In this practice-along, you\u2019ll combine everything you\u2019ve worked on so far to play an entire chord progression utilizing four different chords. The guitar chords you\u2019ll be playing are <strong>G major<\/strong>, <strong>E minor<\/strong>, <strong>C major<\/strong>, and <strong>D major<\/strong>. If you need to work on any of these chord transitions specifically, you can find those exercises here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part 1 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/easy-10-minute-guitar-workout\/\">How to Play G and Em<\/a><br>Part 2 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/easy-10-minute-guitar-workout-part-2\/\">How to Play Em and C<\/a><br>Part 3 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/easy-10-minute-guitar-workout-part-3\/\">How to Play C and D<\/a><br>Part 4 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/easy-10-minute-guitar-workout-part-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Play D and G<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is the grand finale, we\u2019ll be shaking up the format a little bit. Each section will be a little longer, and you\u2019ll start cycling through the chords right from the start. In the beginning, you\u2019ll stay on each chord for two bars (or eight beats). By the end of the workout, you\u2019ll be strumming on every beat and changing chords every four beats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Strum each chord and hold for <strong>2 Bars<\/strong> (<strong>8 beats<\/strong>)<\/li><li>Strum each chord and hold for <strong>1 Bar<\/strong> (<strong>4 Beats<\/strong>)<\/li><li>Strum every <strong>2 Beats<\/strong> and change chords every <strong>4 Beats<\/strong><\/li><li>Take a short break and stretch out your fingers<\/li><li>Strum every <strong>Beat<\/strong> and change chords every <strong>4 Beats<\/strong><\/li><li>Workout complete!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!
