Description
The 21 Steps Beginner Guitar Course is suitable for everyone. It works on for electric and acoustic guitar and has all you need to start learning guitar. With elements of Rock, Blues and Pop Music, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar and tons of great tracks to learn (all supplied at 3 different speeds), it’s a whole bunch of fun and an extremely effective set of guitar lessons.So let me start by asking you a question or two…Have you tried to learn guitar before? Maybe you want to learn but don’t know where to start?Does is look too difficult or did you start playing guitar and quit? Possibly you were introduced to an old school method that wasn’t effective… You know the drill, play an E major chord, then a strumming pattern and then change to the next chord. Sounds easy, but it’s not when you first start learning guitar.This approach puts people off guitar immediately. It’s frustrating, painful and boring. It can be a nightmare, especially as you have only just picked up a guitar, held a plectrum for two minutes and learned your string names. Coordinating two hands, keeping all the fingers on the strings and in the right frets etc. And then trying to change to the next chord it easier said than done. In fact 90% of beginner guitarists give up for many of these reasons. The 21 Steps Beginners Guitar Course is designed to give you 100% chance of succeeding.So what makes this course different to the multitude of beginners courses you can find?Well, I put your enjoyment and success first. I am passionate about guitar and about teaching. I want you to have a blast and continue.So firstly, we don’t start with chords and strumming, and we learn rhythm guitar and lead guitar melodies back to back, so it’s not all just chords and pain.I spent nearly 30 years teaching guitar. Analyzing how beginner guitarists pick up guitar, what is possible for them to play immediately and what’s not. What creates pain, stress or tension and I saw how NOT starting with big open chords and strumming is way more productive for all involved.We have a structured curriculum and a nice gradient to the lessons, you’ll never be pushed too hard of overwhelmed and you’ll have jam tracks at three different speeds to support your progress.We take small achievable steps, with real tracks to learn for each of the 21 steps. You’ll learn all your chords and strumming patterns, but you will also learn scales – pentatonic, major and minor scales, melodies, lead guitar, triads and inversions, blues, rock and pop concepts, tons of rhythm guitar, a wealth of interesting chords, min and maj7, dom7, sus2 4, add9 and more.Of course there will be strumming patterns – but only when you are ready and we will start simply. I design the first chord changes to flow very smoothly by using smaller chord shapes that flow seamlessly.As I mentioned, all the steps work back to back, so if Step 1 has some chords, in Step 2 you’ll learn a melody that fits over it, so we do chords and lead alternately. This gives our fingers a break and makes it way more musical and way more interesting. In this way we work on strength, coordination, dexterity, scales and chord patterns.You will be feeling like a real guitarist here in no time. Learning guitar in such a way that you’ll hardly notice all the chords and scales you are learning. The tracks are so much fun to play along with. You even get a bare track where you are the guitarist!So do you want to be a statistic? One of the 90% who quit or do you want to be a guitar legend? I guarantee you with this course you have a 100% chance at success. This course works, as I said I have been doing this for nearly 30 years, with 1000’s of students worldwide and a bestselling course Pure Pentatonic Power.See you on the inside, GuitarJoolz
