Practice Routine for E and A Chords

At the end of each Beginner course, I’ll give you my recommended practice routine. The following routine should last about 20 minutes.

Practice Routine for E and A Chords (20 minutes most days)

 Chord Practice

• Build your calluses, get your fingers use to making chord shapes automatically

 Rhythm Practice

• Stay on 1 chord and practice the 4 down strums, ideally with the drum loop provided in lesson 2

 Chord Sequences -

• ||E |A |E |A || This chord sequence played on the beat is totally essential!

Song Practice - To fast track while covering the essentials, I recommend:

• For What Its Worth

• Silence Is Easy

• Love Me Do
