Now, if this takes a few attempts, and that is totally fine, because this is the end goal of this first video, of this day one of this ten day guitar course. So if it's a little struggle at first, that's
online guitar tuner understandable because it might be the first thing that you've ever done. Go easy on yourself. Allow this trickiest part of this, the chord changes, to bed in and for you to get used to them before you put too much pressure on yourself. So let's play along together really slowly now. And let's have a go at our first song 'For what it's worth" by Buffalo Springfield. So we get ready on our E chord. We press down, and we begin strumming in two three four one two three four Then change to the A chord And begin strumming again one two three back to the E Changing back, and one two three four first finger stays down, we change to the A one two three four And pause there.
So now is the time to take stock with how you're doing. If you need to pause the video just briefly one time again to just do some individual changes. Which will drill that change a little more often, to help you get used to it more. Maybe take a quick break to rest your fingers a little bit. Because you might have big lines and you might be quite sore. That's understandable and totally normal in the beginning. And when you feel up for it, play this video from this point one more time, And this time we're going to try and get those spaces between the chord changes as quick as possible.
And the goal is just to keep our right hand strumming evenly. No matter what chord we're playing. However there is a change or not, We're just going to try and keep this chord hand strumming, ok? So from the E chord. Play along with me one last time, in one two three four E two three then to A A two three four E two three four And, A two three four E two three four A two three One last time from E E two three four And, A two three finish on E E And that's how to play our first song, and that is the end of day one of this ten day guitar challenge. Thank you very much for making it this far. Your homework now is to practice these two chords, the E major and the A major the changes between them. And then try and play them for four strums of the E chord and the four strums four the A chord. And we want to keep that chord sequence going for around a minute. And in total that should be around ten minutes worth of practice.
So if you do that straight away after watching this video, you'll be in the perfect position to join me for day two tomorrow. Where we'll learn a new guitar chord and a new song. And this time the song will have a very easy lead guitar part, which is a bit more of a melody, so we won't be just focusing on chords in this course. We'll also focus on some single string playing aswell. It's going to be really cool, it's just going to sound just like the song. And be really, really, really recognisable, something great to show your friends. And I hope you will join me there
