Basic Guitar Chords: How to truly master the Guitar Chords You Must Know

One of the first challenges faced by the advancing guitar player is studying a core group of basic guitar chords. Why is it so foremost to learn these basic chords? Chords form the backbone of most rock and pop songs, and contribute the harmonic accompaniment to the melody and instrumental solos.

Rhythm guitar based on basic chords provides many of the most memorable rock riffs... Think Ac/Dc's "Back in Black" or The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again". What's in fact spectacular, is that by studying no more than 10 to 15 basic guitar chords, you will be adequate to play thousands of rock and pop songs!

Basic Chords On A Guitar

First let's found the definition of a chord. A chord is three or more distinct musical notes played together. In the case of the guitar, this means that at least three strings are strummed or plucked simultaneously to sound three or more notes. Since the guitar has six strings, the maximum numbers of notes in a guitar chord is six. All chords can be located in one of three groups based on the musical buildings of the chord: Major, Minor, or Seventh. Each of these chord groups has its own "sound" or "feel". Major chords sound stable and complete. Minor chords can evoke a more somber or pensive mood, and Seventh chords are jazzy and somewhat incomplete sounding.

Somebody asked me how I strum, so here is a rough performance of the Terantela from the Coimbra MS and an explanation of what I'm doing. The original has only one line of chords: CGCGFE Am but I introduce it with the chords which underlie the punteado part: Am GCG Am E Am. Only the first punteado part is original, to which I added four other diferencias - basic stuff. This is not the dainty repicco found in some publications, so whether it is 'authentic' or not, well, who can say?

Can Singing Be Simple?

If you're whatever like me, you've asked this quiz, a few times. Why? Probably due to all the nonsensical terms associated to learning how to sing - heck, music in general. There's key, tempo, feel, groove. When you get definite about singing, there's more: baritone, alto, soprano, head voice, chest voice, mixed voice, scales, trills, etc.

That's just the technical aspects of it. How about the rumors colse to the topic? Natural talent, there's a safe bet range you were born with, you need to have charisma, etc etc, the list goes on ad infinitum. The first time I picked up an instrument, I was of course ignorant to all these terms; I just picked up my guitar, practiced a few parts, and ultimately was able to play a half-decent song. Oh, and it was fun too!

Basic Chords On A Guitar

Enter the world of "serious" musicians.. Zzzz.. I got introduced to the world of scales, techniques, methods, and got into that for a while. Too long, perhaps. Nowadays, I have this new coming to learning and playing music: it's called Fun! I got tired of learning scales and theories which I have no idea on how to use them, and other endless chores (that's how they felt) and changed how I saw music.

Music to me is a language. It's a universal one, that's what makes it unique, but it's still a language. That's the key to learning it. Imagine learning a language like so: learn the theories first, learn to write, read, more theory, memorize books, regurgitate the memorized stuff, learn words, describe the alphabet etc. That's not how we learned to speak, was it? If that coming were used we would not be able to communicate, ever!

More about this consulation in my site. Let's go back to the subject at hand. What is singing? It's basically using your voice as a musical instrument. It's not reinventing your voice to come to be something else. It's also not about creating another vocal chord for use when singing. The instrument is already there, and we use it every day.

For example, studies have shown that in most countries where western music is dominant, the pitches used in speech are often derived from the C Major scale. This is in general because in Piano music, the C Major scale is the most tasteless group. The study includes musicians and non-musicians. This is evidence of how our voices are already accustomed to producing good potential tones without us having to force them to fall in line.

That's where it gets interesting: if daily speech is already doing all the right things, how easy is it to transition it to more instrument-like roles such as singing? It's very easy if you forget all the useless terms and methods and focus on becoming more aware of the voice on its own - something most of us have probably never done with the voice ever since we received it.

That's what my new site is about: exploring the possibilities when one separates the voice from the musical setting and study it on its own, in all its glory. I try to demystify things such as range: why do we have no problems producing high notes when we talk about something exciting? And we also yield potential low notes when we talk about more melancholy stuff.

How about staying in key? We always stay in the same mean pitch when we talk, and nobody tries to do that; it's natural. Why doesn't this happen when singing? If you're eager to know more about this, I welcome you to a new perspective of how we look at our voices and I'm sure you'll be impressed! By your own voice, not by me;P

Happy Singing!

www.steviesnacks.com - If you've always wondered how to play those fat, thick, Hendrix and SRV style chords, this lesson will take you through the chord sequence used in the original ballad I wrote and used to demonstrate my Fender Blues Junior Amp. This style of playing is a mix of chords and lead techniques and when played correctly, it results in a very soulful rhythm style. In this lesson, I walk you through the basic chords that the sequence uses, and then elaborate on how I connect them with Hendrix style hammer-ons and little lead licks to transition from chord to chord. Lastly I talk about the important of timing of certain key notes in the sequence, and the importance of accenting certain notes and beats in order to bring out the most soulful elements of this playing style.
