Beginner Guitar Lessons: Learn Guitar - The Complete Guide

Description

This course will help you become a confident & creative guitar player. It progresses you to an intermediate level of guitar playing. And you don't need any previous guitar playing experience. You are able to join with an acoustic or electric guitar.

Guitar lessons can seem like a daunting process for some students. But with over 20 years playing & teaching experience - and a focus on encouraging self-belief and creative expression, I will make this an enjoyable and rewarding journey for you.

I have combined 3 of my guitar courses in to this package.

COURSE 1 - LEARN GUITAR: THE COMPLETE BEGINNERS GUIDE

In this class you will learn:

• Guitar anatomy

• Tuning

• How to read chord boxes & tab

• A variety of playing exercises to improve overall technique

• A big selection of riffs from a mix of musical styles

• Major and Minor chords

• The foundations of Music Theory

• Full songs (with extra ones attached as PDF's)

• How to restring your guitar

• How to develop timing

• Strumming patterns

• Power Chords

• Scales

• Lead guitar & improvisation

• Hammer-on and Pull-off techniques

• How to create chord structures and work within keys of music

• Songwriting - how to compose your own music

I also provide a live backing track for you to jam along with me. This is a chance for you to implement all of the lead guitar knowledge you have acquired - and to generally just have fun and get creative. I strongly believe that everyone has unique creative expression, and this will be an opportunity to discover and explore yours.

COURSE 2 - POWER & BAR CHORDS

This 2nd class is all about mastering Power & Bar Chords. It will begin to work you up to an intermediate level - on either acoustic or electric guitar.

These chords open up a ton of possibilities! They are incredibly versatile and are used in a huge amount of music. They are an essential step in any guitar players development and they unlock a lot of doors!

We are going to look at the correct way to shape these particular chords and learn some very useful stretching/warm up exercises that are going to improve the overall strength and independence in your fingers.

A wide variety of songs will be a big focus throughout. And we will utilise this range of music to develop a broad playing style, that will leave you feeling even more confident and creative on the guitar.

I supply a backing track, that provides an example of how you can use each of these chords alongside each other. And I will again encourage you to write your own music and expand your unique, creative ability.

COURSE 3 - GUITAR PRACTICE: IMPROVE YOUR FINGER STRENGTH, STRETCH, SPEED & INDEPENDENCE

This final course is all about improving guitar technique and creating effective guitar practice routines. This is designed to cater for your progression from beginner to intermediate guitar player - but even the more accomplished & experienced guitar players will be able to take something from this class.

We are going to cover a ton of different exercises that will improve your guitar:

• Finger strength

• Stretching capabilities

• Speed you're able to play at

• Finger independence

The lessons are designed to move at an easy to follow pace, and along the way, I throw in some classic guitar riffs that will help us implement these techniques.

As well as guiding you through these exercises, I will also encourage you to start thinking about how you could create your own practice techniques - and I will always aim to instil the belief that you are able to discover and express your own, unique playing style and ability.

By the end of these courses, you will have developed a great standard of playing, will be well versed in a variety of guitar knowledge, and will have all the tools you need to take your guitar playing and creativity to the next level.
