Unit 1

Essentials Part 1

This course is all about laying the foundations. We will show you how to play your first chords, read chord charts and strum confidently in time. Follow this carefully and you won't have any bad habits moving forwards!

Unit 2

Essentials Part 2

Now that we've covered some basics, it's time to kick things up a notch! In this set of five lessons we'll be learning some trickier chord shapes, the "universal strumming pattern" and finally tackling a full song for the first time!

Unit 3

Essentials Part 3

In this course we'll be learning three more open chords, including the notoriously tricky F major! We'll then explore the difference between swung and straight rhythm patterns and finally tackle a new song with a hint of Van Morrison about it!

Unit 4

Essentials Part 4

We will now bring together everything we have learnt so far by tackling the hardest song yet! This song has multiple chord parts, three different rhythm patterns, dynamics and a pretty cool riff to learn... let's go!

Learn your first chords, and build practice habits

In this course we look at a wide range of open chords, learn how to strum properly and how to read chord charts and much more along the way! To ensure that you apply all these new skills at the end of each unit we challenge you with a song that's been custom written for the course and has been recorded by extremely talented professional musicians. These songs are the perfect way to put the concepts into practice. By the end of this course you will have laid the foundations to your guitar playing and will be ready to move on and tackle the next level up as you continue to improve.
