Your guitar teacher Michael has been playing for 30 years and teaching one-on-one with students for 20, and over that time has seen the struggles beginners can have when they play guitar, so he developed a tried and tested step-by-step course for absolute beginners that will get the results you have always desired.

As An Added Bonus all the guitar lessons have multiple camera angles so you can see exactly what each hand is doing with onscreen TAB all with an easy to follow arrow with printable lesson materials so you can access them any time.

What you get in the course:

The first part you focus on the guitar fundamentals. Michael will start by talking you through selecting the best beginner guitar, guitar picks, guitar strap, guitar tuner and the best choices for you. You will learn the parts of an acoustic and an electric guitar and how to set up your amplifier.  

Michael will explore your correct posture, how to hold your pick and hand placement, correct guitar tuning techniques and all the skills a student needs to know before they start playing guitar. These steps are very important when first starting out and often overlooked by teachers with less experience.

Now the fun part.  We get straight into playing the guitar.  Michael knows you need to get a feel for the guitar first, so you start with reading TAB and playing on 1 string with 1 finger and we develop that skills with songs so you are playing straight away, from this point we take small steps learning new techniques and practising those skills with songs.  Using this method you'll be amazed at how fast you progress with your playing on an acoustic or an electric guitar. Learning a technique and applying that to songs is the best way to learn how to play guitar.


Michael has seen beginner guitar lessons that begin with chords and scales, this is simply wrong.  Through years of teaching beginners he understands it can be quite frustrating and takes a long time before you can see any progress in your playing because it is just too hard to start with these techniques. At essential guitar lessons we want you to get the right start. 

If you learn guitar the right way our step-by-step learning method will fast track your guitar playing by months as a beginner and years as you progress through to the advanced courses we have built. This is the best place to start for all beginners no matter what style of guitar playing you like.

"I've always loved teaching students how to play guitar and hope you enjoy this course as much as I did creating it."

Thanks Michael Warren - Creating Musicians Since 1997

Instructor Details

Michael Warren

I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and giving guitar lessons for over 20. During that time I have given hundreds of beginner guitar lessons and players of all levels the skills they need to play guitar, and through the years I have refined my teaching method to fast track your guitar playing.

I started playing piano at the age of 6 and played for about 4 years, then through friends I discovered the guitar.  

I took guitar lessons at the local music shop for a few years and then started playing classical guitar which I studied for over 7 years at Trinity College of Music London and sat all the exams required.  Throughout that time, I played around Australia and other parts of the world in cover bands and original bands.  

Then in my early twenty’s I discovered a love for teaching guitar. I started with a few friends and grew from there and have been doing that full time for 20 years.

Over the years, I was lucky enough to be able to write jingles for commercials, I also appeared in a Snickers extreme add and worked on the music for the movie Queen of the damned.  But I’ve always came back to teaching I loved seeing the joy on students faces when they learnt a new technique or we worked through a problem they were having with their playing.

There are many guitar courses online and the most famous aren’t always the best for a beginner. The easygoing manner and way of explaining suits me just fine. It’s sooo easy and it’s free! How can any starter impress their friends? - Do this course.

By Meagan on 6/10/2021

This course has been perfect for me, who is an absolute beginner. I really appreciate how the instructor breaks everything down into simple, easy to understand steps. I especially like the idea of stripping the chords away from a song to boil it down to its basic essence when you first start learning. I'm very excited to take the next course!

By Shereen Salah Ahmed on 2/23/2021

I don’t understand anything from the teacher and I thought it was a zoom meeting instead of a stupid video of a man talking extremely fast about guitars and the lessons are unnecessarily long

By Richard Meyers on 4/30/2020

I leant a lot of techniques that I previously had not considered. A very good intro course.

By David Riis Wilson on 1/29/2020

I'm few minutes into the course and I'm loving it already. The teacher literally teaches from the scratch, he doesn't assume anything. I'll give another review once I'm done with the course... but so far, so good.

By Trudy B on 11/30/2019

I am so excited to be doing this course. Everything so far has been explained in detail and I like the attitude of Mr Warren. It is easy really for a beginner which I am. I have looked at some video's further in the course and this is the course for me. Not overwhelming and a nice steady pace for a beginner and learning which will be very achievable.

By Camille on 4/27/2019

This is way better organized and presented better than the last one I took. I know I am not going to be a professional guitarist by any means (my fingers are too short to properly play), but if you are....I would seriously look into this course. And the finger exercises he shows are great.

By P C on 4/22/2019

It was very nice set of lectures .. Instructor was very good and I learned a lot from it. Best thing about the course is that it has more songs to practice. and from using single string one finger to 4 strings all fingers..

By Marcel Toeltl on 4/18/2019

Bis vor Kurzem war ich noch völliger Anfänger im Gitarren Spielen. Dieser Kurs hat für mich persönlich genau das gezeigt, was ich für meinen zukünftigen Stil benötige. So habe ich Freude am Üben bekommen und bin motiviert noch mehr zu machen.

By Phil on 12/22/2018

It felt a little too simple for me so far. I am an old player trying to recap youthful playing! Good for total beginner. I found the fast forward button and it got better.
