Introduction

Take the lead!

Welcome to our Lead Guitar Beginners Level One course! If you're a beginner and love the idea of playing lead guitar then this is the course for you. Just as with all of our level one beginner courses, our primary focus is to build the key foundations that you can rapidly build on as you progress. We start from scratch with the key techniques that will allow you to build strength and accuracy with both hands whilst learning cool exercises that will help you monitor your progress and increase your speed and strength very quickly.

Learn the ultimate rock scale

With the basics covered we move on to learning your first scales including the ultimate rock scale (better known as the pentatonic scale) and using it to play your first riffs and solos. We show you how to play a variety of bends slides hammer-ons and pull-offs and then how to apply them to your new scale shapes so that you can play the solos and even improvise your own. By the end of the course you will fundamentally understand how lead guitar playing works and be ready to move on to level two!
