SESSION 1 Bonus ResourcesSESSION 1 – Starting Off RightBonus ResourcesRESOURCESLearning the mechanics of playing an instrument is the mundanebut necessary precursor to a life filled with making music.Key ConceptsSkills Gained in this SessionParts of the GuitarNames of the StringsProper Right & Left Hand TechniqueThe C & G7 ChordMemorizing the Names of the StringsGaining Control & Accuracy of Finger MovementForming the C & G7 Chords CorrectlySession OverviewThe goal of this session is to introduce you to the instrument. Proper hand positions for bothhands are introduced. For the picking hand, proper holding of the pick and bracing your handwhen picking the strings are important concepts to grasp at this stage. For the fretting hand,make sure that your hand has some air space between the neck of the guitar and the palmof your fretting hand. Simple finger exercises are given in the lesson book and in the bonusresources to help build proper motor skill development as well as to toughen up the fingertips.These finger exercises should be done daily until they can be played at a moderate tempowithout hesitation. Even as you go on to newer material, these finger exercises are a great wayto warm up prior to practicing.The first two chords of C & G7 are introduced. Initially, forming the chords properly will take agreat deal of time and effort. The more the chords are played the quicker they will begin tobe formed. At these early stages it is fine for you to look at your hands while forming thechords. But, as chord familiarity increases, the chords should be formed without looking.Forming the chords without looking will help build the muscle memory needed for futuresessions.Tuning the guitar, whether by an electronic tuner or by ear, is a vital skill that should be doneprior to any playing. How to tune the guitar is covered in the 6 minute “Tuning Introduction” onthe Session 1 DVD and also on pg. 3 of the guidebook. It would be a wise idea to considerpurchasing an electronic tuner, string winder, guitar case, metronome, and music stand if youdon’t already have these items. These will greatly help you as you begin your rewardingjourney to learn the guitar.Steady, consistent practice in a relaxed learning environment will be vital to yourdevelopment. Soreness in the fingertips is to be expected and is usually short-lived. Initially,soreness in the fingers will require shorter times of practice, but as the fingers toughen up thelength of practice time can be increased. At least 15 minutes a day is the least amount of timeneeded for improvement. If possible, 30 minutes is ideal.Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar with Steve Krenz3This stage is aboutgetting your fingersto do what yourbrain is tellingthem to do.Consistent, dailyeffort on the fingerexercises will giveyou the controlyou’ll need.Be patient withyour learningprocess. Reallearning takestime.15-30 minutes ofpractice a day isideal.www.LearnandMaster.com/resources

SESSION 1 Bonus ResourcesTips for Successful LearningBe accurate with the finger exercises. Getting the correct finger movement can be very slow atfirst, but with faithful, daily attention accuracy and speed will quickly develop. When the hand, wrist or fingers start hurting, rest.Try again later. Endurance will graduallyimprove. Don’t get frustrated. Be patient with the learning process. Getting the proper motor skill control takes time andYour fingers are going to feel clumsy at first. Keep trying. They will get moreaccurate as your motor skills develop.consistent effort. Practice when the mind is relaxed and fresh. Consistent daily practice yields steady and gradualimprovement. Strum the proper number of strings for each chord. Use one smooth and controlleddownward strumming motion.You’re Ready to Move On You have memorized the names of the strings.You can play all of the finger exercises on pages 4-5 in your lesson book.Use asteady down and up picking motion with only minor hesitations between finger movements. You can form the C and G7 chords correctly. At this point, it is not as critical that you are able toplay them perfectly, just that you are able to form them correctly. It will take a while to get each string to sound out.The main focus at this stage is that your fingers are going to the right strings.Closing Thought – Establish a Routine of LearningIdeally, practice times should be a regular and planned part of your daily routine. Music learning is quicker,more enjoyable and more effective when the task of practicing is taken out of the realm of optional andextracurricular and put squarely into the realm of scheduled, daily and routine. If you wait for learning to beconvenient, it probably will never happen. When you do sit down to practice, make it focused. Twentyminutes of focused practice is worth an hour of sitting on your couch with your guitar in your hand playingaround on whatever comes to mind. Your practice time is time that you set aside just for you, your guitar andyour dream of playing music. Keep Learning!Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar with Steve Krenz4www.LearnandMaster.com/resources

