Strum by Strum

The mission of Strum by Strum is to set a new standard in music resources so that students, teachers, songwriters, singers, and instrumentalists of all levels can learn, create, and collaborate with greater ease and more freedom.

Over the course of 10 years, our co-founder, Parker, has taught hundreds of students. An important issue he continually saw them struggle with had nothing to do with their ability. The resources for learning guitar, both on the internet and in published form, were generally of poor quality. He saw material that was incomplete, contradictory, overly-complex, too specialized, non-standard, even dead wrong in some cases!

In order to address the issue, Parker designed a way to present songs on paper that was complete, easy to read, and consistent across all songs. After sharing these 'charts' with Michael and Neil, the three established Strum by Strum Music, LLC and began the task of moving from paper form to the digital sphere. Their goal is to provide students, teachers, and performers with information they can trust, coupled with easy-to-use tools to assist them with their musical goals.
