Fretwren

You know the chords. Now change between them without stopping.

Six strings, low string at the bottom, the way chord charts show it. Touch one.

The spot where beginners stall

You can hold each chord and make it ring. Then the song says to move, you stop, look at your hand and lose the beat. It's the spot where many beginners put the guitar down. It doesn't mean you're bad at this. Nobody showed you how to practice the changes.

Who it's for: adults learning guitar in short sessions, on an acoustic or electric, who can already form a few chords and want to play a song all the way through. You don't need to read music.

What's inside

  • The four chords that fit a huge number of simple songs: G, D, Em and C

  • A day-by-day checklist for 14 days, 10 minutes each
  • What to do when your changes get slower instead of faster
  • How to go from slow, clean changes to a steady strum
