In lesson one of this special feature on learning the guitar, we were introduced to the parts of the guitar, learned to tune the instrument, learned a chromatic scale, and learned Gmajor, Cmajor, and Dmajor chords. Guitar lesson two taught us to play Eminor, Aminor, and Dminor chords, an E phrygian scale, a few basic strumming patterns, and the names of the open strings. In guitar lesson three, we learned how to play a blues scale, Emajor, Amajor, and Fmajor chords, and a new strumming pattern. Lesson four introduced us to power chords, basic note names on the sixth and fifth string, and new strumming patterns. Most recently, in lesson five, we studied sharps and flats, were introduced to barre chords, learned to read tab, and learned a basic 12 bar blues. If you are not familiar with any of these concepts, it is advised that you revisit these lessons before proceeding.

What You'll Learn in Lesson Six

Hopefully, you won't find this lesson so tough. We'll tackle a few new chords, which are called 7^th chords. Also, we'll learn a few more of the tricky barre chords. Plus, a new handy strumming pattern. Additionally, if you looking for warm-up exercises, we'll learn a movable chromatic scale pattern. And, as usual, we'll get down to applying what we've learned, by using these techniques in various songs.

Are you ready? Good, let's start guitar lesson six.
