Barre Chord Basics

Learn all about barre chords and how they are played with this video tutorial. What exactly are barre chords and what makes them so interesting? They are simplistic chords that can be shifted anywhere up and down the neck while retaining the same shape. This allows you to hold the same shape with your hand while moving up and down the neck to play different chords. No need to change finger positions!

Take a Piano Sheet Music Break

I found a new piano site that I really like. Check out http://www.take-a-piano-sheet-music-break.com for a collection of great, free sheet music. I really like this site because it’s layout is clean and organized. It has a nice collection of classical, jazz and pop music, too.

I printed off the song “Only Hope” from the movie A Walk to Remember from this site. If you’d like your own copy, click on the above link. On the left side of the homepage, click “Free Popular” inside the black box. Scroll down to “Mandy Moore,” and you’ll see two versions of the song. The first one is simplified, but both versions are beautiful. They’re PDF files, so just save them to your computer, print off, and play!


Have fun looking around their site. You’ll find songs from Billy Joel, Coldplay, Phil Collins, Christina Aguilera, and many more. Happy playing!

*I added the link for the Take a Piano Sheet Music Break site to the right hand sidebar of this blog, so you can easily access it another time.
