Hello. I would like to play the Christian Easter song “Christ the Lord is Risen Today”. I found chords – Key of G – on utube, but it is too high. I used the cheat sheet to transpose to E, not using a capo. I’d appreciate any feedback on whether it makes sense. It sounds ok, except for the B. See my note.
Song chords on utube: G, C, EM, D, A, D/F#
Transposed to E family:…Read More

Hi. Happy New Year. Thanks for all of your help. One of the Advanced Songs in the Song Library is in the key of Dmaj7. Looks like this includes bar chords. But looking at your finger placement in the video, looks like maybe you have alternate fingering for the bar chords? Also the strum is Pop. Can you help me with this. Thank you.

Thanks for this. You mentioned “over” chords, like a bridge C over B. I’m not sure how to determine the tabs for these or where could I go to find or confirm the tab for these types of chords. TX

My update: After having gone thru downsizing, transitioning parents and grandparents things to siblings and grandchildren, and then moving, I am back on board to practicing guitar. I am sticking with strum guitar, and plan to focus on the E chords so I can finally honestly complete the beginner course. I can play silent night and the first noel pretty well.

Just checking… Jon the lesson plan lists Driving pattern for the song Joy to the World. The Song Library uses Folk. You are recommending that we start out using the Driving pattern for the 7 day plan. Right?

Hi.
My Purpose – Related to guitar.
I too bought a lovely used acoustical strum guitar and I’d like to someday be able to use it in service, like at the nursing home, or to cheer a shut in, etc. I already owned a student classical guitar, but am a beginner.
My Plan.
I haven’t picked up the guitar in a couple months due to other unavoidable things. So I’ve got some catching u…Read More
