The Essential Chord Changing Trick is a free guitar lesson by Peter Vogl that will help make your chord changes sound more fluid. Using a chord progression of G, Dsus4F#, Em7, and Dsus4, we will learn about pivot fingers. In each of these chords, you can leave your ring and pinky finger fretted on the third fret of the first and second string. This allows the strings to ring during the chord change and makes the progression sound more attached. Peter will also teach you a strum pattern to go along with this progression.

Em Acoustic Blues - Chords & Melody will teach you an original composition for acoustic guitar by Peter Vogl that combines playing chords and lead licks. Many students learn how to play chords and how to play pentatonic scales but don't understand how to use both in the context of a song. This piece will show you how to transition from licks to chords and back again. Understanding this concept will get you on your way to writing your own material. The download includes a Quicktime video and a .pdf of the tabs and chord charts. $5.99
