Playing With Chords 01 | E & A across the whole neck

This is a guided practice, designed to go along with this practice track:
   • Playing With Chords  01 | E and A Jam...  

Also, I strongly recommend using note-name scratch paper so you can practice seeing these chords on the guitar neck at home.

I've got 180 lessons uploaded so far as well as over 50 creative writing challenges and an archive of over 90 live Q&A sessions. I'm always working on new content and working to make my Patreon community as welcoming, engaging, and fun as possible. Come check it out!

This lesson is designed to give you something fun to work on without having to learn technical terms like "the tonic triad, the subdominant triad" or the names of different voicings like "first inversion" or "second inversion." You don't even have to know what it means to be "in the key of E Major." I was hoping to give you some complex things to consider but in a creative package.

I think too many teachers have traditionally said something like:" "You want to have fun and be creative with music? You have to be miserable for a few years first. Then, if you're still so excited about music, you will have earned your opportunity to be creative." In my opinion, it's usually better to start by being encouraging and giving tools for creativity without too much explaining. Then, the student can find questions to ask, giving momentum and purpose to learning music theory. Music Theory doesn't dictate what ought to be. It merely describes what has been up to this point.

I hope you enjoyed this "Playing with Chords" episode. If you post a video of yourself jamming to the jam track, feel free to tag it with #playingwithchords01 and #scottpauljohnson
