Chords for Acoustic Guitar Lessons "A Minor Blues"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm going to show you how to do a kind of cool A minor [N] blues progression.
It's only three chords.
_ _ First one is doing an A minor chord, [F#] fifth fret.
The first finger fires the first, second, third string of [F#] the fifth fret.
Third finger gets the fourth string, seventh fret, [Am] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
which is where you have on that chord.
But then my thumb, you can reach it, I get, I reach over and get [D] the sixth string, fifth
fret with my thumb.
I [D#m] have a thing [Am] going.
_ _ I do a down, up, down.
[F#m] Then I go to the fifth string, _ _ fifth fret, _ and then I walk up to the seventh.
_ And [F#] _ then I get the [C#] third and the fourth string. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [C] And [E] _ _ [Cm] _ _
I end [F#] up on the [Am] fourth string, seventh. _ _
_ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] This sounds to me nicer [D#m] on an electric guitar, using the neck [D] pickup, a nice clean [F#] sound.
So you do that for [Am] eight measures.
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
You go into measure [F#] _ one, two, and three, and four, and one, two, and three, [Am] and four, and one.
So do [N] that, eight measures.
And then you go to an F major seven [Am] chord, _ _ [F#] which is a barre chord [A#] up here at the eighth [F#] fret.
The first finger is the fifth string, eighth fret.
The third finger is on the tenth fret on the fourth string.
My second finger is on the ninth fret, [D] third string.
My pinky is on the tenth fret, second string.
And my index [B] is, which is barring across here, it's picking [F#m] up the eighth fret.
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
Then I drop [D] it down to the seventh fret.
Keep that same shape, just take the middle finger off.
And I usually use that as my first [B] finger as a helper.
[E] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ Then I go back to [B] the riff for, _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] I'll play it through once.
Okay, first, [Am] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
third, _ _ fourth, _ _ fifth, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] seventh, _ [Am] _ [A] eighth.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[C#] And sometimes I'll [F] do a turnaround where I'm going from the F major seven to _ _ [E] E seven.
I'll do one measure of the [C] riff [Am] and [F#] hit it.
Then I'll go to an E seven sharp [G] nine, _ _ [F#] which is second finger on the seventh fret, [D] _ fifth string.
First finger is on the fourth [F#] string, _ _ sixth fret.
Third finger is on the seventh fret, third string.
And my pinky is on the eighth fret, second string.
_ [D] _
_ _ [G#m] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Am] _ [F#] I [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F#] _
have a YouTube video, it's called A Minor [G#] Blues.
And I was using it with a jam band that I had. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [B] All right, thanks.
