What You Will Learn?

  • Welcome to my “Guitar Basics” series. This class is all about mastering barre chords. It’s designed for beginners and applies to both acoustic and electric guitar..
  • Barre chords unlock the fretboard and free up your guitar playing! They are very versatile chords and are used in countless songs. Learning barre chords is an essential step in a guitar player's development. In this class we will cover the correct way to build and play these particular chords..
  • After we learn how to play full barre chords and half barre chords we will utilize these skills to learn and play an original song..
  • Key Lessons:.
  • Resources: A downloadable PDF, that includes the chord diagrams (chord boxes) used in the song. Check out the "Projects & Resources" tab to download it. I also provide sheets to help with tuning your guitar and reading chord diagrams..
  • This class was created with beginners in mind, but it assumes you’re already familiar with guitar essentials such as major and minor open chords, rhythmic notation, and reading guitar charts. For a refresher on any of those skills, review some of my other classes such as Acoustic Guitar Basics or Electric Guitar Basics..
  • I would love to hear from you and am happy to answer any questions, so please feel free to reach out to me via the discussions here on Skillshare..
  • I hope that this class inspires you to learn more about how to play guitar and create music. I have multiple classes available here and suggest these two to continue your learning:.
  • Writing Music 101: Create a Chord Progression on Guitar (Major Key).
  • Writing Music 101: Songwriting Basics.
