What are some guitar chord patterns that sound good together?
guitarNrd362 asked:
I just wrote a song about a break up (The guy ends up being a jerk so the girl is leaving him). Any patterns for guitar that give that kind of sound? Thnx!

G, then put your pointer and middle down a string (I forget the chord name), D, Then open, fret 2, fret 2, open, fret 3, fret 3 (I think it was e minor or something, not sure). I would play down down up up down for strumming. I would do each chord one time with that pattern, maybe two times on D. CrappySleeper
Em - C - Am - D

Goodness me, some people’s answers are very technical without actually answering the question.
Most memorable songs, whether a haunting melody or a fast, bouncy melody generally use simple chord combinations. I have no idea what your skill level is, so to keep it basic, good combinations are:
Em, Am, G, C, D and not necessarily in that order. If you start at G, then a progression to Em, C and then D before going back to G. There are plenty of variations though and it depends on how good you are.
Progressions based on G are quite nice. Take the normal G chord and move the top 2 fingers down one string each and move the bottom finger up one string. Then keep the bottom finger on the 5th string and move thr top 2 fingers down again so they are holding down the 3rd and 4th strings and then play around with those chords a little, along with Em, Am and D
Take care and look forward
