Beginner Guitar: Learn Chords & Play Songs in the Key of D

About this course

If you’re just starting out on guitar or dreaming of jamming around a campfire, this course is made for you! With over 50 super easy sing-along songs, you’ll be strumming in no time.Each song is played through so you can follow along, and there are handy chord-numbering boxes on the screen that let you pause, practice, and take it at your own pace.Songs that use the same chords are grouped together to make learning way easier—once you’ve got the hang of one, you’re halfway to playing the next!We don’t play full versions of every song—just a verse and chorus to get you going. You’ll need to look up the lyrics and structure online if you want to play the whole thing (but hey, that’s part of the fun).All the songs are in D Major, which is an awesome key for beginners because the chords are nice and simple. Plus, I’ll show you why it sounds so good and how to make the most of it.You’ll also get some cool tips on how to make your chord progressions sound more interesting—even if you're just using a few basic shapes.I use my own easy chord-numbering system to write out songs in a quick, shorthand way. It makes it super simple to remember stuff and helps you spot patterns in the music, so you’ll start to really get how songs are built.
