Hey Doug, if playing Amazing Grace in G is too high for you, you have a couple of options.

1. Tune your guitar down a half step or whole step.
Because you are playing the G without a capo on, the only way to get a lower pitch with changing the chords entirely is to down tune your guitar. A half step would be Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, and Eb, starting with your thickest string.
If that is still…Read More

I’m glad to hear it, Peg! And thanks, we had a great trip!

You’re welcome, Peg! I’m glad to know it’s been helpful for you!

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:)

Here is the replay from the live class:

Here are the links that I mentioned during the training:

Hey Doug, that’s a great goal you have in place. We are here to help make sure you reach it!

I’m excited to hear that you are making good progress. I hope I get to see a video recording of you playing some time. Good luck as you continue to practice, and make sure to let us know if you run into any problems.

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!

Hey Helene, yes, the replay to all live classes is available in the forums.

I’m glad to hear you are enjoying the challenge and making progress. Let me know if you have any trouble!

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.

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

Hey Brad, thanks for asking.

I’ve been playing around with learning the G scale.

Also, learning some new advanced songs that use chords I’ve never used before, like Frank Sinatra “The Way You Look Tonight”, and Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got A Friend In Me”, using the F#dim7 chord and some other funky sounding chords. I never thought those chords would ever be useful, but when put in the…Read More
