Beginner Guitar Lessons, Introduction to Course

Finally! Learn how to pay guitar from scratch! This is going to be a super long series of beginner guitar lessons, covering the mechanics of playing, the notes on the guitar, reading music, reading TAB, playing chords, learning theory and scales, improvising, learning songs by ear, etc. These lessons will be a reproduction of the thousands of lessons I have given over my 28 years of teaching guitar. You should have a notebook and a Hal Leonard Guitar Method One book if you want to follow along. Along the way Mel Bay's Method Book, Jerry Snyder's Finger Picking, Frederick M. Noad's Solo Guitar Playing, Blues You Can Use, and countless other books and resources will be enlisted. 00:00 - Course Overview & Introduction 00:29 - Understanding the Guitar String Diagram 01:41 - Open String Names (E-A-D-G-B-E) 03:07 - Mnemonic to Memorize Strings: "Eddie Ate Dynamite..." 04:13 - How Fretting Changes Pitch 04:44 - Navigating Notes Alphabetically 06:06 - Comparing Guitar Layout to a Piano 06:49 - Summary & Next Steps #BeginnerGuitar #GuitarLessons #LearnGuitar #GuitarBasics #GuitarForBeginners #MusicEducation #GuitarCourse #GuitarStrings #GuitarTeacher #StartingGuitar Some of my pop songs    • Roots 'n' Rock   Demos of my original hymns and praise songs.    • Church Songs
