In this class, composer Jason Rivera guides you through the essentials of learning to play the guitar (acoustic guitar or electric guitar). The course starts with learning the anatomy of the guitar and ends with playing two simple songs.
This class is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience playing guitar as well as for folks wanting to brush up on the basics of the instrument.
If you’ve been wanting to learn how to play guitar but have been putting it off because you’re not sure where to start, then this class is for you. The goal of this class is to get you playing songs as quickly as possible. Once you complete this course, you’ll have the basics in place so that you can start learning how to play your favorite songs.
Included in this class are many downloadable resources: tips for tuning your guitar, chord diagrams, strumming patterns and sheet music, as well as audio recordings of the two songs we learn in the course for you to play along with.
In order to take this class, you’ll need a guitar (acoustic or electric) and a tuner (you can use a free tuning app for your phone or tablet).
