Chord Basics, Pt. III – Reading Chord Diagrams


Last month I discussed using one finger chords and quarter note strums as a simple way of introducing chords to students. However, before moving on to more complex chords (using two or more fingers) it is important for students to understand how to read a chord diagram. Moreover, it may be prudent to introduce to the idea of reading chord diagrams prior to learning one finger chords. 



Next month I’ll continue with “Chord Basics” and delve into having students playing two finger chords.
