C# Chord Progression in 6/8 Time

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

Like last week, we'll use a weeklong example to write a piece of a song. This time it's a nice 6/8 chord progression starting with a C#m chord. Remember, the time signature counts something like 1-2-3-4-2-3:

C#m
e|--4--4--4--4--4--4--|-----
B|--5--5--5--5--5--5--|-----
G|--6--6--6--6--6--6--|-----
D|--6--6--6--6--6--6--|-----
A|--4--4--4--4--4--4--|-----
E|--------------------|-----
