These lessons are designed to take you from knowing absolutely nothing about guitar and music to being able to make basic chord progressions in the key of C Major.

Here we branch off towards more complex chords and alternate keys, including natural and harmonic minor, as well as expanding the positions on the guitar we can comfortably play inside.

I also encourage you to explore the [[#TechniquesTechnique Lessons|techniques sectiontechnique lessons]] below at this point. They will help you gain expressiveness, speed, and a fuller understanding of what it takes to be a good guitarist. They can be consumed independently in any order, although I start with the most essential techniques and move towards more specialized ones.

Here are common techniques used when playing guitar. These are technical, not musical. In other words, they are not compositional techniques, but focused on either timbre or efficiency of motion. They allow the guitar to ''sound differently '' or can be used to increase one's ''playing speed'', but they won't help you learn ''which'' notes to play. It is essential to master most of these to ''fully express '' yourself musically.
