How it Works
Begin by learning modern sounding arpeggios (chords played as single notes).
Learn easy one-finger chords to gain basic skills and confidence switching between chords
Work your way up to three-finger chords, then get ready to take on strumming.
Begin strumming with down strokes then add up strokes. Once you're ready - add syncopation.
Challenge yourself by playing chords from a song called “A Horse With No Name.”
Learn ONE Scale used in blues, rock, and country music. Watch the example videos then use the scale to play along with backing tracks.
"Introduction to improvising" guides you to create your own single note solos to "jam" with friends.
Try your hand at chord melody following the example.
Follow this step-by-step approach and surprise yourself, friends and family with your new skills.
