Description: This Society meeting is a primer for our Society’s beginners. It may sometimes seems daunting to the very novice, but hang in there. Lots of help is all around you. While Moses is the main instructor, Dave B. and Sandy O. have volunteered as an assistant instructors who also sometimes lead lessons. Any one of the 3 may lead this Society meeting They’ll also help those attending this session practice the signature songs using these basic chords. It will start 45 min before any of our main scheduled meetings (e.g. 2nd Sunday NVUS Group Lessons or 4th Sunday NVUS Jams).
Suggested readings:
- Lesson Package 01: at a minimum
- Lesson Packages 02 and 03: these basically are the same as 01 but in the keys of F and G, respectively
- Strums and Rhythms cheat sheets
General Agenda:
- Scales: certainly C scale but may also cover scales in F and G.
- Basic major and 7th chords: used many of the jams songs, but in all of our signature songs, and practice exercises.

Do we need to print music off?
Hello Tammy, might be useful to have at least the lesson package 1 (C scale) and review it before the Primer and Group Lesson meetings. If you don’t have to books printed (that is a lot of pages), I’m sure you can share with another member. If you want to have an all around book available, do the Tall Oaks song book.
Sorry, also forgot another useful one is the strum cheat sheet.
Even though this is the 1st Primer and Group Lesson after the holidays, good time to review the basic strums and common progressions
