Songs and Poetry for ESLGuitar SongsMany songs only need 3 chords to play them - back in the Rock and Roll era this was known as the '3chord trick'.So as soon as you have learnt 3 chord shapes, and can move your hand quickly from one to another,you can start playing songs.Some guitar music has a little diagram for each and every chord, just in case you forget.Here is a website that can help you with Beginner Guitar. (www.music-for-musicteachers.com/beginner-guitar.html)Guitar ChordsIf you find a song with guitar chords marked and you want to know how to play them,Chordie is a website that lists all of the chords ... but you really don't need ALL of them!(www.chordie.com/chords.php )Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow33
Songs and Poetry for ESLGetting Started on the GuitarAs with any instrument, there is so much to learn. If you are going to learn by yourself, where do youstart?Well, you have two hands, and they both have to work...Right HandYour right hand will be strumming, keeping the rhythm, and making your playing interesting. To startoff with, it is easy just to drag your right thumb across the strings, once for each beat. This is acalming, gentle style of playing.But kids really love it if you "mix it up" a bit too! Experiment with what your right hand can do, usingall of your fingers and fingernails, and develop some nice rhythms. Some rhythms need to have fourbeats, some three, and some two. Try imitating rhythms you have heard in your favourite music ...and develop your own style. This is something that may take some time - chill with your guitar onyour lap and just try different things.Left HandYour left hand creates the harmonious chords, so you need to practice forming each chord shapeaccurately, and changing crisply between chords.When your fingers are placed (just behind each metal 'fret') in position, they must press hardenough so that as you pluck each string individually you can hear a clear note without 'jangle'!Ruth Wickham, Brighton Education Training Fellow34
