Music Compound’s Guitar Course

Are you ready to begin your journey as a guitarist?

Look no further than the Music Compound “Introduction to Guitar Fundamentals: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide”.

This course is designed to guide the complete beginner at the very start of their journey, providing a solid foundation in the correct way to play and understand the foundational chords that will be the secret of your success for the rest of your musical life. The journey from “within you could play the guitar” to playing complete songs — and understanding how they work so you can apply the lessons you learn in the course to any other songs you want to learn!

A unique feature of this course is the inclusion of two 30-minute personal consultations with a Music Compound Guitar Instructor, to get you started and explain how the course works, and then check your results, answer any questions you might have, and suggest what to study next, once you have completed for the video lessons. The consultations can be in person at a Music Compound location or by Zoom or FaceTime if you aren’t local to the schools.

 

This course includes:

  • Lifetime access to 80 minutes of original on-demand video content with a Music Compound Guitar Instructor.
  • A printed spiral-bound resource booklet with all the onscreen graphics from the videos, plus SMART Goals and Repertoire trackers to keep you on the right path to get the results you want.
  • 2 30-minute personal consultations with a Music Compound Guitar Instructor.
  • Access to all further videos in the “Introduction to Guitar Fundamentals” course as new content is completed and uploaded over the coming year.

 

What you’ll learn:

How to tune the instrument and name all the parts of the guitar

How to play the eight most important chords on the guitar that all other chords and songs are built from

Correct finger placement and hand ergonomics to make the most clean and beautiful sounds
