Introduction
WELCOME to the exciting world of playing a guitar. This course will help you get the best out of your
guitar whether it be a Classical Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, Acoustic Guitar or Electric Guitar.
This complete self teaching programme will enable anyone to pick up a musical instrument and play it within a matter of weeks. Our
4 part series of books dedicated to each instrument, help guide the student through the most difficult parts of learning and playing a
musical instrument. Our ultimate goal is that everyone enjoys playing music, and with Eaziplay™ they will explore an alternative side to
playing a musical instrument. The journey will be fun, easy and extremely beneficial to a person’s intelligence, motor skills and self
confidence levels. This book is Part Two in the Eaziplay Series. Before commencing Part Two, it is advisable to complete Part One so as
you will have a better understanding of the topics covered in Part Two. By the end of this book you will be skillful in:
❑ Reading Sheet Music (All Black & White Notes)
❑ Playing Popular Songs (12 Songs)
❑ Playing All Major Chords
❑ Playing All Major Arpeggios
❑ Music Theory (Time Signatures)
Although written primarily as a ‘teach yourself’ system, The Eaziplay Series books have been taken up eagerly by teachers especially at
elementary and high school level. The course is equally beneficial to special needs centers and hospitals that deliver music therapy
programs to individuals.
If you are teaching yourself to play, two helpful features are available to budding musicians – stickers for your instrument (located at the
back of book) – which remind you of the reference for the musical notes and audio files of the songs which can be downloaded
from our website @ www.eaziplay.ie so you can play along. The audio files enable you to learn about playing in time to a metronome
which is a clever device that measures timing in music. Our website contains lots more songs to
play and registration is free. So let’s begin.
Good luck!

Review – Material
Learned In Part One
First up let’s go over what we learned in Part One. On the next page you will find Happy Birthday. It’s the same version as the one in
the Part One book except it is to be played with two note chords. That’s how good you’ve got. ! So go to the next page and play
Happy Birthday!
Let’s learn a bit more about bars in music. What is a Bar? Bars (or measures) are segments of time defined by a given number of beats,
each of which are assigned a particular note value. Dividing music into bars with a vertical line provides regular reference points to pinpoint
locations within a piece of music. It also makes written music easier to follow, since each bar of
staff symbols can be read and played as a batch.
Without bars, musicians would be lost when playing a specific part of a piece of music. Typically, a piece consists of several bars of the
same length, and the number of beats in each bar is specified at the beginning of the score by the top number of a time signature (such as
3/4), while the bottom number indicates the note value of the beat. The following are various types of bar lines.
.. .. .. ..
Standard Double End Begin Repeat End Repeat Begin & End
Repeat
Did you know that according to the
1998 Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday
to You" was the most recognized song in the English
language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow".
The song's base lyrics have been translated
into at least 18 languages!

"Für Elise", is one of Ludwig
van Beethoven's most popular compositions. This
piece of music was not published until 1867, 40
years after the composer's death in 1827. The
discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, affirmed that
the original autographed manuscript,
now lost, was
dated 27 April 1810.

39 Remember the ‘TIE’ symbol from the
D Part One Book for example, in bar 35, when you
40 play the 44th note let it ring until the
next bar and then silence it.
Timbre also known as tone color, or tone quality is the quality of a musical note, sound, or tone that distinguishes different types of sound
production, such as voices and musical instruments, for example, string instruments, wind instruments, and percussion instruments. In
simple terms, timbre is what makes a particular musical sound different from another, even when they have the same pitch and loudness.
For instance, it is the difference between a guitar and a piano playing the same note at the same loudness.
Experienced musicians are able to distinguish between different instruments of the same type based on their varied timbres, even if those
instruments are playing notes at the same pitch and loudness. The sound of a musical instrument may be described with words such as
bright, dark, warm, harsh, and other terms. The richness of a sound or note a musical instrument produces is sometimes described in terms
of a sum of a number of distinct frequencies.

Major Chords
What is a Chord? Put simply ‘a chord is when any more than one note is played together simultaneously’. Chords along with Scales
allow us to 1) Learn about harmony, 2) Improve our motor skills and hand dexterity, 3) Gives us the tools to write our own songs! That’s
all you need to know about them at this moment in time. To get started do you remember the tree from earlier!!!!
Every chord has 12 types (or branches) because every chord C# D# F# G# A#
has 12 roots. Each chord is given a reference like Major Chord, CD E FGA B
Minor Chord, Major 7th Chord. So take for example within the
Major Chord there are 12 types for the Major Chords. These are:
C, D, E, F, G, A, B (using the White Keys) and C Sharp, D
Sharp, F Sharp, G Sharp, A Sharp i.e., C#, D#, F#, G#, A#
(using the Black Keys). So let’s see how chords are indicated for
guitar. With chords, notes are played at the same time together.
Chords In the image below you can see how each horizontal line represents each string on the guitar, while
each vertical line represents a fret on the guitar. From this we can form a chord diagram for any chord
we wish to play. With this chord diagram we can a) see which string needs to be plucked,
b) see which note needs to be depressed and c) which finger to use when fretting the fretboard.

j at Hand Coordination. The fingers are assigned a
Ef Capital Letter A, B, C, D, E for the Left Hand
(specific color for each finger) and Lowercase
Letters f, g, h, i, j for the Right Hand. With this
information we can form a complete Chord Diagram
chart to indicate any chord we wish to.

