Guitarists are notoriously bad readers, or, in most cases, can’t read at all. It’s just not the way most guitar players learn to play. Because of this, guitar players are usually intimidated by the very idea of reading. Reading a chord chart is the minimal reading skill any musician should have and it’s well within your reach, even if you have never tried to read.

A chord chart is a basic roadmap of a song that musicians can use to quickly learn and perform a song correctly. It is a minimal representation of a song that usually fits on one or two pages. It usually has these components:

Title
Style
Key signature
Time signature
Form
Chord changes
Any rhythm figures played by the whole band
Any signature bass, guitar, or keyboard riffs

In this course, we will start at the very beginning and walk through the entire process of learning to read chord charts. Even if you cannot read music, knowing how to read chord charts will help you a lot as a guitar player.

Although chord charts can seem a little intimidating at first, they really are no big deal once you understand how to use them. In fact, by learning to read chord charts, you will find that you can learn songs faster, and your band rehearsals can be much more efficient.
