As I am so in love with the Google Slides, and as I believe they are the best invention out there, I have decided to make this slide where I have compiled tutorials and videos that I use daily with my Guitar students!
Have fun!

The "E-A-D-A" Major chord progression is a combination of the previous three posts. We will be combining these three chords in order to play this progression.
A few reminders you must be aware of before playing: 1. If you have not checked out the posts of each of these individual chords - do that before checking out this tutorial 2. We are doing the finger plucking pattern, so make sure you put the correct fingers on the RH strings 3. The base is always played with the RH thumb, and each one of these chords has a different base (E - 6th string; A - 5th strings and D - 4th string) are ALL played with the RH thumb 4. The RH index, middle and ring finger should all be playing their corresponding strings 5. The E-A-D-A chord progression in the RH goes like this: E - 64342434 A - 54342434 D - 43231323 A - 54342434 Here are the chords diagrams and my video tutorial. Have fun! 5/25/2020 0 Comments A Major Chord - finger pluckingThe A Major chord is the next chord we will be working on.
In our RH, we will also be doing the plucking pattern, just like we have done with the D Major and the E Major chords. Make sure you have your RH pinky rooted down below the sound hole, so that the rest of the RH fingers can pluck the corresponding strings without bouncing too much away from the strings. The RH strings we will be plucking for the A Major chord are 54342434. Again, the RH thumb ALWAYS plays the base (which is the 5th string in this chord), and the other three singers (index, middle and ring finger) play the corresponding 4th, 3rd and 2nd string. Here is the A Major chord diagram and my video tutorial. Have fun! 5/25/2020 0 Comments E Major Chord - finger pluckingToday we are learning a new guitar chord - the E Major chord.
In our RH, we will also be doing the plucking pattern, so make sure you have your RH pinky rooted down below the sound hole, so that the rest of the RH fingers can pluck the corresponding strings without bouncing too much away from the strings. The RH strings we will be plucking for the E Major chord is 64342434. Again, the RH thumb ALWAYS plays the base (which is the 6th string in this chord), and the other three singers (index, middle and ring finger) play the corresponding 4th, 3rd and 2nd string. Here is the E Major chord diagram and my video tutorial. Have fun! 5/25/2020 0 Comments D Major Chord - finger pluckingThis is the second version of the D Major Chord.
For this progression we will be doing the "plucking pattern" in the Right Hand and will be plucking the following strings in the following pattern - 43231323, while the LH plays the actual D Major chord. Make sure that you are aware that each string is played by a particular RH finger and that the pinky is rooted down below the sound hole of the guitar, so that the other RH fingers can pluck the correct string. The RH thumb always plays the base (which is the 4th string in this chord), index finger plays the 3rd string, middle finger plays the 2nd string, and the 4th finger plays the 1st string. Here is the chord diagram and my video tutorial.

(check out the previous posts for the individual chord explanation if needed). This chord progression uses the strumming patterns, and it is as follows:
a minor: 5 - strum e minor: 6 - strum D Major: 4 - strum C Major: 5 - strum Here is the picture of the chords and the video tutorial. Have fun! 5/22/2020 0 Comments "D Major" Chord strumming patternThis is a simple lesson on how to play the D Major chord on the guitar. For the chord combination that my guitar students will be playing, we will be strumming the D Major chord. So, the strumming pattern for the D Major chord is the following:
* pluck the 4th string - strum the rest of the strings below. Here is the picture of the actual chord, and the video tutorial. Have fun! 5/21/2020 0 Comments "a-C-e-G" Guitar Chord ProgressionThis chord progression utilizes 4 chords that the students are already familiar with from the previous two lessons. This is an natural continuation of the chords learned in the first (a-e) and the second (C-G) lesson.
In this progression, the students are asked to use the following strumming patterns in the right hand: a minor: 5 (plucking the 5th string) - strum (strumming the rest of the RH fingers) C major: 5 - strum e minor: 6 - strum G Major: 6 - strum The following is the picture of the chords and the video tutorial. Have fun! "C-G Major" chord progression is the second progression I work on in class with my beginner guitar students. This chord progression requires a strumming pattern. This seems to be easier on my beginner guitarists, since it requires less control over the strings played in the right hand. The following is the strumming pattern required:
C Major - 5th string - strum the rest of the bottom strings G Major - 6th string pluck - strum the rest of the bottom strings Here is the picture of the chords and the tutorial. Have fun! This is the very first chord progression I work on with my beginner guitar students. This lesson is about the "a minor and e minor" finger picking chord progression. The students were instructed to use a particular finger picking pattern in their right hand while playing their chords in their left hand.
The right hand finger picking pattern is as follows: a minor - 54342434 e minor - 64342434 Here is the picture of the chords and the video tutorial. Have fun, practice and play along with the tutorial! 5/13/2020 0 Comments How to Tune Your Guitar
