Guitar Notes and Exercises

I've recently returned to the guitar more seriously. I want to play better for pop/rock songwriting and home recording. I've collected these exercises to help me improve and think beyond cowboy chords. These are my own notes and exercises, but maybe others will also find them useful.

There's loads of educational content online, but a lot of teaching is sabotaged by hustle. I promise this site will not:

• Try to sell you an ebook.
• Limit the number of exercises you can view per day.
• Interrupt your practice with pop-ups.
• Hide notation, exercises, or printouts behind a newsletter signup or Patreon paywall.
  • Though I might, in future, make new exercises available to members for a while before they become free for everybody.
