Intermediate chord progressions – lesson 7

This lesson involves chords in the key of E and in the open position.
Instructions: With effective fingerings will the shift between chord be relatively easy (although the C#m7 can be demanding because of the four-fret stretch). Use the middle finger as common finger during the Amaj7 - C#m7 - F#m11 changes (see How to switch between chords for explanation of the common finger concept). The E6 is only play once, instead as E in the outro measure.
