PLAYING CHORDS Study the photos and diagrams below to begin playing chords. Depress the string indicated with the tip of your 1st finger. Arch your finger to avoid touching strings that are to be played open. With your right hand holding the pick over the soundhole, strum across strings 3 through 1 in a downward motion. Or you may strum the strings with your thumb. The full versions of the C and G7 chords can be found on pages 23 and 25, respectively.

STRUM BUILDER 1 When the chords are used as accompaniment to singing, they must be strummed with a steady, even stroke. Practice the following exercises by strumming once for each slash mark ( ’ ), and changing chords when indicated above the slashes. Repeat the patterns several times while focusing on playing clear and evenly spaced chords.

Flamenco is a style of Spanish music that blends song, guitar, and dance. It is believed that this music was brought to Spain hundreds of years ago by migrating Gypsies. Flamenco guitar players often use the fingerstyle technique, which involves the use of the right-hand thumb and fingers to pick the strings. The fingernails are grown long and used as natural “picks,” as opposed to the common plastic picks favored by many guitarists.

HISTORY
PLAYING CHORDS Hank Williams (1923–1953) was one of country music’s best songwriters. “Jambalaya (On the Bayou),“ set in a Louisiana Cajun style, is a lively two-chord song. A bayou is a term for a Louisiana swamp, where a pirogue, or canoe, is used to find crawfish, an ingredient in the delicious jambalaya recipe.
Try strumming the chords to this song without the slashes. Just follow the chord symbols as the song progresses. Use the same strum pattern as before. Remember there are four beats in each measure.

HISTORY
PLAYING CHORDS
Robert Johnson (1889–1938) was the best known of the country blues guitarists from the Mississippi Delta. His popularity was on the rise around the same time that Woody Guthrie was traveling the country and singing his own songs. Johnson’s signature tune,“Crossroad Blues,” has been played by many guitarists, including Eric Clapton.

PLAYING CHORDS STRUM BUILDER 5 Syncopation
An off-beat rhythm, or the accenting of notes that fall on the “&” between counts.
Syncopated Strum Practice the syncopated strum patterns below as a variation on the down-up stroke.
Tips • Establish the down-up stroke pattern until you can do it without thinking.
•
Continue this down-up action throughout the syncopated strum patterns, but “miss” the strings where you see the word “miss.” Be sure to keep your arm moving just like the basic down-up strum.
•
This will result in the desired rhythms and will allow you to easily shift back and forth from one strum pattern to another. Strum

FINGER PICKING Arpeggio
An arpeggio is a “broken” chord whose notes are played individually and in succession instead of all at the same time.
Finger Picking
A very popular style of guitar accompaniment which uses arpeggios instead of strummed chords. The distinctive sound of finger picking comes from the right-hand thumb and fingers plucking only one string each in succession.
The Right Hand The right-hand thumb and fingers are given letters based on the internationally accepted system of Spanish words and letters: p = pulgar = thumb i
m
= indice = index finger
i
a
m = medio = middle finger a = anular = ring finger p
Right-Hand Technique
• The thumb (p) plucks strings 4, 5, or 6 depending upon which string has the bass note of the chord. This motion is a downward stroke. Use the left side of the thumb and thumbnail.
• The other fingers (i, m, a) pluck the string in an upward stroke with the fleshy tip of the finger and fingernail. • The index finger (i) plucks string 3. • The middle finger (m) plucks string 2. • The ring finger (a) plucks string 1. • The thumb and each finger must pluck only one string per stroke and not brush over several strings (this would be a strum). Let the strings ring throughout the duration of the chord.
Right-Hand Position
12
•
Use a high wrist and position your thumb and fingers over their respective strings.
• • •
Arch your palm as if you were holding a ping-pong ball. Keep your thumb and fingers relaxed and ready to play. Let the fingers do the work rather than lifting your whole hand.
59
NEW NOTES Below are three different F # notes on the fretboard to learn and play. Just move up one fret (or half step) from any of the regular F notes that you already know. 99. THE F-SHARPS Practice each of these finger exercises many times. 3 F# s

PLAYING CHORDS 12-Bar Blues
The most typical blues is twelve measures, or bars, long.
Many 12-bar blues songs follow the chord progression in the next exercise. Use the power chord shuffle you have just learned.

126. ESSENTIAL CREATIVITY Now go back and play the blues song “Sweet Home Chicago” (page 16) with a shuffle feel. Notice the similarities between this tune and the other blues tunes you have just learned. Many forms of American popular music are somehow related to the blues. Make a list of as many songs as you can think of that have this “blues sound” and discuss them with the class.
