Hey guys!
In this lesson we will play a fusion song, based on a swing groove in C# minor and A maj9.
We have C# minor with a nice chord progression on our hands, useful if you are willing to learn different chord positions on the guitar. I use a lot of hybrid picking, playing both with my pick and my fingers of the right hand.
Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shapes before practicing it at the full speed.
As always, pay attention to the timing.
Have fun and stay tuned for the next lesson!
