Hey guys, I hope you are having a fantastic day. Today I am going to show you how to play a beautiful Spanish chord progression combined with melody. The goal is to learn how to change between chords and melodies fluently.
Few important things about this exercise:
The chord progression is straightforward. However, you will have to learn the dreadful F major chord which will be played with a bar chord on fret I.
The fingerpicking pattern is in “three,” meaning we will be playing triplets. There are two different patterns to learn.
I wrote the simple melody using two different scales: The A minor scale and A harmonic minor scale.
Take things step-by-step and learn the fingerpicking pattern on one chord before moving on to the next -chord.
Hey guys, let me show you these beautiful intermediate chords on acoustic guitar to practice over the weekend.
I am honestly having a ton of fun experimenting with different chord progressions in a different key, and this video wasn’t an exception.
There are two things you’ll have to consider when practicing and playing the chords in this lesson.
Mind the stretch. Sometimes, To create beautiful chords, we will have to play positions that can be a little bit stretchy at first. You will be able to stretch your fingers step by step. Be patient and focus on your goals.
Easy fingerpicking pattern. I decided to keep the fingerpicking pattern simple so that you can focus more on the chords. The pattern is the same throughout.
Learn one chord at a time if you have to and enjoy the lesson 🙂
Hey guys, welcome to another Technique Lab tutorial.
Today we are checking out the Travis Picking module 5-6 where I am going to show you how to play fingerpicking patterns on two sets of strings as well as adding a chromatic/bluesy note to the chords.
Merle Travis was one of the most popular fingerpicking players ever existed, a Country music star that influenced thousands of guitar players all around the world. His technique was unique and challenging.
The Travis fingerpicking technique improves your ability to fingerpick while holding down the bass notes throughout your piece. Learning to bounce between the bass strings will also improve your timing and rhythm. There are a lot of musical genres in acoustic guitar music that use this technique. This skill will serve you well.
Just Beautiful Chords Only Possible in C Sharp Minor KeyÂ
Hey guys, today I want to show you few beautiful chords only possible in C sharp minor key. The chords I am about to show you are insanely simple to play but beautiful.
I was amazed I came up with such chord progression, to be honest. After so many years of playing guitar, I didn’t think I could still come up with this type of chords in C sharp minor key, which is a key I have been using a lot!
Playing guitar is fantastic because we can always come up with new ways of playing chords no matter how long you’ve been playing.
The concept behind this lesson was to create chords that share the same shape up and down the neck, and I think I came up with some pretty cool beautiful chords.
Sad Chord Progression with Easy Fingerpicking Pattern

Hey guys, welcome to another fingerpicking lesson. Today I am going to show you a sad chord progression with easy fingerpicking pattern nobody can resist.
The goal in this lesson is to create a beautiful, sad chord progression with an easy fingerpicking pattern. The chords are effortless to play yet not performed in their basic form. We will play simple triads in different positions of the fingerboard.
This lesson is perfect for fingerstyle beginners who have experience with simple chords but need a way to play them differently and in a much more creative way.
Hey, guys, I hope you are having a fantastic day. Today I am going to show you how turning scales into beautiful music on fingerpicking guitar.
We will be working on G major key, and I am going to show you how to add chords around the G major scale and the E minor Pentatonic scale to make it sound beautiful and melodic.
We mainly practice scales to improve our technique. This is great! But you can also use scales to compose music. I put together a very simple chord progression to play around the scale which I am going to show you in this video lesson.
I hope you will find this fingerpicking lesson, helpful guys!
Let me show you how to play simple chords that sound beautiful on fingerpicking guitar only possible in E minor.
One of the most amazing things about fingerpicking technique is that we are always in full control on the strings. In this example, I am going to show you how to pluck simple chords on a higher position of the neck while still benefit from open strings.
By using this system, even a simple chord such as E minor sounds completely different.
There are three things we will be focusing on in this lesson:
We will keep the fingerpicking pattern simple.
The chords will always change voicing.
I am going to show you how to implement simple natural harmonics while playing chords.
Take things step-by-step mainly if you never played fingerpicking guitar, natural harmonics, or chords on the higher part of the neck.
Hey guys, let me show you how to play Swan Lake by the virtuoso composer Tchaikovsky on fingerstyle guitar.
In this guitar lesson, I am going to teach you the “Bass and Melody” and “Chords and Melody” version of the song, which is indeed very simple to play. We will learn the simple melody along with the bass note of each chord.
This melody was originally written in B minor key, but in this tutorial, we will be checking out my arrangement in A minor.
There will be two additional levels released soon in which we will add the chords and spice up the melody. For now, enjoy the simplify melody with just bass and melody.
Hey, guys let me show you how to combine chords and melody on guitar. In this fingerstyle lesson, I am going to show you how important it can be to structure your exercise.
When you want to combine chords and melody, the very first step is to decide where the melody will be played. In this exercise, we are going to play chords in sextuplets, followed by a simple melody. I will keep the same structure throughout the entire exercise (there are just one or two exceptions).
Structuring the exercise is beneficial. Without it, you will just noddle few notes before getting bored or demotivated. We are going to start with a few notes before moving on to something more complex.
Hey, guys, I hope you are having a fantastic Sunday. Today I had a ton of fun recording this sweet melody in F major for fingerstyle beginners.
I think that as guitar players we spend too much time practicing in the same keys such as Em, G, Am, and C major. There is nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it is good to try something different so that we can also develop muscle memory on different chords.
This sweet melody in F major is the perfect starting point if you want to practice in a different key. I did my best to make the melody easy and smooth.
As always, take things step by step and learn one chord at a time.
