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. 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 Four

We'll start adventuring a little farther up the neck in this lesson. You'll learn a new type of chord... what is known as a "power chord". You'll also learn the names of the notes on the sixth and fifth string. Plus, of course, strumming patterns, and a bunch more songs to play. Are you ready? Good, let's start guitar lesson four.
