Submitted by Walt on Thursday, 2 October 200813 Comments

OK so here it is! Last week we learned the notes, this week we start building Chords A, D, and E in order to write Songs! Rip out that instrument, turn up the volume, skip dinner, and GET READY! It all starts here. Any music questions let me know!

There’s a Newsletter sent out every Friday, so subscribe to that over at the sidebar to the right, and also check out the Class Forum! 1.) Be passionate 2.) Be patient 3.) Do it EVERYDAY. You’ll get it, I PROMISE!

If your still confused then you can always check out the Video Lesson Archive – your question is probably answered there! if not, then let me know :)

The 3 chords that I discuss are the A Chord, D Chord, and E Chord. I also explain the Notes in Music and how their built up. As a result I pull out my Saxophone! What I try to explain to people is that Learning one instrument is like learning them all. tey all follow the same language, and rules. Obviously, the playing technique for them is differen, but all in all, it the same language.

So watch this and also at the 10 minute mark is a huge shout section that we all give. Using the power of Ustream.TV and Twitter I called my community over and recorded everyone at my Ustream.TV Music Show

This is my new show hosted on Revision3 Beta. Big ups to all the peeps who submitted the show to Digg. I now have the YOU Section all set up. So all the pictures, videos, and poems you send me I post there.

    Hi Walt,

    First off…you ROCK! Thanks so much for taking all the time to help the rest of us to learn music!

    Regarding your tutuorial on guitar tabs, I learned it a different way. I learned that on the tabs the numbers refer to what FRET you are supposed to put a finger on, not what finger you are supposed to use. For instance if there is a #3 on the B string that means you are supposed to hold down that string on fret #3. Some of the songs I have tabs for the numbers go up to 8, 10, or even 14 in some instances because those are the frets in which I am supposed to hold a certain string down.

    Any comments as to why your version of reading tabs is different?

    Thanks!!!
    Lisa

    OK, well reading Chord Diagrams and Reading TABS are two completely different things :)

    In just two lessons you have Tought me SO MUCH! YOU ROCK MAN

  • Lepchin said:

    Thank you so much man! I bought myself a squier guitar a few days back and I looked online for some lessons. And came across some pretty bad ones. :( But thankfully I came across you and things are making a TON more sense.

    For example, the lesson that I was taking on the other site didn’t really explain things that well and I thought you had to play the D chord on the Top strings E,A,and D. It was the same diagram you have too, so I was trying to reach for the top string with my ring finger and it kept muting A.

    Now I look back on that and just laugh. Thanks again!

  • Soc said:

    Yeah, maybe you should label this as “guitar lessons” or something. Yeah yeah I know music is universal, but still… Not much to get from this one for us sitting in front of a keyboard :)

    I love your effort though!

  • Shannon said:

    First and most importantly I’d like to let you know that you are inspiring me!! Also looking for an affirmation. I play guitar left handed so I’m assuming your lesson still applies but the notes are backwards??

  • Walt (author) said:

    Nope. It should be the same.
