Guitar chords are a dreaded topic for many guitar players. Both immediate beginners and more experienced players who’ve skipped music theory often struggle to memorize all the different chord patterns, mainly because it’s easy to misplace a note or two and play a completely different chord.
Let us introduce you to Card Chords – the simplest and most efficient guitar-learning tools specifically designed to make the chord-learning process a breeze.
Today, we’ll talk about how these tools can help beginner guitarists learn how to play guitar chords without spending hundreds of dollars on music school fees or private tutors, so let’s start from the top.
Card Chords – The Ultimate Tool For New Guitar Learners
Unlike regular tablatures, Card Chords are perforated card-shaped tabs that can be attached directly to the guitar. Purposefully designed to be sleek and thin, these tabs won’t get in your way as you’re playing – they’ll simply show you where to place your fingers so you can pull the chord off on your own.
Since Card Chords are meant to be placed on your guitar’s fretboard, you won’t have to rummage through various YouTube tutorials, tablature programs, and music books. With a glance at your Card Chords tab, you’ll have all the information you need to fret the chord you want and play it in just a few minutes.
Card Chords come in decks featuring all the basic chords. Since the majority of popular songs only feature 3-4 common chords, a deck of Card Chords is all you need to learn the chords of your favorite tunes.
Learn Faster and At Your Own Pace
Online music schools are gaining traction among beginner guitar players, mainly because they allow you to revisit lessons you may have missed, but you’ll often be “punished” for lagging behind since they charge subscriptions monthly.
With Card Chords, you won’t have to feel the pressure of needing to learn as fast as you can since buying a deck means that it will be yours forever. Moreover, what truly separates Card Chords from music schools (and every other guitar-learning tool for that matter) is that they’re specifically designed to enable the player to learn elementary guitar chords whenever they want in just a couple of minutes.
The Most Cost-Efficient Chord-Learning Tool Available
Music schools often put chords deeper down in their curriculums; online tutorials are usually a bit too vague while music instructors usually charge quite a lot.
If you don’t want to wait for months before your teacher decides you’re “ready” to learn how to play some chords and don’t feel great about spending a small fortune on private guitar instructors, Card Chords are the way to go.
The ability to learn basic chords on the same day you unpack your deck of Card Chords is priceless in itself, but the truth is that these perforated tabs are significantly cheaper than all alternatives.
Streamlined Notation System
Music teachers use the names of notes when describing the chords for a good reason – they believe it’s necessary to understand the building blocks of music theory, but what if you’re not interested in becoming a classically trained musician?
There are more “casual” guitarists who simply want to rock out with their friends and play in local pubs than people who pursue professional careers in music. Even though you won’t get to learn the name of each note on your guitar with Card Chords, you’ll learn the names of all elementary guitar chords and how to play them.
One of the main differences between Card Chords and tabs, sheet music, and similar tools is that Card Chords have a thoroughly streamlined notation system.
Each Card Chords tab features the following markers:
- White markers indicate “open” strings. When playing the desired chord, play this string without fretting any notes on it.
- Red markers indicate that should be entirely skipped. If you see one on the chord you’re learning, it means that the strings with red markers aren’t necessary to play it.
- Blue markers with numbers indicate “fretting positions”. The fret with this marker indicates that this string should be pressed while the number tells you which finger to use.
These simple instructions are super-easy to follow and ensure that even people who’ve never played guitar before can effortlessly learn how to play guitar chords.
They’re Great for Sharing
Teens love making bands, but they often struggle to learn the basics – they either don’t have the money for proper music education or spend weeks trying to figure out basic techniques and music theory.
Instead of wasting time staring at tablature apps and trying to figure out complex music books, your entire band can learn everything there is to know about fundamental guitar chords with just one deck of Card Chords.
Since they’re portable, they’re easy to pass around. Whenever you’re not actively practicing guitar, you can lend your deck to your friends, or you can even learn together.
Next time you’re rehearsing as a group, bring your Card Chords with you. Announce the name of the chord you’ll be teaching, and have your guitarist and bassist friends follow your fingers. This will essentially make you their guitar instructor for the day, and you won’t need any other learning tools to help your band learn how to play those chords.
Available for All Guitar Models and Makes
Many guitar accessories and tools are not exactly “universal”, which is not the case with Card Chords. Regardless of whether you own an old off-brand axe or a brand-new model, you can rest assured that Card Chords tabs will seamlessly fit the fretboard.
Card Chords come in 3 editions, including Stratocaster (for Strats, Tellys, Squires, Ibanez, Jackson, and Yamaha), Les Paul (Gibson, Epiphone, and Gretsch), and Universal Edition; the latter was designed to fit any fingerboard apart from nylon-strung acoustic guitars.
