Having trouble getting the chords & rhythm together? This is a great progression for developing guitarists: it uses the five common chords of the key of E Minor in the 'aeolian' mode common in Pop. There are many other songs that use the same chords, so The River makes an excellent practice piece. All the chords and strumming symbols used in this chart are introduced in Modern Guitar Chord Styles, Volume I It has lots of info about strumming, rhythm reading and techniques like open-chord changes, staccato strums, bar-chords, plenty of familiar sounding chord progression examples and a play-along CD to help you on your way. Check it out !
