Chord Confidence 1: Beginner Guitar Chords (Major, Minor)

A beginner guitar player needs to learn certain chords and also what chords are commonly used together.   Then, you are ready to play your favorite songs!   

Chord Confidence Part 1 –  Guitar Chords for Beginner was specifically created for the person who is just beginning, OR someone who has already learned a few chords, OR the person who has ‘leveled off’ – maeaning that they aren’t quite sure what to do next and find themselves in a rut (a“stalled musician”).

Using my GIANT GUITAR (so you can clearly see the chords to learn) I teach in a very practical way.    I provide explanation of how minor chords and major chords have a 1 to 1 connection.  By the time you complete the course, you will have learned 12 chords in all.   I also show you how, with only 3 chords, songs make “progress” (we call this “song progression”).

What has taken me more than 3 decades to learn, I have distilled into easy to digest lessons .   I show you how to avoid excessive “memory” playing – by teaching you PATTERNS, CONNECTIONS, and ASSOCIATIONS–  the very important secrets of “effortless” guitar playing. [If you have ever used a computer whose memory was almost full, it’s frustrating, isn’t it?  If you begin with a wrong foundation, and get off on the wrong foot of playing only by memory, your guitar playing can be frustrating like that.  You run the abysmal risk of becoming a ‘stalled musician’ – and maybe quitting altogether – missing out on one of the most rewarding past times – or professions – enjoyed by many, many who have learned to play with competence].

Also included:

++tuning

++ strumming patterns

++tips to appropriately engage your memory, and learning tips

Keep it simple, but develop confidence in your understanding of music!
