About this course

This course takes you from the first day with a guitar through confident playing on both acoustic and electric. You will master open and barre chords, strumming and fingerpicking, the CAGED system, pentatonic and major scales, and how to apply them across folk, blues, rock, and pop. Every concept is paired with a concrete practice drill and a target tempo so you always know exactly what to do next.
