After you’ve finished learning a basic set of open guitar chords and some universal strumming patterns you may be very tempted to immediately jump into learning songs however this is often a classic mistake made by beginners. Before going into songs we need to complete a very important intermediately step which is to spend a week or more cycling practice chord progressions. These chord progressions should be specially designed by your guitar tutor and closely represent what you’ll commonly encounter in songs.
The main advantage here is that you’re going to arrive to the stage of learning guitar songs very well prepared and this will make the transition out of learning guitar into actually playing songs all the more easier. There’s a way to make practice progressions closely resemble what you’ll find in many songs but with slight alterations to make them more suitable for a beginner. The process provides students with that all important even learning curve so crucial for success in learning guitar.
