Video Transcript

"I'm Rick Tobey on behalf of Expert Village and this is blues progressions part two. So first we are going to start with some open cords, first we'll do an A cord we hope an A and we'll do it the easy way where we're just going to use the index finger and we're going to essentially barre the D string, the G string and the B string with the first finger on the second fret. And we're going to try and avoid hitting the E string and if we do it's muted, so that's how we are and we're going to play the A cord in this progression and then we'll play a D seven where we slide the finger back and the next finger goes on the first fret the B string here are second finger goes on the second fret of the G string and the third finger goes on the second fret of the E string. Now on this part we are going to try and avoid hitting the no E string or if you want to get fancy you can put your thumb and hit the F sharp note with your thumb. But for now we'll just do it like this. And then from there we're going to go to a E seventh cord where we basically lift up all fingers and we keep the nine, get your index finger to go on the first fret of the G string and your second to go on the second fret of the A string. So can be seventh cord. So practice those three cords and then we go on to the next session."
