Hi.  FYI,  I bought this a while back:  Alfred’s Basic Guitar Chord Chart @ $2.99.  It is avail thru various online shops like Amazon.   A single folded 8×11 cardstock. Hope this helps.

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

Thanks for this Strumming Dynamics Class, and for keeping it alive online.  I have watched is several times, and it is very very helpful.  A note, I used earphones to listen, and it made the palm stroke clearer.

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.

Right now working on “Last Christmas” – in E,  want to have this well learned in 7 days.

Will then move to a level 2 in E.

Jonathon, your course plans are great.

Thanks.

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 up.

Using the tips that Jonathon shared in the beginner course, I’m setting up time each day to practice, and trying not to get frustrated!

I plan to give myself plenty of time to learn more of the Christmas hymns in time for the season:

a) At least 2 in the classical style guitar.  Silent Night and Oh Holy Night.   I can’t sing and with this style the melody will be heard without my having to sing.

b) At least 5 in the chord style guitar, to be played as accompaniment.  I’m still working on the song list.

I have enjoyed reading each of your comments, and agree.

Neat Idea.  I also pause.  I’ll have to try that.

Thx.   Practicing just those two chords back and forth has helped.

Thank you.
