Wednesday, June 1, 2011

It's been over a month since the post on Session 6 and that is more time than is suggested in the Lesson Book so let's move on! Session 7 is all about Barre Chords. Barre Chords seem to give many people trouble and are often a major hurdle to get over. Don't fear though, while they may take a little more time to conquer, you can do it!

Alright, I've given you more than an month to practice Session 5 and it's time to move on! Session 5 introduced you to simple chords - the basics.

Course Walk-Through: Session 6 – Minor 7th & Suspended

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

So it's been almost three weeks since Session 4 and we're ready to move on! Session 4 was a big session and if you don't feel ready, it's OK. I would recommend returning often to the exercises in Session 4 as they are great review exercises to continue to practice notes on all 6 strings. Session 5 will cover the basic set of open chords.

Course Walk-Through: Session 4 - Notes on the 5th & 6th Strings

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

Well, it's been just over 2 weeks since we posted the Session 2 Walk-Through. That is about the length it should take you to get a good handle on the notes on the first two strings and become proficient on the exercises. If you feel like you're not ready to move on, that's OK. Many people take longer than 2 weeks. If you've spent regular practice time on Session [...]

Course Walk-Through: Session 3 - Notes on the 3rd & 4th Strings

Sunday, January 16, 2011

Are you ready for Session 2? The first half of Session 2 is all about reading music. This topic is pretty big and could take a while to explain in a blog post so I am going to skip it for now and jump right to the notes on the first and second strings. If you aren't sure about moving on from Session 1, don't worry; as long as you've spent some time practicing e [...]
