Moveable Chords Combined.

Before trying this factsheet look at the following 3 factsheets – Moveable chords in A, D and E.

In this factsheet you will look at combining the moveable chord shapes below to give a range of possibilities to any chord progression you may encounter.

This is particularly useful for songs which one or two chord progressions and repeat them over and over again.
