Today (after the quiz) I draw chord diagrams on the board for two chords: G and C. First we spell them G=GBD and C=CEG. Then we diagram them using finger numbers and a chord frame, then we play them. Beginners need only play the root (but with the correct finger) More advanced players in the class can play these voicings in other positions on the guitar.
Next, I pass out the chart to "Love Me Do" by the Beatles. The entire first half of the song can be played with these two chords. The diagrams on the board appear in the chart along with some new stuff- like music notation. Concepts covered in order to read the chart-Key signature, time signature, clef, barlines, measures, beats, repeat signs, first and second endings.
Armed with this knowledge, its time to practice to get ready for your first performance! Don't worry, you have a few classes to practice.
