As we head toward the end of the school year. I wanted to collect some of the posts in one easy to find location. The skills and content in these posts are the basic skills and understanding for beginner guitarists. I will be listening to each of you to measure your progress toward attaining these benchmarks.
Open Position Chords
All of these chords should be memorized. You should be able to move between them at a moderate tempo both strumming and with finger style patterns.
Strumming Patterns
These are the basic strumming patterns we used throughout the class.
Single Note Reading
You should be able to play this melody, at a moderate tempo, with notes on the first two strings of the guitar.
Finger style patterns
You should be able to apply these finger style patterns to any chord progression using the open position chords (first link).
Sample chord progressions:
C-G-Em-D
G-B7-Em-C
C-A7-D-Em-G7-C
etc.
