Simple But Awesome Guitar Exercise Learn Chord Changing And Keys/Circle Of 5ths
Hi, I�m Tomas Michaud from Real Guitar School. Today, Im gonna show you an exercise that
I insist to all students do and sometimes more advanced students as well because its
not only is gonna help you move more smoothly from chord to chord but also gonna train your
ears to hear the important chord relationships and then the key so make sure to watch to
the very end so you can take advantage of my free offer. Lets do it.
It�s time for the 2 chord key change exercise. This exercise is a chance to practice not
only your chords but also changing from chords in a key so youre gonna train your ear which
is the one in the 5 of the most popular keys for the acoustic guitar. Ive organized this
exercise so that it goes to the cycle of keys in the circle of 5ths and if you don�t know
what that means, I would encourage you to learn more about that but the most important
part is to memorize the practice and play it so that you can go from one chord to another
smoothly and easily. Notice that I said memorize it of course, you can download the sheet and
follow the sheet but as quickly as you can, its really very helpful to memorize it, trust
me on this. I get a lot of students who just a little lazy to kinda break that barrier
and really memorize the exercises. It will be twice as powerful if you memorize it. Now
there�s a technique. You don�t have to memorize the whole thing from start to end.
What you do is you chunked it down. You start by memorizing the first few chords, three
and four chords then out a few more and keep pushing it until you get to the end. Youll
see in this exercise that I�m gonna show you, that�s kinda how I presented to you,
now with no further a do, here�s the 2 chord key change -- oh and, yes I actually do watch
it and download the sheet, just memorize it.
Okay, were gonna practice some open chords but were also gonna train you to hear a key
change. These are gonna start with the key of E and then go to the key of A, key of D,
key of G and on the key of C. Start with E, B7, E, E7 � lets just do that much, two
strums each, ready go - E , B7, E, E7, E7 is the 5 chord going to a next key which will
be A. Lets do that again � E , E7, E, and E7 now with the A, okay. Lets do that much
again, ready E, E7, E, E 7 and then A. Now were gonna go from there from E7 to D, lets
add that start again from the beginning. I call them out � E, E7, E, E7 now A go to
E7 and you�re fingering to the D.
Okay, we will do that much again but this time, were gonna go from D to E7 to D. Okay,
here we go start with E, ready hit it E7, E, E7, to A, E7 to D back to E7 and then to
D, we will end there. Okay, start again but this time at the end, were gonna add D7 and
to G. Okay start with E � ready, go � E, E7, E, going to D7, A, A7 to D A7 back to
D now at D7 to D okay. Now were gonna do it again, this time at the end, were making it
longer, were gonna go D7 to G, D7 to new one.
Okay start with the E, ready go � E, D7, E, E7, A, A7 to D back to A7 and to D, E7
to G, D7, G, very good. Next, were gonna go G7 and then C, G7- C. Okay start with the
E follow along. You don�t have to memorize it just follow me. Ready go. D7, E, E7, A,
A7 to D, A7 to D, D7, G, D7, G and then G7 and on C, let�s do that again.
At the very end this time, Im gonna do the C, the G7 to finish it off so lets start with
E ready hit it � D7, E, E7, A, A7 to D, A7 to D, D7, G, D7, G, G7, on the C, G7 and
this the end C � that�s the whole exercise. Lets do it again. Again, just follow along.
You don�t need to memorize it, start with E � ready go, D7, E, E7, A, A7 then to D,
A7 and to D, now the D7, G, D7 and back to G, G7 and C, G7 and C � hit on C, good.
