The guitar is the perfect instrument to not only learn how to play, but

had a few years of lessons, taught yourself, or never picked up a guitar,
this course is the perfect way to start. This engaging course, developed
by Dr. Colin McAllister, concert guitarist and celebrated teacher, will
teach you to play the guitar in a surprisingly short time.
In 24 fast-moving lessons, you’ll learn: left hand fingering and shifting,
right hand strumming, finger picking, pick playing; as well as note
reading. You’ll also explore the basics of music theory; a wide range of
chords, the foundation under a melody; the essential scales for guitar;
plus melodic “licks,” which equip you to play lead guitar lines and
melodies. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to play complete
songs and tunes in a range of musical styles, and so much more.
Learning to Play Guitar: Chords, Scales, and Solos offers you a highly
effective way to master the fundamentals of this universal instrument.O¥ er expires 02/15/21
