Introduction to guitar, a structured and very accessible course with access to bespoke online resources created by the tutor.  

What will be covered on the course?  What will be taught to learners? 

• Playing to the pulse / beat & basic rhythms 
• Beginner chords using 3 or 4 strings (mini chords) 
• Introduction to basic melodies & reading music / guitar tablature 
• Most importantly all of the above is learned while playing cool pop songs!

What will learners achieve by the end of the course? 

• To play basic guitar chords and melodies along to tailor made and flexible backing tracks of vibrant pop songs (Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake etc)

As this course is online learners will require access to a laptop, smart phone, computer or tablet.  The course will be accessed through Zoom.  You will also require  a fully stringed & working guitar is. It will be really helpful if it could be tuned prior to the start of the each lesson – instructions will be send to learners but the tutor is also happy to help with this, if extra help needed at the start of lessons.
