The Music Club is a place to learn & share music, from the most basic play-by-ear at the campfire through to full music videos and documentaries. It will run initially on a 4-week cycle each Thursday evening so anyone who joins late or gets behind can just jump on the merry-go-round and ride through into the next cycle.

Session 1 starts with my 'world's easiest music learning system' which uses one-finger (or even zero-finger!) chords to get you playing instantly on guitar or ukulele. Nothing to buy - no gadgets or gimmicks.

Session 2 follows the advice of Elvis and many others that 'all you need is 3 chords' to play many songs and we progress through to today's all-purpose 4-chord sequence that fits all your favorite contemporary songs. By this stage you could be playing by ear at the next party.

Session 3 takes that same 3 chords into the world of rock music with the famous 12-bar blues. Ever wondered how those jazz and rock musicians could go up on stage with players they'd never met and instantly jam? The patterns you learn in this series will allow you to do that. As Henry Ford said 'I'll play any key you like as long as it's C". By this stage you could be running jam sessions.

Session 4 introduces the world of multimedia. You'll see how freeware, cheapware and apps probably already on your computer allow you to make music videos and documentaries. I run more comprehensive courses on OpenLearning but BigMarker is where we can share and demonstrate. By this stage you could be making music videos and documentaries.

Hopefully those who complete a few cycles will want to stay on board the merry-go-round and share their tunes and videos. Any non-profit group willing to join will have access to free resources.
