1) Spanish Site Is Up…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s up… tocaguitarra.com. Let your Spanish friends know that this
website is now live. All the future Newsletters will be in Spanish too.
The signup for the Spanish Newsletter is at the new site. Currently
only volume 1 of the Worship Guitar Class series is in Spanish.
Volumes 2 & 3 are planned for next year, in DVD and video format.

Visit the new Spanish site…
http://tocaguitarra.com/

2) IV I Lesson With Audio Example…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An easy way to extend a song is with the IV I ending. As a recap
from the last Newsletter, many songs are built on the I, IV, V chords.
These are chords built on the First, Fourth, and Five notes of a key.
This is explained in Worship Guitar Class, Volume Two.

You can easily extend the end of a song by playing the IV chord first
and then the last chord. The musical names of the I, IV and V are tonic,
sub-dominant, and dominant. The tonic is the chord built on the first
note of a key. In the key of A, the tonic is an A chord.

Here’s the ending for ‘I love you Lord.’ It’s in the key of D, it starts and
ends on a D chord. What is the IV in the key of D? Well… D is I, E is II,
F# is III and G is IV. G is the IV, or sub-dominant chord.

Normally the last line of ‘I Love You Lord’ is…
G D/F# Em A7 D

You can extend it with a IV I…
G D/F# Em A7 G D

I Love You Lord
by Laurie Klein
…D
I love You Lord
D……G ………D …D

May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.

Here’s the audio clip or you can also click here to hear the audio.

This is the teaching audio. It’s over 1 MG and with DSL or
cable accounts plays perfectly with a click.

If you don’t see the buttons, or you have a slower Internet
connections, you can also just click here. On a modem
connection it should take about 6 minutes to download,
then it’s going to sound fine.

‘I Love You Lord’ is from Worship Guitar Class volume one.
If you don’t already have a copy, it’s available here…

In the midst of working on the Spanish version of volume one, I met
some precious new friends from Columbia. One of the them emailed
me photos of a National Park in Columbia. It’s so beautiful. There is
even a river of five colors. Fascinating.

God has made something special and unique for every country. There are
plants, animals & terrain unique to each. He is amazing! He is sooo…. amazing!

Did you know there is a fruit in Indonesia that smells so bad Hotels don’t
allow people to bring it in the door? Have you heard how large cockroaches
get in Argentina? Even in the deepest depths of the ocean there are fish of
beautiful colors! Well, our Father loves beauty.Aren’t you glad that
we can know Him!

Worship Him with all your heart, because He loves you with all of His!

In His Love,

Jean Welles

1) How to teach little ones…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve gotten several emails recently asking about how to
teach little kids. The videos and DVD’s are great for ages
9 and up, but I would suggest starting slower for ages 5 – 8.

You can start them off by helping them recognize strings
and frets. Tell them the strings numbers…1 through 6, and
ask them to play various strings.

Then show them the frets. They need to know that their
little fingers go behind a fret so the string can sound. Have
them count the frets and learn which is the first, etc.

Then, just call out a string and fret and make it a game to see
how fast they can make that note sound. After they have an
understanding of strings and frets, then I would teach them
some chords.

Instead of starting with A & E7, I like to start with one
finger chords for little guys. You can teach them C & G7.
See the chart here…

Get them to do these chords with just their first finger.
For C, which is the second string, first fret, they need
to strum the top three strings only. For G7, they just
strum the top four strings.

Work on the chords and ask them…”Now how many
string do you strum for C?” “Wow, you’re smart…that’s
right!!!” They probably wont remember right away, but
they will get it, and be sure to give them LOTS of praise.

When they are ready, they can play ‘He’s Got The Whole
World In His Hands’ using C and G7.

Kids love games, and you can present this material like
a game. I taught a class of Home School boys from age
5 – 9 and they just loved it. They didn’t even want to
take a break for summer vacation!

2) DVD’s…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DVD 2 is at the Mastering House. The sleeves and booklets
are printed. I will let you know as soon as they are ready!
I thought it was going to be done months ago.

I’ll start working on DVD 3 this week, Lord willing. I know
many of you have been waiting for these, and it’s my first
priority. When the DVD’s are finished I’ve got many ideas
in my head for ways to help you.

I’ve had Volume Four in mind for a couple years and know
what I’d like to teach. But I’d also like to make a DVD of
how to teach little kids and there has been a request for
teaching how to transpose songs into different keys.

I’ll be getting a survey system up in a few days to see
what you’d would like next.

3) In Closing…

Blessings to you in this end of the holiday weekend. I pray
God’s love fill your heart. He is so GOOD!!!

Praise Him with all your heart, because He loves you with
all of His!

Love & Blessings in the LORD,
