about good campfire songs, and this is the first part of it. I will add Lynyrd

More about barre chords

Last time when I wrote about barre chord I told you the basics about them. Now I’ll be more specific about them. As you know barre chords are movable chords and they are easy to play because you don't need to change your finger position for every chord, just move your hand right or left. As you already know there are two basic type of barre chords A shape and F shape. They are the major chords. But what about minors and 7th chords? In this article I’ll tell you about them.
In a F shape chord, it's really easy if you want play minor in F shape chord, just pull up a finger which holds the third string on the fret next to barre finger (look at the picture below) If you want F7 or any other 7 in F shape lift the finger which holds 4th string. If you want F shape barre chord 7th minor lift all other fingers besides barre finger and the finger that holds the fifth string.
Now the A shape chords- if you need to play minor, place your fingers like A with only regular A chord minor next to barre finger (look the picture below). If you play A chord in barre, place you barre finger outside of the frets. Then it is basically regular A only difference is you can change to another A shape barre chord quickly without changing your finger position. 7th and the minor 7th is also like regular A chords next to barre finger.
If you don't quite understand this text look at the pictures below- they should help you.

Really useful program to learn how to play solo.

What is the common problem of learning how to play solos? That right, it's speed. You hear some really cool solo of some band, you try to play it, but your ear doesn't separate one note from another. It makes you really frustrated. But luckily nowadays there are some computer programs that help you slow down music so you can hear it very slow and learn it to play. I found one of those kind of programs on the Internet yesterday and it looks very practical. You can download it here.
When I looked at it for the first time I found myself thinking how easy it is to learn playing with this Program, rather than frustrating myself for months like before. If this program was available where I studied playing I’d have saved several month pointless of struggling. You have this
opportunity, read more and download that awesome riff slowing program "riffmaster pro" by clicking here.

Barre chords.

Hello again. At my previous post i promised you to tell about barre chords. So here they are:
Barre chords are a type of guitar chords, where one or more fingers are used to press down
multiple strings across the guitar fingerboard. Name of those chords comes from a French word barre, witch in English is bar. Bar, because the first finger shape is like bar over the entire fret.Barre chords’ primary purpose is to shift any of the open string chords an arbitrary number of half steps up the neck of the guitar; similar to the use of a capo.
Basically the barre chords are divided into two types: E shape and A shape. The name comes from the name of the open chords. E shape because besides your first finger, all the other fingers are shape like an open E, and the same thing for A shape barre chords. To change chord just move up or down on the fretboard like you do on power chord.

Really cool stuff- sounds from super Mario video game

Hello all of you. Today I’ll show you really cool and easy stuff to play on your guitar.
If you remember a very popular video game in erstwhile called "Super Mario" then you
remember the sound effect when Mario inserts the key into the lock. I’ll show you how do play it on guitar, it's really easy to play, even for a total beginner. All you need do to is press lower and upper E note on your guitar in 3rd fret. You can do it either with one finger like you do in barre chords or by using your 1st and 4th finger. If your finger is in position then pull lower and upper E string at the same time and slide your hand to the 12th fret.
Very easy, isn't it.

More about power chords

Last time I taught you basics about the power chord. This time I will tell you the most common power chord, the 5th string power chord. This power chord pattern is similar to the previous pattern, only its root note is now on the A string instead of the low E
string.
Those chords are written as F5, C5, A5 etc. They are very common in punk and rock music because they are very easy to play, and the chord change is the matter of changing frets.







Here is the table of chord names on the guitar's fretboard:

Power Chords

All right, I will tell you a little bit about power chords. The name power chord is combination of power, because they sound pretty powerful, and chord for chord. Actually, they are not really chords. Chords are 3 notes or more, whereas power chords only have 2 different notes.
The reason why power chords are so popular is that they are easy to use and they sound pretty cool. Power chords are easy to play just about anywhere on the guitar neck and it's often easier to use power chords for the really fast part of the song.

POWER CHORD PATTERN:

Power chord is really easy to play, and you don't need to change positions of your fingers.
Put your fingers in playing position and start playing. In order to change the chord just move up or down in the fret board.

Here is the finger position for power chords:
