Description

Welcome to POV: Essential Guitar Techniques for Beginners. If you're just getting started with the guitar, and are not sure where to start in terms of learning the basic techniques, this course is perfect for you. Most online guitar videos teach you from a mirrored perspective – meaning you're looking at the instructor directly and have to flip around everything you see. I like to do things differently. I like to teach from a first-person view – or a point-of-view perspective – so you can see exactly how your hands and fingers should look while playing guitar. I've helped thousands of guitar players learn their favourite songs and sharpen their skills using this method, and I know you'll learn faster than ever this way.


In this course, I'm going to take you through all the most essential techniques you'll need to play guitar, including hammer ons, pulls, harmonics, slides, palm muting and powerchords, and even some slightly more advanced techniques too, like two-handed tapping, arpeggios, and pinch harmonics (perfect for metal!). You'll also learn how to read guitar tab, the best way to hold your pick, and loads more.


By the end of this course you'll be well on your way with all the essential guitar techniques, so don't wait around – enrol now!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner guitarists looking to learn basic and intermediate-level essential guitar techniques
