Don’t know what kind of music you like but there are a ton of beginning/intermediate songs at laurenbateman.com

[Bugman]

Yes thank you I did check it out.

[PeterBeGood]

I found excellent quality of software online for guitar popular songs at http://www.JerrysGuitarBar.com with full range from beginners to experienced players.

Cheers

Hey @Bugman , try this: https://app.searchie.io/hub/254V7grV3m/

I really think Tony made a mistake by taking the Song Vault off. It’s still on the internet. Here’s a link, maybe it will help you out. You might have to copy and paste it to your internet.

[Mrfredsporty]

absolutely a GREAT SUGGESTION! I am using it daily now and find it very helpful

[Cadgirl]

@Mrfredsporty , glad you like it.

[Al.E]

I agree with you on that! There is not longer the sheet music to follow or download.

[Cadgirl]

@AI.E , There were a lot of changes that were made at the time of revamping the site. I am glad that I saved the location of the ‘Song Vault’.

[DeniseMW]

I agree. Jam clubs and the song vault were two of the features that drew me to TAC and made me wonder if I wanted to continue.

[Kim-Fitz]

These are the sites I often use. GuitarZero2Hero, Song Notes by David Pots, Guitar at Work, Jerry’s guitar Bar.

[That_Guy]

I most use tutorials on youtube. Almost every song you can think of is on there

[Mrfredsporty]

me too

Help needed please!

Tony mentioned in the 4 steps to playing guitar and singing. About going to google and searching for your favorite song. To download chord/lyrics. Well I’m having a very hard time finding anything to download (pdf) without having to join or pay a fee. Does anyone here have a website they use to do what Tony is talking about. Sounded pretty easy but so far nothing comes up without having to pay or join a mo. payment plan. Any and all help is much appreciated.

TIA

Rodney

Hi @outdoorgator , try having a look at Ultimate Guitar Tabs: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/

You can search for the song or artist and you will typically find what you are looking for.

Many times there are a number of different tabs and chord sheets people have submitted. I usually look for the most popular one and use it.

Have fun!

I’m just starting to learn some songs (I am still very much a beginner).

I really love the YT channel Song Notes by David Pots. He has great visuals in his videos and breaks down the skills for each song in a fantastic way. His videos are free and you have the option to pay for the tabs if you want a PDF download. I just stick to the free videos. I’m currently working on the songs Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain, Clay Pigeons, and Blackbird https://www.youtube.com/@songnotes

I also enjoy Good Guitarist on YT. He has a scrolling tab in his YT videos and breaks down the songs into very simple steps. He also pauses and shows you how to build strumming patterns from the most simple Down to a DUDUUD style strum. He has lots of beginner songs & some fun holiday specific ones. https://www.youtube.com/@Good_Guitarist/about

Justin Guitar has some great songs and the videos are almost like a streaming guitar hero style lesson. His Grade 1 songs are great. I’m working on Three Little Birds. His website is free for the beginner courses and you can pay for access to a phone app with more songs. I don’t use the app, just the free site. https://www.justinguitar.com/songs?f=beginner_grade_1

Justin Johnson’s (another Justin) songs are too complicated for me (his are really advanced), but he has an excellent beginner Fingerstyle video. I did the 15 min practice every day after my TAC Challenge for one month and it really improved my fingerstyle which has helped for the song Clay Pigeons that I’m learning on David Pots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWSSS7tJ2wQ

I hope this helps!

Right before I opened my laptop to start my challenge I was humming, Blue eyes crying in the rain! LOL 😮😜

I too will recommend SongNotes.net as a great source for learning songs. David P is an excellent teacher and his pdfs are very comprehensive and well designed (he is a web developer type by profession, I believe). Annual memberships are quite affordable and there is lots of material available as far as practice tips, licks, etc. You do have to buy the songsheets separately from another site due to copyright, but they are only a couple dollars each and easy to download and print.

I’ve been a member of his site for several years and have learned plenty of songs thanks to David. There are lots of places to get tabs and watch tutorials for free, but for guidance on strumming patterns, intro licks, and other nuances David is very helpful.
