Hi, welcome back to Week Four of guitar lessons in the music coach. This week, we're going to work on playing the entire chord structure for the A section of our song. And our song is going to have two sections, we're going to call this first part we're going on a, we're going to use the same chord has been in a different order to play the B section. For now, or a section chords are E minor, G, C, and D. And in this week's practice video, you're going to work on not only switching between those chords in that order, but adding a rhythm elements where sometimes you're going to be playing them as whole notes. Sometimes it's two half notes, and sometimes it's one four quarter notes. And like we've done before, if you need to switch early, just play your chord and then get your fingers ready and try and land in the beginning of the next bar.
A little note on rhythm. If you're not sure about how half notes, whole notes and quarter notes work, check out one of the rhythm videos that go in the pre course material that explains how that works. each chord always takes up an entire bar of four beats, which means if we play a whole note, we're going to play it it's going to go for all four beats to the bar. If we want to play half notes, we have to use two because they each get two beats. And if you want to play quarter notes, you have to play for them to make up the four beats of the bar. And lastly, you're going to work on playing through the structure of the chords for the A section twice, which is how our song is actually going to sound are always gonna play a BB.
Let's get too used to playing them. Back to back so that when you get to the end, you always have to think about where are we going next because music doesn't really go in a straight line. It travels in circles. Alright, great work and we'll see in the practice video
