Hello everyone! Today for your pleasure, I have posted some common chords you should learn and memorize. Make sure your nails are cut and you using the tips of fingers. Your finger tips will become sore the more you practice, but that is OK. You want to build up the skin on your fingers so that it becomes hard. If you start to bleed, just stop and pick up the guitar again later that day. When switching from chord to chord, do it slowly. You will develop finger memory, which is where your fingers will learn to automatically go to the chord without you thinking about it. When you play correctly you want a clear sound to ring out. You don't want to get a 'dead' sound or a thud from one of the strings. If you do, one of your fingers might be blocking the strings. Play it again and make sure you are just using your finger tips and the fleshy part of your finger isn't blocking one of the strings. Some chords will be easier than others and you will find you favor some chords simply because they are easier to play. That is common, but you need to work on all of them because sooner or later you will need them all! I hope everyone has a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving and thank you for playing along with me.

I would like to say hello to everyone and welcome you to my lessons blog. I am very excited to have this site and to be able to share with you the many aspects of guitar playing. I will post things that I think might be of interest to you. Sometimes I will give tips or ideas, sometimes it will be up coming shows or recitals that either I or my students will be having and sometimes it will just be words of wisdom about music in general. If you have any ideas or suggestions just leave your thoughts in the comment section or if you would like to set up a lesson please feel free to give me a call. Thanks again everyone!
