Learn to Play the Guitar - (for beginners)

Welcome to my Guitar course. Are you a beginner? Then not to worry, as this course was specially prepared for you. You can learn to play the guitar from the very beginning. This is a practical oriented course with a little bit of theory too.

Starting with the names of the strings as well as the names of the parts of the guitar, you will learn how to play simple chords to accompany a singer. That singer could even be yourself. Thereafter you will learn many more chords to play for many other songs. This course has a unique test to find out if one has a musical ear.

Online assistance could be arranged at request. I hope to personally guide you and assist you until you learn to progress on your own. I am available from 7.00am to 9.00pm Sri Lanka time (GMT/UTC +5½hrs). Please let me know a convenient time for a meeting. I will send a link to join the meeting.
