Chela, I was so impressed with this resource, I added it to my web site.
I put their home page text with the links to all their instruments. It looks like this: Accessible Chords and Scales Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo and Ukulele Chords and scales for the blind and visually impaired Hundreds of chords and scales for the guitar, mandolin and ukulele in an accessible, screen-reader-friendly format. Choose from chords or scales below and follow the instructions on the following pages. Accessible Guitar Scales Accessible Guitar Cords Accessible Mandolin Cords Accessible Ukulele Chords Accessible Banjo Chords The title: “Accessible Chords and Scales “ is at heading level 2 and each instrument has its own link, but the active links didn’t copy into this email…. I put it just below the braille music info on my site, which you also had provided. Later, Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster.

I've played guitar for a long time but never found a resource to learn many of the more obscure cords and their different positions. Thank you very much.

It sounds really interesting. All I did was look for guitar for the blind and I came across something really cool that works with screen readers it’s accessible and what it does is you basically search the drop-down menu for what you want and you submit it whether it’s major or minor or whatever, and you hit the submit button jaws or NVDA will tell you how to form the cord. It’s really neat. Check it out. https://www.standardguitar.com/accessible-guitar-chords Sent from my iPhone On Jun 7, 2024, at 3:19 AM, Robert Doc Wright <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: http://www.wrighthere.net/GuitarMethodForTheBlind-DonaldHoffer.zip ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 6, 2024 5:55 PM Subject: RE: learning to play guitar and other stringed instruments as a blind person Don Hoffer’s Guitar method for the blind Do you know if this course is still there, possibly with a different title?

Also a sighted person should have no trouble teaching someone who is blind the guitar. I took guitar lessons from someone who was sighted and had no problems. I also learned a lot by ear.

I am wanting to learn to play guitar, mandolin, etc. I have no sight at all so would definitely have to learn to play in a tactile manner. How have those on these lists who play instruments learned to do so? I have no one near me who knows how to teach a blind person to play so I may have to do this on my own. thanks for any help with this. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN) USA -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
