As a Music Therapy Major, learning to play the acoustic guitar is an essential requirement. In the addition of practicing your principal instrument at a university, students must treat the guitar as their other principal instrument.

Sometimes, students need extra help with forming chords, learning to tune, and gaining confidence on the guitar.

This program is a quick and easy way for students to increase their abilities on guitar.

How is it affective in Music Therapy?

Music Therapy…continued In addition, many songs that we play have

difficult fingering patterns. By learning alternate fingerings for chords, it can make learning and memorizing songs much easier for a Music Therapist.

Learning Chords continued… On the bottom left hand

side there are three gray buttons. The first one will repeat the sound of the chord, the second will arpeggiate the chord, and the third will provide a tuner.

At the top, there is a up and down arrow, which will allow you to decide which chords you want to learn in that key. (Ex. All A chords in the Key of D Major)

More on Learning Chords If you want to hear what each string should

sound like once your fingers are set on the fretboard, you can click on each string individually and it will sound.

If it has an “X”, then you won’t hear anything. If it has an “O”, then you will hear the open

string.
