Guitar class, online
Hello, Strum Together students! This site supports what we learn in class.
One can get lost with all of the guitar resources online. Our site is focused on what we learn in class. If you miss a class this site can help keep you on track. We are a “humming and strumming group!” These tools are here to help build the foundation of your guitar journey. We know learning and practicing can be a challenge. Let this site help and motivate you to keep playing!
Everything here is free. If you have a question, use the contact form to reach me. I'm happy to help.
Music is life! — Chris K (Instructor)

Chord Charts
The chords we use in class: A, Am, C, D, Dm, E, Em, F, G, A7 and B. Tap a chord to fill your screen with it, and learn how to read a chord chart.
Open chord charts →Song Trainer
Practice the chord changes for our class songs with a bouncing ball, then play along with a backing track. Start slow and work up to the speed of the record.
Open song trainer →1-4-5 Chord Change Trainer
Build speed on your chord changes. Pick a key (C, G, D, A, or E), start at 65 BPM, and follow the bouncing ball through the 1-4-5 progression. Step the tempo up as the changes get clean, then pick a song from the list for that key.
Launch trainer →Parts of the Guitar
Tap any part of an acoustic guitar, or an electric for comparison, to learn what it does. Plus the names of the six strings.
Open guitar parts →Handy tools
