Basic Guitar Chord Embellishments


In this free video guitar lesson we will take a look at some common guitar chord embellishments.

You have probably heard this type of technique a thousand times in various rock, pop, country and folk songs. It produces a sound that is far more complex than it actually is to play.

I have had some requests for me to teach what is going on during one of those chord embellishment sequences so here it is. 🙂

Be sure to grab the TAB PDF that goes with this video guitar lesson since it shows you all of the notes you can use to embellish each chord.

    to me this is an example of the things you can do that can turn you into a guitar player instead of just someone who knows how to play. I was trying to practice these using some hybrid picking. The practice has showed me that I need a lot more practice and unless it became cool overnight to yank random notes with the pulloff finger, i really need a lot of work on pulloffs. Especially when its my 3d and 4th finger. They seem to have a mind of their own and lack that precision dexterity that fingers 1 and 2 seem to have. Excellent lesson card, THANK YOU!
