This is a useful chord progression in G Major for you to practice and experiment playing all your triad chord shapes and
solo guitar leads over.
Start by listening to the backing track.
(1) Listen for the ’feel’ or ‘groove’ of the music.
(2) Play arpeggio’s over the 3 triad chord tones (the root, 3rd and 5th) to hear the tonality of each chord.
(3) Play just a note or two of each triad chord, use silence as well, don’t just play notes for the sake of it.
(4) Start creating simple, short melodic ideas just using the three triad chord tones over each chord.
(5) Use your techniques i.e slides, double stops, hammer on’s and ‘pull offs’.
(6) Add one or two more notes from the triad scale of each chord.
Take your time, and keep LISTENING to the backing track as you progress. Always serve the backing harmony.
You don’t always have to play over each chord, there are no rules.
Keep adding notes from each chord triad scale and you’ll find you are soon playing meaningful melodic phrases, and
telling a story in music form.
If you want to explore improvising and creating your own solo’s just ask when you next attend your lesson.
