Essentials Part 1

5 lessons with videos and notes

This course is all about laying the foundations. We will show you how to play your first chords, read chord charts and strum confidently in time. Follow this carefully and you won't have any bad habits moving forwards!

Essentials Part 2

5 lessons with videos and notes

Now that we've covered some basics, it's time to kick things up a notch! In this set of five lessons we'll be learning some trickier chord shapes, the "universal strumming pattern" and finally tackling a full song for the first time!

Essentials Part 3

5 lessons with videos and notes

In this course we'll be learning three more open chords, including the notoriously tricky F major! We'll then explore the difference between swung and straight rhythm patterns and finally tackle a new song with a hint of Van Morrison about it!

Essentials Part 4

5 lessons with videos and notes

We will now bring together everything we have learnt so far by tackling the hardest song yet! This song has multiple chord parts, three different rhythm patterns, dynamics and a pretty cool riff to learn... let's go!

Don't take our word for it.

Best site I've found for learning guitar and I've tried most of the big names. The difference here is the lessons are structured around what you need to do to improve and provide clear ways to practice.

Sam

I've been playing guitar for years, but have never properly understood how to take my playing to the next level. Then I stumbled upon Guitar Club, and I am so grateful to Dan and the YGA team for their brilliantly structured and inspirational guidance and lessons. This is exactly what I was looking for, and I am pleased to say that my playing has taken a big leap forward.

Chris

I could sit down and write positives about this guitar teaching site for ages! There are no negatives to write about. Every teacher on this course is genuinely passionate about what they do and this reflects on my learning.
