Putting It All Together
Put Everything You Have Learned Together!
If you have made it this far you have learned your G major, D major, C major and A minor 7 chords. You have also learned how to use your right hand to strum the guitar properly. Now it is time to put all of these things together to learn you first real chord progression.
One of the most difficult things for beginner guitar players to do is to change chords smoothly without stopping while they are strumming. That is what you are going to work on in this guitar lesson. Don’t get frustrated if you can’t play the entire chord progression all the way through without stopping. It takes some practice.
The chord progression that we will be using is G Major, D Major, A minor 7 and D Major. We are going to keep the strumming simple so that you can concentrate on changing chords smoothly. Strum the G major four times using downstrokes and move on to the D major. Strum the D major four times with four more downstrokes. Now change to an A minor 7 and play that four more times. Finish off the progression by playing a C Major chord four times.
Work on changing from chord to chord as smoothly a possible because you will be learning a more complex strumming pattern in the next beginner guitar lesson. Have fun!

i just got my guitar a month back and your viedos help me out alot so i wanted to ask are there any differences in changing cords on a electriic guitar?
this is amazing just tanken 4 lessons and really get it so far love this website!
Found another mistake man. Sorry,but the first line in the third paragraph you say that we will be using D major, twice, when in fact i know that you meant to say C major one of those times. Just pointing it out so you can fix it.
