How to Play Simple Songs Today

Most popular music on the radio or anywhere you hear it today consists of a few basic chords. These chords are put in to a succession to convey the feeling or mood that is desired by the song writer.

When you take these chord progressions and utilize different picking patterns, you should be able to hear how these same chords can sound quite different in different songs.

The picking pattern on you picking hand is an important skill to master. While I was looking for a lesson to share this week, I came across a cool video that demonstrates a pretty simple excercise on how to improve your strumming techniques.

The video helps demonstrate how to practice alternate (up and down) strumming on the guitar strings, while changing chord patterns with your fret hand.

I hope you find this video helpful in helping you become a better strummer and ultimately a better guitar player.
