Guitar - Gr. 5/6


To learn to play songs on the guitar when you are just beginning, one of the best things to do is to google something like "easy guitar songs", "beginner guitar songs" or "3 chord guitar songs".

Here are some resources to use as well:

Ultimate Guitar - enormous database of lyrics and chords of almost any song - be sure to pick the version that uses CHORDS, not TAB, and has a good **** rating with a high number.

Online guitar tuner - Use this online guitar tuner to tune up at home.

Interactive Fretboard - online fretboard to explore and learn chords. Good for both beginner and more experienced players.

Chord-C - excellent site that shows you different ways to play the same chord (this is called chord voicings). More advanced students can use this site to challenge themselves by learning different chord voicings.

E-Chords - another good database for song lyrics and chords.

Online Guitar Fretboard - notes ring out so you can hear multiple notes playing together. Good for studying chord formations and notes on the fretboard.

How To Hold A Guitar Pick - start out with good habits.
