When you play in a band situation, you need to play less… not more.

If you’re playing those “old school” clunky barre chords all the time it interferes with the bass and keyboard player. The low notes in your chords get all jumbled up with the low notes from the other instruments and you end up with a big mess.

The good news is that sounding better in that situation is a lot easier than sounding good playing on your own. Insted of playing harder chords, we’re going to work on playing smaller, easier ones.

These chords will always fit better when you play with other people.

This lesson was taken straight from my Blues Guitar Unleashed course and is just 1 of the 31 lessons in that course.

Here’s the tune all written out with the chord diagrams for each chord. (You can download it at the bottom)

Now here is a slow play-along video for you to try and play with:

And when you’re ready, here’s the full speed version:

Playing your chords like this really is invaluable to your playing in a group setting.

As I mentioned, this lesson comes from Blues Guitar Unleashed, but it's not the 1st lesson. If this seems a bit of a challenge, I can assure you it'll be within your grasp when you get there.
