Again, it's all about the chord changes. We repeat the G-G# hammers that imply E major in measure 1 and measure 7. There a short bend at the end of measure 1 that launches the chromatic ascent up to the high B in measure 2,...(more)
