Hear what a clear chord sounds like.

That first clean chord feels good. Hear each string, then try it on your guitar. Compare the sounds as you move your fingers. These are the building blocks for the songs you want to play.

“As an adult beginner, I struggled trying to learn with online instruction. I’ve made more progress in a few months with Zach than I did during the entire time I spent on my own.”

Keep the beat as you change chords.

Start the metronome (a steady click). Move the slider to a speed that feels right.

Metronome

4/4 · Steady strums

Speed (BPM = beats each minute) 60 BPM

Move the slider to find a pace you like.

Try it here. Use it with your guitar when you join.

Make your chords start to sound like music.

A song feels better when the beat keeps going. Work at a slow pace, then speed up as your chord changes get easier. In the app, use the click with the chords you want to learn.

To learn a chord, you need to see where your fingers go and hear how it sounds. I built these tools to help you practice at home.
