Walking into chords
Posted on 9/3/16 at 8:19 pm

Is there a pattern or certain notes that I can learn to play inbetween chords? I'm not really sure how to ask the question. There are certain transitions that come easy with the "fill in" notes, and some I have no idea what note(s) to play going to the next chord.

You could probably find something on youtube

This is where basic scales really come in handy.

You could be talking about what are called "passing tones", or maybe a "walking bass line" played with the chords. Both would be hard to explain here, but if you do a little research on those two terms it might steer you in the right direction, and youtube is a good place to start.

I kind of do my own thing(sort of).
I play Chords but in between and during I pluck individual strings in the Chord which rings out.Gives it,filler,I guess.

This is what I was trying to ask. Is there some sort of rule or theory that needs to be applied to make sure you are playing the right 2-3 notes in between chords. Like I stated earlier some chord transitions are easier for me to fill in, some give me fits!!

I don't know Scales.I can't read Music.
I've been playing acoustic for 15 years.I'm self-taught.
Just fooling around with my guitar I found that,say you strum a G Chord.If you strum the individual strings right after that it fits together in sound.
Then strum a C Chord and then strum those strings individually,
You can go back and forth.
The strings in a "Chord" are all in that key.
You'll find what sounds good to you.

You can really play any series of notes that are in the key and sound good to you. What sounds good depends a lot on what chords you're going from and to. A common thing to do if you're going from say Em to C, you can walk a bass note down from E to D to C. All you're doing is filling in that gap from E to C.

I think I figured out a "General guidline" that made my question more clear.
A simple G C D song.
I would play the 3 or 4 notes that proceeds the next chord I'm going too. A# B C than strum C chord.?
I'm not sure if this is correct so any input to shed some light for me would be much appreciated.
