Announcement: GuitarControl.com Releases “Beginner Acoustic Guitar Lesson - Style of Oasis + Slash Chords”
(PRWEB) December 14, 2013 -- In this guitar lesson, now available on YouTube.com, Claude Johnson teaches sus chords (suspended chords) and / chords (slash chords) in the style of the rock band Oasis.
A suspended or sus chord is when the third of the triad is omitted and replaced with another note from the scale, such as Csus2 where the third is replaced with the second or csus4 where the third is replaced by the fourth. A slash chord or / chord is when the root note is not the lowest pitched note played in the chord and is replaced by another note in the key, an example would be D/F#, the D triad consists of D-A-F# and by making the F# the lowest note you get D/F#, pronounced D over F#.
In this acoustic guitar lesson Claude teaches the song Champaign Supernova by Oasis. The first chord in the progression is Asus2 which Johnson demonstrates in the open position by playing the second fret of the fourth string with his second finger and the second fret of the third string with his third finger and strumming the first five strings. The second chord is Asus2/G, which is played by simply adding the third fret of the 6th string with your fourth finger. Next is Asus2/F#, again same original chord, but this time you fret the 2nd fret of the 6th string with your thumb. Finally the last chord is Asus2/E which is simply playing the original chord, but strumming all 6 strings, with the 6th string being played open.
