    This site has a huge list of chords for songs and gives some help on playing the song. Some of my saved chord pages:

    • I like Ultimate guitar too! I’m also a big “Stones Fan”. You will like the last lesson in the “Skill Building Course”. I’ve Got The Blues” by the Rolling Stones is the “Barre Chord” lesson assignment.

      Thanks for sharing the link so that others can check it out. Your lesson 2 badge is on they way! šŸ™‚

    • Nice, thanks for including this info. It is quite helpful

  • Nice Guitars Sparge! Congratulations on completing assignment 1! Your Badge has been assigned. On to lesson 2. šŸ™‚

      I use Ultimate Guitar app to fine chords of songs and I got some tuner from the app store.

      My two guitars. The electric was a gift and is nice. I bought the acoustic at a pawn shop 20 years ago.

    • A little Jimi Ray Gilmour?

      I want to post my comments regarding the lesson. Overall, the videos and learning videos were well suited for beginners. I am a different kind of learner. I do not read music. I can tune my guitar to match the sound of the song (mostly 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music) and able to play along. I learned to sing in a choir, both church and school Glee…Read more

      • I love the personal touch of your post. You have a gift that others would love to develop, I know I would. Your example of working on your music and sports at the same time reminds me of informal learning. Some call it a form of multitasking or learning through distractions. I do this when I’m practicing new chords while watching TV. I form the…Read more

      The basic parts to my guitar.

      Thanks for watching.

      • Nice basic description; I can show this to my elementary school students very quickly rather than telling them repeatedly what the parts are…..lol, they can watch you.

      Enjoy!

      I just had a Google Hangout with BizArt. Great conversation and information gathering from them. Enjoyed our talk!

      Check out this video>

      Hope it works. šŸ™‚

      • WoW!!! Macplyr that sounds GREAT! 🙂 Right Know you are in two groups, Beginners and Players. Iā€™m inspired by the fact that you can already play but have joined the community to learn more! 🙂

    • In 1.2 I would love to have seen how android devices worked with iRig specifically. I got the apple products were infused or implemented. Demos of every kind would be helpful

    • in lesson 1.4 I wanted to be sure of what was exactly asked regarding the recording our progress. Was there a request to make a video recording of all of the sample exercises? I could see choosing one to three of them as a wise option

      • If you post yourself sitting, holding and naming the parts of the guitar that get’s you your lesson badge. If you don’t have a YouTube Channel, send me the video and I will convert it to a link that you can add to your post. šŸ™‚

      • Hi Lamar, I had the same kind of questions. Just talked to BizArtMusic and they suggested that I post a video saying how much some of the resources have helped me. I know that a couple of the video resources were helpful. Hope this helped.

      I am loading my video for comments. Ok, tried to load my video, but had some issues. The media button did not recognize my video in mp4.

    • Hey. Just watched the videos for lesson 2. I downloaded the garage band, pro metronome and guitar tuna. They all seem to be adequate. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. But the videos included in the lesson were quite informative. I have realized that this will take a lot more commitment on my part, which I’m hoping to give it…Read more
