TIRED OF PLAYING THE SAME, OLD, TIRED CHORD PROGRESSIONS? (review #2)
There’s a lot of ways to practice chord changes, but most of us work on them by playing songs we’ve been trying to master over, and over, and over again. Even after we master them, we often continue repeating these same progressions in the same key in which we first learned them.
Needless to say, this gets boring. It also means we never actually learn how to effortlessly switch between any and all of the chords in our repertoires.
To help keep the fingers nimble, and more importantly, to truly master changing between chords with speed and ease, use this site to help guide your practice.
Autochords provides randomized lists of chord changes in different keys and in different styles. This way, you can practice switching between any number of possible chords while still creating a cohesive, musical sound.
In addition, autochords is great to use if you are playing around with songwriting! By giving example progressions, it allows the songwriter in you to hear the differences between many sets of chord changes in any key -- giving you the opportunity to create music using chords and progressions you may otherwise have never thought to try.
I highly recommend this website to all musicians, not just guitarists. It’s a lot of music theory made simple and digestible to people of all knowledge levels. I use this site fairly regularly, and I suggest you do, too!
