Autumn Leaves - Chords and Lyrics
Am7 D7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7
The
au - tumn leaves drift by my window,
F#dim7 B7 Em7 Em7
The
autumn leaves of red and gold.
Am7 D7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I
see your lips, the summer kisses,
F#dim7 B7 Em7 Em7
The
sunburned hands I used to hold.
F#dim7 B7 Em7 Em7
Since
you went away, the days grow long,
Am7 D7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And
soon I'll hear old win - ter's song;
But
I miss you most of all, my Dar - ling,
F#dim7 B7 Em7 Em7
When
au - tumn leaves start to fall.

With

Guitar Strumming Techniques and Warmups
When strumming guitar, there are three motions to keep in
mind.
Proper strumming uses all 3 of the below motions at the same time: However, try practicing each motion individually, and then combining them after.
1) 1st motion - arm movement. To practice arm movement, try keeping your wrist stiff and inflexible, only moving your arm. Of the three motions involved in strumming, this is the most important motion to create a strong strum pattern. However, the following two motions are also important in creating a balanced and well-rounded strum.
2) 2nd motion - wrist movement. To practice wrist movement, do not move your arm. Rather, practice strumming the strings only with movement from your wrist.
3) 3rd motion - “Turning the Doorknob”. To practice this motion, do not move your arm or your wrist. Rather, turn your hand as if you were opening a door. This helps you angle the pick properly.
Of all of the above motions, the first motion of using the arm is the most important for strength. However, the other two motions are essential when creating a warm, rich strum.
Here are some things to remember when strumming.
- Keep relaxed. Don’t get too stiff. Allow the pick to
“glide” over the strings.
- When you strum chords, you want to strum the strings
not as six individual strings, but as one group of strings.
- To avoid creating a sound that has too much treble, strive for hitting the correct bass notes.
- Choose your pick carefully. A stiff pick is not very
flexible. A medium pick has some bend to it. For most strumming, you will want
a thinner pick because it isn't as rigid. The flexibility of a thin or medium
pick helps it glide easier over the strings.
- When strumming, strum through the strings. In other
words, don’t stop the motion of the pick at the bottom or the top of the
strings. Usually there will be at least a few inches of motion even after you
have finished strumming all six strings.
- Make sure you don’t “tail” your hand off at the end of
the strum. If you tail your hand away at the end of the strum, this will keep
you from hitting the bottom strings. Rather, it is better to keep a vertical
motion throughout the entire strum.

Guitar Teaching Tips
1) Keep things fun. In my opinion, this is the most important thing to remember about teaching, and it's the thing that took me the longest to learn. If your student loves blues, don't spend the entire lesson focusing on classical music. If your student simply wants to learn how to strum some chords, don't spend your time learning heavy metal solos. Listening to your students and understanding what they are wanting to learn will help keep the lessons fun for them. This will help keep your students motivated to continue learning their instrument and also hopefully keep them coming back to lessons.
2) Use a book (or two). There are many excellent guitar teaching books available that help provide additional structure for a guitar lesson. I'm a fan of using the Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1 for beginners. After that, there are countless options of books that were written by very professionals for us to increase our musical knowledge. Generally, I like to spend roughly 1/3 or 1/2 of the lesson in a book. The rest of the lesson can be spent learning other songs or theory that the student may be interested in.
3) Bring a laptop and printer. Bringing a laptop and printer to lessons allows a teacher to immediately print out songs that a student is interested in. This saves time and let you jump right into a song that is on their mind. Remember to edit and save your charts for future lessons!
4) Don't be afraid to ask for your payment. It is human nature to forget things. We all do it sometimes, and it isn't rude to remind people if they accidentally forget to pay. In fact, I've found that most people appreciate you reminding them for your payment, as it's one less thing they have to always worry about.
