Dear Guitar Student, Mike here from KillerGuitarTips.com

By now you should be building up a nice little bag of tricks to use and introduce into your guitar playing. These tricks and tips as mentioned previously are just a small part of the killer guitar course that we are currently working on due to be released shortly. The course will be structured in such a away as to bring the absolute beginner through to a Killer Player in the shortest possible time.

You need to keep an eye on your email for the launch date of this one of a kind speed learning guitar course.

OK, moving on to the business in hand

I am going to show you a nice little tip that will project your guitar playing into hyperspace!

Taking the D major chord move it up the neck to the 7th fret whilst still playing the open D string underneath the chord (this chord is called G/D that is Gmajor with a D bass note).

You can move it up a further two frets while still playing the open D and this would be called A/D.

Now take it to the 14th fret (octave D).

If you play one bar of each chord you will get a great sound with this superb chord sequence.

You can experiment with this shape at various positions on the neck to create your own sequence or even song!!

Moving on I would like to show you another easy little trick that is a top pro chord progression using the first and second strings played open throughout this four chord sequence to produce a great sound.

Here goes:

We will start with the first chord which is an Emaj chord with a difference. You are going to play it with its normal chord shape but slide it up to the 13th/14th fret (octave). [6th = open, 5th string = 14th fret, 4th = 14th, 3rd = 13th, 2nd open, 1st open] .

Now the second chord on this sequence uses the very same chord shape played at the 6th/7th fret and is called Aadd2. [6th = open, 5th = 7th, 4th = 7th, 3rd = 6th, 2nd open 1st open].

Then we will play one of my favourite chords, C#m7 but with a difference. [6th = open, 5th = 11th, 4th = 11th, 3rd = 9th, 2nd open 1st open].

Like it?

Finally we will play the Badd4 chord. [6th = open, 5th = 9th, 4th = 9th, 3rd = 8th, 2nd open 1st open].

Now try this sequence using different rhythms, it's really cool.

Ok, I know for some of you this may sound a little technical but really its not. Just give it a try anyway but don't panic if you find it a little difficult as everything will be explained in my Killer Guitar Tips Home Study Course. Until next week have a great week... I'll catch you then.

Regards Mike
