Congratulations on checking out my Beginner Guitar Course!Yes I say "congratulations" because it means you are already taking initiative to pursue something you may have never tried before. That takes courage to go for something new and is very exciting!That's what this course is all about, diving into something new. New skills, new concepts, new terms and "shop talk", potential you never realized you had, and an overall new discovery of the joy of playing music on the guitar!My goal in creating this course was to make it as easy and efficient and enjoyable as possible for a brand new beginner, or close to total beginner, to learn how to play the guitar. This course guides you through the fundamentals and techniques needed to play, as well as gives you the opportunity to put into practice those new skills with various exercises and jam track videos. As you develop these skills more and more, you will be ready to check out various songs you wish to learn in the online world through Ultimate Guitar, Youtube, etc. I know this typically is the main goal of someone wanting to learn the guitar, so that's why the concepts taught equip you to learn any particular song you wish to learn at your respective level, and as you progress from this course into the next level of playing. One of the key things my instructor taught me was how to teach myself. This course is designed to prepare you with the knowledge needed to pursue whatever direction you wish to go as you progress through the course and upon completion.
