Here is one pattern for the C minor blues scale that will work perfectly over the ‘Sweet Dreams’ progression. You can loop the progression or even have a play over the song. Enjoy! 👍🏻👊🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarimprov #guitarimprovisation #guitarscale #guitarscales #learningguitar #guitarteacher #guitarlesson #guitarlessons #guitartutorial #guitartutorials #guitarlessonsskype #guitarlessonsonline #guitartheory #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #guitarfretboard #beginnerguitar #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #musiclife #musiclovers #musicians #makemusic #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
A new progression from Eurythmics. Again, inspired by a random Spotift playlist, this one is a classic. If you know any other songs using this progression then do add them in the comments, and if you have any other progressions that should by shared with the RYNGTR community then let us know! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #eurythmics #sweetdreamsaremadeofthis #80ssynth #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarteacher #guitarlessonsonline #chords #guitarchords #progressionoftheday #songwriter #songwriting #songwritingsession #songwritingsessions #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #music #musicians #musiclife #musiclovers #makemusic #guitarnerd #guitargeek #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
A bonus Chord of the Day to complete the mini-series on the Revelry progression. Here is the chord shape from the previous COTD up a whole step for a G♯ minor substitution. Sounds awesome in the progression with the F♯m7 add 11 👍🏻👊🏻
A new Chord of the Day which will work perfectly with the 'Revelry 'progression. Another way we can play the F#m7add11.
Let me know if you like this idea 👇🏻and I’ll make it a regular feature 🙏🏻. Here is one scale pattern that will work perfectly over the ‘Revalry’ progression. You can loop the progression or even have a play over the song. This is the major scale pattern I often default to (G-shape major). I find it’s more useable than the more commonly taught major scale (the E-shape). Enjoy! 👍🏻👊🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarimprov #guitarimprovisation #guitarscale #guitarscales #learningguitar #guitarteacher #guitarlesson #guitarlessons #guitartutorial #guitartutorials #guitarlessonsskype #guitarlessonsonline #guitartheory #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #guitarfretboard #beginnerguitar #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #musiclife #musiclovers #musicians #makemusic #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
A new progression courtesy of Kings of Leon. My wife had a playlist of their music on today (I had forgotten how many good tunes they’ve got!). This one stood out as a new progression to share with you. A I-ii-iii-ii in the key of E major. Look out for a suggested scale to use for improvising later today 👊🏻🙏🏻 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #kingsofleon #revalry #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarteacher #guitarlessonsonline #chords #guitarchords #progressionoftheday #songwriter #songwriting #songwritingsession #songwritingsessions #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #music #musicians #musiclife #musiclovers #makemusic #guitarnerd #guitargeek #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR

We can link up all the octave patterns to find every location of a specific note name across the fretboard. This is SUPER useful, especially as you get into the study of the CAGED system 👊🏻👍🏻
CAGED Clarity: E-Shape (6/9) The Major Triads. We can use the major chord shape as a guide to visualise and play three different closed voicing triads. We use the term ‘closed’ voicing to signify that the notes are as close in pitch as they possibly can be to one another.

A new progression courtesy of @lisahannigan and it’s a beaut. This is the main progression for her 2016 song ‘Prayer For The Dying’. I’ve enjoyed teaching this to students in the past as it’s a gorgeous progression with a nice 12/8 picking pattern and a bonus barre chord chucked in there. I’ve shared my insights on this on my IGTV so go and check it out! 👊🏻🙏🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #lisahannigan #prayerforthedying #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarteacher #guitarlessonsonline #chords #guitarchords #progressionoftheday #songwriter #songwriting #songwritingsession #songwritingsessions #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #music #musicians #musiclife #musiclovers #makemusic #guitarnerd #guitargeek #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
I saw that @ShawnMendes and @teddygeiger released a cover of Queen's 'Under Pressure' and it seemed liked the perfect song to do my first reaction video. I am a MASSIVE Queen fan and ‘Under Pressure’ is hands down my favourite song. I was worried…Get the verdict on my YouTube channel. Link in bio 🤨🤔😬
CAGED Clarity: E-Shape (5/9) The Major Triads. We can use the major chord shape as a guide to visualise and play three different closed voicing triads. We use the term ‘closed’ voicing to signify that the notes are as close in pitch as they possibly can be to one another. This is a first inversion major triad with the major 3rd being the lowest note (in pitch).

Get your FREE ‘Fretboard Mastery’ eBook when you join my mailing list (link in bio). Here is your eleventh essential fretboard pattern. Our 5-2 octave from the previous post can immediately become a 4-1 octave shape if we move the notes down a string towards the floor. Nothing changes here are we don’t have any note moving from string 3(G) to 2(B) 👊🏻👍🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarsdaily #guitarstagram #guitarsarebetter #learningguitar #guitarteacher #guitarlesson #guitarlessons #guitartutorial #guitartutorials #guitarlessonsskype #guitarlessonsonline #guitartheory #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #fretboardmastery #guitarfretboard #beginnerguitar #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #musiclife #musiclovers #musicians #makemusic #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
Another Chord of the Day from the previous Progression of the Day - a B mixolydian progression from Foo Fighter's song ' Learn To Fly'. Do you know of any other songs that use this chord? I know it’s in Oasis’ ‘Supersonic’. Any others, let us know 👇🏻👊🏻🙏🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarteacher #guitarlessonsonline #learningguitar #beginnerguitar #chords #guitarchords #chords4days #chordoftheday #songwriter #songwriting #songwritingsession #songwritingsessions #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #music #musicians #musiclife #musiclovers #makemusic #guitarnerd #guitargeek #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR

A new progression and the first entry for Foo Fighters. This is the main progression of their 1999 release ‘Learn To Fly’. I’ll be sharing a couple of new COTD to help with this particular progression. Remember that you can use the Roman numerals to transpose this progression to any other key. For example, this progression in C Mixolydian would be C-Gm-F-F. If this is a mystery to you, you’re going to want to check out my theory course when it launches! 👊🏻🙏🏻
A new Chord of the Day from transcribing some John Butler Trio. This is a Gsus2, an awesome substitution for your open G major to add a little more colour into your chord progressions. Try it with yesterday’s Progression of the Day 👍🏻👊🏻⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #guitar #guitar🎸 #guitarist #guitarteacher #guitarlessonsonline #learningguitar⠀ #beginnerguitar #chords #guitarchords #chords4days #chordoftheday #songwriter #songwriting #songwritingsession #songwritingsessions #guitarmusictheory #musictheory #musictheoryclass #musictheorylessons #guitartheoryfordummies #music #musicians #musiclife #musiclovers #makemusic #guitarnerd #guitargeek #musicnerd #theorygeek #RYNGTR
