How this fits you
Answer the six questions and this page gets marked up for the way you play. Start the questions
The chords
How to play it
The strum pattern
Short, chopped strums on the off-beats, with silence on the main beats. Ease off the fretting-hand pressure right after each chop so the chord stops ringing.
Make it easier
Play the chops on the top four strings only. It sounds tighter and lighter, closer to the record.
Teaches you the off-beat, which changes how you hear rhythm.

This site does one thing a teacher does: it picks the right song for you. It can't watch you play.

Learn with a teacher
A teacher hears what you can't: the strum that's rushing, the finger muting a string, the habit that will hold you back in six months. No website or app can do that part.
I'm Daniel, aka WCHIWA: a producer, composer and guitarist, and I've taught thousands of students. Bring any song you love and I'll arrange it to your level on the spot. No grade books, no fixed curriculum, and when you're ready, we record it in my studio. In London, Maidenhead and online.
