  • Hey guys! In this lesson we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

    Basically it’s a funky groove in E minor. I chose a chord progression useful if you are willing to learn different chord positions on the guitar, using the CAGED.

    Guitar : Ibanez AT100
    Equipment : Kemper Amp + Zoom TAC-2
    Tempo : 120 bpm
    Signature : 4/4
    Chord progression:

    | Em7 | X8

    | A | G | A | G |

    | A | G |

    | C | B9(#9) |

    | Em D | C D |

    | Em D | Am7 B9(#9) |

    | Em D | C D |

    | Asus4add9 | Aadd9 |

    | Em7 | X8


    Key signature : E minor

    Techniques used :

    - Strumming
    - Legato
    - Alternate Picking

    Have fun and stay tuned for the next lesson! ;)
