Description
In many living rooms there is a Guitar lying around – unplayed.
Or a Ukulele brought from the last vacation. Unused because nobody can play it.
But its easier than you think to play well-known and popular songs with this instruments.
With our “One Finger Guitar” system, all you need to do is to retune the instrument and learn 2 strumming pattern – and no complicated finger acrobatics with the left hand.
First we retune the instrument, there is no need to change the strings. So a harmonious multi-sound can be heard without having to grab a chord with your left hand.
All other accompanying chords can now be played with a simple grip of the left hand - with just one finger - "One Finger Guitar". Or - even more convenient - we grip with all fingers of our left hand and press all the strings onto the fret.
Almost all songs can be played in this way - simply move the left hand to the fret as indicated in the tablature.
The right hand strikes up and down in a certain rhythm - indicated as a "pattern" - the chords then sound in a suitable rhythm.
That's it, there is nothing more to know to accompany many well-known and popular songs on the Guitar!
Anyone can learn this in a short time, and music can be played together in a convivial atmosphere!
All topics are explained one after the other simply and with many diagrams. Exercises help the right hand to control the rhythm.
A few tips and the procedure for working out almost every song with this simple system round off the course.
With 29 well-known and popular songs, all of the learned topics can now be practiced. These songs are presented with sounds (Guitar, Metronom and Vocals), animations and the popular "Karaoke" function, at a slow pace and with increasing difficulty.
With a little practice you can play along right away.

Amazing Grace / Auld Lang Syne / Aura Lee (Love me tender) / Banks of the Ohio / Camptown Races / Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust / Down by the Riverside / Go down Moses / Happy birthday to you / He's got the whole world in his hands / Home on the range / Horch was kommt von draußen rein / Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho / My Bonnie lies over the ocean / Oh my darling, Clementine / Oh Susanna / Old Folks at Home (Swanee River) / Old MacDonald had a farm / Polly Wolly Doodle / Scarborough Fair / Skip to my Lou / Stille Nacht (Silent Night) / The house of the Rising Sun / The wild rover / Tom Dooley / Twinkle twinkle little star / We wish you a Merry Christmas / When Johnny comes marching home / Will the circle be unbroken?
