Summary
Beginners Guitar Chords, Rhythms & Fingerpicking Exercises (2025 Edition) is a pdf guitar ebook for for beginners and advanced beginner guitarists that would like to improve their basic chords, strumming patterns, and develop some skills with picking and/or fingerpicking.
Background
I’ve been teaching guitar and drums for over 15 years and writing books for about 10 years now and this year I’ve managed to find a rhythm where I’m using my knowledge and experience to create books that help others with their teaching or learning and whilst also being useful for my own teaching. The process of writing exercises for the books is also enjoyable for me and is sometimes a chance to learn myself and research any gaps in my own knowledge to make sure the books are covering a wide and useful range of skills.
Direction
In this new guitar book, I have been wanting to develop new exercises for my beginners and advanced beginner students. The previous book ‘Guitar Chords and Rhythms Exercises – Beginners to Intermediate – 2022 Edition’ was well received, I had a lot of positive comments via email as well as a couple of good reviews, which inspired me to keep going and offer a fresh book with all new exercises, but along the same sort of lines and ability level. I decided to change the title to just ‘beginners’, because I felt that intermediate should cover some more complicated exercises, even though some early intermediate players could benefit from working on some of the exercises.
The sheets in this book could be used by a new beginner, especially if they are good/quick learners. I also have a ‘first’ beginners book called ‘Beginners Guitar Chords Book (Easy Reading)‘, that might be more suitable for new guitarists, especially if they are young.
The book is for learning alongside grade books, learning songs, and other exercises such as scales, and it’s not designed to be a full beginners course.
What does the book achieve?
By practicing common strumming patterns with fundamental chords in an easy to read layout, the learner should sail through the content and be in a much better position for playing songs.
The fingerpicking exercises could be left out completely, or you could come back to them at a later date if preferred, but if they are followed too then the learner will be forced to notice any errors in their finger positioning of the chords and to work on improving them. You might hear muted strings or unclear notes in the wrong places unless the chords are played correctly. This should hopefully encourage self analysis and adjustments in order to improve the chord sound quality.
