           My History With the Guitar -          

What I learned about guitar was from instruction        books  and trial and error.

My main discouragement was not being able to memorize the chord sequence for any song.  So even though I           greatly enjoyed accompanying myself with guitar              while singing, every song I played had to be done with a    song sheet in front of me containing lyrics and chord        symbols.                                                                          

It was either that, or I had to practice one song over   and over  till it drove me crazy. Even "memorizing" it this way was faulty, because if I wanted to perform  the song later, I would freeze up, forgetting what I had learned. 

Then I stumbled onto the concept of the chord                   progression and figured out how to use it.                      

Some years before this happened, I saw on the last     

page of an old chord book given to me by my wife's grandfather,  several columns of   chords under the title:   "CHORD PROGRESSIONS".

But there was no explanation as to what they were or      how they were to be used.                                                 

So on my own, I finally learned what a chord progression was and its value in helping me know WHAT chord to play and WHEN to play it for songs I knew or didn't     know.        

I will teach you to play rhythm guitar and show you the     chord progressions in the key of C.
