Description

Welcome to the guitar for beginners course!


My name is Filip Flego, I am a professional guitar player and teacher, and I will lead you through the process of learning guitar.


We will start from the absolute beginning, and we will cover basic chords, melodies, rhythms, and left and right-hand techniques. We will do all that using original songs composed specially for this course.


Now and then, there are warm-up and theory lessons.
Warm-up lessons will help you develop different techniques, synchronize between left and right hand, and gain strength in the left hand.

Theory lessons will help you to systemize all the knowledge that you will gain.


Each lesson video lasts for max. 5 minutes. I suggest you dedicate 15 to 30 minutes to each lesson. Make pauses and watch some parts twice if you need it.

My other suggestion is that you practice at least 5 days in a week.


Every lesson is structured this way (except warm-up lessons and theory lessons):

1) I play the song

2) Explanation step by step - here you are learning. Make pauses if you need or watch some parts twice.

3) We play together - when you feel confident about your playing, here we do it together! ;)

4) After each lesson, you will download the PDF file with notation, TABs, comments, and further explanations to better understand what you have just learned to play, as well as to learn how you can write and read music.


IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS COURSE AFTER THE PURCHASE, THERE IS A 30 DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE!


If you never touched a guitar before, and don't know anything about music (but you would love to play guitar, and understand music), I designed this course for you.

This is the right place to start.

Make yourself a coffee, grab a guitar and let's learn to play it the easy way!

See you in your first lesson :)

I am professionally trained jazz guitarist and music teacher.

I played many gigs and concerts in jazz and pop settings, but I always enjoyed teaching the others. In addition to my second level degree in Jazz Guitar, I finished Supplementary Pedagogical and Psychological Education for Teachers. At the moment, I lead private guitar and music school and work on my solo guitar skills.
