Here is Lesson #4. Have fun putting together the puzzle, then answer the questions below.

Be sure to check out the past lessons you may have missed.

Here is the new online interactive lesson. This puzzle contains a paragraph that needs to be decoded. Some of the words are missing and in their place are musical symbols.

The student’s task is to look up the symbols and use their name to write out the sentences completely in the form below. All symbols can be found in our book FJH Everybody’s Guitar Method #1.

Hi Students,

Here is a chance to use your creative word skills.

It is very important to know/memorize the names of all six open strings on the guitar.

The string names from 6-1(thickest to thinnest) are:  E   A   D   G   B   E

Your task is to come up with a sentence where the first letter of each word is the name of an open string.

They must be in order!

You can start from the 6th string  E   A   D   G   B   E  or

you can start from the 1st string   E   B   G   D   A   E

One of the best so far by Adam: Even Angry Dogs Get Bacon Everyday.  Good job Adam!

Alright students…

…I  want you to watch the video below and then answer the questions.

Part of learning an instrument is seeing other play and making observations. You can comment on anything that strikes you about the performance.
