When learning guitar it's very important to manage your expectations and not become frustrated too easily (guitar is a physically challenging instrument). As a beginner, it's just as important to have fun making music as it is to buckle down and practice. If you are having difficulty with the chords for Happy Birthday, refer to the alternate method below.

The guitar tab shown below provides the absolute beginner a method to play along with the rest of the group. The entire song is performed on one string, either the high or low E string, and each number corresponds to a position on the fret board (i.e. 2 = 2nd fret / 10 = 10th fret). As each individual note is played, the rest of the group will strum the chords on the 3rd and 6th position of each group.
