If you are a beginner/intermediate guitar student, here is a helpful article I wrote for understanding how to “voice” guitar chords using the CAGED system. In a short 15min practice you can quickly become more familiar with how one chord can have multiple shapes on the guitar neck.

No doubt you are busy. On top of a full day you have a passion to learn a new instrument. You may find the idea of sitting and studying for 30min entirely too daunting. Discouraged you are tempted to stop practicing all together. Do not fear. There is a powerful and productive way to think about practice in small, incremental steps. Visiting your instrument for as little as ten minutes a day can reinforce new material and create a ritual that becomes an integral part of your life.
First and foremost choose the instrument that you or your child is most passionate about. What do you visualize yourself playing? Does your child play air guitar or air piano when music is present? If you are unsure, then I recommend starting with the piano. It is an easy basis for launching a fundamental knowledge of music. It is physically easier to play than the guitar. By this I mean that getting a clear tone from the piano is fairly simple as opposed to the guitar, which can cause some younger students frustration. The piano is linear, visually a little more comprehensible and immediately more satisfying. This has been my experience in teaching.
Bravo to our fabulous performers: Imani, Michelle, Lauren, Maya, Reed, Sophia, Sudee, Tucker, Shelby, Jackson, Juliana, Lestle, Seoul, Jade and Morgan!

So where do you begin? How do you write a song? Here are some helpful tips in writing your first three chord song.
