Dan Denley has again kindly provided another video guitar lesson for my Blog readers. Dan has a whole bunch of fantastic guitar learning programs, including AmazingGuitarSecrets, BluesGuitar Secrets, AcousticGuitarSecrets and LeadGuitarSecrets and is always working to improve and upgrade them, as well as periodically developing new lessons covering yet another area of guitar music.
This lesson is taken from DVD 5 (Blues Guitar Progressions) of his Ultimate Guide to Chords course, a fully comprehensive learning program which gets you to understand the REASONS for playing particular chord patterns, or why a particular scale is suited for playing lead over a chord sequence. For me, this course bridges the gap between theory and practice which has always been my difficulty. The split videos ( showing both fretting and chording hands close-up ), along with the audio samples and tabs for each lesson, and the textual instruction from the manuals really bring it all together in a manner which is relevant to how you play guitar in the REAL world.
This mini-lesson is a short extract from Ultimate Guide to Chords showing how you can transform certain chord patterns just by changing tempo, and slightly adjusting the format of the dominant key - in this example he slows down a Dm7 chord set, switching the Dm7 for a Dm9, producing a really nice minor blues sequence.
Once again the video is split to show both the picking and the chording hands simultaneously in close-up.
I am sure you will find this lesson useful, and it should give you just a taster of what is available from the course:

Guitar Chord Progressions
Another video lesson from Dan Denley. Dan has a whole bunch of fantastic guitar learning programs, including AmazingGuitarSecrets, BluesGuitar Secrets, AcousticGuitarSecrets and LeadGuitarSecrets and is always working to improve and upgrade them, as well as periodically developing new lessons covering yet another area of guitar music.
He has recently released his latest learning resource - Ultimate Guide to Chords, which, for me, is the definitive learning program for understanding chord theory, how chords relate to scales AND how to put this into practice to improve your playing. I am honoured that he has once again selected this Guitar Tips blog to preview his Ultimate Guide to Chords .
The preview is a short lesson (just over 7 minutes) on video explaining, using the Roman Numeral System, how to harmonize guitar chords with any scale being played, and how to figure which scales should be played for any guitar chord progression.
When you see guitar players who can seemingly effortlessly sit in on a session, and play hot licks along with the chords being played, there is usually nothing instinctive about this, but a whole background of chord and scales theory learning, leading up to this ability.
This lesson ( 7m 13s) takes the C major and minor scales, shows the differentiation between the scale notes played for each, and shows how these notes can be played right across the fretboard. It then shows how to transpose what you've learned to the other keys.
Once again the video is split to show both the picking and the chording hands simultaneously in close-up.
I hope you will enjoy and benefit from Dan's expertise, the link to the course is below:

Chordie - The missing links!
Those of you who regularly use Chordie will have seen frequent
messages for several songs indicating that "The person hosting
these songs has asked them to be removed from the Chordie index"
Apologies, but I am that person! I'm sorry if you've been frustrated
by seeing these messages instead of your requested song chords, but
permission was never given to Chordie to use these songs, and they
have graciously removed them at my request. I would have preferred if
they had instead replaced their pages with links to my original
transcriptions, but this was unfortunately not possible.
Anywaze, you can find all 1,800 of 'em at PJ's Guitar Chords and
Lyrics - http://www.guitarsongs.info/. Or just search for PJs
Chords. While there are many 'warehouse' song chord and tab sites out
there, my site is based on accurate chord interpretations of an
eclectic selection of my favourite songs and artists from the 60's
right up to songs in the current charts.
