Summary: Introduces the low E string, left hand notation, and sharp and natural notes.

Please see Guitar Lesson 1 for notes about this course. Here are PDF files of the Lesson Page, the Home Practice Page, Song Sheet 3, and Ensemble Page for Lesson 6. If you cannot get the PDF files, you can use the figures below.

For students who are interested in accompaniment, this is a good time to add a song to their home practice that can be played using A and E7 chords (I-V7). Besides the pieces on the First Chord Song pages, other possibilities include: "Clementine", "Polly Wolly Doodle", "Skip to my Lou", and "Down in the Valley".

Students who are enjoying reading common notation, and anxious to learn particular tunes, should at this point be able to work from any book designed for beginning guitarists. Music designed for beginners in other instruments may also be useful. Students who need extra practice, in order to solidify their reading skills, should also be encouraged to pick up an extra songbook for beginners, and work at these lessons at a slower pace while building confidence working on easy songs.
