Day 8 - Week 2 warm up & more essential chords

Welcome to a new week of guitar playing! For this lesson as it’s the start of week 2, don’t worry if you haven’t covered every lesson of week 1. However, if you’ve not played at all since lesson 7 or last week, then I recommend doing a recap on the previous days to get back into the swing of things! 

For this lesson we’re starting afresh with a new jam track, new musical key, new warm up & knowledge that we can connect together to continue developing our playing at this level on guitar. 

Week 2 warm up

Day 8 chords

Day 8 and our new jam track uses the chords C major, F major, A minor and G major. The chord progression in this jam track is in this order, and is therefore in the key of C major.

Each chord lasts for 2 bars.

Day 1 strumming

8th's all down strumming - 1-&-2-&-a-3-&-4-&-a

Day 1 visual jam track - Jam with an F chord

Jam along to the visual jam track above, and try to keep going to get a clean take without any stopping if possible. Once you can do this, try playing along to the audio track, which is just below the video at the top of the page!
