Just a Beautiful Chord Progression (easy to play)

[@sloanIrrigation]

I've been playing since I was a young kid. When I was 15, lost forefinger and middle finger to a table saw accident on my left hand losing any ability to chord. One day, I turned the strings upside down and ended up chucking my guitar across the room. A few months later, I bought another. It was not an easy task to learn to play left handed but I finally began to see some progress after a very frustrating year and half and several (thankfully) inexpensive guitars. The challenge actually made me a better guitarist. Of course, I'm not as good as I would be with all 10 digits but I don't think I'd have ever gotten as good as I am if I hadn't lost them. This is my kind of music and what I play. I also follow the picking method of James Taylor. Please keep up this fine thing you're doing and thank you. I play around with everything I see you post and made alot of it my go to music when I'm sitting around with the family. Or alone and need to relax. You're the best

[@JasInSyd]

if you slow it down and try to break it into several sections and just keep practicing it until you can catch up with normal speed, then go onto next. Guitar is not about how much you want to learn, it more about how long and how often you can keep playing it :)

Abhishek Dhiman my brother, I truly wish you peace of mind and heart. I was a fireman for 30 years. I learned that not much good happens in this world after midnight. Worries and fears seem to grow larger between midnight and dawn. I strongly suggest you pray each night and aim to fall asleep around 10 pm. Look forward to a bright morning and go forth rested and cheerful. It’s not always easy but sometimes we have to fake it to make it! Remember this..... people move toward the things they think about! Train yourself to think up not down! Peace!

For all the dummies like me, video break down of right and left hand: 1:27: on fret 4: C sharp minor in right (finger 3 and 4) and left hand, while the left hand ads a "natural" sixth string E 1:29 on fret 12: with ring finger A major, left hand does nothing but stroke 1:30, on fret 8: with middle finger, E major, left hand ads a "natural" sixth string E I'll come back to edit this comment with the rest when I get back to it. cheers.

There’s alot of musical prodigies on here that have picked up a guitar 4 minutes ago, watched this video and can play this to perfection. Man there is talent out there lol

[@Dark_Aves]

I think part of the reason why this chord progression is so pleasant is that its the common "4 chord" progression but starting on a different chord than normal. If we take the common I-V-vi-IV chord progression and play it E major (which is the relative major scale of C# minor) we get Emaj-Bmaj-C#min-Amaj. If we play that progression starting on the vi, or C#min in this case we get C#min-Amaj-Emaj-Bmaj which is the chord progression in the video. A very pretty spin on the common 4 chord progression

[@tushar8405]

This is a common minor progression (I VI III VII). Nothing 'spin-y' about it. It is the melodic beauty that he has created within this chord progression, which makes it absolutely beautiful!

Been playing for a few years. This was tuff but I played it very slow at first and thought....man this is hard! But then after about 30 minutes I had the first section pretty good. Really not that hard once you get use to the finger changing. Thanks for teaching me something new and helpful. I've been stuck for about a year and this small lesson gave me an off ramp to drive down a new path! Take it slow everyone and you'll get it. Play clean and slow and the speed comes automatic.

Thank you, as a beginner this is my first song I've listened to and truly wished to learn. Everyone was recommending I start with "Stair case to heaven." Though I absolutely prefer something methodical such as this. Excellent explanations as well. After 15 minutes of consistent practice I am able to play the first verse from memory. If I am to learn the acoustic guitar, this is the style I wish to learn.

[@ProseStruck]

something I noticed from the footage can be used as a tip and might help many beginner guitarists (Like me) is that the nails of the hand that Marco use to pluck strings are long (as it makes it easier) and the nails on the hand used for pushing the strings down on the neck are trimmed (again as it makes it easier)

[@LASSOV]

I've been playing for like 8 moths or so I don't "practice" everyday, I just play what I already know and try to explore different variations, techniques, improvisations and scales I learned this song today. I needed like 2 hours or so (nonstop) to get every part right and even discover variations along the way. Now I will probably need a few days or even weeks to play it with flow and accurately. So, in my conclussion, this is appropriate for begginers. Today I just had one of those days, you know,,, I even tried to learn DIABLO 2 - TRISTAM song, and that's not for beginners, hope you can see the difference. I'll need weeks to get it right. And years to flow it with that fingerstyle... (notice the gap lol) Thanks you a lot Marco ♥ Ps.: It's well explained also. But you will need to repeat it or slow down the video. Just copy his fingers. It's like 2 strings at a time so if you find trouble in playing it slow, you're doing something wrong. We all do. Just notice it. Also playing it slow like an epic ambient soundtrack helps *UPDATE:* I totally learned both parts and even lots of variations and I can play them seamlessly. Cause I practiced this song every day
