Conclusion

What You Will Learn?

  • In this course I am going to teach you four fundamental bar chord shapes.  With these few chord shapes you will be able to play at least one version of every major and minor chord.  We will also discuss the musical alphabet and where the notes are located on the guitar.  .
  •     You should take this course if:.
  • • You want to better understand the guitar neck.
  • • You want to learn chords that will allow you to learn intermediate level songs..
  • • You want to learn some basic music theory..
  •     This course is intended for someone who already has some basic guitar playing ability.  Not all songs can be played with open position chords and the next step is to learn bar chords.  This course will help you unlock allot of music that may have previously been a mystery to you. .

  • • Tune your Guitar.
  • • Name Each of the Guitar Strings.
