Use these 3 simple chords to produce 100's of songs fast. Then, learn to play the same song in a different key by modulating the pattern to another key. This one-time guitar class will help guitar players who want to learn: - key shapes, - how to transition between key shapes, - how to translate key shapes into chords, and - create chord progressions in multiple tonalities. Chord progressions will be of the I-IV-V or V7 and a study of the major tonalities as detailed in the Circle of 5ths. Watch for the class recap where playlist partners will drop the best hits to apply the class discussion to in real songs of the popular music on guitar. Don't know that song, genre, or artist? Playlists are always updated and delivering new songs using known and familiar chord progressions specifically discussed in this I-IV-V guitar chord progression study class.

For over a decade, I have provided music instruction for PreK through high school across all types of instruments and ensembles. My students have gone on to successful careers with many of them performing in music. My skills of learning one instrument and being able to effectively transfer that understanding to many other instruments have served me well as a school music educator and earning a Master's of Music from the University of Tennessee for general, vocal, and instrumental education. I have been recognized in the music education industry for my innovative teaching and dedication to ensuring my students receive appropriate teaching methods that help them effectively and safely develop their potential. Thank you for making me part of your journey.Reviews
