Sometimes a person can study the same subject either on their own, or with an instructor and their material; but the same thing can be explained differently and that is what can make the difference in understanding. Thank you for taking the time to simplify the mysterious! It’s much appreciated!

Jonathan replied to the topic Master chord sheet request. in the forum Questions & Struggles 7 years, 9 months ago
Hey Cheryl, that’s a great question. This is something I’ve actually had on my list of things to create. But I haven’t been able to get around to it yet, though it is coming.
In the meantime, you could google “most popular chords on guitar” or something like that, and you should be able to find something relatively useful:)

Do you have a recommendation for a chord master sheet? Something that I could print out and put on my music stand? You have one for your chord families, which is wonderful for reference. I was hoping for a similar sheet with the 25-50 most commonly used chords on guitar. Please let me know where I may look (a book, publication, or a web page). Thank you in advance.

My purpose in taking the Simplified Guitar course is to become a good guitar player for family, church and other group gatherings. I have played the accordion and some piano, have had the guitar for many years and knew a few chords here and there, never spent the dedicated time. So my plan is to spend the time and follow the course to become a good guitar player. I am really enjoying my…Read More

We are going to be starting a new series on “Developing An Ear For Music”. Part 1 will be “Interval Recognition” where I will teach you how to recognize the space between notes, so you can begin to decipher notes just by hearing them.
The class will be Wednesday, August 1st 2018, at 12pm central time.
I hope to see you there!

Jonathan replied to the topic Live Class 7-27-18 | How To Get Strength & Flexibility In Your Fingers in the forum Live Classes 7 years, 10 months ago
Hey Kristy, yes, I would imagine that would work, similar to stretching your legs, where you can push them to force them to the limit, obviously not over or it could cause damage. But if you found that it has been helpful, then that is awesome. Hopefully others can use it as well. Thanks for sharing.
Peg, you are welcome. I’m glad to have been able to provide the content for you. Enjoy!

Thank you for posting Jonathan. I have these stretches that have helped a great deal. I put my finger in a curled position like if playing F#m or Bsus and stretch them out with my other hand. And then I stretch my fingers out straight and stretch my forefinger from my ring finger as far as I can without hurting myself and it has helped. Your thoughts??

Hey everyone. We had some technical difficulties with this live class, and the audio/video was very bad, so much so that I couldn’t use the replay. So I created a new recording going over the material that I wanted to cover. You can watch it below. Again, I apologize to those of you who tried to attend, I’ve gotten the issue solved for next week’s class.

Jonathan replied to the topic Finger Slipping..? in the forum Questions & Struggles 7 years, 10 months ago
Hey Angela, could you describe the issue a bit more? Are your fingers slipping down towards the body of the guitar or up towards the head of the guitar? Are they slipping off of the strings or just to another fret? Is it for a particular chord?
If you want, you could also record a quick video demonstrating the problem for the Private Facebook Group, and that would help me know exactly…Read More

I just started lesson 1 and I’m noticing that my fingers tend to slip down the string when placing them in postion. Does anyone else have that issue or is that just me? …. Is my fingers just too sweaty and not used to it yet? LOL 🙂
