Introduction

Expand your chord knowledge

This course follows immediately on from Electric Beginners (Level 3). Our first intermediate electric course will help you expand your knowledge of chords to include all CAGED shapes across the neck, dramatically improving your versatility.

The Barre chord shapes we've covered so far are some of the most useful you can play on guitar, now I want to show you their next level!

Level up your rhythm playing

You'll also learn trickier and more subtle rhythms, and discover how to use dynamics effectively. This is a challenging course as it really focuses on dividing the fretboard into five positions to ensure you have an understanding of the whole guitar, even the dusty end of the neck!
