Lesson Description:
“Theory is great, but what about execution and mastery?” That’s a comment I got in response to the theory lessons I’ve been creating for this series on how to learn guitar chords from the ground up. It’s a good question! The theory can be interesting but if we don’t know how to play and how to practice guitar chords then it’s hard to see the point. In this lesson I focus solely on the main challenges related to the technique of guitar chord practice. Exercise your ability to notice these pitfalls and you’ll be ahead of the game! I use chord progressions from popular songs to illustrate changing chords on guitar, muting unwanted strings, playing more dynamically, and other guitar chord techniques!
