In this course, you will be introduced to the basics of electric guitar playing, ensuring you develop a strong understanding from the very start. You'll begin with a warm welcome and an introduction to the Beginner Course, including essential subjects like how to tune your guitar and hold it properly. These fundamentals are crucial as they set the stage for your learning experience.

Throughout the course, you'll learn to read guitar chord charts and handle a guitar pick, which are key to playing accurately and efficiently. You will also explore various strumming techniques, with or without a pick, to enhance your versatility.

As you advance, the course introduces more complex concepts, including rhythm techniques and playing the E chord. You'll learn about anchor fingers for easy chord changes and the importance of foot-tapping while playing. Continued strumming practice and the introduction of minor chords like Em and Am expand your repertoire, enabling you to play a wider range of songs effortlessly.

Module 4 delves into using a metronome, offering exercises to improve your timing and stretches to enhance finger dexterity. You'll master the widely-used Dm chord and learn to incorporate the most common strumming pattern into your play. Reading guitar TABs becomes accessible, and you'll gain confidence with minor chord songs.

Basic music theory is covered in later modules, teaching you about sharps, flats, and enharmonic equivalents. This foundational knowledge supports your ability to learn any strumming pattern and understand song structure. You'll also tackle the C chord and explore easy songs to practice your newly acquired skills.

The course proceeds with lessons on 6:8 time signatures and alternate picking techniques, including a focus on the G chord. You’ll learn to handle chord changes smoothly and practice complex strumming patterns, solidifying your rhythm and timing skills.

The final module emphasizes dynamics and air changes, introducing you to eight essential open chords. You’ll practice common chord changes efficiently, ensuring your strumming sounds polished. Strategies for memorizing songs and the importance of ear training are also covered to round out your complete learning experience.

Upon completing the course, you'll be well-equipped to pass the Beginners Course Grade 1, having mastered the essential skills needed to progress further in your musical journey.
