The Total Beginner's Guitar Course (Udemy.com)

it was fantastic his techer know what is new player is and he know what he saying for real my only problem is his not talking about clasic guitar his talk about a lot of electric thats what im not good with but the way he teach his so good like number one

It was more than I expected, I didn't pick it up as easy as I thought I would. It was probably more my lack of knowledge than your teaching skills, but I didn't get as much as I was hoping so I had to just rate my experience as average

Only very basic, pretty much an advertisment for full courses on author's website. I know, it's free, but I can't imagine anyone being able to play anything after just this.

For a beginner course I felt I learned more theory than from other beginner courses I've taken online. I've been playing for over 20 years and have never understood how to play in key but in 1 short lesson Mike explained in in a way I understood. Now I know what I need to practice and learn to be able to play in key with other people.

This is a great course. I can't believe this is free. There are many guitar lessons available online but up until now everything I tried just wanted me to copy techniques without understanding why I was doing those things. This is the first resource I have used that has given me a clue about music theory. I have already purchased Michael's Masterclass and look forward to starting that after I have completed this class.

well paced intro to guitar. i want to know more. it's obvious Michael has much to offer and i'll be taking other courses from him as they come out. lost half a star for using "right" as a filler word too often. otherwise he spoke well and articulated the topic for a beginner to follow along.

Although I know most part of what the course teaches, I found out a good way to remember essential things and new practicing exercises, and I liked every thing. The instructor keeps the pace slow for absolute begginers, but not that slow so it doesn't become boring. The audio is great, loud and clear. Absolutely recommended! Keep Rockin' out.

Lots of great information and introduction to an array of topics. However, this is too fast to be called a "Total Beginner's" course, and may be overwhelming to a true beginner just picking up the guitar. They need the material chunked into smaller pieces, and with a slower pace, especially the music theory. You can easily spend weeks or months just mastering the chords. That said, the instructor is very good and is clear in his explanations. Just look at each video as dipping your big toe into a huge pool, and be prepared that you'll need to take a deep dive into each later.

This was a very good starter course. I have played acoustic guitar for over 25 years and have taught most of that time too. I also perform as a live performer in my area. Although most of this was demonstrated on the electric guitar, I found it very useful for my playing, especially the abbreviated chords. The power chords section was great too.

Its clear and concise! I would find interesting how you piece together the single notes between the chord in your little country riff! I realize this is different for different music, but I find it is rarely actually covered in most classes! How does the theory work--even if the most fundamental. After all, it is this that I think will most help learning to play different songs by ear!
