🎸 Save & Organize Your Favorite Lessons [New Feature]
|
YOU ASKED, I LISTENED! ​Click to view "My Favorites"​ At long last! You can finally save & organize your favorite lessons over on my Song Notes website. This is a feature that's been regularly requested by members over the years, and I'm pumped to announce it's ready! HOW IT WORKS From any lesson page, click the Add to My Favorites link. For your convenience, it's always positioned just below the lesson title. That will immediately add it to your Favorites list. You can keep on learning the song — but if you wish, I added a handy link to take you directly to your favorites page: And from there, you are free to organize your favorites into custom collections. Use as many (or few) as you wish! Rename them, reorder them, or delete them if you got a bit too click-happy (it happens). It's as simple as that! I've also added a My Favorites link into the main navigation bar – so from any page, it's all one click away: GO HAVE SOME FUN! Try it for yourself at https://songnotes.net/favorites​ This feature is available to members of Song Notes Premium. To view all other membership benefits, see my video tour. A FEW MORE NOTES I realize this isn't a world-changing feature. Bookmarks in your browser will do the job. Tons of other guitar sites have this same feature. All that is true, obviously. Just the same: my songnotes.net website is a passion-project of mine, where I've posted over 600+ weekly-ish lessons, along with nearly 100 course videos over the past decade. I plan on keeping at it as long as I can. Features like this are incredibly important when it comes to ensuring my website is properly expanding in its feature-set, especially as my library grows. THANKS TO ALL WHO REQUESTED THIS Special thanks to all the members on my Song Notes website... especially to the many of you who requested this feature over the last few years. I truly hope this makes your guitar-playing time more productive. It took me a while, but I finally got it done. If you have feedback, let me know! I'll no doubt expand & improve this feature over time. But you have to start somewhere, and I'm proud of this as a first version. Thanks, as always — and enjoy! David |

LESSON #616Refine Your Rhythm & Never Lose the Beat! Click to watch free video lesson » If you asked me to give you one strumming lesson that’ll make the most difference your playing, it’s this one. It’s an exercise I put together over the years during my own practice – and finally I’ve made a proper lesson showing you how to do it. I’m calling it the pyramid drill – which seems fitting because of the ascend-then-descend structure, similar to what you find in many workout routines. This drill...
LESSON #614A Guitarist's Guide to Piano Man Click to watch free video lesson In today’s lesson I’ll teach you a guitar arrangement of Piano Man, the 1973 classic from Billy Joel. This song uses a singular chord progression for most of the song (intro, verse, chorus) — which I’ll walk you through step by step. I’ll also include a handful of practical ways to simplify some of the trickier chords, as translating piano chords to a guitar isn’t always straightforward. To the many of you who...
Happy Monday, my friends! To those of you impacted by the winter storm across the USA, I hope you're holding up okay. Here in Austin, we had a blanket of ice descend across our yard & street. The kids enjoyed a snow day off school, and my routine has been a bit up-ended... but we're in good spirits! Today I want to showcase some helpful practice tips from my lesson library, in addition to some new Q&A videos I posted in the Song Notes members forum. Let's dive on in! IN CASE YOU MISSED...
