Thanks, Sinisa!
Blister8th November 2011This is a great lesson for me (I haven't been working much on my chords lately). I hope more experienced guitarists don't overlook it being a level 1. This is a challenging & fun lesson. And your explanations are very helpful. Thanks alot Bear!

Great lesson. Keep up the good work!
I have a little bit trouble with the D/F# on the higher neck to get the change from the low end of the neck and get a clean "grip" and avoid unwanted muting. - Ivan Milenkovic3rd December 2011
This change can prove tricky because of the thumb, but don't worry. Be patient. Do the changing motion veeery slowly, like in slow motion couple of times to get the mechanics of it. Try with metronome, it will help. Results will be visible after couple of weeks, so nothing to be concerned about. Be patient, and you will do great.

Hey GMC'ers!
Welcome to another Beginner's Corner lesson. Today we're going to expand our chord vocabulary! Venturing out from basic chords, we're going to tackle slash chords. Now, I know that you're getting excited because I just said "slash", but no, it's not Slash from Guns 'N' Roses, but rather actual types of chords.
Tonality and Chord Progression:
This tune is in the key of G Major and the chord progression is as follows:
G/B, G/C (or Cadd9), D/F#, G x8
C5, G/B, A5, G/B, C5, G/B, A5, D/F#
G/B, G/C (or Cadd9), D/F#, G x4
Equipment & Sound:
For this lesson I used a Gibson Les Paul Studio with P90 pickups on the bridge pickup setting. I ran it through a Keeley TS9 Mod Plus Tubescreamer for the overdriven section. I used an emulated Fender Bassman amp with some added delay and reverb in POD Farm.
Tuning:
A 440 Standard
