hey all........ i'm new to IGT. i want to learn how to play chords...... i can play the tabs if i have them in front of me...... i even know the basic chords...... but i don't have any idea about the patterns..... i mean strumming pattern n all that stuff....... it'd be great to hear from u guys
Just come up with a simple strumming pattern and practice diff chord progressions like G C D or Am C G...... Practice similar progressions for 2 or 3 weeks Then pick out some simple song and try playing the chords for them
I hope this helps Honestly...I'm a newbie too..but i used this book called "Learn to play the guitar" they have provided a few simple songs with notations for appropriate chords...they help a lot ...you'll get used to shifting between chords in no time...(the book has 5 parts...since u know the basics I'd recommend book 4)
u cant possibly read sumthing and next day u get up and start strumming perfectly...it comes with some experimentation, practice and then lot more naturally!!...if sum1 tells u strumming patterns..that wouldnt be of much help either coz u cant get the timing of it that way here are some threads created to seek help wid strumming u can have a look>> https://indianguitartabs.com/search.php?searchid=653065 listen to the song..play along wid it!!..after sumtime of practice u'd be able to make out the pattern on ur own!!..then as ambush said..choose a range of family chords and strum them, they way u know!!..it would come naturally to u!!...but remember...u need to dedicate sometime n practice wid patience!! wasnt expecting any better reply from u!
