Simple, Useful Chord Inversions (E - A)
|
I have tons of great lessons at Master Guitar Academy. Join me there - it's where you can learn with me every week. That's also where all my DVDs and Premium Downloads are.

Guitar Lesson Overview
Playing the E chord and A chord can be done in several ways. Throw out the ol' strumming of them open chords, and let's dig into a more fun way!
Here we are using simple 3 note chords (triads) which we can also embellish with some hammer-ons/pull-offs.
This is not a pointless exercise - this is how I (and many other professionals) play chords on electric guitar. Simple, but effective.
