Having taught thousands of students over the years we have moved from doing it the ‘correct’ way with the usual bedrock chords of Em, G, C, D, A, Am etc etc etc. The difficulty with that approach is that often all fingers have to change their fret and string position as you move from chord to chord. Instead we teach using a few basic chords with more complicated names that essentially allows them to change from chord to chord with minimum finger movement.<\/p>\n<p>We explain the new approach in the article below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"bUGnk97vxm\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/how-to-teach-beginners-guitar-a-new-approach\/\">How to teach beginners guitar \u2013 a new approach<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"“How to teach beginners guitar \u2013 a new approach” — Musicademy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/how-to-teach-beginners-guitar-a-new-approach\/embed\/#?secret=3MF31n09Nf#?secret=bUGnk97vxm\" data-secret=\"bUGnk97vxm\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Easy Beginner Guitar Lesson: Using Gm, Em7 and CADD9 in Sequence<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CyGZUI7Q_AU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This lesson is from the Musicademy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/store\/uk\/christian-guitar\/guitar-downloads\/new-beginning-worship-guitar.html\">Beginning Worship Guitar course.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This lesson teaches how to use a sequence of the chords Cadd9, G and Em7.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the course features the following songs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A New Hallelujah \u2013 Michael W Smith<\/li>\n<li>Praise is Rising (Hosanna) \u2013 Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown<\/li>\n<li>Our God \u2013 Matt Redman<\/li>\n<li>Your Grace is Enough \u2013 Matt Mayer<\/li>\n<li>Beautiful One \u2013 Tim Hughes<\/li>\n<li>How He Loves \u2013 David Crowder<\/li>\n<li>My Soul Sings \u2013 Delirious?<\/li>\n<li>Open Eyes of My Heart \u2013 Paul Baloche<\/li>\n<li>Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) \u2013 Chris Tomlin<\/li>\n<li>Indescribable \u2013 Chris Tomlin, Laura Story<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Substitute chords and tricks in C<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/77mgPGmgCbQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This lesson is from the Musicademy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/store\/uk\/christian-guitar\/guitar-downloads\/intermediate-acoustic-worship-guitar.html\">Intermediate Acoustic Guitar course.<\/a><br \/>\nThis lesson takes chords further and looks at cheats and substitutes in the key of C.<\/p>\n<p>We take it deeper with some licks and tricks that work well with \u2018C\u2019 shapes.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been the kind of worship leader or player that has always stuck mainly to some \u2018G\u2019 based shapes this lesson will massively expand your chord library.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Using 5 and Add9 Chords to Add Strength and Beauty<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4De8j336Grw?feature=player_embedded\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis lesson is from the Musicademy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/store\/uk\/christian-guitar\/guitar-downloads\/intermediate-acoustic-worship-guitar.html\">Intermediate Acoustic Guitar course.<\/a><br \/>\nThis lesson digs into some more unusual chords to add style and delicacy to your chord vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>We explore shapes for \u20185\u2019 chords and add9 chords for adding strength or beauty to the sounds.
