Guitar lessons podcast

OK, I am just checking this one out, but I found some free guitar lessons that are available via Podcast. Since I just got an MP3 player for Christmas (and haven’t even set it up yet), I am not really all that up to speed on podcasts - but I bet you can use these free guitar lessons even if you don’t do the podcast thing yet.

In any case, here is the link to these free guitar lessons: link to lessons

Now these free guitar lessons start at a REALLY basic level, such as the parts of the guitar, how to hold the guitar, etc.. I guess now that I am one learn into learning guitar I am not so much into this stuff (even though I sometimes forget where the nut is and where the saddle is - actually, I more forget which is which.)

In any case, this looks like a really cool “learning guitar” resource for beginners. And it isn’t all ultra-beginner stuff… it gets into strum patterns, chord transitions, and all that kind of stuff… so I recommend you take a look.

Guitar Chord Charts

So I went looking for Guitar chord charts today. This was spurred by me not knowing the B7 chord - yesterday I was looking up Christmas songs (in particular, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen chords). Turned out it was a simple song, but it had the B7 chord… which I didn’t know. Now I don’t have a chord chart… so I went running off to look it up online, and I found my favorite guitar chord site (more on that later.) But that didn’t quite do it for me, I decided that I needed to have a…

Guitar chord chart - how cool would it be to have a nice wall chart in my practice room. Or even better, a nice laminated chord chart that folded up and went into my guitar case. Of course, I have actually seen guitar chord computers out there, but I was more interested in a chart - something I could hold and look at. So I went looking for something that fit along these lines… and a free would be even better.

Here’s a series of free guitar chord charts at this link. However, it is spread out over a whole bunch of pages. A good start, but not exactly what I had in mind. Nevertheless, you could print this out and it should come out nice. Wouldn’t make much of a guitar chord poster though.

But take a look at this chord chart… this is starting to look a bit more like it.

That’s it for now… dinner time. But I will continue my search for the perfect guitar chord chart.

Christmas guitar chords

Filed under: — jeff @ 6:59 pm

Looking for - I got my guitar last Christmas, which means a lot of things… like I am coming up on my first year anniversary of playing guitar. It also means this is my first Christmas season with a guitar. So it has me thinking about playing some Christmas songs.

So I went looking for Christmas guitar chords just now. Of course, there are plenty of them out there… as I have mentioned before, I really don’t know how guitar players survived before the Internet. There are so many online sources of guitar tabs and chords, I still can’t believe it. However, this was a little different - I mean some of my favorite tab sites didn’t seem like they would be the perfect place to find Christmas tabs… so I searched around to find some other sources. And of course, I found them…

Here are a couple of interesting sites I found that are targetting Christmas guitar chords and tabs:

Tabworld’s Misc Christmast guitar chords

PJ’s Christmast songs

Wholenote Christmast guitar tabs

I am sure there are a bunch more… that is just a start. My daughter is working on “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” on piano - maybe I will be able to play along with here if I get working on the guitar chords.
