Intro to Singer-Songwriter Guitar Course
Welcome to the [Intro to Singer-Songwriter Guitar Course]
In this epic 2-month course, you’ll learn singer-songwriter guitar by creating a strong foundation. Why get bad playing habits that stop you from your full potential when you can get it right from the very start?
Play guitar like a boss, don’t look silly on stage fumbling with barre chords and memorizing everything by rote.
Learn the guitar...
-
with proper technique (great tone comes from relaxed technique and good posture, do you know how?)
-
harmonically (fingerstyle strumming and groovy picking patterns)
-
melodically (learn scales, arpeggios and melodies that sound good on the uke)
What is the course format?
-
We meet for a total of 4 classes.
-
Each class is a 1-on-1 private lesson.
-
Each class lasts 2 hours. You get 8 hours of lessons in total.
And, in the process, you’ll understand:
-
Rhythm Guitar Basics... so you’ll know how to groove when you accompany yourself
-
Singer-Songwriter Guitar Harmony... so you know the difference between how to sound more like Bob Dylan or Elliot Smith or Jason Mraz
-
Fingerstyle Patterns and Grooves… so you don’t just strum all the time but can break into some cool fingerstyle sounds