SESSION 2 Bonus ResourcesSESSION 2 – Reading Music & Notes on the 1st & 2nd StringsBonus ResourcesRESOURCESLearning to play an instrument builds perseverance, creativity andpride in accomplishment – three traits everyone can benefit from.Key ConceptsSkills Gained in this SessionHow to Read MusicRhythms & RestsNotes on the 1st & 2nd StringsLearning How to Read Music NotationVisual Recognition of 1st & 2nd String NotesPhysical Playing of 1st & 2nd String NotesUsing Correct Note Values & RhythmSession OverviewIn this session, the key elements of music reading are introduced. The learning andmemorization of the note names for the lines and spaces of the music staff are a key pointin this session. The note names for lines are E, G, B, D & F and are easily memorized by thephrase Every Good Boy Does Fine. The note names for spaces are F, A, C and E andconveniently spell the word FACE. Rhythmically, the different types of notes and rests varyaccording to how many beats each is sustained.There are three notes introduced on the first or “E” string. There will be two tasks involved inplaying these notes that you will have to master. First is the task of note recognition whichanswers the question “What note is that?” Second is the task of playing which asks, “How do Iplay that note?” So, taking a moment to write in the notes before playing helps split up the twotasks making it easier to learn. You won’t always be writing in the notes but for now, at thisstage, it is helpful.With the addition of the 3 notes on the B string you will have to switch strings in your pickinghand. Make sure that you are bracing your picking hand pinky on the soundboard to givethe hand the stability it needs to be accurate when plucking the correct string. Again, youwon’t always need to brace in this way, but for now it is going to be helpful. There will beoccasional times where you are trying to hit one string and accidentally hit the other. Thisoccasional misfire is completely normal. Your accuracy in picking will gradually improve overtime.As with the chords in the previous session, occasionally you will need to look at your hands inorder to finger the proper notes on the proper strings. While looking at your hands is fineinitially, pretty quickly you should be able to find the note without looking. Continuouslyglancing will eventually slow your progress down. Glance when you need to, but avoidglancing for every note.When learning the songs, write in the notes and try to play the notes at a slow even pace, thenplay the chords. The Jam-Along songs have 3 versions of each song: slow, medium and fast.Playing with the Jam-Along CDs are a fun and helpful way to reinforce the skills learned inthe sessions.Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar with Steve Krenz10Memorize the notenames on themusic staff.LINESE-G-B-D-FSPACESF-A-C-ETake a minute towrite in the namesof the notes.It will help you atthis stage.Misfires in pickingare normal.

SESSION 2 Bonus ResourcesTips for Successful Learning Keep Doing the 1st Session Finger Exercises. Gaining motor skill control is still a priority.So,every day before practicing the new material, warm up by playing through the first session finger exercises.Accuracy and speed should steadily be improving. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition. Brace Your Picking Hand.Developing good muscle memory involves repetition. Everyexercise and song should be played every day. Repetition will build speed and accuracy which is vital as morenotes are added.Bracing gives the hand the stability it needs to find the correct string whenpicking. Be Patient with the Learning Process. Getting the proper motor skill control takes time andconsistent effort. Try Not to Look at Your Hands.There is a normal tendency at this stage to develop a habit ofglancing at either hand before playing a note. Try to find and play the notes while keeping your eyes on the music.You might think that this is impossible, but generally you’ll find that you are more accurate than you might havethought. You might miss a few occasionally, but your accuracy will get better in time.You’re Ready to Move On All of the First & Second String exercises (pages 9-13 in lesson book) can beplayed without hesitation at 65 bpm. The “More First & Second String” exercises can be played using the correctrhythms and resting the correct amount of beats needed. The notes to “Ode to Joy” and “Jingle Bells” can be played at 90 bpm. The chords to “Ode to Joy” and “Jingle Bells” can relatively consistently beplayed accurately and evenly without hesitation at 90 bpm.Closing Thought – Be Patient with Your Learning ProcessYou’re probably beginning to realize that learning to play guitar is going to take some time and effort. Don’t bein a rush to get through each session. Real learning takes time. Don’t worry about what others might besaying about how fast you should be progressing. Just close your practice room door and keep working. Bepatient with yourself and don’t be frustrated at your mistakes. Mistakes are part of the learning process. Learnto enjoy the journey you are on. You’re becoming a guitar player - one step at a time, one exercise at a time,one workshop at a time. Just keep climbing up the mountain and soon you will turn around and be surprisedat how far you have come.Keep up the great work!Gibson’s Learn & Master Guitar with Steve Krenz11www.LearnandMaster.com/resources
