[ Open A Progression ]
[ Guitar Rhythm ] [ Root 5 and 6 Progression ]
Root
6 and root 5 bar chords and guitar progressions
The illustrations below show the A chord and the root
5 bar chord.
|
The chord to the left is the A major chord in the open
position. The guitar chord to the right is the Root 5 bar chord. If
played at the 3rd fret, it would be the C chord. The note on
the A string or 5th string determines the chord.
|
This chord is called the movable root 5 bar chord. It is
determined by the note played on the A string or 5th string.
In this example, I am playing the C major chord, which is
played at the 3rd fret. This chord is also at times referred
to as the A type bar chord, this is because the A chord can
easily be converted to this bar chord.
The Low E string is not played with this type of chord.
Notice how I lay my thumb over the Low E string to mute it so
it won't sound.
|
 |
In this progression,
we use the Root
6 bar chord and the Root
5 bar chords. The progression starts with the G bar chord
played at the 3rd fret. The root 6 bar chord or E type bar
chord is illustrated to the left. Play this chord with your 1
finger at the 3rd fret. This would be the G chord.
More
Root 6 Bar chords added, minor and major.
|
Count slowly and evenly from 1 to 4 playing the indicated chord on
the indicated count.
Assignment:
- Play this progression until you can play it smoothly and without
looking.
- Close your eyes and try to play this progression.
- Play G major pentatonic over this progression. Review the
last lesson for the positions of this scale.

the D.
- Strum the C chord and then play the C major pentatonic scale at
the 8th fret
position.
- Strum the D chord and then play D major pentatonic over this
chord.
- Check out the A5,
C5 chords and more.
- More Root
6 bar major and minor chords added for reference.

of C major and modes, but pay particular attention to the C Ionian
scale.
Good Luck,
From the Jam Room
