Use of scale tones to connect chords

| | Comments (0)
When playing common chords you can use scale tones to connect chords. This makes regular changes much more interesting and keeps the listener's ears going from chord to chord like a bouncing ball.
Starting with a simple A major chord at 2nd fret strum the chord down once and then add first finger to 2nd fret on the A string while holding the A chord pick the B note, then use third finger 4th fret A string and pick it. You can use this to go to D major. Next time I will cover doing this technique with other open chords.

Take care and keep on Rocking!

Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
