The idea
Tabs tell you where.
Numbers tell you why.
Every key has seven chords. Number them, and the songs you love turn out to share a handful of patterns. Learn the patterns and you stop memorising songs one at a time — you start recognising them.
So this studio teaches one key per season and one song per episode, one new idea each time through the song, on a guitar made for that song alone. Season 1 is the key of G: ten songs, seven chords, five shapes.
If it helps one person pick up a guitar tonight and play something they love, it did its job. We hope it helps anyone and everyone.
