"I'm want to show you for this clip a B minor progression. Again I'm going to do a basic strum but adding melody notes, a variation, just, there's all kinds of different variations you can do, and this particular one I'm going to do B minor, E major, and F sharp minor. So, just to show you the B minor, there's all kinds of different chords you can play, and keep it interesting, okay, and with the backing track it'll sound like this. Okay, and in this one what I did was a little more forward, rather than kind of like going... I kept it going more with the beat actually and I was going ... and what I'm doing there is starting down on the B minor chord I'm going ... pretty simple yet straightforward, and keeping the same picking pattern for E major. And then F sharp minor. And then end it up on my root of B minor. So you can actually keep the same picking pattern and just change the chords and create a nice progression that sounds good and full."
