This course is intended to teach the beginning guitar student how to make chord changes while keeping a steady beat. I've been developing it since 1982 and it graduates through a series of songs and chord exercises in a smooth, progressive manner.

Left click on a song title to begin playing or downloading each song. Click on "chart" to download a chord chart for each song. All charts are in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format and may be viewed or printed using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Introduction, how to read the charts, tuning guide.
