Great for absolute music beginners or those with some knowledge, you will gain confidence as you hear your first notes, strum your first chords and complete your first songs. And, with the Seeing Music method, students gain a foundation in music knowledge that lets you later easily progress to your next level. This course focuses on forming basic chords and applying strumming rhythms to them. It does not require knowledge of sight-reading staff paper melodies. Includes a large chord reference section for future song learning.

Learn the proper way to strum, form chords and find different and interesting rhythms.

Any time or age is a great time to begin guitar. This method has been tested with child and adult learners and proven to work. It focuses less on reading from musical staffs and more from traditional chord charts used by so many guitar songbooks.
