UdemyIf you've wanted to play guitar but didn't know where to start, this course is your path. Designed for absolute beginners and folks brushing up on basics, it moves you from learning the parts of a guitar to playing full songs, all with downloadable resources you can reference forever.
You'll cover anatomy, holding, tuning, fretting, reading tabs, open chords, power chords, and strumming—the fundamentals that open every song. Along with chord diagrams, scale guides, and warm-up exercises, you get concrete material to practice with outside the videos.
By the end, you'll have learned six complete songs and five riffs, so you can immediately apply what you've learned. The goal isn't to become a virtuoso; it's to get you to the point where playing your favorite songs keeps you motivated.
In this class, I guide you through the essentials of learning to play the acoustic guitar. The course starts with learning about the different parts of the acoustic guitar and ends with learning how to play songs.
This class is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience playing acoustic guitar as well as for folks wanting to brush up on the basics of the instrument.
