Beginner guitarists always start by learning Open Chords or beginner guitar chords as they are often referred to.
The limitations of learning only open chords on the guitar are that there only a few keys one can play songs in.
Inevitably, one has to progress to learning how to play bar chords.
Fortunately, most of the bar chords - with the exception of certain advanced chords, are based around the open guitar chords.
What happens with a bar chord, is that the nut of the guitar is replaced by the first finger, thus forming a bar across the strings to compensate.
We can take a simple E chord on the guitar, and move it up 3 frets, place the first finger behind it where the nut would be if it was an E, and hey presto - We have a G Bar Chord.
The same can be done with most open guitar chords.
There are some beginners guitar chords, like the D chord, which won’t work quite as well, but the D chord is basically the first three strings of the C chord, moved up two frets. If one had to take the C chord and move the whole thing up 2 frets while placing the bar behind it, one would have a more accurate and full version of a D chord. Open Chords are great for beginners, but please don’t stop there. The best Guitar Lessons focus around learning all the guitar chords, both open and bar.

Every singer knows that its an easy win with the crowd to pay tribute to the city you’re playing in to get them on your side. The typical concert-going crowd will go nuts if a singer says the name of their city almost regardless of what they say about it. There’s nothing wrong with leveraging the simple fact that the majority of people take pride in where they live but it has become so common and transparent that its almost shameful.
To take this a step further, some songs pay tribute to a city or neighborhood through their storytelling and some songs were written for the sole purpose of celebrating a city. Frank Sinatra comes to mind immediately of course, and who doesn’t love his tributes to New York and Chicago. The New York Yankees play “New York, New York” after every home game, though the Sinatra version only plays after a win and the Liza Minnelli version is played on the less than victorious days. The Counting Crows seem to pay tribute to tribute to almost every U.S. city in one song or another: from Omaha to Los Angeles to New York.
With all of the homage being paid to just about every city on the map, there is something about New York City in song lyrics. New York City is given further flattery as just about every neighborhood in the city has been recognized in one or many songs. The Chelsea neighborhood in New York City is a relatively small area of the city, yet it shows up in multiple songs by very popular bands. Third Eye Blind gives Lower Chelsea a mention in their “Motorcycle Drive By” lyrics and the Counting Crows dedicated an entire song about New York to the neighborhood in their song “Chelsea.” The Counting Crows song says “I never go to New York City these days, Something about the buildings in Chelsea just kills me.” Chelsea is largely residential, so it leaves us to wonder if the line refers to an ex-girlfriend’s apartment in Chelsea. This is part of the magic of music, that it is left to our imagination. Chelsea, for being such a small neighborhood, certainly gets a lot of accolades.

It’s important to make sure that you keep the wonderful tradition of sharing Christmas music during your holiday celebrations. Sadly, this seems to be a dying practice among many families in recent years. Christmas songs from Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” and Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” all the way through to Wham’s “Last Christmas” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” all hold special memories for me. Christmas music is a valuable part of this well-loved time of year. Other religions holiday songs can evoke many of the same emotions and fond memories like Adam Sandler’s “The Chanukah Song” I and II. There are animated and puppet characters that can trigger my holiday memories and emotions as well as any song artist. Directly after the Thanksgiving holiday you can count on The Chipmunks “Chipmunk Song”, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron, Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer, The Muppets “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”, Frosty The Snowman and everyone’s favorite green guy “Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch” to take us through the holiday’s singing their wonderful Christmas music.
