Guitar On the Spot Review
You'll be able to make up your own songs, play along with any song and jam with other people.
The secret is knowing the key concept. Once you know it you'll realize that you just use a simple code to play the guitar.
If you have the ambition to play the guitar but you're having a hard time making sense of it, I feel your PAIN. I struggled for years until I finally discovered the key concept, then it all made sense.
Ever wonder how a band of musicians just spontaneously start making up music together and everything they play sounds good? I wondered that for a long time and then I discovered the secret I was missing.
Here's the secret:
The Secret
-The Key Concept-
**********************
The majority of songs that you hear are in certain "keys".
***********************
| Hotel California | Eagles | Key of D |
| Imagine | John Lennon | Key of C |
| Nothing Else Matters | Metallica | Key of G |
| When September Ends | Green Day | Key of G |
| Hey Jude | Beatles | Key of F |
When musicians jam together, they pick a key for their jam, like the key of C, or the key of D, and then start playing notes and chords in that key. As long as everyone is playing in the same key they will sound good together.
So 'Hotel California' by the Eagles (in the list above), mainly uses the notes and chords in the key of D. 'Imagine' by John Lennon mainly uses the notes and chords in the key of C.
It's not a rule that everyone must stay in the same key (there are no rules when creating music. It's just a starting point to get everyone on the same page.
You can see and hear what I'm talking about below. There's a chart with a bunch of diagrams and some yellow buttons. Each row of chords represents a key.
If you want to make up a song, all you do is pick one of those rows and play any chords in that row one after another. There are six main chords in any key (row) so you can roll a die to select the chords.
You can hear the chords in the key of C by clicking on any yellow buttons. If you're completely new to guitar, click here to learn how to read chord diagrams in three simple steps.
Clicking the buttons is a fun way to make up songs without even having to learn how to play the guitar. When I'm too lazy to pick up the guitar I just sit there and make up songs by clicking the buttons. And I actually find that it's a great way for me to write songs. I think of parts I wouldn't have thought of if I was playing the guitar.
On this website you'll find out how easy it is to do things that you didn't realize you could do and you'll never want to put your guitar down.
I've included a bunch of free online guitar lessons that you can check out and if you feel like you want to know more you can download my free guitar e-book and subscribe to my free song making guitar lessons.
