Lost Stars Chords

*Em instead of Em7 Add caption

Learn guitar from the song - Lost Stars - Adam Levine - intro-02chord / right hand

Lost stars - Adam Levine intro Lost stars intro chord F maj7 There are 4 bars intro If you don't know what is " bar" in music. I suggest you to clap your hand along the song and count 1-2-3-4 You will see you can count 1-4 four times (which equals to 4 bars) One-bar mostly have 4 beats inside Like this chart If you are totally beginner, I suggest you to play only one whole note in a bar. Play at beat 1 and leave it last to beat4 then play again on1 on next bar. Anyway, if you wanna play exactly like the original intro of Adam 's This is how to play Right hand swing up and down on the 16th notes but only yellow highlight beats that pick touches the strings. To make it easier listen to the clip I speed down the intro to50% http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVu_vS5pMbs

Practicing - Scale - Major Scale

Format of Major Scale Whole - Whole - Half - Whole - Whole -Whole - Half This chart displays notes on Fingerboard ( guitar fingerboard from this view) The double line on the most right is the nut ( a white line between guitar neck and head) the alphabets on the right are notes on open strings You can divide the whole neck to 5 positions 1. Start with the open position (open strings to 3rd fret) 2. Fret 2 - 5 3. Fret 5 - 8 4. Fret 7 - 10 5. Fret 8 - 12 then fret 12-15 ( same position as the first one with 1 octave higher)
