I’m working on a new guitar course that should start coming out, Lord willing, in February. Am currently working on Lesson 4 of a 17 week course. It will teach you how to read notes on the guitar, plus music theory. It’s going to be geared towards the worshipper who wants to understand music and learn how they can easily transpose songs to any key and how chords and scales are constructed.
It’s been a project I’ve been thinking about for years. Will keep you posted when it’s ready to start rolling out. You may want to get on the list of those interested in the course to find out all the details and be notified when it’s ready.
I am almost 70 years old. I am trying to learn to play the guitar by myself, but I do not know how to combine the melody with the chords in order to sound nice. I can read music and play the melodies from fakebooks. Please, what us your advice?
God bless you

Vincente, it’s great that you can already read music on the guitar. We have two courses that include songs that combine the melodies and chords. I think they help you get some ideas. ‘Christmas Songs and Solos‘ are all instrumental Christmas Songs. Plus one of the lessons is posted free at the website. The other course that might help is ‘Mastering Finger Picking.’
