• A - D - E chord Practice

  • • I have used an app called “Justin Guitar by FourChords” with play along chords, strum patterns timing exercises and songs using visual chords scrolling along as the beat plays. It has songs chords changed in key (to A-D-E chords in my case) for beginners. I started using the app under trial Feb. 12, 2017 and continue to use it for A-D-E by practicing the song "Four Little Birds" at 54 to 86 bpm depending on how I feel. I continue to progress with the app, so paid for full access for a year.

• • I keep a more detailed study notes doc about what I am currently working on as well as goals to monitor and encourage me to continue my progress.

  • This page only has our recent progress. For past progress I also post monthly(or so) to our Acoustic Achord blog with highlights of our hobby history. Past success from this page will be found in the blog.

  • I have been working on playing the tune to Christian Dedication:

    • I am working on this song when I practice on the extra keyboard Jay L. brought over for us to use .

    • My Guitar progress: 52 Christian Dedication -- Tab sheet Our tab sheet for song 52. My tab sheet uses the simplified chords made available with the older music sheets(as #7), and will do so until the simplified chords made available for the new songbook. I am currently concentrating on learning the chords A-D-E through playing the song 'Four little Birds'

  • My Piano progress: I am currently concentrating on learning the piano via an online Piano Video Lessons(PVL) course taught by his piano teacher, Lisa.

My Eventual Goals

• • Get A-D-E down so I can play some easy songs to build confidence. Use the A-D-E shapes with a our c2b classical shubb brass capo (Solid unplated brass for natural patina) to play music in original key.

  • 7 Christian Dedication.pdf - Original music sheet with simplified chords made available for musicians for the previous song book "Sing to Jehovah".

  • Concentrate on learning the chords for song 52 ‘Christian Dedication’

  • 55 Life Without End-At Last! -- Tab sheet Eventual goal song. I have not started to work on this song.

  • Work on various strum patterns

  • Greensleeves - A tune both of us like: l wrote my own lyrics to make it a song about Kathy.

  • Other instruments: Various flutes, Pan pipes in new system. I love the airy sound of the flutes. ͡° ͜໒ ͡° 𝄢

  • Piano - See success under: Other Instruments

Retired Methods

• • A - D - E chord Practice

    • JustinGuitar.com uses the anchored index finger A-D-E method, I liked Justin's A-D-E video, I learned the very useful one minute chord changes and started a daily practice routine with it on Feb 1, 2017 and progressed to 20 chord changes per min in two weeks.

  • Chords from Guitar Tuna mini games A, D, E, Dm, Am, F, G, Em, C (Great for when I did not have a guitar yet)

Future Skills we both want to learn

• Kingdom Melodies

  • 7 Christian Dedication.pdf copy of Simplified chords of the now updated as song 52. I will update this when the simplified chords are released for the new songbook "Sing Out Joyfully" to Jehovah. The song is the same other than the simplified chords and one lyric change.

  • 55 Life Without End-At Last! -- Tab sheet

• Working on various strum patterns

• Theocratic Music

• Various folk songs (Particularly our non-meeting theocratic folk songs)

• Greensleeves, a song we both like the music for other than the outdated lyrics, Paul change the lyrics to be a song to Kathy.

• Learning to play togather and with Friends.

• Due to time and brainpower most of our learning to play music will be in the new system.
