Hi P!  Here is your lesson page.  In the video I go over the G, C, and D chords and the Pick-Strum groove we were working on.  Keep practicing! z

lesson 2

P-  Here is a video about how to tackle that elusive C chord!  These ideas can be used for just about any chord you're going to play.  Remember to move slowly!  Slow and right far beats out fast and wrong:). You're sounding great already, z

lesson 3

P-  In this video I talk about how to use the capo, keeping a light touch on the fingerboard, and how to practice making chords by starting with different fingers.  You're doing great, z

lesson 4

P- in this vid I go over the verse to "Walkin' After Midnight" and talk about the elusive F chord and making Barr chords from the low E string.  Lots of shit in there so don't hesitate to ask questions! z

lesson 5

P- in this video I go over how to construct Bar Chords.  There are two main shapes.  One shape has the bass note on the low E string (6th string), and one shape has the bass note on the A string (5th String).  Practice, practice, practice!  Remember not to squeeze too hard when you play them. z
