|
NOW AVAILABLE My friends! Today, I'm happy to share a brand new 8-page PDF guide that dives into minor keys. My aim is to give you everything you need to know when jamming or playing songs in any minor key — from chord families to common progressions, minor CAGED shapes, plus a list of all my song lessons in minor keys. Here's a video tour if you want a quick overview of the handbook. I do plan on making more videos diving into these topics, in time — but for now, I trust this will get you started! If you just want to dive into songs, I've got you covered — view all my song lessons in minor keys and have some fun! ​ IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... In the spirit of minor keys, I want to share lesson #447 from my back catalog — where I show a beginner-friendly blues groove in the Key of A minor. This one lets you combine bluesy bass-lines with strummed chords, played in a 12 bar blues format. Don't miss all my bonus content for this lesson! This includes a print-friendly guide (with tabs), as well as a brand new video jam track that you can use while practicing. I also have a zoomed playthrough, where I show everything I teach with tabs on screen – played a few different ways. View my free lesson, plus all this bonus content, on my lesson #447 webpage »​ Thanks all, and I hope you enjoy! Catch you in the next one. David Browse all my lessons at songnotes.net​
