The tab is often over two pages.which cannot be seen on screen.

The only way round this is to print and put up on a music stand.

Is there a downloadable song book?

Yeah! Is there a way we can see Lisa playing on the left of the screen and the song lyrics on the right side of the screen with chords on them, that would be great that way we don't have to print out and looking down on it that way we see them both on the screen at the same time easy to follow that way, good idea please consider it will work that way we are focus on the screen.

If it auto scrolled as Lisa plays that would be brilliant.

My tiny office has two screens which I have tried, but there is not enough room to play guitar comfortably.

Lessons are downloadable but songs aren't due to licencing restrictions.

It is too bad they don't provide a PDF or something, but you don't want to get into the habit of relying on the music anyway. It won't stick to memory. Listen, play, and reference the tab when in doubt

[br][br]If you're talking about the Fundamentals course, there is a pdf. It downloads when you click the box that says "Print Notation." The first page of the PDF is a song sheet with the chords above the lyrics. I keep that open while I'm practicing the song.

If you require a song book, it can be created using Snipping tool. Snipping tool comes installed on Windows. I've used it, but I learn better when I write the chords out with pen and paper.


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

William ; Assume you mean to memorise the chord sequences ?

I'm in GF1 and finding the best way to play along is to watch, listen, write down the chords then listen to the changes whern I play along.

By practicing the chord transitions, It's allowing me to play along.

Any advice appreciated.

One best way is to use an arpeggio of the chord. So instead of playing the full chord at once, play the individual strings.

Also vary the spacing between the notes - long notes can do wonders for the song.

I have a 22" monitor. I download the video and the lesson. I open the lesson to the page with lyrics and chords and make the video as big as I can beside it. I do this with the videos on the site as long as I need to make the playback speed less than 100%, so my brower window is narrow enough to make room for the song page.
