We ll start with Stupid Chord Tricks, clever little mutations and variations that pour easily out of the guitar. People have stumbled onto them, they sound good and, in any case, you should know about them. They constitute the slang of the guitar.Passing Chords come next. These are the slash chords that feature unexpected bass notes that serve to tie together the chords in a sequence. In Bass Runs, the basslines are physically extracted from the chords and played as single notes in Walkups and Walkdowns.Finally, we get into playing Single Note Lines. We ll use familiar melodies, talk about different right and lefthand techniques and do a little blues improv using what are called Pentatonic Scales. Then we ll move into the realm of reading Standard Music Notation (the dots and the flags and the beams) with as little pain as possible.Table of ContentsStupid Chords Tricks involving:The G chordThe G7 chordThe D chordThe A chordThe C chordThe Am chordThe F chordThe E chordThe Em chordThe E7 chordAnchor Chords RevisitedDrone Chord ProgressionsPassing ChordsG to EmC to Am and BeyondVarious othersMajorMajor 7th7thShapeShifting:C ShapeD ShapeG ShapeA ShapeE ShapeBass Runs:Key of GKey of CKey of EKey of AHammeronsActual ExamplesSingle Note Lines:Alternate PickingPosition PlayingActual ExamplesMajor Scale SummaryFun With PentatonicsE MinorA Minor Up the NeckAny KeyTwelveBar BluesG MajorC MajorAdvanced StrummingDamping PatternThreeoverFour PatternGetting to Carnegie HallNote ReadingNote ValuesLetter NamesOpen StringsFirst StringSecond StringChord TieinCombining the First Two StringsThird StringFourth StringFifth StringSixth StringRests
