This is a little game/homework that I used with my students when I was teaching at the school for music! It's very reminiscent of using flash cards when you were in grade school, it gives you the information you need, but keeps it fun! This will help with building chords or deciphering scale formulas too! Since the guitar is such a pattern based instrument, I find that its much easier to focus on numbers rather than letters. I can play a G note all over the neck, but there's far fewer places to find it's 9th! Know what I mean? Take your time and have fun with this one! -Ben

If you’re newer to guitar, or you’ve been playing for years but still can't play across your fretboard because you're missing the fundamentals... I want you to join me. My name is Mike! I am a newly advanced player/student here, looking to share the basics with anyone and everyone learning guitar! You'll find this new space in our "Classroom" section, at the top of the feed. Click in there and scroll until you see the thumbnail Titled: "Beginner Friendly" We’re going to start with the things that make guitar fun: open chords like G, C, D and Em, learning how to switch between them smoothly, developing your strumming and rhythm, and using those skills to start playing songs you actually love. And we're not learning to play them perfectly! Sometimes knowing a few chords and getting the feel of a song is enough to actually PLAY. From there, we can start building the skills that take you further. I will also provide a special roadmap to select players, who are dreaming of advancement, but can't seem to reach it... (you know who you are) I’m creating this as a place where you can share exactly where you’re at. Struggling to switch from G to D? Post it. Can’t get a strumming rhythm to feel right? Show me. We can work through it together. Whether you picked up a guitar six months ago - or - you share a similar story to me, and have been playing for 20+ years but still consider yourself a beginner on the fretboard, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Come learn the fundamentals, build your confidence, and most importantly, start enjoying your guitar in a whole new way! We'll see you here at Intermediate Guitar.
