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. In lesson
five, we studied sharps and flats, were introduced to barre chords,
learned to read tab, and learned a basic 12 bar blues. Then, in lesson
six, we tackled 7th chords, more barre chords, a new strumming
pattern, and a movable chromatic scale pattern. 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 Seven
Until now, we've been playing the guitar with a pick. Most guitarists
will spend the bulk of their time playing guitar with a pick, but there
are incidences when using the individual fingers of your picking hand
will be necessary. We'll study these techniques in lesson seven. Additionally,
we'll learn one more barre chord, hammer-on and pull-off techniques,
and, as usual, many new songs to play.
Are you ready? Good, let's start guitar lesson
seven.
