What You Will Learn?

  • Are you struggling with learning guitar chords? Do you want to learn your favorite songs, but have trouble with quick chord changes? Or are you just starting out as a guitar player and looking for some chords and easy songs to learn?.
  • In this course we will look at some basic major and minor chords and we will learn how make rapid chord changes through a selection of short songs/etudes and chord progression/chord chart exercises..
  • Learning guitar does not have to be boring. That’s why the best way to learn is by using a set of songs and exercises which are actually music. During the etudes in this course, you will also learn fingerpicking, and different techniques to make your songs sound good. These etudes will be presented at two different speeds: a practice speed and full speed..
  • We will also learn strumming techniques that will help you to master songs in two different time signatures. Most songs are either 4/4 or 3/4. The course will include songs and exercises in each of these time signatures..
  • And finally, we will do a little ear training game, which will help you to recognize and distinguish between major or minor chords. This is a very useful technique to enable you to learn new songs in the future by ear..
  • This course has been recorded and filmed with the instructor playing a classical guitar, but the material is equally applicable for those who play acoustic steel string guitar. .
  • Sheet music is provided for all of the songs and exercises in this course. These will be in three formats: standard musical notation, guitar tabulature (TAB), and GuitarPro format. ..
  • Learn chords with songs, exercises and games and become a guitarist!.
