Progressions Made Simple

Know What to Play, Finger by Finger

Every song is easier to follow when the chords make sense. The chord library pairs each chord with a clear diagram so you can check where your fingers go before you start playing. Finger numbers show which fingers to use, while open-string and muted-string markers tell you which strings to let ring and which to avoid. When a song calls for a barre chord, the diagram shows how one finger holds down multiple strings. Look up an unfamiliar shape, practise it slowly, then return to the song with more confidence.
