aChordADay.com - If you're like me you spend a lot of time doing a lot of stuff. Some of it necessary, some of good, but a lot of it just busy-work.  After a while, you forget what you like to do.  For guitarists, sometimes you don't have an hour to sit down and practice, or even 30 minutes.  Unless you play professionally, your life is spent with a lot of other things to keep the lights on and the roof over your head.

So when you want to learn something with guitar, you go a couple routes- find a course or scheduled lesson with a good teacher who can push you further.  Or, if you just have the desire to learn a bit each day, but aren't at a place to do a lot more right now, it can be nice to get a little nugget of guitar wisdom each day.

This is where a site like "A Chord A Day" (www.achordaday.com) can come in real handy.  Az Samad is a noted fingerstyle guitarist from Malaysia, who has put together a simple, but effective little online respite for the wandering guitarists out there.  Nothing fancy, but a nice vibrant chord each day for you to consider. It includes a short measure or two of sample notation, and a nice online audio demo of the chord, along with a sentence or two from Az.  Like musical vitamins for the guitarist each morning, this might indeed keep that muse-hated physician "Doctor Boredom" away for another day.  Check it out (www.achordaday.com)

Run by a guitarist named Kenny Goh!  This is an awesome resource for guitarists!

An amazing website of great stuff, done by someone who seems pretty genuine (he's not trying to just sell something)... here are plenty of youtube.com vidoes on his blog, and almost all are his revisions of how to play certain electric guitar licks.. very very good site! Check it out!  Be sure to send your church guitarist here!

Here is a very cool inline tool you can use to find the name of chords that you are playing or wanting to play.  You can hit "play" and hear the chord too.  It's a nice little deal, so I figured it might be useful to some.
