What you'll learn

  • transitions / seeing ahead musically in order to play smoothly without beginner jitters and breaks or melt-downs upon making mistakes
  • accuracy and timing regarding guitar playing so that everybody around you hears music and not erratic "banging on the guitar"
  • brush strokes, slides, and pull offs on guitar, opening a world of beloved songs that require these techniques to play them
  • harmonics and dynamics on guitar, adding complexity to your playing and performance ability
  • how to play as fast as 180 beats per minute - the song we are going to learn called "Fireflies" was meant to be played that fast, BY YOU!
  • how to free yourself of sheet music so you can truly immerse yourself in playing guitar without your eyes being glued to papers or screens

Description

This course was carefully designed to bring slightly 'above beginner' guitarists to the 'intermediate' level. With key skills/maneuvers gained along the way, students that finish this program will clearly know that they are definitely not beginners anymore. Over this 6 week program, you will learn more than 10 essential intermediate guitar skills through one special song called "Fireflies".  This song was written exclusively for this program and while it is musically delightful and fun to play, we've laced this song with those intermediate skills so that if you can play our song at speed, you are an intermediate guitarist - let there be no more doubts!

This program's methods and effectiveness are proven and have been beta tested twice and delivered several times to different batches of students - over 50 students have happily taken this program and can attest to its ability to level up your guitar abilities. You are receiving the most refined and tested version of this course.

Join us for what our students consider the best guitar program they've ever experienced, ranking this levels above trying to learn independently, with others they've failed learning with or by scouring aimlessly on YouTube.

Students that graduate from our Fireflies program are eligible to join the String Theory Guitar Club - we meet regularly in live sessions over zoom to continue learning and pushing our guitar skills forward.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for the 'above beginner' but 'less than intermediate' guitar player. The perfect candidate has a guitar and has put in some time trying to learn songs. They likely struggle to play a song perfectly and smoothly from beginner to end, especially without looking at the sheet music.
