Sheet categories
Thirteen ways to approach the guitar, each with its own search criteria. Pick a category to get started.
This page is the entry point to the full catalogue, organised by exercise type rather than by musical style or level: warm-up, chord changes, rhythm, scales, arpeggios, improvisation, riffs... It's for anyone who already knows what kind of work they're after for today's session, as opposed to browsing by style (blues, rock, metal, pop) or by level from their own dedicated pages. Clicking a tile opens the filterable list for that exact type, locked onto it — the other criteria (level, style, key) stay adjustable once you're on that list.
Warm-up
Pure finger-independence drills to wake up your hands before playing, with no key involved.
Chord changes
Chord grids to chain together, to build fretting-hand transition strength.
Rhythm
Feel variations over existing grids (shuffle, quick change...).
Strumming
Down/up strumming patterns applied to already-familiar progressions.
Cadences
Short formulas that close a phrase (perfect, plagal, deceptive, turnaround).
Barre chords
Progressions centred on barre chords, across every key in the catalog.
Scales
Scale positions on the fretboard, computed and displayed automatically.
Arpeggios
The chords of a progression picked note by note instead of strummed.
Improvisation
A scale paired with a chord grid, ready to improvise over.
Technique
Exercises targeting one specific move (sweep picking, tapping, double stops...).
Riffs
Short melodies within a pentatonic box, meant to be looped.
Power riffs
A few power chords chained together that just sound right, rock/metal style.
Ending licks
Short closing phrases, built to end a riff rather than loop.
How to use it
Each tile locks the following list onto a single type: you can't change it without coming back to this page, but every other filter (level, style, key, search) stays available once you're on the list. To explore without starting from a specific type, other entry points exist: a random sheet from the homepage, the pages sorted by style or by level, or the on-demand sheet generator.
Practical tips and things to watch for
- If you don't know which type to start with, "warm-up" and "chord changes" are the best entry points for a complete beginner.
- Types combine in a real session: warm-up, then rhythm, then scales, for instance. The songbook lets you build a multi-type selection instead of staying on a single type at a time.
- "Riff" and "power riff" are close but distinct: the first spans every style, the second focuses on rock/metal with power chords. The "riff vs lick" glossary entry also explains the nuance with ending licks.
- Once you're on the locked list, don't come back to this page to change a secondary criterion (level, style, key): those filters adjust right there on the list.
