What you will learn

I started this course knowing how intimidating it can feel to pick up the guitar for the first time, so I made sure each lesson is bite-sized and super digestible. By breaking down the essentials into a 10-week, step-by-step roadmap, you get to build your skills at a comfortable pace without feeling overwhelmed. I've carefully selected songs and exercises that are not only fun but also reinforce the fundamentals you need. But it's not just about strumming strings; you'll also learn how to understand guitar lingo and read music, which is super helpful for your musical journey. The course is structured to give you quick wins, keeping you motivated and excited about your progress, and you'll find the community support fantastic. You'll have all the ingredients to make your start in guitar playing as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
