Here's a backing track I made in Em

I put in a bass line and the chords are: I, VII, iv, v - Em, D, Am, Bm. The way I played the Chords are:
Em x79987 or xx9987
D - xx9787
Am - xx7558
Bm - xx97710 (10th fret on high E)

Towards the end my index finger got tired b/c I had to practice it a lot before hand so I couldn't do another take. Also I wanted to play it twice as fast and vary the timing for every other repitition.


If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.

The D chord tab doesn't work. It could be an Em7. A D chord near that location would have to be 5,7,7,7,5 or some combination of the 1,3,5 triad chord tones. That note at the 9th fret would be a 6 note in a D chord, the note on the 8th fret would be a 4 so that would make it a D6sus4 chord.

I made a mistake, its a G major chord, from the low string to the high strings I have: x x B D B G for notes. I made a major triad on the g, b, and high e strings, then added in a major third on the G string. Thank you for calling that to my attention.

Ok, so the chord progression is: i, III, iv, v or Em, G, Am, Bm
