4d - Preparation for your First Tune
Practice the forward & backward roll
( T. 1. 2. 3. 2. 1. )
using the chord *progression shown below:
Am. C. D. F Maj7. Am. E. E.
Use the picking pattern once per chord, then change chord to the next chord.
Try to keep the timing as even as possible:
Timing ( 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. )
Pick pattern ( T. 1. 2. 3. 2. 1. )
Notice the chord of E is played twice
These are the first chords to the song "House of the Rising Sun"
The intention is not to sound like the song yet but to just get the finger mechanics working and try to close the gap between chord changes
* A chord progression is a group of chords
that make a tune or song.
Practise this picking pattern till you are totally comfortable with it
It needs to become second nature to build a strong foundation
