Guitar Chord Progressions (#1) - Engage your listeners
Hello and welcome. So this series of short video guitar lessons is going to be about guitar chord progressions. Now everyone talks about guitar chord progressions and moving from chord to chord. Of course I want you to be able to move from chord to chord and do it easily and do it confidently but there are a couple of things that aren't often addressed but are extremely important.
Guitar chord progressions
The first of which is how you connect two guitar chords in a way that really catches your listeners so they perk up like a deer's ears. They perk up when they hear something so interesting as the way you're connecting your guitar chords. The second thing that attracts attention is when you put mood into what you're doing, when you really approach and fill your music with an emotional quality.
First let's bring our attention to a way of connecting guitar chords. We'll start with the simplest and then we'll get a little more complicated as we go. This first is called the walk-up and we're going to go from the bottom of the G chord to the bottom of the C chord step by step. So that's it. The technique is simple but the implications of this technique are wide which you'll find out as you keep exploring guitar chord progressions.
Now the second thing I want to bring your attention to, and again this is going to really bring to life your playing, is investing what you play with character. How do you approach the notes? For example, we can approach the notes confidently. I even missed confidently. We could approach it tentatively. I hope no one is listening. You can do it fast like you want to get it over with or you can dwell on every note like it's meaningful. A hundred and one ways you can go about doing it and those are what I want to introduce you to this round.

Secondly, I would like you to leave a comment about what you would like to see addressed relative to learning guitar chord progressions. If you're really brave, leave a video comment with a walk-up invested with a mood; something totally unique. In that way, I can give praise and give feedback and the whole learning community can see what other people are coming up with.
Third, you can visit my website at http://www.PaulRussellMusic.com and you can learn there about private Skype lessons with me. You can also sign up to receive free MP3s of my original music which I hope you'll love and I will see you soon.
