  • -Guitar Lesson:
    This lesson breathes life into a simple chord sequence by exploring chord voicings, inversions, and the addition of transitional notes. We begin with a basic progression of C, F, G, Ab, and transform it into a more elaborate sequence featuring chords like C/E and F7M. Utilizing the C Pentatonic Major scale, we smoothly transition between chords, while incorporating the Double stop technique to infuse a captivating groove. I hope you like it and please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
