The 1, 4, 5 chord progression is the bedrock of being a "3 Chord Rocker" because it provides the essential harmonic framework for countless pop, rock, blues, and country songs.
The 1, 4, and 5 chords are super common in rock, pop, blues, and country. Learning them is like getting a cheat code to play a massive amount of music. Because it's just three chords, you can focus on getting your rhythm and feel right, which is what makes guitar playing sound good.
These chords are the simple platform that all those awesome riffs and solos you love are built on, letting you make a really full sound without needing to know a million different chords.
Practice the chord progressions below. / = how many times you strum the chord. The key is to focus on changing from chord to chord smoothly and knowing the chords you are playing.
To increase your speed Click here for a Metronome.
The Metronome is set at 60 Beats Per Minute (BPM). Feel free to increase the tempo as needed.
By mastering these three chords in any given key, you will gain the ability to play a vast repertoire of music.
How did you do?
How fast you change chords is not important now. But knowing what chord you are playing and how to form the chord is important to remember.
Test yourself by calling out a chord and playing it without looking at any of the previous chord charts provided.
To increase speed use the Metronome setting it at 4/4 time at 60 BPM (Beats Per Minute).
