A guitar is a fantastic instrument. It can be extremely difficult to master but it also invites you to explore the beautiful but easy chords that are available. I will give you some easy but nice sounding progressions to explore!
In this guitar lesson I will use a special form of tablature with only numbers. I have found that the ordinary tablature staff can be displayed completely wrong on some article sites.
Therefore I invented this tablature notation instead. It works as follows:
The first number indicates the fret to press down. The number after the slash tells you what string to play. Here is an example:
3/2
This means: Press down the third fret on the second string and play the note!

Learn a flamenco guitar sounding progression
In this guitar lesson we will begin by learning what you can do with an ordinary easy E-major chord. It is played like this:
0/6 2/5 2/4 1/3 0/2 0/1
If you slide this guitar chord up one fret the three open strings will sound the same but as the other frets change you will hear a completely different chord with a morish touch to it. We can notate it like this:

0/6 3/5 3/4 2/3 0/2 0/1
Our next guitar chord is created if you slide the chord up two frets further. This will result in the following chord:
0/6 5/6 5/5 4/3 0/2 0/1
Now it is time to use these guitar chords to create a flavour of Spain. We can call the first chord A, the second B and the third C. You can play the chords in this order:
A B C B A
or a little more sophisticated:
A [A B] A [A B] A B C B A [A B] A (The chords between brackets played faster)
Learn some pop sounding guitar progressions
We will start out this guitar chord progression with the same basic E major chord:
0/6 2/5 2/4 1/3 0/2 0/1
Now we will change the sound of the chord by sliding it up three frets to the following position:
0/6 5/5 5/4 4/3 0/2 0/1
It will now be a nice sounding E minor 7 chord.
Try to slide the chord up two more frets and you will get the following guitar chord:
0/6 7/5 7/4 6/3 0/2 0/1
This guitar chord is called A add 9.
We can use the same method we used in the previous example. We call the first chord A, the second B and the third C.
You can play these chords in the following order:
A B C B with four downstrokes on each or a little bit faster with two downstrokes on each chord:
A A B A C C B B
Finally we will add just one more position to slide to with the chord. Move it up two more frets and you will get the following guitar chord:
0/6 9/5 9/4 8/3 0/2 0/1
Its a sort of B chord and we can call it D when we construct patterns. Lets experiment a bit with the chords we now have at our disposal. Play four fast downstrokes on each chord:
A B C D
This was just a few examples on what you can do with common basic chords. You can try this method with the common A-major chord or other chords and listen to the results.
