Notes:
- Songs in bold are personal favorites.
- Songs are arranged into groups, in order of difficulty.
(The intent is to create a reasonable teaching progression.) - In general, each successive group adds one new chord.
(Early groups add a couple of easy chords at a time, songs in later groups may have an extra chord that is used only in that song.) - Songs with links go to a version I created that has been revised for readability, to print on a single page, to show all chords, and/or to improve chord voicings (for better sound) or with different fingering (easier transitions).
