Dan’s Guitar Learning Journal

Chord progressions can really help you with your chord changing and rhythm when you are first learning to play. In fact they are generally more challenging than most songs you are encouraged to first learn.

The challenge with these is to, whilst staying in time (tapping your foot to the beat is a good way to measure this), progress from quarter notes, one note per beat (D D D D), then to eight notes (Strum one or two) with two measures per chord, then eight notes with one measure per chord and then finally one hit per chord. Once you have reached this standard you are awesome! (at these particular chord changes)

Here are all of the progressions I have “mastered” with video evidence.
