How to Make Any Chord Progression Sound Better

playing technique Aug 28, 2021

How to make any chord progression sound better is the subject of today's guitar lesson for beginners. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you about one simple thing you can do to any chord progression to make it sound better. This is actually a really, simple tip. Most of the time when people play a chord progression, they change the chord on beat one of the next measure. Instead, what I want you to experiment with is changing chords earlier like on beat number 4 or the 'and' of 4. The listeners ear won't expect this change as much so it will instantly spice up any chord progression you're playing & make it sound better. Give this a try on the next chord progression you're working on in your songwriting or with any chord progression exercises you're working on with your strumming & see how much of an impact it can have.
