003 How to Read a Chord Chart vs Sheet Music

10/09/23 • 21 min

This episode is all about reading a chord chart, which is so different from playing traditional sheet music. I wish someone would have told me these differences when I was first starting out with chord charts. Even if you have quite a bit of knowledge on reading sheet music, there's a few simple things to know about chord charts to kickstart your learning. I also share a few stories about my own journey and student success stories in this episode!
