You know how you can go from E to Am (open) just by bringing your fingers
up to the next set of strings? Well, almost exactly the same here!

BINGO! E6/9! Remember, you can strum 1 2 3 4 chord change like this . . .

1 2 3 change 1 2 3 change! Don't strum on 4! Now you have a full count.



1234 count-in, Get your B7 in place, start the track below!
Just play B7 ''' B7 ''' E6/9 ''' E6/9 ''' % (% = "repeat")

Now YOU play along!


This is the same as the above track, except the tempo changes every other
iteration. OK, your turn!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 snare hits = do the hand thing!

Play these until you can make the changes fairly smoothly. Then work on the
DRILLS after the Learn'em tracks!

This one's more fun!

fast! Play it until you mess up. Then start it over. Do it 3 or more times!

Let's work on F# minor first!

Make an F# using the F form as above. But this time, use your 1st finger
to play the top THREE strings.

Strum the F# major chord, then lift off your 2nd finger, and strum again.

Way . . . To . . . Go . . . !!!

OK, sit back a minute and think this over. Was it worth the time? Did
you learn anything you think you can use? Will it be fun? And one more
thing . . . Can you play B7 and F better than before you WORKED this?

If the answer is YES to any of these questions, then please do 2 things.

1). Drop me an email. Or PM me on Facebook. Let me know what results you got!
