Teachers: Here is the Chord Packet with Teaching Strategies and Tips included:

Section 4 – Chords Teaching Strategies

Chord Packet – abbreviated form I use a lot – sometimes it’s easier to rad without tabs, and faster to write in the student’s book.

BELOW is all of the exercises in the above packet broken out into lesson plans, with tabs, rhythms, etc. Step by step for you to take them through the elements of the packet. Please read both the packets and the plans below so you see how it all fits together.

Take your student through these in order. May take a few months. Be sure to supplement with simple blues backing tracks to strum along with, or simple songs such as Eleanor Rigby, Knocking On Heaven’s Door, etc. See the Intro Level Songs List and Google Drive Folder for suggested songs.

***Please note: I have to go back and edit the metronome speed markings. 120 BMP is just the default setting in Guitar Pro. Use a moderate tempo with your students.***
