In this video
The Andalusian chord progression (Am-G-F-E in this case) appears in countless classics from "Hit the Road Jack" to "Sweet Dreams" to "Walk Don't Run." and "Sultans of Swing".
We'll use A minor pentatonic shape one, focusing on the middle octave to create lead lines over this progression.
Tone Tips: A semi-hollow body guitar for example -> on the middle pickup -> on a clean channel plus boost -> creates that rounded tone which suits the Jam Track for Noel Gallagher-esque sound.
Main Learning Points:
• Classic Andalusian progression: Am-G-F-E used in dozens of famous songs
• Lead line focusing on five notes from middle octave
• Fmaj7 fingering as beginner-friendly option (E major shape moved up one fret)
• Handshake angle fingering for future Vibrato/ String Bending technique
