What does it mean?

Chord practice-this means strumming the chord, then picking out the individual notes, then strumming again...over and over for 5 min.

1 minute changes-to begin we're working on the A, D and E chords, so we make two chord combinations: DA AE DE
Using a timer I play D...A...D...A...D...A etc. for one minute counting how many times I change chords. When I can play 60 chords a minute I'm ready to go to the next level of practice schedule.

Easy songs-there are a few easy songs to work on at each level. Only problem is, they're songs by artists I never listened to, so I may have to find my own. I'm not going to play Mary Had a Little Lamb for long or I'll go bonkers. With the internet I should be able to find something I'm familiar with to use.

JUSTIN exercises-These are ear training exercises. He plays a chord and you try to figure out what chord it is. This trains your ear so later you can hear a song and figure out what chords you need to play it.

SSR-Single Sound Recognition-One chord at a time is played and you figure it out by trying various chords on your guitar.

CPR-Chord Progression Recognition-He plays a series of chords and you figure out what they are.
