When playing notes the following rules should be observed;
1. Use the fingertips, directly behind frets.
2. Hold Strings firmly against the fretboard.
3. Use the correct fingering (i.e. 1st finger = 1st fret, 2nd finger = 2nd
fret, 3rd finger = 3rd fret, etc.)
4. Fret hand should remain close to the strings at all times (i.e. When an
open string is played, your fingers must remain in close proximity.)
EXAMPLE #4
The following uses root notes throughout.
Am G F E
|--2-2-2-2--|--0-0-0-0--|-----------|-----------|
|-----------|-----------|--3-3-3-3--|--2-2-2-2--|>
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|>
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
EXAMPLE #5
Example five uses the same chord progression, but with different bass notes.
This is the first example so far, that uses notes other than root notes.
Am G F E
|--2-2---2--|--0-0-2-0--|-----------|--------0--|
|------2----|-----------|--3-3-0-3--|--2-2-3----|>
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|>
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Remember that the progression finishes on an A Minor (Am) Chord, so you will
finish on an A note (root note of the A Minor chord).
Guitar Chords
Am = X02210
G = 320003
F = 133211
E = 022100
