| Listen to a simple D A G progression: To play this progression give the D chord 4 beats, the A chord 4 beats and the G chord 4 beats then back to the A chord for 4 beats. Play this two times. |
It then goes to the G and D chord each with 4 beats, repeated 3 times. Then to the A and D 1 time. Then repeat over the entire progression. This would be a 1, 4, 5, 4 progression. D A G A. This is a very popular progression. Try to play this progression using different strumming patterns.
