Beginner Acoustic Jam Track 8 - D, Cadd9 & G and Melody with Slide
In this video
D Cadd9 G Easy Riff - 74 bpm
This Jam Track lesson is aimed at one of the most common chord progressions of all time and a lovely single note melody that includes an essential technique called a Slide.
Jam Track One
In this first Jam we are playing D, Cadd9 and G with the the D DU UD strumming pattern.
Try get the thumb involved, sitting on top of the fretboard on the Cadd9, to mute the open E string
If that is tricky or not natural to you, then we can pay more attention to what strings we strum
D String, from string 4 to string 1
Cadd9, from string 5 to 1
G, all the strings can be strummed!
How To Slide
Check out the video above on how to Slide.
A Slide is the first phrasing technique we have looked at so far and it pretty much does what it sounds like - we slide from one note to another. There really isn't any other instrument that can do this so we must make use of this epic technique we have access to.
