I have been jamming on the following 2 youtube videos one

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MULjBbYtC8&list=PLI5vxOjlURWA&index=5 in A minor
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQ7C7aoAW8&list=PLI5vxOjlURWA&index=6 in B minor

I did both for an hour or so each and I am not sure if its related to my taste in music but:

Number 1: looks much easier for me to play as far as rhythm etc. I also enjoy it more

Number 2: seems a bit more difficult-not sure whether it is because it is slow or whether its more bluesy and I usually dont listen to blues- it sounds more clumsy when i do stuff on it.

Number 1: Changes bertween chords seem much mroe natural when I do them ans it kinda flows better

Number 2: Changes are a bit more clumsy and sometimes it doesnt sound as good.

If you try lsitening to both thingss, do you think that the things im saying make sense?
Can it be related to my taste of music and my feeling towards blues?
Is it all in my head?

Also another question:
I am trying to make sense of lets say two A minor shapes and connect them- is my process kinda in the right direction- I play around the scale and try to do different things:

- play triads around it,

- just try to end my phrase on the next chord (not necessarily playing a triad)

- for example in Aminor scale I practice going up to A from G so i remember that its one whole step away etc

I am not following necessarily one route each time- i am experimenting while trying to learn the scale at the same time- is that helpful or i should focus on one thing first

Do you have Any other advice on how else i can practice would be helpful.

It’s called Chords of Awakening — a fantasy tower-defense game where your guitar is your weapon. You hear what the enemies play, figure it out by ear, and play it on the fretboard to attack them.

The goal is to build real musicianship without it feeling like you’re sitting down to do ear-training exercises. You just play the game, and the skills you’re trying to develop are built into the gameplay.

It’s in beta now if anyone wants to try it:

I’d love to hear what you think.

I found this song and love it! I’m going to have it as my wedding guests dance song but would love to be able to play it too.

I’m a bit of a noob

If anyone can help me out with knowing what the chords are that would be awesome, can’t find it anywhere.

I’ll figure out the strumming just need to know what they chords are.

Thank you!!!!!
