Welcome to the Class!

This is the companion blog to my Free Guitar Class, a beginning guitar class for children, taught on a semi-ongoing basis at North Henry Baptist Church in Stockbridge, GA. You'll find what I hope is a clear and easy approach that will help anyone (even adults) learn basic guitar. If you need any help, please email me.

Start with the Contents on the left side of the page to get the lessons in proper order.

3:3 The Circle of 4ths & 5ths

If counting up and down frets is not your cup of tea, and you want to find the 4th, 5th and relative minors quickly, use this handy dandy chart.




Major chords are outside the circle in bold letters. Find the major chord for the 1 (the key in which you are playing) Move counter-clockwise one position to get the 4th, or clockwise for the 5th.

Minor chords are inside the circle. For each major chord, the relative minor is just inside the circle, connected by a line.

Cool, huh?
