Hi all, I’m in the beginning steps of learning guitar. hands are very broken in, chords sound good, I know a few from 1st to 5th but I wanted a better understand of the progressions.
if it better to follow c, d , e, e# etc… or c, g, a? or would it depend on the music? I’m focusing heavy on bluegrass. Doc Watson is a big focus for my end style, or Billy strings.
i currently practice/play about 4 hours a day 7 days a week. (a lot I know) my focus is flat picking and finger style mostly rather then traditional strumming.
does any.one have and good guides or books I should read up on for how to do good proper cord progressions? even a simple info graphic that is easily understandable for a beginner?
I’m focusing mostly right now on chord runs. C is memorized and working on getting some others that can meld with the c run.
Start by learning the C major scale and how you build chords from that scale. Its not that complicated, do not go into too much details for now, just learn the scale and their related chords. Also knowing basic intervals helps a lot in building chords. Have fun!
