The following are links to PDF Worksheets we have used from time to time. These had been created to complement being with people in person, though by sharing them here, maybe they too can be of assistance to others who are starting out on guitar, or or who are studying some basics with music theory.
• Music Notation - Describes the
many types
of notation used for guitar playing.
• Guitar Chords - An intro to
major,
minor, and seventh chords.
• Tuning & Fingers - These
charts
are for showing basic notes for tuning a guitar, and for showing how
certain
fingers are used at certain frets for some beginning chords.
• Chord Pairs - This chart of
chords pairs
is offered as starting point for learning how to switch back and forth
between two chords - which can be a challenge for beginners. (See "Chord Pairs" Post for additional information.)
• Chords and Keys - Chart for
showing
the basic major, minor, and dominant seventh chords for the keys of C,
G, D, A, and E.
• Major Scales and Chords

D, and A. The accompanying chords are also shown for each.

major scale, and scale patterns on the fretboard.
• Bass Notes - The major scale,

Hopefully some will find these worksheets helpful -
either
as tools for learning the guitar or for expanding an understanding of
music
theory.
