Week 2:

• Continue practicing fingerpicking and strumming chords. Try to increase the speed and fluidity of your transitions between chords.
• Practice playing melodies on one string using single notes. Start with simple melodies and gradually increase the difficulty as you get more comfortable.
• Begin learning how to read guitar tab (a form of musical notation for guitar). This will allow you to play songs that you can't find chord sheets for.
• Practice playing songs using both chords and single notes.
