Everybody, this is Brian Holman between Lex Zacka. I’ll give you guys a free guitar lesson. Today, I am going to talk about cord shapes fro blues in this context, but I will flow for country for Jazz for rock or pretty much in think other style because they are all using cords and they are all movable. And that what you get and think of this cord has shapes and not has something you have learn from a cord diagram or what ever. Because an E cord (guitar demonstration) is the same as all these bar cords that you learn. Loose all the way up, okay. A cord same thing (guitar demonstration) loose all the way up and it does matter where you play it the same pattern, the same shape. Is usable anywhere to get the different cord. So what were going to do is we are stay in E and were going to do blues progression using a fours shapes that I found work really well over blues because there is dominant 7th shapes. Dominant 7th (guitar demonstration) the blue C cord has that 7th in there, okay. And the first shape is open cord just like I play. The second shape is they stop with the D 7th hat you just light up two frets. The third shape is base of the open cord of P 7th if that is a cord you have learn before (guitar demonstration) you just slide it up to the 7th fret there. And then the 4th shape is base of an A 7th open cord you just slide it all the up to the 9th fret, okay those are the 4 shapes that I am using today. There is a first shape, second shape, third shape, and fourth shape. If you want to tabulate just go to the website click the link in the side and you can get the full tab for all of these and I am going to have it transposed for each of the different cords that we are going to use today. But you should be able to do extrapolated and know that (guitar demonstration). Well there is the A right there and it go from there. So, we going to start of and just kind of shuttle fill (guitar demonstration). First shape, second shape, third shape, fourth shape, and go to A fourth shape, try fourth shape for E, second shape, third shape for B, fourth shape for A, first shape for E, and it does not matter really what shape you use. It is all up to you and it is kind of improvisation when you get to cord shapes. Therefore, I have an example on the website and I will play that row quick for you just give a good idea what you can do at fourth, right (guitar demonstration). Triplet heads (guitar demonstration) and you just going on to whatever cord you got next which would be the A (guitar demonstration). I am just using those shapes that fit with the cord and those four shapes is all you, so you can use that in pretty much come up with anything you want to. And remember to think of the cords that shapes not cord you learn from a books so you can move it anywhere and use it over pretty much any cord. That is the key. Therefore, thanks joining me for this lesson and it would more so go to the website and check them all out. Thanks.(Music playing).
