Description
With over 120 easy-to-learn singalong songs, this course is ideal for beginners and would be campfire guitarists.
The songs are demonstrated for students to play along with, although there are also easy-to-follow chord numbering text boxes on the screen with each song for students to pause the video and practice with.
Songs with similar chord progressions are grouped together to make the learning of multiple songs easier.
While all parts of each song are demonstrated, the songs aren't played in their entirety,Â mostly just playing once through a verse and chorus, with lyrics and verse order left up to the student to search for online.
All songs are in the key of C Major and the benefits of playing in this key with its easy-to-make open chords are demonstrated.
There are also some great tips on how to spice up your simple chord progressions, as well as instructions on how to use a Capo to change the key if required.
IÂ use my own chord numbering system, which I think offers a very easy way to write out songs in shorthand for easy reference and also facilitates the practice of learning the songs by heart.
Writing out the chords as the number the chord is within the key, also makes it easy to see repeating patterns in the songs and understand how chord progressions work.
Who this course is for:
This course is for beginner guitarists and would be campfire guitarists who lack the confidence to play infront of people or can never remember songs to play in the moment. This simple method of learning songs will help them to commit songs to memory and build their confidence in performing for others.

Instructor's Courses

Pete HollandGuitarist/singer, gigging musicianFrom London, currently based on the east coast of Spain.A mostly self-taught guitarist and singer with the help of private lessons along the way.Part-time gigging musician for 35 years.Also worked, pre covid, in a local school as Mr. Pete "Guitar Man", teaching English through music, another thing that I really enjoyed and hope to be doing again soon.Teaching: I give private lessons, one-to-one or to small beginner groups.What I've realised is that not everyone wants the same thing from the guitar. Some want to become guitar heroes, some want to be song composers, and some just want to noodle at home in front of the TV. So there is no "one course fits all" option when it comes to learning the guitar, it always depends on what the student is hoping to achieve. That's one of the reasons why so many people start guitar and give up. For those people I came up with what l think is a simpler method of starting out, using a couple of basic shortcuts, with the aim of getting the student along the learning path sufficiently that they carry on with it and don't give up. I'll give away some of the secrets here.Keep it simple.Stay in one key.See chords as they function in that key (there are just 7 chords!)Don't even name the chords, just number them 1 to 7. Hey! that's just like the pros actually do.Suddenly, intervals (the difference in sound between two notes) are clear, song structures are apparent, the basics of music make sense. So, you're only in one key, but it's easy to learn other keys later on.I'm convinced that this Shortcut to Guitar course is as simple and painless as it can be. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it might be for you.