In ‘Hush Little Baby’ we are going to play two note chords B CD 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
i.e., playing two strings together to form a chord. To play A 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51
simply fret the 43rd note on the 2nd string with your Left 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
Hand Index Finger (D) and pluck the string. Moving onto the 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42
second bar we pluck the 43rd note again on beat one. Then 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
we fret the 52nd note on the 1st string with our Left Hand 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
Index Finger (D) and the 48th note on the 2nd string with
your Left Hand Middle Finger (C). Now pluck the two strings
together for beat two. Follow the sequence and make sure
you play the correct notes upon the correct strings with the
correct fingers. Take your time and go slow.

WHAT IS THE EAZIPLAY PULSE STRIP? The Eaziplay Pulse Strip is used to aid you when playing songs. It specifically
represents the timing of each beat within each bar, thus visually showing you when to play and release notes on the guitar. There are
two aspects to the aid 1) The Strip is a BLUE HORIZONTAL LINE support, 2) Each beat is indicated with a GREEN DOT upon that line.
Beat One Beat Two Beat Three Beat Four
Blue horizontal line supports In the example shown of ‘Hush Little Baby’ there are four green
the green dots that indicate beats dots above bar one and another four green dots above bar two.
in a bar of music. On the third beat of bar one fret the 43rd note with the Left Hand Index
Finger (D) and pluck the string.
Then pluck the 43rd note again in the first beat of the second bar.
On the second beat you fret the 52nd note on the 1st string with the Left
Hand Index Finger (D) and the 48th note on the 2nd string with the Left
Hand Middle Finger (C). Now pluck these two strings together with
any two fingers of the Right Hand.
On the third beat pluck the same two notes again.
On the fourth beat fret the 53rd note on the 1st string with the Left Hand
Ring Finger (B) and 48th note on the 2nd string with the Left Hand
Middle Finger (C). Pluck these two strings together with any two
fingers of the Right Hand. 17

In this section we will begin to use our knowledge of chords to play and sing along to some songs. Have you ever seen someone playing a guitar
and while playing they sing along to the song? This is called ‘accompaniment’. It can come in two forms 1) ‘Instrumental Performance’ or 2)
‘Singing Performance’. Instrumental performance is where the musician plays their instrument without singing and singing performance obviously
contains some sort of singing. The person will sing the melody of a song while playing chords which enhance their performance.
There are three stages in this process 1) Learn the Chords for the Song 2) Learn To Sing The Lyrics of the Song 3) Play The Chords Along
to the Song. 90% of popular songs contain between 4 & 8 chords of which repeat throughout the song. The first song we will learn chords to is,
‘For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow’. Take note of the Eaziplay Pulse Strip which is a beat guide to when to play each chord.
To play, simply learn the following three chords, C, G and F Major Chords. For example with C Major play the 44th note on the 1st open string, fret the
40th note with the Left Hand Index Finger, the 35th note on the 3rd open string and fret the 32nd note on the 4th string with the Left Hand Middle Finger.
Play the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings while holding down the indicated notes on the fretboard. Do not play the 5th or 6th string as they are indicated with
an X. Once learned play all three chords while you say or sing the lyrics!

Music Genres describe the category a piece of music or song falls into. The 1st Category we will introduce is Blues Music
Style/Genre. Blues originated in the African-American communities in the "Deep South" of the United States around the end of
the 19th century. The genre developed from roots in traditional African music, combined with European American folk music.
Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues
form, ever-present in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues
scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. The blue notes which are often thirds
or fifths are flatter in pitch than in other music styles. They are also an important part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking
bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect called a groove. Though the use of the phrase in African-
American music may be older, it has been attested to in print since 1912, when Hart Wand's "Dallas Blues"
became the first copyrighted blues composition.

Hearing Frequency Range of Mammals, Animals & Humans
Take a look at the hearing ranges of various species on earth. Also you can see the lowest note and highest notes / pitches / frequency sang by
human beings! This gives you an idea how important hearing is for us all whether you are an animal, mammal or human being. Animals have
specialized hearing ranges that have evolved so as they avoid hearing ranges of their prey. Synthesizers are electronic devices that
use a variety of means to artificially create sound waves. They can oscillate sounds at any frequency range.

