A beginner guitar player needs to learn certain chords and also what chords are commonly used together. Then, you are ready to play your favorite songs!
Chord Confidence Part 1 - Guitar Chords for Beginner was specifically created for the person who is just beginning, OR someone who has already learned a few chords, OR the person who has 'leveled off' - maeaning that they aren't quite sure what to do next and find themselves in a rut (a"stalled musician").
Using my GIANT GUITAR (so you can clearly see the chords to learn) I teach in a very practical way. I provide explanation of how minor chords and major chords have a 1 to 1 connection. By the time you complete the course, you will have learned 12 chords in all. I also show you how, with only 3 chords, songs make "progress" (we call this "song progression").
What has taken me more than 3 decades to learn, I have distilled into easy to digest lessons . I show you how to avoid excessive "memory" playing - by teaching you PATTERNS, CONNECTIONS, and ASSOCIATIONS- the very important secrets of "effortless" guitar playing. [If you have ever used a computer whose memory was almost full, it's frustrating, isn't it? If you begin with a wrong foundation, and get off on the wrong foot of playing only by memory, your guitar playing can be frustrating like that. You run the abysmal risk of becoming a 'stalled musician' - and maybe quitting altogether - missing out on one of the most rewarding past times - or professions - enjoyed by many, many who have learned to play with competence].

I come from a very musical family; I am a drummer, an acoustic and electric guitar player, as well as a bass and keyboard player. At age 22, I had the opportunity to go on the road with the christian band Wisdom. I did mostly backing vocals with the band, but also sang some small lead vocal parts.
During an audition with Star Song Records (Newsboys, Matt Redman, Nicole Nordeman, etc) - a simple brief comment made by one of the execs changed my life (more about that on my website). Because of what he said, I realized the importance of the worship relationship.
The first time I led worship, I was so nervous, that I led the team into a song that I didn't know the words to. It's not easy to lead worship, and to learn the ins and outs, and ups and downs involved with it - as well as the spiritual warfare associated with it.
While on the road, Wisdom traveled to many states in this great nation. (During our 3 years of touring – we played on the same stage as Bob Carlisle - ["Butterfly Kisses"] and Mylon LeFevre - both Grammy award winners - as well as Dove award winners). On multiple occasions I have done studio work, and have also recorded two solo projects (I include my original music to intro - or exit different Udemy modules).
In 2014, God answered a prayer that I had - The 'Ascribe Worship' Method was birthed - it is the ability to worship for 8 - 10 minutes (or more) in a fluid, God descriptive way, with or without music (of course, music is a beautiful gift to worship with).
I live in Louisiana Cajun County with my precious and beautiful wife, Maria, and our three dogs, and am the father of 3 beautiful children.
