We will cover essential open chords like G, C, D, Em, and Am, explaining finger placement and proper hand positioning for optimal comfort and sound. We'll break down each chord slowly, ensuring you understand the finger patterns before moving on.

Developing Effective Strumming Techniques

Once you're comfortable with the basic chords, we'll explore various strumming patterns. We'll start with simple downstrokes and upstrokes, gradually progressing to more complex rhythms and patterns. We'll emphasize consistent timing and a relaxed wrist motion for a smooth and controlled strumming style.

Putting it Together: Simple Songs

Finally, we'll apply what you've learned by playing some simple songs using the chords and strumming patterns covered in the lesson. This practical application will help solidify your understanding and build your confidence.
