Final Thoughts
What You Will Learn?
- Welcome to this beginner guitar class. It covers everything you need to become a confident and creative guitarist. You can join with an acoustic or electric guitar. And you don't need any previous guitar playing experience. .
- 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 hope to make this an enjoyable and rewarding journey for you. .
- In this class you will learn:.
- 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. .
- PDF's are attached to the class, to further assist your learning journey. .
- I love hearing from students and am available for any questions, so please reach out any time via discussions on Skillshare or email.
- Your journey doesn't need to end here. I have multiple classes available and would suggest the following order, to continue your progression:.
- Learn Guitar: Power & Bar Chords.
- Learn Guitar Fingerstyle: A Beginners Guide To Fingerpicking .
- Guitar Practice: Improve Your Finger Strength, Stretch, Speed & Independence .
- Guitar Songs: 6 Iconic Guitar Riffs.
- ** The first version of this class - Learn Guitar: The Complete Beginners Guide - was created in 2020 and was the first class I ever produced! I'm very proud of it and the content still holds tons of value. It is also a shorter class to follow, with less information to digest. But after 3 years of teaching on Skillshare, I wanted to update and increase the content. My aim with this new version, is to take you on a longer and more detailed journey, which will develop your playing ability even further. I've also hopefully learnt a lot more about filming, editing & presentation since then!.
