Important Beginner Guides
Songsheets
Believe it or not, beginner guitarists can play almost any song, but the secret is this: The song must be ‘arranged’ in such a way that a beginner can play it.
Standard chords are too hard for beginners to play, so we need to tweak the chord voicings to make them easier to play.
Of course, KNOWING which voicings to use is not something that a beginner guitarist would know! So that’s why I’ve taken the time to create these beginner songsheets for you. (These are popular songs, arranged in easy-to-play ways that make the minimum compromises in sound quality.)
