Here is a fun backing track for your endless-jamming pleasure. It is a rock shuffle jam in the key of A.

The chord progression is: |A - - - | G/A - - - |D/A - - - |A - - -| .  The way to read ‘G/A’ is ‘G over A’ and means a G chord is played with an A bass note. Essentially the bass rides or ‘pedals’ an A note the entire progression as the chords change over it.

In an upcoming lesson I will revisit this progression and show how to use different triad shapes in your rhythm guitar work. Have fun!
