Guitar Fundamentals is our third-generation learning program geared toward the first-time student and those returning to guitar after some time. The program is divided into two sections, Guitar Fundamentals One and Guitar Fundamentals Two. Each self-paced course runs between one and eight weeks, and combined they take you from pure basics such as learning to identify the G string to playing all the major full chord shapes and reading music - the essentials of guitar which apply to most styles.
Guitar Tricks' tested approach, refined over years of trial and error, is to present a step by step guide that ensures you have a rock solid foundation, wherever you begin. For that reason Guitar Fundamentals is broken into two separate courses.
Guitar Fundamentals One
Guitar Fundamentals One is our guide for the Absolute Beginner. Guitar Fundamentals One takes you from the moment you pick up the guitar all the way to the formation of full major chords. No previous knowledge is required or expected. All lessons have been tested to be truly step by step, at the exact level of difficulty required to encourage rapid skill building
Guitar Fundamentals Two
Guitar Fundamentals Two
Picking up where Guitar Fundamentals One left off, Guitar Fundamentals Two helps you become a well-rounded beginning guitarist. Guitar Fundamentals Two covers scales, reading music, minor chords, basic song structure, and barre chords. The lessons are more difficult, with the speed slightly increased to build skill. At the completion of this course you will have a strong foundation to pursue any musical style in our thousands of lessons.
