Lets Get Hold

A very significant component of guitar training is to learn how to play different guitar chords and to memorize the finger positions in these chords so as to facilitate east chord transition when you play chord progression. Irrespective of which guitar or style you are playing – rock, jazz, country or classical – you should develop a strong grip over the different kinds of chords so that you succeed in learning to play guitar in a flawless and versatile manner. With Learn and Master Guitar program, the guitar student learns to play all the basic major (A major, C major, D major, E major and G major chords which are the happy sounding chords) and basic minor chords (A minor, D minor and E minor chords which are the sad sounding chords) perfectly.

But once the student learns all the chords and finger positions correctly, it is time for him to learn ‘chord progression’, wherein the student will need to play one chord after the other. Emphasis is laid more on accuracy and perfection rather than on the speed. But this is true only until the student is new to chords. With time, learners must gain more speed in shifting from one chord to the next one, known as chord transition. Initially, this transition may be very slow, labored and imperfect. But ‘PRACTICE’ is the key to this problem. You would need to practice regularly in order to make your chord transition more smooth, flawless and refined. With Learn and Master Guitar by Steve Krenz Program, this seemingly difficult and arduous task becomes much more simple and interesting.

The instructor, Steve Krenz (world famous guitar player, teacher and professional), through his comprehensive, step-by-step video lectures (contained in the corresponding sections of the professionally produced DVDs that are provided with this Guitar training program) clearly teaches various aspect of guitar chords such as basic chords, interpreting chord formulas, making chord substitutions, playing chord progression, combining different styles together, playing advanced chords, etc. He provides the information to the students not only in written and audio visual form but also through demonstrations, workshops, practice sessions (where the learner gets to practice along with the instructor) and exercises in order to promote more effective learning.

The Learn Master Guitar program DVD series also offers a highly elaborate and interactive menu, which allows you to go back to the same chords or chord progressions that you are not confident enough with and those that you want to repeat again and again in order to attain perfection and proficiency. However, learning to expedite the chord transition process while you are playing a chord progression is a time taking process. You need train your fingers in order to add more smoothness and rhythm to your chord transition act. The instructor provides numerous tips when the transition between 2 chords goes very slowly. He tells his students to first learn to play each chord correctly. The next tip is to switch form one chord to another chord on time. He cautions you to minimize unnecessary finger movements and adjustments, when moving from one chord to another. He then advices you to practice this as many times as possible so that your movements become quite smooth and fluent. The Jam Along CDs and the DVD series f this program are extremely helpful in helping the student to attain perfection and speed in chord transition.
