Korshub's take

Overview

Built on the 80/20 principle, this course narrows guitar learning down to 20 core 'inputs', 10 music theory lessons and 10 technique lessons, chosen to deliver the majority of practical playing ability in the least amount of time. A 30-day practice schedule ties the lessons into a daily routine.

Who It's For

Guitar learners who want a focused, efficient path to real playing ability rather than an exhaustive method book, and who are willing to follow a structured daily practice plan.

Key Takeaways

Music theory essentials: musical alphabet, the 9 most common chords, and chord progressions
Pentatonic scale positions as a foundation for fretboard mastery
Technique fundamentals: ergonomics, strumming, alternate picking, and power chords
Downloadable Guitar Pro files, PDF tabs, and audio files to practice alongside the lessons

With a full 30-day schedule and multiple practice file formats included, the course is designed to be followed as a complete daily routine rather than watched passively.

About this course

In this course we'll break down the 20 most critical guitar concepts into 2 sections.

Music Theory
Guitar Technique

Within these two category's, there are 10 lessons each.
We'll call each lesson an "input." The goal is to choose the 20 most important "inputs" that give us 80% of our "output." In our case, our output is our direct ability to play guitar and understand music. By focusing on the 20 most important topics, this will allow us to build a solid guitar foundation in the most efficient and effective way possible. Just by joining this course, you will also get access to the discussion forums and additional free video content. So, congratulations to you!
