Chromatic Guitar Chord Changing Finger Exercise

3/27/2019

0 Comments

 
This was given to a guitar student to help them get used to using all four fingers while holding down guitar chords. I call this a chromatic exercise because it's not based in any key, so all notes are fair game. Plus, it follows a specific finger pattern that stays the same on each set of strings to move to. See if you can figure out the pattern!

A Harmonic Minor Guitar Chords

2/18/2016

0 Comments

 
This lesson will cover triad chords found in the A Harmonic Minor Scale.

Just a brief explanation on triads - Triads are 3 note chords built by stacking 3rds. You have a Major 3rd and minor 3rd. A Major 3rd is 2 hole steps (4 frets apart) and a minor 3rd is 1 1/2 steps (3 frets apart).

For example, if you are on the 5th fret and go up a Major 3rd you will end up on the 9th fret. If you wish to go down a minor 3rd from the 9th fret you'll end up on the 6th fret.

​The notes used in the A Harmonic Minor Scale are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G#
