Thanks for the feedback, charmy.
It's all a matter of what level your playing is at. I start my students with one chord, to get familiar with the strumming patterns and, when they're ready we do them with a 4 chord progression.
Just take it one step at a time,

Muting
Hi, Steve.
Could you please throw some light on the concept and technique of muting? I'm not sure I understand it properly.
Thanks.

Muting
Hi, AR.
There are two kinds of muting and both involve silencing strings. For rhythm guitar, muting lets you add a different feel to your music, making it sound stacato (choppy) or a little spooky, like in my solo version of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody". For lead guitar, muting keeps unwanted strings from being heard, usually helpful when playing faster leads. I have a short video on Palm Muting for Rhythm Guitar on my web site, just scroll down towards the bottom. Hope this helps!

RE: Muting
Thanks a lot, Steve. I loved the video on palm muting. My playing has been sounding a little momotonous to me, so maybe introducing palm muting might just liven things up a bit by adding another dimension to it. :)
How do you mute individual strings, while playing lead guitar?
