Self introduction
Dear all,
I am Sampat from Chennai. India, the proud winner of the T20 World Cup yesterday in Cricket. I am learning guitar on my own. Basically I am Finance guy but really interested in music. Guitar is a wonderful instrument.
I would like anyone of you to clarify what is idle tempo in the metronome to practice change of chords to get the smooth flow .
I am in touch with the instrument only for just 1 1/2 months but able to play little bit of barre chords also. But I find it difficult to change the chords with smooth flow as Kirk says
Kindly clarify.
When u can use the 7th , M7th, m7, m7th flatted 5, aug , dim and dim 7th when just the Primary chords covers entire 7 notes.
And another question. As I browse, everywhere Jimi Hendrix is considered the greatest guitarist even now. Though we have class of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Santana, Steve vai, Steve ray vangahn, Joe Satriani, George Harrison etc, what makes Jimi Hendrix special to top the list.
Kindly enlighten
With love
Sampat

Welcome. The lessons in the lesson forums about chord construction should answer most of your questions about chords.
Some consider Hendrix the greatest player while others consider him a leading pioneer in expanding the tones and techniques of guitar playing.
There are too many different tastes for guitarists to agree on only one best of the best.

Jimi gets designated the best because he died so young. That immortalizes you and the world never sees you grow old or suck. If you switched Clapton and Hendrix and had Clapton died at 29 (I think it was 29), he would be seen as the best.

Welcome, the best guitarist is the one you like the best, or the point can be argued forever.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
