Learn to play guitar quickly with easy-to-follow guitar lessons that take you from basics such as how to tune a guitar, and how to play simple guitar chords to finger-picking, how to play blues and rock, and much more. Learning guitar is made fun of with popular songs for both acoustic guitar and electric guitar made famous by Bob Dylan, Steve Miller, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, and others.
Arranged in 8 sections, these incremental lessons cover the basics from holding the guitar and tuning the strings to playing chords and melodies, culminating in an explanation of finger-picking styles, and reading TABS. In total, there are over 50 high-quality videos and lots of audio tracks to listen to and play along with.
Even If you have been playing for a while now, you can still benefit from the materials covered in this course and fine-tune your finger-picking skills and your theory. We cover the minimum amount of theory here just to get your fingers playing chords and songs, I saved the details for the Intermediate course.
This course is designed for a total beginner who never played the guitar before, and so I will go step by step over everything from the start. It may feel a bit boring in the beginning, but trust me having solid basics will serve you well in the long run.
