Content and Overview
This course is ideal for beginner, adult students and intermediate guitarists. I’ve thoughtfully prepared 37 clear, concise lectures.  Each section explains a specific element in music by focusing on music theory and ear training – in the context of the guitar.  This course focuses on useful topics that will teach you a holistic approach to music (including ear training). You’ll begin with in-depth lectures that cover all of the essential information about harmony and melody that you’ll ever need. Many lectures include hands-on activities and exercises designed to apply the skills you’ll be learning.
Throughout this course, you’ll discover the power of your intellect to learn new material, while also leveraging the flexibility of your intuition to understand concepts like groove, tension and resolution.
The later sections of the course explain Rhythm, The Blues and Ear Training. You’ll learn how to play guitar, following chord diagrams, guitar tab and music notation. You’ll understand why and how hit songs often contain the same chords. You’ll also learn how to use your ears to learn new music quickly and accurately.
As a performing musician and private instructor with over 12 years of professional experience, my methods not only explain how music fundamentals work logically, but also demonstrate the interconnected relationships that are essential to understand if you want to play music by ear and from the heart.