To play, learn the five chords from the song i.e., G, C, Am (the small ‘m’ refers to what is called ‘Minor’ so the chord is called A Minor),
D7 (refers to a seventh chord so the chord is called D7) and finally the A chord. As you begin to sing the following song, play the correct
chords above the words of the song. Play each chord once only.

Music Genres describe the category a piece of music or song falls into. The 2nd Category we will introduce is Classical Music
Style/Genre. Classical music is produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music, including both liturgical (religious) and
secular music. The major time divisions of classical music are as follows: the early music period, which includes the Medieval
(500–1400) and the Renaissance (1400–1600) eras, the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600–1750),
Classical (1750–1820), and Romantic eras (1804–1910), and the 20th century (1901–2000) which includes the modern
(1890–1930) that overlaps from the late 19th-century, the high modern (mid 20th-century), and contemporary or
postmodern (1975–2015) eras.
Performers who have studied classical music extensively are said to be "classically trained". This training may be from private
lessons from instrument or voice teachers or from completion of a formal program offered by a conservatory, College or University,
such as a B.Mus. or M.Mus. degree (which includes individual lessons from professors). In classical music, "extensive formal music
education and training, often to postgraduate [Master's degree] level" is required.

As you sing the following song, play the correct chords above the words of the song. Play each chord B CD
once only and only start singing on Beat Four of the 1st Bar. To play the G Chord you play the 47th note A
on the 1st string, 42nd note on the 2nd string, the 3rd open string and 4th open string together. Strum all four
strings in a downward motion with your pick or your fingers. To play C Chord play the 1st open string, fret
the 40th note on the 2nd string, the 3rd open string and fret the 32nd note on the 4th string. Strum all four
strings in downward motion as before. To play the D7 Chord fret the 46th note on the 1st string, the 40th
note on the 2nd string, the 37th note on the 3rd string, play the 4th open string and the 5th open string
altogether.

Music Genres describe the category a piece of music or song falls into. The 3rd Category we will introduce is Country Music Style/Genre.
Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in the Southern United States in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the
southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history.
Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string
instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, dobro and fiddles as well as harmonicas. The term country music gained
popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music. It came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to
hillbilly music from similar roots in the mid-20th century.

What are Notes, Chords,
Scales, Arpeggios & Modes?
The five main elements that make up music are Notes, Chords, Scales, Arpeggios & Modes all of which fall under what is called
‘SOUND’. Sound is basically a vibration (soundwave) in air or water with its ‘perception’ (awareness) measured in Hertz (Hz) and its
pressure level measured in decibels (dB).
You may not think sound is powerful but ‘sound’ happens to be one if not the most powerful properties on earth! It has the power to
make us happy, sad, give us headaches, make us stressful and can even make us very ill. It can shatter glass, it can knock the largest
buildings and bridges on earth as well as cause extreme catastrophe through earthquakes and tsunami’s which occur in various parts of
the world. The most extreme example of the power of sound is tsunami’s.
Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami of 2004
The day after Christmas Day in 2004 seen one of the most horrific examples in
earth’s history of the power of sound. The Indian Ocean earthquake occurred on
26th December 2004 with the epicenter off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
The vibrational shock had a magnitude of 9.1–9.3. The undersea megathrust
earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was sub ducted by the Burma Plate
and triggered a series of devastating tsunami’s along the coasts of most
landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000 people in 14 countries, and
inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 ft.) high.
It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the Soundwave (High Pitch)
hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. The energy released
was equivalent to 26 megatons of TNT and equivalent to over 1500 times the
energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb released during the Second World War.
Soundwave (Louder)
Soundwave (Low Pitch)
Soundwave (Quieter)
29
What is a Note?
In simple terms a ‘NOTE’ is a musical pitch / soundwave that resonates (vibrates) at a certain frequency and this frequency is measured
in Hertz (Hz). The piano contains 88 notes of which each vibrate at a certain frequency. The foundation for the tuning of the piano is the
49th key (indicated with the red dot below) on the piano which vibrates @ 440Hz. This 440Hz is called ‘concert pitch’ and all musical
instruments are tuned to this frequency.
What is a Chord?
In simple terms a ‘CHORD’ occurs when you play any more than one note together at the same time. There are tens of thousands of
chords in music and they are given references like Major Chords, Minor Chords etc. Each chord has specific notes played together and
they can create various types of moods in music.
What is a Scale?
In simple terms a ‘SCALE’ is a sequence of notes that are in harmony with one of the twelve roots of music i.e., C, D, E, F, G, A, B
(white notes) and C#, D#, F#, G#, A# (black notes). There are tens of thousands of scales in music and they are given references like
Major Scales, Minor Scales etc. They help us develop a perception of melody which leads to the ability to create our own
melodies/songs.
What is an Arpeggio?
In simple terms an ‘ARPEGGIO’ are notes from a broken chord i.e., the notes that form a specific chord are ‘broken up’ and played one
at a time either forward or backward in motion on the instrument. If there are tens of thousands of chords, that means there are tens of
thousands of arpeggios. In the example below the three notes used to form the C Major Chord are ‘broken up’ and played from the
lower end of piano to the higher end.
30
What is a Mode?
In simple terms a ‘MODE’ is a sequence of notes that have a melodic foundation of which are in harmony with one of the twelve roots of
music i.e., C, D, E, F, G, A, B (white notes) and C#, D#, F#, G#, A# (black notes). They differ from scales in one main characteristic i.e.,
scales do not contain the building blocks of melody, but modes do contain the building blocks of melody.
C Phrygian Mode II
Time Signatures
Time Signatures are used to specify how many beats are in each bar. The C indicates common time i.e., 4/4 time signature. There are
various types of time signatures, depending on whether the music follows simple rhythms or involves unusual shifting tempos, including:
➢ Simple (such as 3/4 or 4/4),
➢ Compound (e.g., 9/8 or 12/8),
➢ Complex (e.g., 5/4 or 7/8),
➢ Mixed (e.g., 5/8 & 3/8 or 6/8 or 3/4),
➢ Additive (e.g., 3+2+3/8),
➢ Fractional (e.g., 2½/4), and
➢ Irrational meters (e.g., 3/10 or 5/24). 4
4
Time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other:
The upper numeral indicates how many beats in a bar
The lower numeral indicates the note value that represents one beat

