Course Description
If you've always wanted to learn how to play acoustic guitar - or even started once or twice in the past only to put it down in frustration - this series of beginner acoustic guitar lessons is likely the perfect approach for you. Acoustic Guitar for Beginners is a jump-start method designed to get you up and strumming quickly without having to work through tedious theory, scales and exercises. In fact, you'll be strumming chords and playing a few songs in your very first week of working with the course.
Acoustic Guitar for Beginners is tailored specifically for adults who don't have the time or desire for formal training. To get you on the fast track, we've deliberately steered clear of music theory, reading notation, exercises and scales (there's plenty of time for all that good stuff later). Instead, you'll dig in immediately learning how to play chords, strums and how to work with song books and lyric sheets.

The instructor and course layout was smooth and easy to follow with great explanations without being overwhelming. All presentations outlines great foundations that gave me the confidence to continue without being too frustrated.

I am a novice guitar player! I already know the things being taught as an introductory lesson. However, I picked up on a few things I was unaware of. Things as simple as finger placement directly behind the fret wire was new to me! Even pressing the notes “straight on” was a new lesson for me. I can’t wait to learn more from this application!

I like this course because the instructor makes it easy by taking one piece of learning at a time. The one thing he said that I found helpful is, when I'm watching tv I can strum and get use to it that way. I also like this course because there is no time limit on it. I think the instructor is exceptional....

Not sure yet, seems really basic which is what I was looking for. I don't have a guitar yet so I am just in the exploration stage right now trying to decide if I want to purchase one and what to look for.

It took me 2-3 weeks as a complete beginner to playing any kind of music instrument to get through the course, because I wanted to pracitce every little detail to make me sound somehow listenable while playing, replying some of the videos, but it was worth it

I am enjoying it. Struggling a bit with the families cord progressions. The pace is great. Some sessions I have to repeat before I feel comfortable to move to next one. Thanks so far for a great and enjoyable course. Playing guitar during lock down makes you forget that there is a virus out there and time passes much to quick. Had to repeat some of the lesson a few times to help me master it. Thanks so much it was greaT.

He is the best guitar tutor for beginners (as I have tried others but got confused). I had given up on learning guitar until I came across this course. Thank you very much for providing this course. I hope you will add new courses as well. Thank you once again. I am grateful to you.

Excellent course with great tuition. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learning. Thought the pace of delivering new playing skills was just right and have made a mental note of “pace”. Thanks again.

It's great for complete beginners but i understand the hardware part, ready for the actual learning chords and strumming
By Garry Norman on 12/30/2018
Yes this is the course I have been looking for, all the other courses get tied up in the theory where this course gets you playing straight away, everything is explained perfectly, all the practical to download for practice and a great teacher, fantastic.
