Gain The Chords, Progressions, and Strumming Patterns You Need To Start Playing Math Rock & Midwest Emo in Standard Tuning

If you’ve got basic chords under your fingers, but math rock harmony feels confusing (what chords to use, how to move between them, and how to strum them so they actually sound like the style), this workshop is your clean starting point.


In this mini-course, you’ll:

✅ Master the core chord vocabulary used in math rock & Midwest emo (standard tuning).

✅ Get maximum coverage of the fretboard by learning each shape from the low E, A, and D strings (so there’s always a chord nearby).

✅ Build confidence with best fingering practices and guided exercises moving between shapes.

✅ Learn real chord progressions from songs (easy → difficult), then steal functional, diatonic progressions you can use in your own writing.

✅ Add strumming patterns used in the style across 4/4, 3/4, and 5/8 to spark song ideas fast.

I have been playing drums for 7 years and Math-rock has been my favorite genre to play and listen to for about 4 of those years. I picked up the guitar this summer and have been playing to tabs, but it was never enough. I wanted to understand this new instrument to the level I have with the drums. This course was perfect to finally getting started in creating and understanding how to translate ideas into my own music. This is an amazing guide that can teach math-rock, and even extend knowledge to all genres. Thank you for the new knowledge!
