Guitar from the Beginning

From the first note to early intermediate: the instrument and how it sounds, holding and tuning it, the fretboard, rhythm and strumming, tab and the staff, chords and melodies, fingerpicking, barre chords, scales, bends and vibrato, the ear and how to practise, folk, blues, rock, classical and Chinese melodies, the electric guitar, its amplifier and effects, care and setup. Every plate sounds, and with a microphone it listens.

This course is not a substitute for a teacher or for medical advice: pain while playing means stop. Every sound is synthesised by the page and every sample performance is the course's own; every score is traditional or in the public domain, in the course's own edition, and popular songs appear only as chord progressions. The microphone, when you turn it on, is analysed in the page only and never stored or sent. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any maker, exam board, publisher or institution mentioned here; trade names belong to their owners.