Music Genres describe the category a piece of music or song falls into. The 4th Category we will introduce is Electronic Music
Style/Genre. Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical instruments and electronic music technology in its
production, and an electronic musician, being a musician who composes and/or performs such music. In general a distinction
can be made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology.
Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the Hammond organ, and the electric guitar. Purely electronic
sound production can be achieved using devices such as the sound synthesizer, and computer. The first electronic devices for
performing music were developed at the end of the 19th century, and shortly afterward Italian Futurists explored sounds that
had previously not been considered musical. During the 1920s and 1930s, electronic instruments were introduced and the first
compositions for electronic instruments were composed.
Music Genres describe the category a piece of music or song falls into. The 5th Category we will introduce is Folk / Traditional Music
Style/Genre. Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term
originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways:
as music transmitted orally, or as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One
meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers, another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a
process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time. Traditional folk music also includes most indigenous
music i.e., Music of Africa, especially non-European, Asian or Arab-derived traditions; Maori music of New Zealand, Music of the
Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia; Music of the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, Native
American music of the United States and Inuit, Métis and First Nation music of Canada.

Arpeggios
What is an Arpeggio? Put simply ‘an arpeggio is a broken chord i.e., notes from any chord are played one note at a time. Arpeggios are great for
showing off how good you know the musical notes of the guitar. ‘Yngwie Malmsteen’ are renowned instrumental guitarist who blends classical music
and rock music plays many arpeggios in his songs to show off his skill. They are used a lot in very advanced classical pieces called ‘concertos’.
When you play them you will look COOL and everyone will be astonished when you perform them. Arpeggios may look hard
when you see them being played but they are actually quite easy to play once you understand how the guitar is set up.
Arpeggios As well as making you look cool they can help strengthen your wrists and fingers. When practicing arpeggios make sure that
1 you do not strain your wrists or fingers.
4 Because the piano is the foundation instrument for
4
music it is very important that a guitarist knows the
proximity of all the notes of their guitar. This
makes it easier to not only play music but also
write and compose melody and songs. Let’s take
a look at the C Major Arpeggio. It contains the
following notes: 28th note, 32nd note, 35th note, 40th
note, 35th note, 32nd note and 28th note.

As before the Left Hand Fingers are identified by the Uppercase Letters A, B, C, D, E (blue font) and the Right Hand plucking fingers are identified
by the Lowercase Letters f, g, h, i, j (red font). To play this first C Major Arpeggio we are going to form a shape that enables us to play a C Major

B CD Arpeggios are a wonderful way of getting to know the guitar. Just like ‘Scales’ & ‘Chords’, ‘every Arpeggio has 12
A types (or branches) because every arpeggio has 12 roots. Each arpeggio is given a reference like Major Arpeggio,
Minor Arpeggio, Major 7th Arpeggio. So take for example within the Major Arpeggio there are 12 types for the Major
Arpeggios. These are, C, D, E, F, G, A, B (using the White Notes) and C Sharp, D Sharp, F Sharp, G Sharp, A
Sharp i.e., C#, D#, F#, G#, A# (using the Black Notes). The following is a compilation of all the Major Arpeggios.
