Guitar Class Progress Page

• First Class Session:


The A7 & D chords

Remember to practice about 15 minutes each day, pick a time of day
when you always have "free". Make that your time to practice.

You can print this music by doing a right click on the music image,
and then save it to your machine. From there you can print it.

Here is the music that we have for the first week:



Audio - Rejoice in the Lord





Audio - He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

• Second Class Session:


The A & G chords

Remember that when you are playing a piece of music,
if you don't know the chord then just wait until you
know a chord to begin again.

Here is the music for the second week:



Audio - Arky Arky

• Third Class Session:

of the above music! Have fun!

• Fifth Class Session:


Brenda really liked the following song, the new chords are Em7 & A7sus.
Be sure and watch out for that final A chord, play it only when
you are repeating the song.




Audio - Sanctuary




Here's a country/blue-grass type of song.
The C chord is the new kid on the block.

Play Do Lord lightly and quickly, with a down and up
motion, picking out the base and then treble strings.
Here is the new music:



Audio - Do Lord




• Sixth Class Session:


We have more, the Em, Am & D7 chords

Muff is pure funny satire based upon an old P, P & M song.
I gives you a chance to try out your ballad voice and
guitar chords. Try to keep a straight face!

• Here are some Rules of Thumb!      
  
  
• Practice about fifteen minutes each day, in five minute sessions
• When you practice, practice!    Don't think about other things.
• If your fingers become really sore or blistered, stop practicing until you heal!
• Use an emory board or rough surface and "file" your fingertips about ten seconds each day.
• Pick a time of day to practice in which you always have free. For instance, right before you go to bed each night.
• When you pick out a song to play, be sure to "make it your own" . . put all of yourself into it!
