Chords for LESSON 1, I, VI, II, V CHORD PROGRESSION IN KEY OF C

Okay, we memorized our first chord C.
First fret, second string, middle of the fourth
string, and ring in the fifth string.
Second fret, third fret.
[C] Five string.
If _ you don't know that well, go back and get it.
Now, let's go ahead and move on.
This is [N] how we're going to memorize them all.
We're not going to memorize them by taking our hand off and doing another chord.
That's wrong.
We're going to keep our hand where it is, and if you want to get through these fast,
don't move your hand off the guitar after we learn a chord.
Make sure you're right up near the frets.
[C] _
Now, let's go ahead and go to the next chord.
Your first finger and your middle finger stick where they are.
[G] The ring comes off and goes to the third string, but it's going to scoot down to the second fret.
_ _ [Am] _
Five strings.
Make sure that first string is ringing out and you're not covering it with the first
finger like that.
So that's your next chord, your A minor.
We don't care about the name of it.
We're just going to talk about the movements.
[B] Now, from there, go [C] back to the C. _ _ _ _
Switch to the next chord. _ _ _
Make sure you get that switch as you need [C] to.
_ _ [Am] You can't see my hand, my right hand, but I want you to do [C] this.
Down, up, down, [Am] up, down, up, down, [C] up.
I wish I had [Am] a split screen.
We're going to do four [C] on each one.
One and two, three, [Am] four.
One and two, three, four.
[C] One and two and three and four [Am] and one and two and three [C] and four and _ three and four [Am] and switch.
_ _ _ [C] _
One, two, three, [Am] four, switch, _ _ three, [C] four.
Alright, one more time.
[Am] Freeze.
_ Alright, from there, [G] you're going to learn our next chord.
_ Drop to the next set of strings.
Your first finger goes to the [N] first string, ring goes to the second, middle goes to the third.
After you made that drop, we're going to make one more switch.
Ring finger to the third fret.
Stays on the second string, doesn't move off.
That's a hard switch.
We're only [D] going to strum four strings on this one.
[Dm] _ _ _ So from [D] the fourth string.
So that's our D minor, we don't care about the fifth.
[Dm] _ But we're going to go back to the first chord.
_ [Eb] Memorize the [C] movement again.
So from the next chord, your first and your middle [Em] stick, they do not move.
Ring [Eb] comes off, goes to the third string, [Am] scoots down to the second.
Five strings is strumming.
Now down [E] to the next set of strings with everything.
[Dm]
And then the ring finger spreads.
Drop and spread is the police say.
_ _ Not to [D] me, they say.
So, [C] the first chord, _ _ [Am] the second chord, _ drop and [Dm] spread.
_ _ And make sure you can do that movement.
[D] So let's isolate [Eb] the second to the third [Am] chord.
The A minor to the [Dm] D minor is a doozy.
So that's going to take a lot of work.
_ [Am] _ _
[Dm] Let's _ do it slowly.
One and two and three and four and switch.
And two and three and [Am] four.
One and two and three and [Dm] four and switch.
And two and three and [Am] four.
Five strings for this chord.
_ [Dm] Four strings for this chord.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ That's the hard switch.
[Am] _
Isolate that in your practice.
Get that [Dm] down nice and clean.
That's going to take the [Am] lion's share of your practice this week.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And [Dm] freeze. _
Now, your first finger sticks.
[G] Your middle goes to the fifth string.
And your ring to the sixth.
That's a big stretch.
You have to arch those so the ring doesn't touch the [B] fifth.
The middle can't touch the fourth string.
[G] What's that ring?
The first finger did it.
_ That's your G7.
So, _ _ six strings for this. _
_ _ So we have our [C] C, _ _ _ _ [Am] our A minor, _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] and our G7.
_ _ So go ahead and practice those until they're down.
And we're going to go on [Eb] to our practice companion once you've learned those.
And we're going to go
