20 Easy Strumming Song for Guitar
Imagine that you could stand up in front of an audience 7 days from now and keep thementhralled as you produce 'well known' song after song after song.Imagine the smiles and raised eyebrows as they glance around at each other with that'I never knew you could play like this' look on their faces.I bet you're thinking "'Yeah Mike' but I've been trying for years/months/weeks(tick whichever applies) and haven't managed to get a repertoire like that".Or maybe you're just starting out and wondering how you go from where you are now(sore fingers and wondering if you'll ever make any real music) to someone who can put on a competent and enjoyable performance.Well if you’ve tried to do it using Tabs that you've downloaded, or Song Books that wereprinted 30 years ago, or e-Books and DVD’s that you bought off eBay then I'm not surprised if you think it can't be done . . But I've got to tell you It CAN be done.
First Things First....I fully accept that we're not allgoing to be the next CLAPTON OR HENDRIX!
Most of us accept that we’re not going to be the next Hendrix or Clapton. In fact wenever wanted to be. We just wanted to be able to play a bit. To be able to wanderover to our guitar, pick it up and do a passable version of some piece that ourfriends and family would recognize.
We didn’t want to spend the next five years mastering every pentatonic scale everinvented and we didn’t really want to spend an age learning musical theory.Are We Agreed On That?
Now That We Know What You DON'T Want . .Let's Have A Look At What You DO Want.
I was just thinking back to when I first started playing guitar. I’d probably reached the stagethat maybe you’re at now. Where you’ve been playing for a while, a few weeks or maybea few months OR MAYBE even a few years and when you look at what you can actuallyplay it doesn’t amount very much.
A few chords maybe? A few snippets of popular pieces but nothing that really amountsto what we’d call a repertoire.
It’s REALLY frustrating isn’t it?
To have learned a bunch of chords but not be able to string them together into some music? Well that was why I came up with these ‘strumming only’ repertoire sets.
What I’ve done is taken the most popular songs that I could think of, and there’s a good mix, some old (some very old ;0) and some fairly (well to me anyway) and I’ve put together a package of learning tools for each song.
Still Wondering What's So SpecialAbout This Package?
