Explore the world of Chords

Chris Elmore, creator of the ElmoreMusic series of guitar lessons and resources, and my partner in the GuitarBackingTracks project, has once again supplied a short, but very useful lesson for my Blog, which should be of help to all learning guitarists.

Chris has been a top guitarist for years, and has brought all of his experience and learning to the table in passing on his knowledge with the ElmoreMusic ( click the link for more info ) set of lessons. His GuitarTips course covers playing chords, arpeggious etc, but he has created an article showing my Blog readers how these techniques are related and how to be creative with working out neat arpeggios from chord sequence - and vice-versa! . Check out this guitar tip at the link below:

BTW, Chris has offered a great deal to my Blog readers - lifetime subscription to his fantastic Guitar Tips learning program for an unbelievable $27 ( it was already a steal at $49.95 ).

How to hold a Barre Chord

This tip comes from Chris Elmore, the mastermind behind ElmoreMusic, who provide GuitarTips, Guitar Backing Tracks, Guitar Leads, GuitarSongs and GuitarTheory resources.

This is quite a basic tip, but for learning guitarists it is one of the early hurdles which can stop you in your tracks. Most early learners try to avoid Barre chords, and 'learn around' them - but if you want to be a Guitar Player - barre chords are something you must master

Take command over your Instrument

This tip comes from Chris Standring, whose GuitarMadeSimple program... well, does what it says on the tin!

While learning theory and practicing all of the techniques you need to try to get your sound 'out there' are obviously critical, Chris' article goes into the importance of the level of control you have over your guitar, and of the relationship between guitar and player.

This is by no means a technical tip, but one that you should read, think about, and remember when you get on that stage and prepare to play to your audience.
