Description
Learning to play the guitar is meant to be an amazing experience. It is meant to be FUN! Often, students begin with a great deal of excitement and then along the way get lost. They get discouraged and sadly... quit. I have taught guitar for over 30 years and used many different teaching methods. I gradually became frustrated and discouraged because none of them taught what I felt was truly needed to be successful. I decided that the only solution was to write my own course and so Thumbs Up Kids Guitar was born. This course is FUN but it's also SYSTEMATIC and sets out very clearly what work you need to practice to achieve success. There are three books in this course - from beginner to advanced. Although it is called Kids Guitar it is equally suited to Adults. We all begin at the same place when learning to play! I'm excited to offer this course here on Udemy and trust you will enjoy working your way through it.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner Guitar Players... Children and Adults!
