Essential Primer - Module 4 - Left Hand: Relax, Prepare, Play
How many simple chords can we plan on the treble 3 strings? C, Em, G, and more. Preparation by hovering over note is big help.

Essentials Primer - Module 3 - forever tips:
Change chords without strumming or playing. Know progression/sequence of chords in your song. “Counting is super important part of music.” Keep counting, beginning to end…stay in time.

Share with the youngster you know!
Can we reach youngsters who are interested in learning guitar? Guitar Chord Conquers gives young people an excellent chance to start learning guitar! So perhaps consider sharing this website with the young guys and gals you know! No matter where they are on their guitar adventure, Joshua makes all feel welcomed and glad to be enjoying his ‘class’. So think about sharing, so others, especially young people, can enjoy the pleasure of, as Josh says, ‘letting their fingers fly’! PS - Give the young the gift of learning guitar. They will thank you for a lifetime.

@Joshua Rogers - ‘Seize the day’, is an old saying that comes to mind. Another is ‘every person has their instrument’. And yes, ‘music is forever’. Piano, vocals, drums, and guitar! Perfect combination! They all meet at the intersection of sound, rhythms, self expression, and harmony! Thanks for sharing. I can testify to the truth of all these comments by older men and women. Thankfully, Guitar Chord Conquerors gives young and old - the seasoned, the new, and the returning guitar player, a chance to continue the adventure. 🎹 🎤 🥁 🎸
Coffee Hour with Larry
So it was only Larry and I at CH this morning and we had a blast. We chatted about NZ beaches, Scotland, data centres...and guitar of course. Some big takeaways: - try playing with your eyes closed (great for aural training and removing reliance on our eyesight or if you have a crook neck!) - bring out bass and melody - look for inventive ways to bring out melodies (one way is to know which picking finger is responsible at any given point for playing the melody note(s)) - tuning using natural harmonics - and probably some more stuff that I've forgotten Enjoy and we'll see more of you at the next one!

@Joshua Rogers Yes, even in the first module: 1) Tablature is as VALUABLE as a music score. BOTH have their place! (Learning to read music AND finger the guitar can be overwhelming at the start). 2) There are pros and cons for EVERY position of the thumb. 3) Pareto’s principle, for guitar, can VARY between 80/20 and 95/5.

Enjoy folk, classical. Play nylon string guitar. Especially appreciate Joshua’s ‘Note by Note Guitar’ lessons.
