Know the notes on the fingerboard.
Play well know tunes from Jingle Bells to Lambada!

I designed this course as If I am a complete beginner who never touched a guitar before. So not only I will explain how to play an exercise, but I will break it down and play it with you in a very slow speed so you can follow along.

Here are key features you will learn:

The anatomy of the guitar.
How to tune the strings.
Names of the notes on each string.
How to play rest stroke.
How to use your thumb.
Playing 2 voices on the guitar.

This course is designed for the complete beginners who never played the guitar before, but If you play the guitar or can strum a few chords and wants to be a finger style guitarist, this course is also for you.

This is hands down the best guitar course I have ever taken. The instructor seems to really love teaching, he is sincere, and seems to care. There are mild glitches in the course (missing some reference material), but this does not distract from the program.

Hi, I am Hany Gamal. I live in Egypt. I studied photography and video editing at fine art college. Then I took a 2 years course with the New York Institute of Photography.

I studied guitar with The Royal School of Music, and I finished Grade 8 guitar back in 2004.

My real passion is teaching, so I teach everything I know... photography, guitar, and even Rubik's Cube - which I can do in less than 2 minutes.

I worked as a freelance photographer, a camera-man, a video editor, and a guitar tutor at International British schools.

I run a chess club in my school where I work as a music and performing art director.
