Instantly Play 12 Guitar Chords By Learning Just One Movable Shape

May 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Learning movable chord shapes is a fairly simple concept. Yet, they can dramatically increase the number of chords and therefore the number of songs at your disposal.

Like many guitar students, my beginner days were spent memorizing about 10 open chords. You know, the ones found at the first 4 frets at the far end of the guitar neck.

When I gradually learned to move smoothly from chord to chord a whole world of songs were suddenly at my fingertips. For the first time I felt like a real guitar player.

Guitar Scales 22 Fret System (parts 4 And 5)

Using the guitar scales 22 fret system we automatically take care
of the question of “what fingering should I use?”

Most guitarists and guitar method books promote 5 fingering
patterns called various names e.g., CAGED system, Berklee system,
GIT system etc The fingering generally varies from teacher
to teacher. The five fingering patterns are good for teaching
students how to read in a certain position on the guitar.

The guitar scales 22 fret system of 3 notes per string system is
an efficient and effective way of covering the entire fingerboard
and doesn’t lock us into a *pattern* remember I’m NOT thinking of
patterns I’m only thinking about the NOTES in a particular key.
