[N] _ Here we are [G] at lesson number one in this series at country [F] guitar online.com
We're learning how to [F#] play a really nice classic country and bluegrass strumming patterns
[E] _
And we're focusing on the patterns that actually sound country and bluegrass.
You know something like this
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ tons of different _ _
Patterns just like [D#] that that we're going to cover throughout this whole lesson series, so it's going to be a really [E] good lesson series
[F#] This is the very first [E] video in the series
We're going to start with the most basic strumming pattern in this lesson
And we're going to just build upon [D] this pattern that we're covered today in future [E] lessons, _ [G#] so
_ Let's start learning [G] this pattern and in [F#m] my opinion this pattern that we're learning this [E] video is [F#] the most important
Country and bluegrass strumming [D] pattern that there is really [E] because it's just the base
It's the foundation _ [F] for this type of strumming and then [E] from there you just add lots of different
Accent [F] strums accent picks all sorts of cool stuff
_ _ _ [G]
A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ lot of times in rhythm guitar less is more
[F] Especially when you're playing with a group of other [E]
musicians, but that hammer on [G] all I'm doing
play a regular G major open chord _ and _ then now lift up your pointer and lift up your middle and
_ _ _ Now just [F] put your pointer back down on the sixth string
[F#] second fret
_ _ To do the [E] hammer on [F#] just pick there and
_ [G] _ Hammer to your left middle right after I do the hammer up.
I [E] pretty much lift up my left pointer, so
pointer finger
_ [F] Hammer to middle [F#]
pick [G] hammer strong
_ _ hammer strong
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Really [D] common chord progression for country and [G] bluegrass.
I play this progression [E] all the time for [F] just jamming out [Dm] with friends and stuff like that
[G] _ _ _ _ What we're gonna do _ when we're looking [G#] at this pattern we're gonna talk about the chords in terms [Em] of their number and
There's a chord numbering [F] system, and [F#] I'm not gonna get into _ all of the music theory [F] about the chord number system
[G] At this point, but I'll give you all just enough [E] to where you can start figuring out _ how to
_ Transpose this chord progression or how [F#] to change [Fm] keys
So we're gonna start in the key [E] of G
But [F] then I'm gonna show you how I can use this number system very [E] easily to change keys or [F] transpose
_ This chord [E] progression into a different key
_ Say the key of [C#] a for example, that's another really common key in country bluegrass
_ _ _ So looking at this chord progression on the screen _ _ _ _ _
