  • Transition between chords in todays Lesson “Sneaking Out”

    Reference todays Lesson “Sneaking Out”

    Does it matter which set of harmonized notes you use to transition between the chords?
    For example could you use the same ones on every transition?
    Going from C to D you use the same set as from Em to F.

    “If it sounds good, it is good”. There are many ways to transition chords. I like to play it the way presented though just for the versatility and discomfort it brings me so I get a new tool on my toolbox. The theory here is that there is a harmonized “bass run” going on from chord to chord. It is good to experiment with it.

    I have to agree with Albert. If it sounds good to your ear, why not! Since those notes are in the key of C – anything goes. Play around to see what you like. I’m finding going from Dm to Em & G to Am, I need to give extra thought and not an easy transition. I might try what you suggested until I can get the other sequence under my fingers later. Fun part about guitar is to customized it to your liking. In the end, that is all that matters. So play on….

    Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

    It would be easier if it was the same transition every time.

    However it does take extra effort and there is learning both mental and with moving my fingers when I do it, although slower, the way Tony “tabbed” it out.

    Thanks again.
