Course Description

Overview

Every exercise in this course is part of a REAL SONG

Let me ask you a question: why do you want to play guitar? For most people, the answer is "to play my favorite songs", or "to play cool music"

Most courses seem to forget about this and spend months making you play boring exercises and useless information, which leaves students demotivated and bored.

My main goal is to get you playing your favorite songs as quickly as possible.

So to do this, every single exercise in this course teaches you to play a real song. You'll learn all the techniques you need to by playing songs with those techniques in them, so you're never left learning something pointless or boring.

___________________________________________________________
