Simple Ballad Guitar Chords & Progressions

What can you play that sounds beautiful? What can you play that requires no accompaniment, uses just a few chords, and sounds great every time?

If you only learn blues guitar, you’ll be at a loss for notes when the situation requires something softer. In this Mini-Course, I’ll teach you how to use five-chord forms, six chords, and 20+ progressions to make beautiful music that requires only you and your guitar.

My goal is to make you a more well-rounded player. The blues goes a long way, but where the blues can’t go, ballads can.
